The NTER intervention is to be reviewed one year on, as promised by the ALP in the lead up to the election. According to the original terms of the emergency intervention, the one year anniversary also marks the end of the proposed 'stabilisation' phase (although all intervention measures have not yet reached all prescribed communities) and the point of transition to the 'normalisation' phase.

This seminar explores the terms of reference for the independent review of the NTER and some of the challenges that it might face in conducting an evidence-based and constructive inquiry on this highly politicised issue in a review-cluttered environment. Some perspectives are provided on the possible approaches that might be taken to rigorously assess the efficacy of the intervention and to provide diverse community voices some central focus in the review process.
