Top Territory Teachers of NT, Reader's Comment 69 of 81, Spear threat to NT teacher, Nigel Adlam, NT News, 24 January 2012: http://www.ntnews.com.au/article/2012/01/24/285031_ntnews.html Historical link preserved from the original page.
Ex Northern Territory teacher: Stephen Ferguson is right. There is a problem in NT schools. Teachers are being bullied and traumatised by their experiences.
As another Northern Territory remote teacher (ex) I can vouch for teacher Stephen Ferguson 's statement (above).
It happens time and time again.
The only difference is this man stood up for his rights.
When it happened to me I was so bullied and traumatised by the Northern Territory ED Dept that I am no longer able to work as a teacher.
Years after the events I still am suffering from PTSD.
All I did was try to teach Indigenous kids, who loved coming to my class.

Why do the Northern Territory government allow remote NT teachers to be bashed and abused?
Why oh why do the Northern Territory and Australian Labor government allow this sort of thing to keep on happening? Historical link preserved from the original page.
Teachers who are willing to work in the remote community schools should be applauded, not abused.
Hundreds of remote NT teachers have been abused in this way.
And, after reporting it to the NT Ed Dept, they are "got rid of" no more contracts no more work.
The Education Department in the NT seems to be the most incompetent in Australia.
No wonder the education of NT children is 'at risk
