Summary
The Northern Territory governments response to Kumanjayi Little Babys death is under fire, with critics pointing out the lack of Aboriginal input in the inquiry and cuts to child protection officers. This approach mirrors the failed Northern Territory intervention from nearly two decades ago, which harmed Aboriginal children. Community-controlled services have proven effective, yet when non-Aboriginal bureaucrats run them, they often fall short. The impact on Aboriginal children is devastating, with increased issues like being in out-of-home care, suicide, and detention. Experts call for a shift towards sustained investment in early family support, developed in full partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, to change trajectories for children and families.
