It has been revealed in an estimates hearing that 100% of the children in detention in the Northern Territory are Indigenous.
“The royal commission provided evidence that the ways that the Balanda [white] system treats Aboriginal children is inhumane, costly and does not work," said the member for Nhulunbuy, Yingiya Mark Guyula in a statement to the committee.
Dale Wakefield, Northern Territory’s family minister, told the committee it is an area that they are going to need to continue to develop.
