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).

There was no shelter, no running water, no electricity - very oppressive conditions.
