Two months after the death of Kumanjayi Little Baby, community leaders in Alice Springs are demanding a comprehensive audit of government funding allocated to Indigenous programs. They argue that despite significant investment from both federal and territory governments, living conditions and safety for Indigenous residents have not demonstrably improved. The call for accountability stems from a perceived disconnect between financial expenditure and tangible outcomes within the community. Leaders are questioning the effectiveness of current strategies and resource allocation. They seek transparency regarding how funds are being used and whether they are reaching those most in need. This demand for an audit reflects growing frustration over ongoing systemic issues and a desire for concrete improvements in the well-being of Alice Springs’ Indigenous population. The situation highlights concerns about the implementation and impact of government policies aimed at addressing Indigenous disadvantage.
