Answer preview

he Northern Territory Intervention was established with an aim of protecting children from sexual abuse after a report by the Akelyrenemane Meke Mekarle “Little Children are scared “in 2006.  Nonetheless, the NT government did not provide a quick response; hence, the intervention (Everingham, 2017). However, the impacts of the intervention were mostly negative rather than positive considering that most people have indicated that the intervention consequences have resulted to repercussions that will affect many generations to come (Altman, 2007).  Moreover, it was stated that the Intervention was one of the worst regulations imposed on the Aboriginal individuals.
