I know Alice Springs and other areas are going through incredibly difficult times but this book is full of relevant questions it invites us to answer. Not for the now, but for the where we want to be. Law and order now is important for the safety and security of everyone. But we certainly need a next step. Craig Blanch - reader.

‘In the little world in which children have their existence’, says Pip in Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations, ‘there is nothing so finely perceived and finely felt, as injustice.’1 I expect Pip is right: he vividly recollects after his humiliating encounter with Estella the ‘capricious and violent coercion’ he suffered as a child at the hands of his own sister. But the strong perception of manifest injustice applies to adult human beings as well.
Sen, Amartya. The Idea of Justice
Justice is the first virtue of social institutions, as truth is of systems of thought. A theory however elegant and economical must be rejected or revised if it is untrue; likewise, laws and institutions no matter how efficient and well-arranged must be reformed or abolished if they are unjust.
John Rawls, A Theory of Justice
What is sustainable justice?
Sustainable Justice is justice that is directed at intra and intergenerational well-being and fairness.
