This book tells the story of how governments, their advisers and Indigenous people themselves believed they could minimise such harms by changing the way people drank: how they tried to ‘civilise’ the drinking act itself. In a sense, this endeavour started in 1789 when Governor Arthur Phillip first taught the captured Aboriginal man Bennelong to raise his wine glass in a toast; however, it was two centuries before the notion found its way into policy in the form of government-endorsed liquor outlets serving Indigenous people in or near remote communities. In the 1970s and 1980s, canteens and clubs were licensed to serve rations of beer in remote Indigenous communities, and government agencies made it possible for Indigenous organisations to purchase public hotels whose sales were affecting their communities. These two approaches to the distribution of alcohol were originally driven by the belief that drinking on regulated premises over which Indigenous people had some control would help to inculcate moderate drinking patterns, and help to prevent damaging binge drinking and sly grog sales. This idea, that people would be able to ‘learn to drink’ in a conducive setting, forms a narrative thread throughout this book. Both of these somewhat controversial approaches (having drinking clubs and purchasing hotels) attempted to manage Indigenous drinking by making the sale of alcohol a social enterprise that drew in community members as participants, and ostensibly benefited them by allowing them to share in the income generated by alcohol sales. The idea that these outlets could help to cultivate moderate ‘civilised’ drinking patterns while simultaneously making a profit created a number of moral and social dilemmas and unforeseen outcomes that also form a major theme for the book. Indigenous social clubs and hotels were social enterprises xv TEACHING 'PROPER' DRINKING? insofar as they were (and are) run (or at least advised) by community- based organisations with participatory governance structures that gave voice to community stakeholders. Perhaps most importantly, as quasi- social enterprises, these projects were intended to benefit their owners by reinvesting profits

Tuesday, January 25, 2005 She's successful, she has a great career, she reads Not The West Evelyn is a physiotherapist in a sports injury centre and reads Not The West every day. "I have just come back from working in London for three years and I can remember what Not The West was like when I left. Boy, what a non-event. It looks more like an international newspaper now, though without any international content. Reminds me of The Guardian. They are both printed on paper. I suppose Not The West is intellectually a bit more upmarket than it used to be (page three is particularly challenging and I just love the Today section) but it is easy to read (not too many big words) and relaxing (doesn't make you think). I've noticed a more positive news presentation, (take the editorials for example) the reporting is more authoritative (they NEVER seem to admit they don't know; I just LOVE authority) and there is not as much 'fence sitting' these days. It used to be so conservative! I have never thought of Not The West like this before but I don't know, this strange feeling has come over me. It's 30 minutes of the day I always look forward to, in fact it's become the most important 30 minutes of my day. Who needs exercise? By the way, you should see their fantastic web site!"

Contents Executive Summary 3 Involvement in Decision Making 11 Maintenance of Cultural and Intellectual Property Rights 20 Education, Training, Employment & Opportunities for 26 Economic Independence Indigenous Health Needs 40 Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Youth 52 Mainland Torres Strait Islander Issues 69 The Role of Other Agencies & Spheres of Government 75 ATSIC Programs & Services 110 Statistical Overview 189 Acronyms & Abbreviations 204 References & Bibliography 207 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The role of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission was established in 1990 to be the main Commonwealth agency in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander affairs. Our Act gives us a variety of functions including the responsibility to: • develop policy proposals to meet national, State, Territory and regional needs and priorities, • advise the Minister on legislation, and coordination of activities of other Commonwealth bodies, • protect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural material and information, and • formulate and implement programs. In exercising these responsibilities ATSIC has given Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islanders a stronger political voice. On the one hand, the most prominent Indigenous agency, ATSIC is often blamed for the fact that our people remain gravely disadvantaged. On the other hand it is not widely understood that ATSIC’s budget is meant to supplement the funding provided by the Government to other Commonwealth, State, Territory and Local Government agencies.

  • The Pictured Child in Victorian Philanthropy 1869-1908 Heather
    The pictured child in Victorian philanthropy 1869-1908 HeatherParis April 2001 Submitted for the award of PhD Awarding body: University of Central Lancashire Total numberof volumes:2 Volume I of 2 Abstract This study sets out to investigate the nature of the Victorian child's standing in society using pictorial means. It takes the view that the picture, or visual image, has something important to tell us about attitudes towards childhood, and how children were regarded as a group, between 1869 and 1908. As a piece of scholarship, it is situated between the disciplines of art history and social history. Little work has been done on the child's visual representation, and its contribution to the historical record. The rich visual material that forms part of the archive of Victorian philanthropy in general, and temperance in particular, remains largely untapped. The study is a response to this scholarly neglect, with the uses made by charity of the pictured child forming its central site of inquiry. Philanthropic images of childhood will be set in their pictorial context by reference to their appearance in other parts of the public domain. The history of the relationship between adults and children has been called `age relations' by one historian. This study will apply general and specific practical approaches, drawn from critical visual techniques, to age relations, leading to an interpretation of how Victorian childhood was pictured for its audiences. Images will be approached as pictorial puzzles, and priority will be given to those solutions which formed part of the historical record. The main analytical tool to be usedis adoptedfrom critical theory's notion of the metapicture.

  • Building an Implementation Framework for Agreements with Aboriginal Landowners: a Case Study of the Granites Mine
    Building an Implementation Framework for Agreements with Aboriginal Landowners: A Case Study of The Granites Mine Rodger Donald Barnes BSc (Geol, Geog) Hons James Cook University A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2013 School of Architecture Abstract This thesis addresses the important issue of implementation of agreements between Aboriginal people and mining companies. The primary aim is to contribute to developing a framework for considering implementation of agreements by examining how outcomes vary according to the processes and techniques of implementation. The research explores some of the key factors affecting the outcomes of agreements through a single case study of The Granites Agreement between Newmont Mining Corporation and traditional Aboriginal landowners made under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act (NT) 1976. This is a fine-grained longitudinal study of the origins and operation of the mining agreement over a 28-year period from its inception in 1983 to 2011. A study of such depth and scope of a single mining agreement between Aboriginal people and miners has not previously been undertaken. The history of The Granites from the first European contact with Aboriginal people is compiled, which sets the study of the Agreement in the context of the continued adaption by Warlpiri people to European colonisation. The examination of the origins and negotiations of the Agreement demonstrates the way very disparate interests between Aboriginal people, government and the mining company were reconciled. A range of political agendas intersected in the course of making the Agreement which created an extremely complex and challenging environment not only for negotiations but also for managing the Agreement once it was signed.
