The CFMEU extends solidarity to the people of Ampilatwatja, north-east of Alice Springs, who have walked off their community and set up a protest camp in protest at the NT intervention and its failure to provide housing or services. We endorse their demands and pledge a donation of $1000 towards maintaining the protest camp.’ A Trade Union Workers Brigade has been established to assist local community members at the Ampilatwatja walk off camp in constructing much needed shelter and housing. Over two years on, the Intervention has failed to deliver one house for Aboriginal people in the NT. This project will see the the union movement, in partnership with the Aboriginal rights movement, deliver a house before the Government’s $672 million Strategic Indigenous Housing Implementation Program. This house has been dubbed the ‘protest house’. The ‘protest house’ project will be launched in Alice Springs on February 13 next year: the two-year anniversary of Rudd’s apology to the Stolen Generations and a National Day of Action against the NT Intervention.
