The Racial Discrimination Act, a basic tenet of our Australian democracy, must be restored in relation to matters recently excluded under the Intervention. The NTER was proclaimed after the release of the Little Children are Sacred report. I submit that the Review needs to repeal five year lease provisions of the freehold title of communities and instead of the wastage of funds on bureaucratic implementation of punitive measures, apply these funds to on the ground programmes to support and protect children and meet the basic needs of all Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory.
Yours sincerely
