No More Humbug (reducing financial abuse)
No More Humbug was a project run by the Kimberley Community Legal Service located in the Kimerley region of Western Australia. It’s core goal was to reduce Aboriginal financial Elder abuse in the Kimberley. Along with a report, the project produced a number of resources, including posters, animations and a practical training manual. While the project was specific to the Kimberley, WA area the resources may be transferrable to other communities in remote regions.
