00:02Doreen Dyer has lived in Karama since the Darwin suburb was developed in the early 1980s.
00:09She says in the last 10 years things have changed for the worst.
00:14It hurts you to think that it's been allowed to deteriorate it to that degree.
00:18Public housing tenants now subject to a three strikes and you're out rule
00:23following regular complaints from residents in suburbs like Karama and Malac.
00:28What we do want to make sure is that every tenant in public housing does three simple things.
00:33Looks after their home, pays their rent and is being a good neighbour.
00:38Under the new system minor anti-social behaviour breaches will attract one strike,
00:43moderate breaches two and significant breaches three strikes and eviction.
00:49People may be threatened, the property may be damaged.
00:52Ongoing, repeated anti-social behaviour could lead to three strikes and immediate action
00:59taken towards removing that tenant from their home.
01:02The three strikes rule replaces a red card system in which tenants could be kicked out
01:08after receiving six demerit points.
01:10Under the new policy, one demerit point will carry over as one strike.
01:15Labor attacking it for overwhelmingly impacting Indigenous Territorians.
01:21They closed down Yissa, predominantly Aboriginal.
01:24They're evicting public housing tenants, predominantly Aboriginal.
01:27They're stalling on the remote housing program, predominantly Aboriginal people.
01:31This is a government who are racially controlling a group of Territorians for their own benefit
01:37and that's to win votes.
01:38Back in Karama, former Labor voter Doreen doesn't want to see anyone lose their home,
01:44but she says things can't go on the way they are.
01:48With behaviour in different public housing, that seems to have been accepted as
01:54it's just Karama, it's just Malac.
01:58Everybody deserves to live a peaceful life in their own home.
02:03The three strikes rule comes into effect from today.
02:09What's the process?
