Today’s Guest: Chris Walsh & John Lawrence

What’s going wrong with Aboriginal Legal Aid in the Northern Territory?

In this Next Gen North episode, we sit down with Chris Walsh, editor of NT Independent, and John Lawrence SC, one of Darwin’s top barristers, to unpack the controversies surrounding the North Australian Aboriginal Justice Agency (NAAJA).

We’re not holding back. From NAAJA’s origins to its current controversies, we examine the funding mysteries, governance failures, and the impact on NT’s most vulnerable communities.

Who’s responsible? How do we fix it? This is a conversation every Territorian needs to hear.

Don’t miss this raw, real, and deeply important discussion.
