Can we get it right this time? - re: NT emergency response intervention.

In the article titled 'Can we get it right this time', by Marni Cordell, the review of the Northern Territory emergency response and the response itself is highly criticised.

Important buzz words from the article re: the policy include;
- "slap dash policy"
- 'blanket measures"
-"lack of consultation"
-"hastily designed policy"
-"discriminate on race"
-"across the board"
-"a strong sense of injustice"
- "No other part of Australian society is subjected to that — where to receive basic human rights you have to pass up some freedoms"
-"Aboriginal people used as a political football"

All of these opinions of the writer, and findings from the report go to the heart of my research topic. That is, that politics has a habit of getting in the way of good law.

For anyone that has an interest in following the intervention, or this research area, the full article is found at the following link:
