Title: Watch this space: the new National Congress for Australia's First Peoples
Author(s): Cavanagh, Edward
Abstract: Purportedly external to party politics and the public sector alike, a sparkly new organisation has emerged which vows to represent the interests of Indigenous Australians and offer new directions in policy. Responding, no doubt, to the endemic lack of consultation and a series of federal and state stalemates regarding the design and implementation of policies affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, the National Congress of Australia's First Peoples (NCAFP) has arisen.
