This year marked the tenth anniversary of the NT Intervention – a political, social and military takeover of Aboriginal communities by the Australian government with the racist and fallacious justification of saving its children. The reality has been that this intervention has done nothing to solve the historical marginalisation of these communities and has just created a new era of ‘powerlessness’ for Aboriginal communities in Australia. While incredible damage has been done, Aboriginal people and supporters in the union movement have continued to oppose this continuing repression. The fight for Aboriginal rights and against the Intervention continues.
Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land
