Urgent real action is required to protect people living in public housing areas in Darwin from unruly tenants and others who make life a living hell. Residents in one area where a man was stabbed to death in a unit , the goings on in which had been the subject of numerous complaints to Housing , the local member of parliament, police , drawn to the attention to the Chief Minister then on passed up the police line, are again suffering.
One cause of deep concern right now is an individual who is abusive , rants ,chases people, has scared women working in a nearby shop and often stands around with his hand like a cocked gun at his head.
He has been the subject of numerous complaints to Housing , police and once more the local member of parliament. Openly, he points around the units and says the occupant of one wants to bash him and another has threatened to shoot him.
Several people are showing signs of reaching the end of their tether. Yet again, the system is clearly not working and requires prompt, direct action.
In another housing complex, a tenant who repeatedly played loud music and had a variety of people moving in and out at night, was finally moved on after a long time. Both areas have been hit by graffiti .
