Have your say on proposed 10 year Intervention

The Federal Government is proposing the “Stronger Futures in the Northern Territory” legislation, that will extend key parts of the Northern Territory Intervention for 10 more years. This comes despite its recent community consultations that had demonstrated overwhelming Aboriginal opposition to the Intervention’s continuation.

The Government has established a Senate Inquiry into this proposed legislation. The Inquiry is asking people to submit their views, for or against, which will help influence the Government’s action. Individuals, groups and organisations can submit to the Inquiry. Please see the link below for how to write your submission and where to send it. Short and sweet is fine! Deadline: 1 February 2012
