CONGRATULATIONS ABORIGINAL MLAS
The Central Land Council says Aboriginal MLAs Barbara McCarthy, Alison Anderson and Karl Hampton have its full support.
CLC Director David Ross said he was heartened by their actions.
“I know it was personally extremely difficult for them and it was a courageous thing to do,” Mr Ross said.
“They have struck a blow for democracy and the rights of Aboriginal people and I am quite confident that Aboriginal people all over the Territory will be pleased to hear their elected representatives speak up for them.
“I congratulate them on behalf of all of the Central Land Council's members,” he said.
They were joined by Independents Lorraine Braham and Gerry Wood when they crossed the floor to vote against a Bill overriding a Supreme Court decision on the McArthur River Mine.
