Gillard can’t face gruesome Intervention facts – Sydney protest planned

Closing off her recent trip to the Northern Territory, Prime Minister Julia Gillard cited “recent statistics” to support her claim that the Intervention is improving lives for Aboriginal people.

But statistics from the governments' latest ‘Closing the Gap in the NT Monitoring’ contradict every one of her claims and demonstrate the increasingly desperate conditions in Aboriginal communities.
