The National Congress of Australia's First Peoples backs calls by Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory for the Government to withdraw its legislations to continue the Intervention. All Australians that support justice and equality should put their names to letter below, telling the Parliamentarians that the bills must be properly scruitnised to ensure that they comply with Australian human rights standards.
