Government discussion paper will keep NT Intervention architecture in place

The Stop the Intervention Collective (STICS) in Sydney says a government discussion paper 'Stronger Futures' will leave the architecture of the failed NT Intervention in place.

Paddy Gibson, an organiser with STICS says the government's report fails to acknowledge clear evidence of deteriorating social conditions under the NT Intervention.

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.
