Tony Abbott can see the writing on the wall, and it spells disaster for the safety and development of Aboriginal communities of the NT;

BARRIE CASSIDY: The Government wants to reinstate the Racial Discrimination Act clearly. Now once they do that, it's true isn't it that they will have to allow people to opt out of the compulsory income management scheme, otherwise it would contravene the act? That's the scheme that quarantines part of their welfare for essentials.

TONY ABBOTT: Well certainly they'll have human rights lawyers crawling all over the intervention and I don't think that's going to be very productive for anyone except the human rights lawyers.

I fear Barrie that having seen the introduction of Whitlamism in economic policy, we're now going to see the introduction of Whitlamism in Indigenous policy and that's the last thing that we need.

I fear that the left of the Labor Party has always hated the intervention, only ever supported it through gritted teeth and now we're going to see a concerted attempt to roll it back. 

Of course the introduction of "Human Rights" will mean the reestablishment of those factors that have led to the denigration of Aboriginal society over the years, Alcohol and Porn.
