More Civil Societies with Eva Cox: The Intervention
Soon we’re coming up to the 10 year anniversary of the Northern Territory Emergency Response (NTER), also known as The Intervention.
On this episode of More Civil Societies Eva Cox discusses the effects of the intervention on Aboriginal communities. She argues the tightening of restrictions placed on Indigenous families under the premise of “protecting Aboriginal children” were highly counterproductive and serves to further divide and alienate Indigenous communities.
Income controls such as cashless debit cards not only shame families as they shop, but there is no evidence to justify their effectiveness.
