Abstract
In 2007, concerns about the exposure of Indigenous
children to pornography and links between the use
of pornography and sexual abuse of children led the
Northern Territory Attorney-General to approach the
Northern Territory Department of Justice (NT Justice)
about developing a media classification awareness
and education campaign for Indigenous
communities. NT Justice undertook a series of
consultations, particularly with Indigenous men,
across the Northern Territory. These consultations
provided input into the messages to be delivered
through the campaign, the appropriate target
audiences, critical success factors, risks and
sensitivities, and the development of a
communications strategy.
