Instead, it is placed on a restricted card or account that can only be used to buy essential items like food, clothing, medicine, and housing.\n- This measure formed part of the Northern Territory Emergency Response (\"the Intervention\"), a suite of policies applying to specific remote Indigenous communities.\n\n**Who is affected:**\nResidents of Laramba/Napperby who receive social security benefits during the period this determination was in force."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/social-security-administration-declared-relevant-northern-territory-area-laramba-determination-2008","history":"/api/acts/social-security-administration-declared-relevant-northern-territory-area-laramba-determination-2008/history","analysis":"/api/acts/social-security-administration-declared-relevant-northern-territory-area-laramba-determination-2008/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/social-security-administration-declared-relevant-northern-territory-area-laramba-determination-2008/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/social-security-administration-declared-relevant-northern-territory-area-laramba-determination-2008/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/social-security-administration-declared-relevant-northern-territory-area-laramba-determination-2008/documents"}}
