Update on Oz with Brad Foster

From Afternoons, 2:20 pm on 2 April 2024

This week Brad Foster reports on the Alice Springs youth curfew with more police on patrol in the Northern Territory town, the Federal Government's goal of Australia becoming a  globally competitive solar panel manufacturer, and some wet weather on the way along the east coast. He also talks about the cancellation of a major music festival and the rise of property investors.

Riots outside the Todd Tavern led to the Northern Territory government triggering a youth curfew.
