What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?

There is no way known that I would go out at night any more. There is too much crime happening in what was once a most peaceful and safe city.

Driving at night risks a rock coming through the windscreen.

Neither would I go walking in the CBD after dark for fear of being accosted or mugged. For an old man like me, the only thing happening in Darwin of the night was they would go to nightclubs and drink. That’s not my scene.

I’m frightened of going into the Shopping Centre at night within our suburbs because of the behaviour of people and thread for safety and security and then exists.

From sunset onward until the start of the new day, my place is at home the only area where I feel secure.

That never used to be the case. Darwin used to be peaceful and happy without threats being offered to people by others.

Over time the situation gets worse.

The only thing that would change my mind about how I feel, would be for Darwin to revert to the way it used to be. And that of course will never happen.
