“We here have been in negotiations to assist both the Mintabie community and also the APY community for many years now and we’ve now come to this conclusion that really preserves the existing township, but with some tightening of the restrictions that really Go to some very serious social issues.

Mintabie resident Warwick Middleton says the proposed changes are draconian.

He says Mintabie residents are being unfairly blamed for alcohol abuse problems on the Lands.

“I’m shocked to tell you the truth that they would even consider doing this,” he said.

“I mean they’re punishing everybody in the community for what they consider to be something that’s happening with a few people.

“As far as the alcohol, that is just rubbish, even blind freddy knows that the alcohol is coming from Coober Pedy and Alice Springs.

MP Graham Gunn says he will not support any legislation that would bring Mintabie’s by-laws more into line with those of the APY Lands.

“I will be opposing it because it’s unrealistic, it’s unfair, not based on commonsense or what’s in the best interests of the total community,” he said
