Wednesday, November 7

Through the use of direct quotation, this new book is an important historical record that focuses on the Senate Committee Inquiry into the Stronger Futures legislation. It shows how the government decision-making process chose to ignore the views expressed by many Aboriginal people of the Northern Territory communities, in much the same way as has happened since colonisation. Guest speakers: Alastair Nicholson(former Family Court judge); Elder Rosalie Kunoth-Monks (from Utopia, NT); Muriel Bamblett (CEO Victorian Aboriginal Child Care Agency). 12pm (for 12:30pm start). The Co-op Bookshop, Baillieu Library, Melbourne University. Entry free.
