"The main purpose of this paper is to examine the central arguments advanced by these two sides of the debate and the implications for public policy decision making and Indigenous people, within the context of the Northern Territory of Australia. As a result, substantial recourse will be made in this paper to the recent work and policy proposals of Beadman (2009; 2010) and to the views of Altman (2007). In addition, the paper points to the urgent need for a major overhaul of the manner in which services are delivered by public and private sector organisations to Indigenous communities in Australia." - Introduction,
