INTERVENTION

A Public Forum on the Northern Territory Intervention into Indigenous communities and the Stronger Futures legislation.

On the five-year anniversary of the NT Intervention and at the beginning of a decade of so-called Stronger Futures, our speakers will discuss the scope of the Intervention, what has happened on the ground, and how the Intervention relates to neo-liberal governance and Australia’s settler colonial heritage. What are the ways forward?

Professor Jon Altman, ARC Australian Professorial Fellow at the ANU Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research
Rosalie Kunoth-Monks, Alyawarr/Anmatyerr Elder and ex-mayor of Barkly Shire, from Utopia, now a prescribed area under the NT Intervention

Barbara Shaw, descendant of the Kaytetye, Arrernte, Warlpiri and Warumungu people, from Mount Nancy Town Camp, now a prescribed area under the NT Intervention
