CFMEU work with Indigenous Australians in the Northern Territory

I had a very interesting experience up in the Northern Territory, situated 350 kilometres North-East of Alice Springs in the Ampilatwajta Lands (Alywarr People). I was in the desert - hot, dusty country, flies everywhere and trees sparsely scattered around the landscape, making living standards probably less than third world. There was no shelter, no running water, no electricity - very oppressive conditions.
