Abstract
On 23 July the Howard Government announced its twelfth intervention under its national emergency measures: the abolition of the Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) scheme in the Northern Territory. Presently, the scheme has an estimated 7,500 participants (according to official figures). This ranks in my mind as the single most destructive decision in Indigenous affairs policy that I have witnessed in 30 years of research and involvement in Aboriginal communities, alongside the decision to abolish ATSIC in 2004.
