Brooke Boney clashes with Alice Springs business owner behind Facebook page ... trends now

Brooke Boney has clashed with an Alice Springs business owner who founded a social media movement documenting the crime wave gripping the outback town.

Visiting the central Australian community for a Today show segment, Ms Boney spoke to Darren Clark, who is behind the Action for Alice Facebook page.

The page and Mr Clark have played a large role in spotlighting the crime crises gripping the town - with Anthony Albanese's Labor government forced to reinstate alcohol bans after removing them last year.

But extreme racial views are also often aired on the page from some members of the community targeting Indigenous youths.

'I'm an Aboriginal woman. So then sometimes when I see people saying things like that, some of those comments, it stings,' Ms Boney said.

Mr Clark argued if the situation isn't properly addressed, 'someone's going to die here soon.'

'I'm the only one that's shown the truth in this town, and if I want to show even more truth, no one would live here,' he told Ms Boney.

The Action for Alice page highlights the crime the town is dealing with every day.

'Commercial break-ins have risen by 55 per cent, alcohol-related assault also up 55 per cent and domestic violence assault is up by 53 per cent,' Ms Boney said.

'The shocking figures that paint a dire picture of a once thriving town.'

Mr Clark said many of the highly charged comments on the Action for Alice page complaining of the crime were from Aboriginal community members.

'Do you know all the people on there?' he asked Ms Boney.

'Because some of them comments are actually coming from indigenous people that live in this town.

'We are a community here. We are black and white, and the black fellas of this town, they are p***ed as well.'
