Gadigal.1 I acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, on whose lands I am meeting with you this evening and acknowledge their elders past, present and emerging. 2. The title of this lecture, Aboriginal Australians and the Common Law is ambitious in its potential breadth and depth. My aim in this lecture is to provide an historical exposition of what has occurred in the common law to date. Indeed, as Governor of New South Wales, it is not appropriate to do more. It has certainly been challenging but at the same time, rewarding. 3. The rightful place of Aboriginal Australians in this country is a topic in which all Australians are, or are becoming, increasingly invested. 2 However, relationship without understanding and investment without knowledge has a hollow ring. Indeed 4 decades after the end of World War II, the President of the Federal Republic of Germany said: ‘Anyone who closes his eyes to the past is blind to the present. Whoever refuses to remember the inhumanity is prone to the risks of re-infection.’3 *The Honourable Margaret Beazley AC QC is 39th Governor of New South Wales, commencing her term on 2 May 2019.

    Mabo1 Has Been Acclaimed As a Triumph of Remembering.2 the Case

    Macquarie Law Journal (2006) Vol 6 25 HOW MABO HELPS US FORGET ALEXANDER REILLY I INTRODUCTION Mabo1 has been acclaimed as a triumph of remembering.2 The case acknowledged a shift in Australian history in the 1970s and 1980s towards a greater recognition of the violence of British colonisation and the extent of Aboriginal dispossession from land. It recognised for the first time a legal basis for Indigenous claims to land based on traditional associations with ‘country’3, and it established a central role for history in the determination of native title rights. The case has led to a new level of engagement between academics from the disciplines of Law and History, and new interdisciplinary work on the relationship between law and history.4 Before Mabo, the most direct overlap between Law and History in Australia was through the work of legal history scholars, predominantly legal academics who use legal documents from the past to understand society and its law, and to provide a particular historical context for analysing current developments in the law. Although legal history is drawn upon occasionally by the courts to add to their Senior Lecturer in Law, Macquarie University. Earlier drafts of this article benefited from the generous comments of Lawrence McNamara, Katherine Biber, Andrew Buck, the anonymous referees of the Macquarie Law Journal, and the careful editorial work of the student editor, Shireen Daft. My sincere thanks to Ann Curthoys, Ann Genovese and Larissa Behrendt for the opportunity to collaborate with them on their Australian Research Council funded project on the role of history in Indigenous Rights litigation.

    Justice at the Edge: Hearing the Sound of Silence

    Kim Economides*, Aaron Timoshanko** and Leslie S Ferraz*** JUSTICE AT THE EDGE: HEARING THE SOUND OF SILENCE ABSTRACT This article examines a novel emerging trend in the access to justice movement. This latest trend is best seen as a counter-wave — or rip current — that seeks to incorporate knowledge and experience found at the periphery of the legal system in order to advance the theory and practice that underpins access to justice. Drawing on recent legal develop- ments pioneered in Aotearoa/New Zealand that grant personhood status to natural objects, we report on the Maori world view that treats natural objects in much the same way as respected family members. This new perspective is indicative of the counter-wave in action and illustrates how legal principles derived from the periphery — in this case rooted in the First Law of the Maori people — are being recognised and incorporated into the mainstream legal system, holding the potential to advance access to justice for First Nations peoples whilst also bringing other benefits to the wider society.

    United Nations A/63/489 General Assembly Distr.: General 16 October 2008 Original: English Sixty-third session Agenda item 105 (k) and (l) Appointments to fill vacancies in subsidiary organs and other appointments: appointment of the judges of the United Nations Dispute Tribunal; appointment of the judges of the United Nations Appeals Tribunal Report of the Internal Justice Council I. Introduction 1. By its resolutions 61/261 and 62/228, the General Assembly approved the framework for a new system for the internal administration of justice within the United Nations to be introduced as of 1 January 2009. As part of that framework it established the Internal Justice Council to help ensure independence, professionalism and accountability in the new system. In paragraph 37 (b) of its resolution 62/228 the Assembly requires the Council, as one of its primary tasks, to “provide its views and recommendations to the General Assembly on two or three candidates for each vacancy in the United Nations Dispute Tribunal and the United Nations Appeals Tribunal, with due regard to geographical distribution”. 2. The Internal Justice Council derives from a recommendation by the expert Redesign Panel, established by the General Assembly in its resolution 59/283,1 which proposed an entirely new system for the internal administration of justice, in which professional judges would issue binding tribunal decisions in a first-instance United Nations Dispute Tribunal (unlike previous peer review bodies that only had the power to make non-binding recommendations). An appeal would lie to a newly established United Nations Appeals Tribunal, comprising seven highly experienced judges.

