NT government accused of 'politicising tragedy' with child protection laws

Northern Territory Aboriginal groups and opposition lawmakers accused the government Wednesday of politicizing a child's death to push controversial child protection law changes. The amendments would override the Aboriginal Child Placement Principle, making it easier to place Indigenous children with non-Indigenous carers. Critics say the rushed legislation represents a "race-based attempt" to blame Aboriginal families for systemic government failures.
