The Wire

The Little Children Are Sacred report came out in the middle of this year. It was a comprehensive look at many of the issues affecting indigenous children in remote communities, but it will be remembered for just one – child abuse. The report was seized by the Coalition and used as the rationale for intervening into Northern Territory indigenous affairs and changing them forever – Rex Wild QC was co-author of the report and he says while he wanted it to get some attention , he never expected it to be used in the way it was.
