The Referendum Council has just wrapped up a three day forum at Ross River near Alice Springs - the latest in a series of consultations being held across Australia. The weekend's gathering was particularly important because it provided the council with an opportunity to further hear first-hand from Indigenous Territorians who were directly affected by the Intervention. Many people in the Northern Territory want the constitution changed specifically so such sweeping legislative change can never again be made by the Commonwealth without the consent of Aboriginal people.
