An ongoing Australian shame caused by all political flavours -

"Let me review. In 2007, the ABC broadcast fraudulent claims of paedophile rings in Aboriginal communities in the NT. These claims were used to support the launch of an inquiry into child sexual abuse, and later to justify the Intervention itself. These claims were false.

The inquiry into child sexual abuse in Aboriginal communities was used to justify the Intervention. There was no connection between the recommendations in the report, and the Intervention. These claims were false.

The Intervention under Labor was supposedly supported by Aboriginal communities, who wanted it to be extended for 10 years under the Stronger Futures legislation. These claims were false.

The Intervention was supposed to redress socio-economic disadvantage of Aboriginal communities in the NT, along with issues such as sexual assault, alcohol abuse, and so on. There is no evidence it achieved these goals, and even the government rarely makes this case anymore. In 2011, the Australian Indigenous Doctors’ Association and the Centre for Health Equity Training, Research and Evaluation released a Health Impact Assessment of the Northern Territory Emergency Response. It found that “The ways in which the NTER [the Intervention]was introduced and is being implemented are likely to contribute to the high burden of trauma and disease already carried by Aboriginal people across generations.” It warned that the government “overlooked the centrality of human dignity to health… It is predicted that it will leave a negative legacy on the psychological and social wellbeing, on the spirituality and cultural integrity of the prescribed communities… it is essential to find ways to work together as equals.” " New Matilda
