“Dear Prime Minister, the Stronger Futures legislation was recently passed in the Senate, subjecting Aboriginal people in the NT to 10 more years of Interventionist policy. This is despite overwhelming opposition expressed from Aboriginal leaders, national organisations, the general public and even condemnation from the United Nations. How can we call ourselves a country of the 'fair go' if the Government is now refusing to allow a human rights test of the legislation by the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights, as called for by the National Congress of Australia's First Peoples? ”

This is very shameful... Future generations will be embrassed of this. Please stop this right now! Time to sit down and work out with community, community by community what to do...

The interventionist policy is blatantly racist and should be abandoned. Even governments own report said it wasn't working so why is it still being extended.
