The Prime minister, Julia Gillard, probably recieves quite a lot of mail every day, but on her desk recently was a significant letter signed by 24 prominent South Australians. They wrote to the Prime Minister to ask her to put a stop to the Northern Territory Intervention. The Federal Government is currently holding talks with people in remote central Australian communities about the impact and future of the Intervention. Signatories to the letter include Robyn Layton QC, Dorinda Hafner, Christobel Mattingly, Lowitja O’Donahue and Dr. Lynn Arnold, CEO of Anglicare. Tim Brunero spoke to Dr. Arnold and he asked him why the letter was sent now.
