The NT News has produced a powerful front cover following the shocking allegations of youth abuse in juvenile detention centres in the territory.

In bold, thick writing the paper reads, “Sack the lot of them”, referring to the NT Government.

Wednesday’s July 27 cover accuses the Territory government of ignoring a report from the Children’s Commissioner “detailing systematic abuse of young prisoners in detention”.

The report handed to officials 11 months ago “was built around the very same videos that aired on national TV on Monday night,” claims the paper.

Adding: “The Government ignored the report and even pushed for tougher measures.”

Following the Four Corners report earlier this week the PM yesterday called for a Royal Commission into the mistreatment of children in youth detention centres.

The cover has drawn much attention on social media with both comments of praise and condemnation.
