Bruce has just reported that the ABC has called him for a 'soundbite' after receiving the press release! "I mentioned how tourists sometimes have habits, which we don't condone, like taking towels from motel rooms and they need to be aware of the mandatory sentencing laws in the NT which could land them in jail. Also mentioned that there was a perception abroad that the Northern Territory had contempt for Aboriginal people and that this legislation was aimed at them. Should make the radio news tomorrow. Not on the 5pm news today (Wednesday). The "First Resort Jail Package" form of words seems to be catching on." Thanks to all who have written to the NTTC so far! If you haven't yet, please take a minute for even a short note - every bit helps! The immediate aim is to make this a part of the by-elections in the NT and to give it a public face. In the longer term it will probably expand and I will keep you informed about that and what you can do to help.
