Reviewing the Northern Territory intervention one year on: Conceptual 
and methodological considerations and some observations

Professor Jon Altman
Director,  Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research (CAEPR)

*Abstract:* The NTER intervention is to be reviewed one year on, as 
promised by the ALP in the lead up to the election. According to the 
original terms of the emergency intervention, the one year anniversary 
also marks the end of the proposed 'stabilisation' phase (although all 
intervention measures have not yet reached all prescribed communities) 
and the point of transition to the 'normalisation' phase.
This seminar explores the terms of reference for the independent review 
of the NTER and some of the challenges that it might face in conducting 
an evidence-based and constructive inquiry on this highly politicised 
issue in a review-cluttered environment. Some perspectives are provided 
on the possible approaches that might be taken to rigorously assess the 
efficacy of the intervention and to provide diverse community voices 
some central focus in the review process.

*When? *Wednesdays 12.30 to 2.00pm, unless otherwise noted.
*Where? *Humanities Conference Room, First Floor, A.D. Hope Bldg #14 
(opposite Chifley Library),
The Australian National University, Canberra.
