Female Alice Springs 21 yrs Occupation/Involvements: TANGENTYERE COUNCIL – casual youth worker, OXFAM AUSTRALIA – Straight Talk participant In my previous position as Field Worker at Waltja Tjutangku Palyapayi it was part of my job role to advocate for the traditional owners of different remote Central Australian regions, some of these were difficult to perform due to the fact they conflicted with my employer’s policies and procedures. This is the reason I want to know more about the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Main Concerns: The Northern Territory Intervention; racism; drug & alcohol abuse; domestic violence
