Judges on Country
Alice Springs / Mparntwe
This is the public local-context route for the Oonchiumpa postcards. Start with the people leading the work, keep postcode 0870 in view, and use the links below to move from one story in Alice Springs to the local systems picture and then back into your own community.
What Oonchiumpa proves locally
Oonchiumpa is an Aboriginal community-controlled organisation working across 7 language groups within 150km of Mparntwe. The strongest public story stack in JusticeHub is simple: diversion works better, school re-engagement is possible, and community-led responses cost far less than detention.
This is why Kristy Bloomfield, Tanya Turner, Jackquann, Nigel, Laquisha, Fred, and Xavier belong on the cards before any abstract policy language does.
What postcode 0870 shows
$3.1B tracked into postcode 0870 across 806 mapped entities and 1,985 funding relationships.
227 mapped entities are community-controlled, but only 65.8% of traced funding is flowing to community-controlled organisations.
GrantScope also holds a verified Oonchiumpa line item: $1,400,000 for NIAA Central Australia Youth Safety in 2023-24.
Where To Go Next
Use this route stack deliberately.
Each page does a different job. The profile holds the service frame. The story holds the voices. The site page holds country. The search route turns Alice Springs into a question for every other local area.

Open routePass it on like a campaign, not a souvenir.
The point of the postcard is not to remember the visit politely. It is to move one more person into contact with what community-led practice in Alice Springs actually looks like, and then force the question back onto their own jurisdiction.
Take it back to chambers
Use the judges field guide after the trip. Search the live alternatives, hold onto the local proof, and keep the Alice Springs lesson in the room when your own matters are being heard.
