Aboriginal Cultural Benefits and Threats Sea countries of New South Wales: a benefits and threats analysis of Aboriginal people’s connections with the marine estate Sue Feary with contributions from Susan Donaldson September 2015 Final Report to NSW Marine Estate Management Authority © NSW Marine Estate Management Authority Image on front cover: Aborigines spearing fish, others diving for crayfish, a party seated beside a fire cooking fish, Port Jackson. Watercolour, Joseph Lycett (1775-1828). Authorship: The bulk of the report has been prepared by Dr Sue Feary, independent heritage consultant (Aboriginal archaeology), previously NSW protected area manager, including marine parks. Substantial sections of Chapter 2 were researched and written by consultant anthropologist, Susan Dale Donaldson, who has worked with south coast Aboriginal communities for many years. Feary and Donaldson are currently working on an oral history project with Aboriginal knowledge-holders, to identify values and threats to Aboriginal connections within Batemans Marine Park. They have previously prepared a background report documenting these connections. Acknowledgements: Thanks go to Sarah Fairfull for her professional support, direction and advice in managing the project, and to other DPI Fisheries staff - Lesley Diver and Natalie Gollan; Joe Neilson for GIS support, Matt Carr, Justin Gilligan and Graham Bowley for information and advice. Drafts of the report were restructured and sections of the report were substantially rewritten in response to comments from MEMA agency staff and members of the Marine Estate Expert Knowledge Panel. Peer reviewer Associate Professor Stephan Schnierer is thanked for his constructive and useful comments on the draft report.

  • Ruby Langford Ginibi: Bundjalung Historian, Writer and Educator
    Ruby Langford Ginibi: Bundjalung Historian, Writer and Educator Patricia Grimshaw School of Historical and Philosophical Studies University of Melbourne, Parkville, VIC. 3010 [email protected] Abstract: The chapter considers the leadership of Ruby Langford Ginibi, whose writings recorded the history of the Bundjalung people of the Northern Rivers Region of New South Wales. She became prominent in national debates on Indigenous issues from the publication in 1988 of her autobiography, Don’t Take Your Love to Town until her death in 2011. Langford Ginibi was an effective voice in the attempt to persuade non-Aboriginal Australians to acknowledge the oppressive character of settler colonialism and its outcome in negative aspects of many Indigenous Australians’ lives in contemporary Australia. Above all, she drove understanding of the precariousness Indigenous peoples’ livelihoods and the social wellbeing of their families when they left impoverished communities to seek waged work in far flung rural and in urban environments. Through her numerous publications, her research, public talks and interviews, Langford Ginibi made a major contribution to Australia that was recognized by numerous prestigious awards and an honorary doctorate. In 2012, a special issue of the Journal of the European Association of Studies on Australia commemorated her achievements. Key words: Aboriginal historians, Aboriginal writers, Indigenous rights, Bundjalung people, human rights, social justice In 1988 a Bundjalung woman, Ruby Langford (later Ruby Langford Ginibi), published her autobiography Don’t Take Your Love to Town to considerable applause, including the Australian Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission’s Award for Literature.1 Encouraged that she had an audience open to the story of the fraught life situations of Indigenous people, Langford Ginibi continued to produce works that informed non-Indigenous Australians about the past experiences of her people until shortly before her death in October 2011.

  • Some Emerging Issues in Relation to Claims to Land Under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 (Nsw)
    2011 Emerging Issues: Claims to Land under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 (NSW) 811 SOME EMERGING ISSUES IN RELATION TO CLAIMS TO LAND UNDER THE ABORIGINAL LAND RIGHTS ACT 1983 (NSW) JASON BEHRENDT ∗ I INTRODUCTION In 1983, the New South Wales Parliament passed the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 (NSW) (‘ ALRA ’). The necessity to provide Aboriginal people with economic independence as well as providing compensation for past injustice was at the forefront of the policy underlying the enactment of the ALRA . In his second reading speech, the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Frank Walker noted that the Keane Report 1 prepared by the Parliamentary Select Committee that preceded the ALRA had noted that Aboriginal people experienced ‘severe economic deprivations’ and that the Committee believed that ‘land rights could also, in our times, lay the basis for improving Aboriginal self-sufficiency and economic wellbeing’. 2 He stated that ‘[i]n this sense land rights has a dual purpose – cultural and economic. Some lands, with traditional significance to Aborigines, will retain a cultural and a spiritual significance. Other lands will be developed as commercial ventures designed to improve living standards’. 3 The legislative policy expressed in the ALRA to return land to the Aboriginal people as ‘a form of economic compensation’ was noted by Sheller J in Minister Administering the Crown Lands Act v New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council .4 For the last 25 years, the ALRA has operated with mixed success. Although Frank Walker anticipated a quick process for the resolution of claims, the process of determining claims and transferring the land has taken much longer.

  • 5 Lands Walk Aboriginal Committee
    5 Lands Walk Aboriginal Committee Phillip Bligh – Chairman ‘To feel happy about yourself, you must feel happy about the place you live in. To feel happy about the place you live in, you must get to know that place. To get to know that place, you must ask the people who have lived there the longest, the Aboriginal people. We have the key that can open the treasures of this land’ (Boori “Monty” Pryor Maybe Tomorrow) Phil Bligh was born in Bourke, a small town in the north- west of New South Wales. Both his parents were removed from their traditional lands as children and sent to Aboriginal missions in Queensland where they were taught Christian ideals and trained as domestic worker and stockman. His father a Kullilli/Wakka Wakka man and mother a Kalkadoon woman. Phil is a member of the Kullilli Bulloo River Native Title Aboriginal Corporation established in 2014 to facilitate native title rights and interests of the Kullilli community, Queensland. He acknowledges the NSW Central Coast as his home and is an active long-standing member of the Darkinjung Local Aboriginal Land Council. Prior to living on the Central Coast, Phil worked as a senior consultant with the NSW Department of Aboriginal Affairs and senior policy analyst with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) where he directed the Education Portfolio.
