ALICE SPRINGS, AUSTRALIA - JULY 06: Aboriginal children play on a swing set as Indigenous Affairs Minister Mal Brough meets with the Mutitjulu community elders July 6, 2007 in Mutitjulu, near Alice Springs, Australia. Aboriginal communities across the Northern Territory will fall under the Federal Government's new intervention plans, after the 'Little Children are Sacred' report which claimed child abuse in Aboriginal communites was widespread.
