A VETERAN television journalist and Aboriginal rights advocate has slammed the Federal Government’s Northern Territory intervention and labelled it “as sad as the Stolen Generations policy”.

Mr McMullen said Aboriginal communities needed to be empowered instead of having old policies inflicted on them....
