COLLECTION OVERVIEW

Scope and content note The records were deposited by Colonel John Moloney sometime after the closure of the Aboriginal Embassy at the end of August 1977. Both the Aboriginal Embassy and the National Aboriginal Advisory Committee (NACC) secretariat operated out of 26 Mugga Way, Red Hill. The archives include records of both organisations. There are a few administrative records of the Embassy, 1976-1977, and a series of records of NACC conference, council and regional meetings 1973-1974, together with a complete set of rolls of NACC electors in 1973. 4

There is a file of Aboriginal Black Theatre (Redfern) papers, including a script, draft program and other production materials for The Cakeman by Robert J. Merritt (1975). The bulk of the records are, however, information resource documents and printed material, some of which originated from the Senate Select Committee on Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders. It is not clear whether this resource material belonged to the Embassy or the NACC.

NOTE ON ADMINISTRATIVE HISTORY

After the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in front of Parliament House was dismantled in February 1975, an Aboriginal Embassy was re-established by the National Aboriginal Consultative Committee (NACC) at 26 Mugga Way, Red Hill, Canberra. The house at 26 Mugga Way was the residence of retired army Colonel John Moloney, a supporter of the rights of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders. An arrangement was reached between Colonel Moloney and the National Congress of Aboriginal People and Torres Strait Islanders for half of his house to be used by the Aboriginal Embassy for one year from April 1976. The house was well situated for the purpose as there were half a dozen other embassies in Mugga Way at the time. It was a former residence of the Anglican Bishops of Canberra and Goulburn. The Aboriginal flag was raised at the Aboriginal Embassy opening ceremony on 10 April 1976. The aim of the Aboriginal Embassy was “to establish an independent platform from which we, the Aboriginal and Islander people can speak on issues that affect our lives…” (untitled statement, 5 May 1976, MS 4013/1/2/2). On behalf of the Aboriginal Embassy Keith Smith reported that the Embassy was being established because “our people need an independent platform from which we can speak of our problems and needs. For too long our people and ‘Aboriginal affairs’ have been a vote-catching issue, a political football used in campaign speeches and election policies, but never looked at as a human story, as the suffering and oppression of a race of people” (‘Black Embassy’, Woroni, 28:6, May 1976, p.5). The Aboriginal Embassy was also used to house the Secretariat of the National Aboriginal Consultative Committee (NACC). The NACC was established in November 1973, under charter from the Federal Government, following nation-wide elections among Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders – the first such Aboriginal organisation. It had an advisory role only and was subjected to continuous political and bureaucratic interference and review. In 1977 it was succeeded by the National Aboriginal Conference. Despite its short life the NACC was important for Aboriginal self-determination. Delephene Fraser (Indigenous advisor at Department of Veteran Affairs) said that, “We learnt how to negotiate, debate and work with government….We also learnt that the government can shut 6

things down if government is not happy with its running or administrational processes.” ( www.CreativeSpirits.info. Aboriginal culture - Self-determination - Aboriginal representative bodies, retrieved 21 October 2016.) In 1975 and 1976 the NACC was seeking wider policy making powers and the ability to raise funds. In order to do so, the Committee reconstituted itself as the National Congress of Aboriginal People and Torres Strait Islanders (also known as the National Aboriginal Congress), and set up an incorporated body, the National Aboriginal Congress Administrative Association, but the Federal Government did not formally recognize the reconstituted bodies. The informal Embassy executive members were: Ray Nagas (Aboriginal Embassy and NACC Secretary), Keith Saunders (NACC Vice President) and Keith Smith (NACC senior member). Other participants in the operation of the Embassy were: Lester and Jerry Bostock, Barry Hall, Eddie Neumann, John Angus King, Allan Murray, Eric and Geraldine Koorliah, Michael Anderson, David Anderson and Billy Harrison. (Rough notes on discussion re: Role of Embassy and its functions and aims, 19 Apr 1976, MS 4013/1/2/1). In 1977 difficulties arose which prevented extension of the arrangement between Colonel Moloney and the National Aboriginal Congress. Bruce Juddery pointed out that a complicating factor was the failure of the Government to summon a meeting of the NACC for more than a year, thus blocking the opportunity for the NACC to consider renewing or revising the arrangements it had with Colonel Moloney over the use of his house (Canberra Times, 15 Apr 1977). Ray Nagas withdrew the NACC Secretariat from the Embassy on 8 June 1977. An option for the NACC to buy the building failed and the Embassy was formally closed on 31 August 1977. The Embassy was re-established for a short period in August 1979 as the "National Aboriginal Government" on Capital Hill, the site of the proposed new Parliament House. In January 1982 the Tent Embassy was permanently established on the lawns of Parliament House.