    Passages in the Law Brian Tamberlin, QC Deputy President Administrative Appeals Tribunal Talk at the office of Carroll and O’Dea 12 February 2013 1 Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. One bonus of being asked to speak today was the opportunity to get better acquainted with the history of the firm through the prism of your centenary publication “The Vision Splendid”. It sets out the history and culture of the firm over most of the last one hundred and fifteen years of it’s existence. Many of the anecdotes resonate with my fond recollections of the personalities referred to such as Clive Evatt, Frank McAlary, Barry Mahoney, Ray Loveday and Paul Flannery. Over the past fifty years inevitably I have come across many members of the firm. My most continuous acquaintance has been with Michael O’Dea whom I first met in 1965 and who in 1968 succeeded me as an alderman of North Sydney Council of which he later became Lord Mayor. I admire the culture and vision of the firm and its engagement with the community especially through its extensive pro-bono program. Not the least of its achievements is keeping its name and identity, as well is its strongly personal culture in the present environment of law firm mergers, which, by change of name and often of culture, tend to become anonymous commercial entities abandoning a valuable part of their identity and esteem. The name Carroll and O’Dea has a personal ring rather than those global operations with names such as Linklaters, Ashurst or Quality Solicitors.

    780 UNSW Law Journal Volume 28(3) CONTRACT, OPPRESSION AND AGREEMENTS WITH INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAVID A WISHART∗ I PREFACE ‘The road to hell is paved with good intentions.’ This cliché has an obvious and depressing application to the relations between Indigenous peoples and settler communities. There are many examples, from George Augustus Robinson’s well-meaning attempts in the early part of the 19th century to ‘protect’ the Aborigines of Tasmania, now viewed by many as the crucial act of genocide, to perhaps even the Canadian Indian Act itself, which creates a cultural dependency now too pervasive to repeal. Perhaps the best example is the Maori (or Native) Land Court, set up by the Native Land Court Act 1880 (NZ) in New Zealand. In the first half of the 19th century, Maori had remarkable economic success.1 Common property was put to productive use by strong, centrally controlled firms in the form of family units. Competitive processes, even if violent, were well understood. External pressures were able to be resisted yet the challenges of radical technological change could be met. However, none of this withstood the lack of recognition of tribal land ownership in 19th century British law. In the middle of that century agricultural developments required the raising of large amounts of capital but this was rendered inaccessible to the Maori because security could not be given over the land: the Maori held land through layered ∗ Senior lecturer, La Trobe University, Australia.

    1 JUDGE WILLIS, BONJON and the RECOGNITION of ABORIGINAL LAW. Janine Rizzetti Introduction the Case of R V Bonjon Could Have

    JUDGE WILLIS, BONJON AND THE RECOGNITION OF ABORIGINAL LAW. Janine Rizzetti Introduction The case of R v Bonjon could have been one of the foundational cases in Indigenous legal autonomy. It touched on all the big early 19th century legal questions regarding Indigenous Australians: the legal status of British settlement, whether Aborigines could be said to have their own law, and whether British law applied in crimes committed between Aboriginal people themselves. It could, too, have been the most significant case in the career of Mr Justice John Walpole Willis. But it was to be neither a foundational case, nor a career highlight. Instead, if R v Bonjon is known at all, it exists as an aberration, quickly over-ruled at the time, and often referred to in passing or even consigned to a footnote in later discussions of the amenability of Indigenous Australians to British law. The case was heard in September 1841 before Willis in his capacity as the first resident Supreme Court judge for the district of Port Phillip, known as Victoria since 1851. Willis, who is best known for his irascibility and subsequent dismissal from office was perceived, both at the time and later, to be no particular friend to Aboriginal people. Yet in Bonjon Willis expressed an argument that was to have resonances in the Mabo decision and Paul Keating’s Redfern Address- both in 1992. In a departure from the judgment given by others in The Crown v Murrell five years earlier, Willis argued that the Supreme Court had no jurisdiction over crimes committed by Aborigines against one another.
  • European Responses to Indigenous Violence in the Tasman World, C.1769-1850S

    European Responses to Indigenous Violence in the Tasman World, C.1769-1850S

    ‘Of Red War and Little Else’: European Responses to Indigenous Violence in the Tasman World, c.1769-1850s Samuel Gordon Gardiner Ritchie A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Victoria University of Wellington 2013 ii iii For my Michelle and our Matilda Dylan arohanui, arohamai iv Abstract Europeans responded to indigenous internecine violence in a variety of ways in the Tasman world from first contact to the middle of the nineteenth cen- tury. Whereas extant historiography has previously addressed European responses to Māori and Aboriginal violence in geographic and temporal iso- lation, a comparison spanning time and space augments knowledge of these responses. Violence was not the only aspect of indigenous societies Europe- ans responded to, nor was indigenous violence the only justification for colonisation. However an investigation of the ways in which Europeans rep- resented and responded to indigenous violence enables a better understand- ing of the processes of the colonisation of the Tasman world. Indigenous internecine violence included cannibalism, infanticide, inter- gender violence, and inter-tribal warfare. Through a wide variety of Euro- pean observations of this violence, this thesis identifies an initial conceptu- alisation of both New Zealand Māori and Aboriginal peoples of Australia as violent, cannibal ‘savages’. This conceptualisation was used to justify both colonisation and the related evangelical and colonial administrative attempts to suppress indigenous violence, as internecine violence was deemed ‘un- civilised’, unchristian, and unacceptable. Europeans attempted to suppress indigenous violence as it was seen both as an impediment to colonisation and, relatedly, as an inhibitor to the ‘redemption’ of indigenous peoples.
