I read a large amount of information each week on indigenous health and affairs. There is no way I can blog about it all. Many of the links I place on Twitter where I can be found as @BiteTheDust.

I will regularly compile these links and place on the blog under the category of Indigenous News Update.

A Comedic View of the Intervention

by Robbo on March 20, 2009

in Humour,Indigenous,Remote health

I have commented on the Northern Territory Intervention many times (a few links down the bottom). While not directly affecting where I am at the moment I see and hear from participants and the people it is supposedly helping.

A good summary can be found at Crikey.com.au of the whole shebang.

And there is also this little piece of satire from last year. Actually it is more truth than satire.

Here are some of the posts where the Intervention is mentioned:

NT Intervention a Failure – How Could That Be?

Compulsory Aquisition of Aboriginal Lands Continues
