  • Electoral Milestones for Indigenous Australians
    Electoral milestones for Indigenous Australians Updated: 8 April 2019 Electoral milestones for Indigenous Australians Date Milestone Time Aboriginal society was governed by customary lore before handed down by the creative ancestral beings. memory Captain Cook claimed the eastern half of the 1770 Australian continent for Great Britain. The first fleet arrives in Botany Bay, beginning the British colonisation of Australia. The British 1788 government did not recognise or acknowledge traditional Aboriginal ownership of the land. British sovereignty extended to cover the whole of Australia – everyone born in Australia, including 1829 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, became a British subject by birth. First parliamentary elections in Australia (for New South Wales Legislative Council) were held. The 1843 right to vote was limited to men with a freehold valued at £200 or a householder paying rent of £20 per year. The Australian colonies become self governing – all adult (21 years) male British subjects were entitled to vote in South Australia from 1856, in Victoria from 1850 + 1857, New South Wales from 1858, and Tasmania from 1896 including Indigenous people. Queensland gained self-government in 1859 and Western Australia in 1890, but these colonies denied Indigenous people the vote. Queensland Elections Act excluded all Indigenous 1885 people from voting. Western Australian law denied the vote to 1893 Indigenous people. All adult females in South Australia, including 1895 Indigenous females, won the right to vote. Commonwealth Constitution came into effect, giving the newly-created Commonwealth Parliament the authority to pass federal voting laws. Section 41 prohibited the Commonwealth Parliament from 1901 denying federal voting rights to any individual who, at the time of the Commonwealth Parliament’s first law on federal voting (passed the following year), was entitled to vote in a state election.

  • 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.

It is great of you to come along at such short notice; I think most of you were only advised of this yesterday. We decided it was important for local residents affected by the upgrade to Richardson Park to have an opportunity to talk to us. We will have a fairly informal approach to this afternoon; we want to listen to what you have to say. We can give a little feedback from what we have heard and have been able to glean from the documentation provided to the committee today. I ask that you be mindful of the fact this is a formal proceedings as a public hearing; it is being webcast through the Assembly’s website. A transcript will be made for use of the committee and may be put on the committee’s website. That is not to deter you from being frank and open, if that is what you want to be.
