For anyone who is interested in reading some good analysis of the policies, agendas and politics leading up to the NT Intervention I HIGHLY recommend the collection of Essays entitled "Coercive Reconciliation" edited by Jon Altman and Melinda Hinkson. There are essays by over 30 prominent Indigenous Australians and academics, including the likes of Mick and Pat Dodson, and Rex Wild, one of the co-authors of the "Little Children are Sacred" report upon which the intervention is supposedly acting.
It is published by Arena publications and should be available in all good book stores (or give them details and they will be able to order it in for you).
Read it and make others you care about read it too!
