So how did things get to this point? voice-verified

When the CLP came to power just over two years ago, what kind of relationship did the government already have with Aboriginal organisations, leaders and independent bodies in the territory? voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

So Leo Fanoggiaro won the election promising to go much harder on crime. voice-verified

They introduced tougher new laws and as a result incarcerations increase. voice-verified

More indigenous youth are locked up and they're put in watch houses. voice-verified

Tell me about some of the laws and their impact, Declan. voice-verified

And as these taffon crime measures have been rolled out, what are the Aboriginal organisations working in the justice system telling the government? voice-verified

Coming up. voice-verified

The law change advocates say could lead to another stolen generation. voice-verified

Declan, the breakdown hasn't just been confined to justice policy. voice-verified

Earlier this year, a crisis in the territory's child protection system opened up after the death of five year old come and dry a little baby. voice-verified

And the government moved to overhaul the system. voice-verified

Can you take us through what happened and what the government started to roll out in terms of its reforms to the child protection system? voice-verified

And I guess at the heart of the concern is that the government changed child protection laws in a way critics say weakened the requirement to prioritize Aboriginal family, kin and community. voice-verified

And the fear from their perspective is that this could lead to another stolen generation. voice-verified

There was another flash point earlier this year, not to do with policy, but with the appointment of David Connolly as the Integ's administrator. voice-verified

Why did his appointment cause so much anger amongst some people? voice-verified

So where do you see things going from here, Declan? voice-verified

There seems to have been a a complete breakdown between a lot of Aboriginal organizations and the governments itself. voice-verified
