Questions without Notice: Closing the Gap (4 Sep 2025)

“I'm sure the Seed Mob president will forward you a T-shirt of your own. Minister, First Nations kids are being tortured in prisons right now using spit hoods or spit guards. You could use your powers to overturn dangerous laws and ban torture devices from being used on our kids. Is maintaining the illusion of cooperating with states and territories worth the continued abuse of Aboriginal children?”

Questions without Notice: Closing the Gap (4 Sep 2025)

“The NT has the second highest incarceration rate in the world and is 90 per cent First Peoples. While police can kill us and walk free, you have the power to overturn any law in the Northern Territory, as the federal government has done before. Will you commit to using your federal powers now to stand up for our people against the racist CLP government?”
