Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territory is built on Larrakia country. When it comes to elections in the Northern Territory, winning the hearts and minds of residents in the northern suburbs is critical. Election campaigns based on the issue of land rights, and hence race, played a significant role in keeping the Country Liberal Party (CLP) in government for 23 years. Notably, the 1983 election was fought almost exclusively on the issue of the return of Uluru to the Mutitjulu Land Trust (Gibbins 1988: 41). More recent elections have focused on Indigenous law and order and the detrimental impact of native title claims on the Northern Territory economy (Newman 1997). In its first term of government the Martin Labor (ALP) government had usefully engaged with Indigenous groups, the Larrakia Nation in particular, to address the issue of Indigenous itinerants in town through the ‘Community Harmony’ project. However, like the CLP government before it, which had strenuously opposed the Larrakia land claim to the Cox Peninsula, the Martin government was at the same time vigorously opposing the Larrakia Native Title claim over the city of Darwin, generating portrayals of Larrakia as a people who had ‘lost their culture’. Fearful of not being re-elected for a second term, the ALP went into the 2005 election with an aggressive platform to address anti-social behaviour, a policy clearly aimed at the Northern Territory’s homeless Indigenous residents. In urban centers of the Northern Territory such people are often referred to as ‘long grass people’ or simply ‘long grassers’. The similarities between the ALP campaign and previous CLP campaigns were not lost on many. In April 2006 Justice Mansfield of the Federal Court dismissed the long running Darwin native title claim. In attempting to find a continuing tradition of law and custom that would allow recognition of native title, Mansfield J stated:
