Suzi Quixley has worked in the Human Services industry for 30+ years.  On her website Suzi has compiled a range of responses to the Federal Takeover of Indigenous Communities and other relevant papers.

You can access Suzi's list at http://www.suziqconsulting.com.au/invasion_of_aboriginal_communities.htm.  The articles which Suzi has listed that are not included in YANQ's own collection of responses, are listed below (with Suzi's own words).

• Comparative Child Abuse Statistics - Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities (6 July 2007) - Of course, all child abuse is horrific and should be addressed ... regardless of statistical frequency.  However, these 2 ABC briefs put the issue of child abuse in Indigenous communities into perspective.  Academics argue that a genuine concern with reducing child abuse in Australia would focus on suburbs in mainstream Australian cities, where rates are 5 times those in remote Indigenous communities overall (data based on Commonwealth Government statistics).
• Law Council letter to Prime Minister (4 July 2007) - detailed legal and social commentary... very useful for the academics amongst us!!!
• Mutitjulu Media Statement (27 June 2007) - this statement by leaders of the community is very different to the media portrayal of the Mutitjulu community's response to Mal Brough's visit in early July!!!  I particularly noted the fact that the permit system has been used by community members to exclude paedophiles from the community (a protection the government proposes to stop) ... and the HUGE reduction in health/welfare/education services in the community since the Commonwealth took control over the community approximately 12 months ago!!!
• And ... on the importance of separating the issue of child abuse from the land grab:
• Letter from Pat O'Shane to Kevin Rudd (24 June 2007) - clear articulation of the arguments for Labor to take a less supportive stance toward the government's reactions in general.  She particularly talks about the Commonwealth's possible motive for taking away land title ... their plans for uranium related industries in the NT.
• Statement by Ric Norton (Laynhapuy Homelands Association, Nhulunbuy), including the fact that the amendments to the Aboriginal Land Rights (NT) Act to allow township leasing were introduced to Parliament on 24 May 2007 ... over a month before they received the Little Children are Sacred report ... and the government will be using mining royalties held in trust for Indigenous people to pay for the Office which will manage the leases for the next 5 years .  (There's also a copy of the proposed bill, and Mal Brough's explanation ... both in very bureaucratic language.)
• Statement by Rarriwuy Marika (literacy worker, traditional owner, concerned mother and grandmother from Yirrkala Community) petitioning the government to separate land rights and child protection.
• Patrick Dodson (Chair, Lingiari Foundation) had an article published in The Age, looking in more detail at the land-related implications of the government strategy - http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2007/07/13/1183833765256.html?page=fullpage#contentSwap2.
• The Australian Medical Association's website includes some great little publications about success stories in Indigenous health (including strategies to address the needs of children and overcoming violence) ... 15 very readable case studies from throughout Australia, produced by 2 NGO's.
