The folks over at GetUp have put together a petition to the Government for the upcoming review of the NT Intervention:
Watch the brief video appeal from members of some communities affected, read the fact sheet and sign the petition to demand a consultative approach that protects human rights, not strips them away.
Dear Mr Rudd & Ms Macklin:
The NT Emergency Response is an ill-considered, discriminatory and blanket approach to issues that demand serious attention. The Racial Discrimination Act must be reinstated and the ‘emergency’ measures must be replaced with a long-term, consistent community development program that consults directly with the communities affected. These are fundamental issues of human rights, and we encourage you to properly implement the recommendations of the Little Children Are Sacred report.
