Book Launch: A Decision to Discriminate
Aboriginal Disempowerment in the Northern Territory
The Ngoppon Together Inc. AGM, Ninkowar
"This new book is an important historical record
that focuses on the Senate Committee Inquiry

how the Government decision-making process

by many Aboriginal people of the Northern Territory

happened since colonisation."
