"I am one of the best resources Gov can use to help give critical info to communities & get feedback in my Electorate. The people know me, & I know the people very well - this is why they voted for me because they have real trust in me. If the Gov want to genuinely be part of ‘community led’ responses, start by working with myself and other leaders." #Yingiya

Open Letter to the Northern Territory Government

Yingiya Mark Guyula MLA Djirrikaymirr

Member for Nhulunbuy, NT Legislative Assembly

RE: Genuine outcomes for Yolngu communities

1 June 2017

http://tasmaniantimes.com/index.php?/pr-article/open-letter-to-the-northern-territory-government/

"The NT Government is now providing an emergency response to Volatile Substance Abuse in many communities in Arnhem Land.

I know that sniffing is an act of self-harm or self-medication.

It follows the breakdown of Yolngu culture – balanda culture coming over the top of Yolngu culture – imposing and assimilating.

Leaders in many Arnhem Land communities have been grappling with this issue for some time,

but we have not had any resources to solve this problem.

Power, authority and resources to solve this problem

need to be given to the Yolngu communities and Yolngu authorities.

"I come from Arnhem Land, I am a Yolngu Leader and I am the elected representative for Nhulunbuy

and yet the Government are not providing information or consulting with me in a meaningful way,

so that I can empower Yolngu communities with information. I have asked the Minister for Health: ...

"I want to see happy, healthy children living in communities.

I know the way to achieve this is to allow the Yolngu elders to solve the problems.

We are sovereign people and we have a right to determine our future.

I want Governments of all levels to act with diplomacy.

Come and find the authorities, go camp to camp, and engage in diplomatic discussions with other nations. ...

"10 years since the Federal Government Intervention and everyone needs to remember that we experience the failings of that invasion every day. ... "
