The proposed Strong Futures Bill/extension of the N T Intervention for a further 10 years has been described by Bishop Christopher Saunders of Broome as a Travesty. The government must consult with Aboriginal Communities before making decisions. In a bid to prevent this Bill, the Aboriginal Catholic Mission has joined the Sisters of St Joseph, the Australian Catholic Social Justice Council, the Order of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart (OLSH) and the National Aboriginal Torres Strait Islands Catholic Council (NATSICC) in a submission to the United Nations.
