Summary: Four years on since the government’s Intervention in the Northern Territory, the issue is still a contentious one. Rarely do we have the opportunity to hear directly from someone living in those communities. A born and bred Territorian, Rosalie Kunoth-Monks is an Arrente/Amatjere woman from Utopia who lived on the station until she was nine. At 15 Rosalie was chosen by director Charles Chauvel to play the lead role in Australia’s first feature-length colour film, Jedda. Recently Rosalie returned to Utopia Station, where she now lives. In this instalment of PodRights, Rosalie talks about the impact the Intervention is having on communities throughout the Northern Territory.
