An apology to Aboriginal Territorians

I, Michael Murphy, Commissioner of the Northern Territory Police am deeply sorry to all Aboriginal Territorians, for the past harms and injustices caused by members of the Northern Territory Police.

I formally apologise for the hurt inflicted upon Aboriginal people, and together with my fellow officers, I commit the NT Police service to do the hard work to transform our relationship with Aboriginal Territorians for a safer community for all.

We know that we cannot change or undo the past, but together we can commit to not repeating our mistakes and the injustices.

About

The small community of Imanpa was originally established on a 1628 hectare excision from Mt. Ebenezer station in 1978.

The purpose was to relocate a drinker’s camp from the Mt. Ebenezer Roadhouse and establish a centre for displaced stockmen from several pastoral properties in that region. 

Hiking, camping and 4WD driving are enjoyed around the area, there are some beautiful hidden places to explore.

Education

Imanpa School caters to primary and middle school years. Imanpa community and secondary education is delivered in the community by a teacher from Ngangatjatjara College, Yulara.
