Mornings With John Mackenzie

John MacKenzie chats with Jason Christopher, Pharmacist and Managing Director of Cairns Doctors and Whole Life Pharmacy, about the ongoing vandalism, break-ins, and crime suffered by him at the hands of young people. A spate of attacks against businesses at the Barr St Markets has hindered trading and highlighted concerns for the safety and well-being of customers, staff, and residents nearby. A group of young offenders can allegedly be seen on security video destroying property and leaving behind graffiti that references the Cleveland Youth Detention Facility. Exacerbating youth crime and justice in Cairns and FNQ has been a controversial concern for the Queensland state government.
