snapmedia.nt on Instagram: "The NT Government’s proposed child protection laws are being slammed by Aboriginal organisations, legal services and frontline work…" The NT Government’s proposed child protection laws are being slammed by Aboriginal organisations, legal services and frontline workers as some of the most regressive reforms seen in years.The changes would make it easier to remove children based on a “risk” of harm, weaken protections keeping Aboriginal children connected to kin and culture, and fast-track permanent removals if families can’t reunify quickly enough.All while families fleeing domestic violence are sitting on housing waitlists that can stretch up to 10 years.Experts say you cannot “reunify” families without houses, rehabilitation services, mental health support or properly funded kinship care. You cannot punish families out of poverty.The NT already removes Aboriginal children at some of the highest rates in the country. Almost 90% of children in out-of-home care are Aboriginal, yet only a tiny number are placed with kin. And while Victoria is now repealing similar permanency laws after finding they harmed families, the NT Government is trying to introduce them. Children need homes, healing, culture and community — not another generation traumatised by systems that confuse surveillance with support.It’s been tough for mob particularly in the last few weeks, our DMs are open or if you need some professional help give 13YARN a call.
