Mandatory Sentencing: When you are in a hole… keep digging

Representatives from NAAJA appeared before the inquiry of the Senate Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs on 1 May 2013 into the value of a justice reinvestment approach to criminal justice in Australia. NAAJA used the opportunity to highlight the crisis in the NT criminal justice system.

NAAJA is contracted by the Commonwealth Attorney General’s Department (AGD) to provide Criminal and Civil Law services to Aboriginal people and their families in the Northern Territory.
