Stop the Intervention Rally

Sunday 20 June 2010

Lee spoke at the Town Hall rally, with other speakers including Steve Jumpinjimpa, a bilingual teacher from Lajamanu NT

“The Federal Intervention, designed by John Howard and continued under
Kevin Rudd, has achieved very little yet fundamentally undermined what
small amount of goodwill existed between the government and local
Aboriginal communities.

“A recent report by the Australian Indigenous Doctors Association and
researchers at the University of NSW paints a bleak picture of the
likely success of the intervention strategy.

“To keep pouring public money into a process which is producing such
poor outcomes for Aboriginal people is bad policy and bad government.

“The Greens fought hard to oppose the suspension of the Racial
Discrimination Act which has allowed the Intervention to go ahead.

“We will continue to oppose the Intervention and its regressive impacts.
