This submission presents the results of a research project conducted by the Tangentyere Research Hub over the last five months – from March to July 2008.  Thirty nine residents of the town camps of Alice Springs have been interviewed regarding their experiences and opinions of the changes introduced by the NTER.  The changes have been broken down into five domains that have had the most impact in Alice Springs – income management; alcohol consumption; changes in the behaviour of the Police, health checks and the placement of signs banning alcohol consumption and pornography on town camps.  Tangentyere Council hopes that the results of this project contribute towards positive changes in the implementation of the NTER.
