The Northern Territory National Emergency Response (also referred to as "the intervention") was a package of changes to welfare provision, law enforcement, land tenure and other measures, introduced by the Australian federal government under John Howard in 2007 to address allegations of rampant child sexual abuse and neglect in Northern Territory Aboriginal communities. Operation Outreach, the intervention's main logistical operation conducted by a force of 600 soldiers and detachments from the ADF (including NORFORCE) concluded on 21 October 2008. In the seven years since the initiation of the Emergency Response there has not been one prosecution for child abuse come from the exercise.
The package was the Federal government's response to the Territory government's publication of Little Children are Sacred, but implemented only two out of ninety-seven of the report's recommendations. The response has been criticised, but also received bipartisan parliamentary support. The then Prime Minister Julia Gillard has and continues to support the response, though her predecessor (and successor) Kevin Rudd did make some adjustments to its implementation. The Emergency Response has since been replaced by the very similar Stronger Futures Policy.

The Australian and Northern Territory governments are working with Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory to build stronger futures.
A decade ago - a national emergency response saw the federal government seize control of Aboriginal lands and many lives were heavily regulated without consultation. 10 years on, the government has admitted the tough regime was flawed. NITV's Political Correspondent Nakari Thorpe reports and NITV's Allan Clarke spoke to Amelia Kunoth Monks who was just a 14-years-old when the Northern Territory Intervention was rolled out. 10 years on and remote Aboriginal communities across the Northern Territory are still dealing with the fall out and Amelia says her people have become powerless.

The Northern Territory Intervention is the subject of as much debate today as it was three and a half years ago when the 'emergency reform package' was introduced. As the Intervention continues, it's time to take stock and search for a just response to the complex problems it sought to address. In November 2010 the Whitlam Institute published Dr Mary Edmunds' essay The Northern Territory Intervention and Human Rights: An Anthropological Perspective. Prompted by the very warm reception this paper received, the Institute, together with the Human Rights Council of Australia, convened this special public forum hosted by Minter Ellison on May 17, 2011.

If I could breathe
The whole world is out
And they want to get me to bleed
And these stolen seconds
They were never mine
So if you believe
That somehow you killed your dream
Just listen close to mine
Wait, this whole intervention is mine
I'm failing to mention
Tame
We'll start the crossing with the simple lines
Wake up on the other side of
Sane
Still held in place, they blame the simple lines
Wake up to the dreams that we have made
The dreams that we have made
See, if we let them take what was ours to conceive
Then these circumstances, they will never die
So if you believe the world has killed your dreams
Then take your turn to shine
Indeed, the brilliant invention is mine
I have their attention
Tame
We'll start the crossing with the simple lines
Wake up on the other side of
Sane
Still held in place, they blame the simple lines
Wake up to the dreams that we have made
The dreams that we have made
(The dreams that we have made)
Wait
This whole intervention is mine
I'm failing to mention
Today
Though the world had cemented its heart
It's starting to break
Tame
We'll start the crossing with the simple lines
Wake up on the other side of
Sane
Still held in place, they blame the simple lines
Wake up to the dreams that we have...
Tame
We'll start the crossing with the simple lines
Wake up on the other side of
Sane
Still held in place, they blame the simple lines
Wake up to the dreams that we have made
The dreams that we have made
