Book "This Is What We Said"
Book Launch: "This Is What We Said"
Below you will find an invitation to the launch of a book "This Is What We Said'. The book puts on record some views about the NT Intervention that were expressed by Aboriginal people during the NTER consultations between June and August last year. We feel that it is very important that these views are heard.. It is our belief that Government failed to listen to what was said by Aboriginal people and this is now evident by the legislation that is currently before Parliament.
We realise that not everybody will be able to attend a launch and so we have attached an order form if you wish to purchase a book. However there are a number of launches and events planned during the first two weeks of February and I will provide you with details below.
If you are able to assist in distributing information about the book we would be very grateful. It is a hard cover book and costs $15. We are still calling for donations to cover the cost of printing and there will be absolutely no profit from book sales. We will be providing free copies to the communities that participated.
Please do come to a launch if you are able.
