Fifty delegates from the Queer Collaborations student conference, held in Hobart from July 9 to 13, rallied on July 12 in solidarity with Northern Territory Indigenous communities that are being invaded by federal police. The conference voted to support the Indigenous community in the NT against the Howard government's interference. The rally then marched to Liberal Senator Eric Abetz's office to hand him the statement written by the elders of the Mutitjulu people, which asked for community assistance but not police intervention.
