"They’re policing the streets of Darwin. But they aren’t police.
These are guards from the private security firms paid millions of dollars by
the Northern Territory government.
In Darwin’s northern suburbs and nearby Palmerston, guards from the Public
Order Response Unit (PORU), a new division of the company Neptune NT, walk the
streets with dogs.
In Darwin’s CBD, it’s the “blue shirts” — guards from a company called
Territory Protective Services (TPS).
Day and night, they can be seen patrolling the CBD on foot.
And on a golf buggy."
