PARTIES involved in a legal challenge against key elements of the
Federal Government's Northern Territory intervention appeared at the
High Court today.

Lawyers have filed a statement of claim on behalf of the Bawinanga
Aboriginal Corporation (BAC) and Reggie Wurrdjal, a traditional owner
in Maningrida.

Maningrida is one of 73 remote NT communities the commonwealth took
over under five-year leases as part of the government's radical plan
to stamp out child abuse.

Almost 90 per cent of the prison population in the Northern Territory during 2005/06 was Aboriginal, up seven per cent on the previous year, according to an Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) report released.

Aboriginals make up 27.8 per cent of the territory's population, according to the 2006 Census.

During the 2005/06 period, the report said only 252 of the 2,496 people behind bars were non-indigenous and 202 juveniles in prison were Aboriginal compared to 36 non-Aboriginal.

The report, titled Regional Statistics, Northern Territory, 2007, also showed 94.1 per cent of protective custodies during 2005/6 were for Aboriginal offenders.

An Aboriginal community in Arnhem Land is taking legal action in the High Court to challenge the Federal Government's intervention in the Northern Territory.

Residents in and around Maningrida want to overturn Commonwealth laws that compulsorily acquire the community township for five years and abolish the land permit system.

If successful, the case would set a precedent for other affected communities.
