26 Aug 13: "Greens candidate for Lingiari, Barb Shaw has long been an anti-intervention campaigner and, an advocate for improving the quality of life for Aboriginal people. Her decision to run for the Greens she says is a reflection of their beliefs. "The Greens are standing up for what matters and what matters the most is the people in the country, and that is what the Greens have been fighting for ever since Bob Brown foundered the Greens party." If elected, the Greens candidate promises to put an end to the Stronger Futures policy, provide support for kidney dialysis and mental health in the bush, and reintroduce bilingual education. "Learning in language helps our kids achieve and keep culture strong.""

21 Jun 13: "Barbara Shaw has lived on income management in Alice Springs for more than five years. ... They said the Intervention was about stopping children from being abused, that it was going to stop the drinking and domestic violence. But all I have seen is racism and disempowerment of our people. It's the old assimilation policy back again, to control how we live. ... But most importantly we must continue to stand together and to struggle, to fight for Aboriginal self determination and to fight for jobs and services for all struggling communities - not the punishment of the Intervention. Black and White unite!" By Barbara Shaw
