"This system has made it much harder for us to share and care for each other" - After 6 years of NT intervention

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 21/06/2013 - 10:17pm

By Barbara Shaw - Six years ago my family watched the TV in my living room as John Howard announced he would be sending in the military and taking control of our communities.

I have never been more frightened in my life. I locked the gate of my town camp and kept the kids inside for two weeks for fear of them being taken. I worried constantly about my family out bush who didn't understand what was coming.
