She's been in Hobart Magistrates Court fighting trespass charges.  Ms Langford was attending an anti-logging protest at Snow Hill, in Tasmania's northern midlands when she was arrested.

She talked about the case which has been adjourned to September.  

Mparntwe (Alice Springs) Town Camps are often the focus of mainstream media when things go wrong.  CAAMA Radio has embarked on a project across Mparntwe's fifteen (15) Town Camps, handing residents the microphone to share their stories, memories and experiences in their own words.

Other stories in the Weekly News In Review include:

The Tax Ombudsman, Ruth Owen, says she's reviewing the ATO prompted by concerns raised by First Nations organisations and taxpayers; and

CIAF artist director, Teho Ropeyarn talks about FNQ's biggest arts and culture fair.
