What’s really going on?
An update on NT Intervention
with Jeff McMullen and Graeme Mundine
"Our guest speakers will give an update on the
NT Intervention, as it is still going on via
Stronger Futures, and will do so for at
least another nine and a half years."
"Special presentation of the book,
"A Decision to Discriminate:
Aboriginal Disempowerment in the Northern Territory",
which will be on sale. The message in this
book is highly important and vital."
"This new book is an important historical record
that focuses on the Senate Committee Inquiry
into the Stronger Futures legislation. It shows
how the Government decision-making process
chose to ignore the views and ideas expressed
by many Aboriginal people of the Northern Territory
communities in much the same way as has
happened since colonisation."
The event is part of the Guringai Festival 2013
