The Mabo ruling of 1992 was historic in recognizing for the first time that Australia was not terra nullius at the time of colonization. However, the judgment also found that in many places the Indigenous title had been sub- sequently “extinguished” by the colonizers’ use and ownership of the land. 5.

In marked contrast, the film of the same name in which the song fea- tured, set on an unnamed Caribbean island, attracted strong protests for its scenes of interracial romance “although the actors were not allowed to engage in any displays of physical affection on the screen.” Of the film’s two interracial couples, one (Belafonte and Joan Fontaine) are forced to renounce each other at the end, while the second couple must leave the island “so they can be married off camera in England.” Renee Romano, 172 Notes Race Mixing: Black-White Marriage in Postwar America (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2003), 166. 9.

  • Independents in Federal Parliament: a New Challenge Or a Passing Phase?
    Independents in Federal Parliament: A new challenge or a passing phase? Jennifer Curtin1 Politics Program, School of Political and Social Inquiry Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. [email protected] “Politics just is the game played out by rival parties, and anyone who tries to play politics in some way entirely independent of parties consigns herself to irrelevance.” (Brennan, 1996: xv). The total dominance of Australia’s rival parties has altered since Brennan made this statement. By the time of the 2001 federal election, 29 registered political parties contested seats and while only the three traditional parties secured representation in the House of Representatives (Liberals, Nationals and Labor) three independents were also elected. So could we argue that the “game” has changed? While it is true that government in Australia, both federally and in the states and territories, almost always alternates between the Labor Party and the Liberal Party (the latter more often than not in coalition with the National Party), independent members have been a feature of the parliaments for many years, particularly at the state level (Costar and Curtin, 2004; Moon,1995). Over the last decade or so independents have often been key political players: for a time, they have held the balance of power in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory. More generally, since 1980 an unprecedented 56 independents have served in Australian parliaments. In 2003, 25 of them were still there. This is more than six times the number of independents elected in the 1970s. New South Wales has been the most productive jurisdiction during that time, with fourteen independent members, and Tasmania the least, with only one.

  • PAT HOFFIE: Skatebowl in a Gallery, Ipswich Essay by Julianne Schultz
    PAT HOFFIE: Skatebowl in a Gallery, Ipswich essay by Julianne Schultz MONA – the Museum of Old and New Art – is a glamorous curiosity box on the banks of the Derwent River at Glenorchy in working class Hobart. In just a few years it has been the catalyst of and economic and social transformation – crystallising the cultural essence of early twenty-first century Tasmania, and changing notions of productive work. In the process it has put the state on the global tourism agenda, providing opportunities for artists, craftspeople, performers and thinkers to find like minded souls and develop new businesses and to stretch the horizons and possibilities for countless others. Similar interventions are occurring around the world, as artists, entrepreneurs, local administrators and communities stretch the boundaries of engagement, creativity and art. Skatebowl in a Gallery, Ipswich is the most recent move into this space by the important Brisbane artist, Pat Hoffie. That this work, titled Immaterial Labour: Skatebowl Prounspace has found a home at the Ipswich Art Gallery is itself important – it is the juxtapostion of works like this in unexpected places, and with people who may not routinely visit a gallery, that adds to their power and impact. MONA is a great example. It is itself arguably as much a work of art – of genius – as some of the works assembled in its subterranean galleries and inspiring spaces. It is a product of vision and skill of one man, David Walsh, executed with unstinting precision using the proceeds of a form of work (gambling), which is more often thought of as play.

  • The Public Humanities
    The Public Humanities 10-11-12 November 2016 Hosted by the ARC Centre for the History of Emotions, the ACHRC, and Flinders University in Adelaide, South Australia The ACHRC conference on the Public Humanities focuses on a core aspect of humanities research that is particularly germane to research centres in universities and collecting institutions: the integral role of engagement with publics. This is really how the impact of our sector needs to be understood: in the long and dynamic threads of dialogue between researchers and publics on issues such as justice, creativity, decolonization, and heritage. The capacity of the humanities to deal with qualitative emotion as well as the quantitative facts of history and culture is crucial here. Any understanding of a cultures past, present, and future requires an articulation of feelings as well as of facts. Our aim is to bring together speakers with practical experience of programs that work so that our discussions are grounded in the pragmatics of public humanities. In Australia and New Zealand, government-led discussions of innovation and impact are mired in metrics that traduce the real public values of the sciences almost as completely as they ignore the HASS disciplines as a whole. We know about public value – its impact over time and in the lives of individuals – so this conference will be an opportunity build our case as a sector. Keynotes from: Professor Julianne Schulz, ‘Culture in the Age of Innovation’ Professor Thomas Dixon, ‘Unfriending and Weeping in Public’ 1 PROGRAMME Thursday

