The NT Intervention has been a disaster for Aboriginal communities.

Aboriginal peoples, communities and organisations are outraged by the failures of the NT Intervention and the breaches of human rights.

This statement is putting forward an alternative based on Self Determination and sustainable resourcing for all communities.

Initiated by the campaign against the Intervention, this statement is a synthesis of the demands coming from Prescribed Area People's Alliance meetings and community leaders for the past four years.
