Dropping the baby: birth control is being taken to extreme lengths in a remote NT community, claim anxious locals

Article Abstract:

Locals in Ngukurr, located 600km south-east of Darwin claim that Aboriginal women and school going girls were subjected to birth control procedures, against their will or without the consent of their guardians, which is a very extreme step. A legal team is helping the Aboriginal women who were sterilized against their will, approximately twenty years ago and a possible case to establish a type of assault may be formed in the case of girls who had to face pregnancy screenings in school.

Catch cry

Article Abstract:

Rivers and beaches across the north, east and south of Australia are being closed to commercial fishing, and declared amateur-only areas, especially in the Northern Territory. Professional fishermen are blamed and made to bear the costs of the destruction of fish stocks by recreational fishermen who escape penalization due to political clout.
