Blue Mountains film premiere & eyewitness report: Indigenous people challenge NT intervention. The NT intervention – launched by John Howard and extended by the federal Labor government – has meant total disempowerment of Indigenous people. It has taken back rights won over the past 50 years. The Alyawarr people are fighting back. They have established a protest camp. This film chronicles this important struggle and the solidarity it is receiving from trade union and other activists. Will Williams and Jess Moore, just returned from the NT “justice tour”, will report back on the NT Indigenous rights convergence in Alice Springs and the Ampilatwatja protest camp.
2.30pm Saturday, July 24 Family Hotel bistro, 15 Parke St., Katoomba
