LISTENup! is a coalition of concerned organisations and individuals seeking a better response to Aboriginal and Islander disadvantage; a response based on listening to Aboriginal and Islander voices, communities and services. You can support the campaign by adding your voice and signing the pledge.

The passing of the Howard Government’s Northern Territory Emergency Intervention Bills
demonstrates that there is a crisis in Aboriginal and Islander policy formation and implementation. The bills roll back Aboriginal and Islander self-determination, land rights and the Racial Discrimination Act. They enact a national policy framework that works against Aboriginal and Islander children, families and communities. There is no evidence base for these actions.
