Notes:	Discusses an interview with Pam Greer published in the Clearinghouse Issues Paper number 5 Discusses the importance of the terminology used to address incidents of violence and abuse when Aboriginal people are involved. In particular, the Indigenous community in the Northern Territory prefer the term family violence to label the behaviours defined as domestic violence, since it also affects family and community members. Accordingly, culturally-based solutions are favoured over non-Aboriginal strategies. This response implies that the incident is not hidden; violence is disclosed and exposed within the community.
