From 1st-14th February unionists from the CFMEU, MUA, LHMU and Unions NT joined with residents from Ampilatwatja - an Aboriginal community 'prescribed' under the NT Intervention - and built a house to allow the community to sustain their walk-off in protest to the Intervention.

Speakers include:
Paul McAleer - MUA
