the Intervention Reform Coalition of Darwin

The Intervention Reform Coalition are a coalition of people who have come together to show their support for the rights of Aboriginal people to have a say in what happens in their communities, for Territorians to have a say in what happens in the NT and to show their concern about the way the intervention disregards hard fought for human rights.

The group includes people working in the areas of law, medicine, the arts, and the environment who after hearing from speakers Chris Howse (Aboriginal Justice Advocacy Committee), Tony Fitzgerald (Anti Discrimination Commission), Pat McIntyre (Barrister), Dr Paul Burgess and Olga Havnen (Combined Aboriginal Organisations and Women for Wik) at a public meeting, felt they needed to make a stand. The group supports the stand taken by the NT Combined Aboriginal Organisations.