  • 'Not One Pound of Wheat Will Go': Words and Actions
    8. ‘Not one pound of wheat will go’: Words and actions The Holstein Express was crewed by Indonesian seamen, but it sailed under a Liberian flag.1 Its Australian agents, Dalgety and Patricks, had been charged with the shipment of 600 dairy cows to Chile. In the week of 4 December 1978, the ship attempted to dock in Newcastle to load but was black banned by Australian workers. Union members would not assist with loading the cargoes. They simply refused. After discussion between the workers’ representatives and the agents, it was agreed that the ship could anchor outside the harbour in Stockton Bight and receive water and stores.2 It remained off Newcastle for two weeks.3 In stop-work meetings on 19 December 1978, the Sydney, Port Kembla, Port Adelaide and Victorian branches of the SUA all passed motions of support for the actions of their Newcastle branch.4 And shortly thereafter a white flag was raised by the owners in the form of a communiqué shown to the maritime unions that the ship would depart for New Zealand without cattle if it was able to refuel. The maritime unions allowed the ship to dock and refuel and it set off on 22 December 1978, apparently without cows and apparently for New Zealand. The company was in the middle of a goosestep that spanned the State. The next day, Don Henderson, secretary of the Firemen and Deckhands’ Union, was urgently advised that the ship was in fact at the southern NSW town of Eden loading hay and cattle.5 The union delegate at Eden was contacted and subsequently the local fishermen who had been hired to load the cattle stopped work.6 The ship’s crew and the vendors were forced to load the cattle themselves and the vessel departed for New Zealand on Sunday, 24 December 1978.

  • JOURNAL of the ROYAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY of QUEENSLAND The
    JOURNAL of the ROYAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF QUEENSLAND Volume XIII, No. 8 November 1988 The Clem Lack Oration The Dawn of the Satellite Era in Australia by Cameron Hazlehurst Presented 24 March, 1988 With few exceptions, the coming of domestic satelhtes to Austraha has not yet engaged the attention of historians. The story began little more than a decade ago and it still unfolds as a significant issue in the political life of both the Commonwealth and the states. But where the phenomenon is so recent, the sources remain restricted, the actors are mostly reticent about their roles, and the historical profession is confronted by subjects of intimidating technical complexity, it is scarcely surprising that we await anything more than tantalisingly short narratives and manifestly tendentious ideological critiques. For anyone dependent, as most citizens are, on tabloid newspapers, popular magazines, and commercial television newscasts, the coming of the AUSSAT satellites may have seemed like a simple and heroic tale of technological progress and Dr Hazlehurst is a Fellow in History in the Research School of Social Sciences, Australian National University. He previously held senior public service posts and his books include Menzies Observed (1979) and Gordon Chalk (1987). 270 entrepreneurial inhiative. From this point of view, the inevitable progress would have been swifter, if governments had had the wisdom and discretion to keep their own interference to the absolute minimum. The popular media — self interested in this matter as its proprietors were — gave some glimpses of dissent and debate but characteristicahy left the ordinary person unenlightened about events and issues which were the subject of intense speculation, controversy, and contumely.

  • Sydney Is Singularly Fortunate in That, Unlike Other Australian Cities, Its Newspaper History Has Been Well Documented
    Two hundred years of Sydney newspapers: A SHORT HISTORY By Victor Isaacs and Rod Kirkpatrick 1 This booklet, Two Hundreds Years of Sydney Newspapers: A Short History, has been produced to mark the bicentenary of publication of the first Australian newspaper, the Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser, on 5 March 1803 and to provide a souvenir for those attending the Australian Newspaper Press Bicentenary Symposium at the State Library of New South Wales, Sydney, on 1 March 2003. The Australian Newspaper History Group convened the symposium and records it gratitude to the following sponsors: • John Fairfax Holdings Ltd, publisher of Australia’s oldest newspaper, the Sydney Morning Herald • Paper World Pty Ltd, of Melbourne, suppliers of original newspapers from the past • RMIT University’s School of Applied Communication, Melbourne • The Printing Industries Association of Australia • The Graphic Arts Merchants Association of Australia • Rural Press Ltd, the major publisher of regional newspapers throughout Australia • The State Library of New South Wales Printed in February 2003 by Rural Press Ltd, North Richmond, New South Wales, with the assistance of the Printing Industries Association of Australia. 2 Introduction Sydney is singularly fortunate in that, unlike other Australian cities, its newspaper history has been well documented. Hence, most of this short history of Sydney’s newspapers is derived from secondary sources, not from original research. Through the comprehensive listing of relevant books at the end of this booklet, grateful acknowledgement is made to the writers, and especially to Robin Walker, Gavin Souter and Bridget Griffen-Foley whose work has been used extensively.
