  • Full Thesis Draft No Pics
    A whole new world: Global revolution and Australian social movements in the long Sixties Jon Piccini BA Honours (1st Class) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2013 School of History, Philosophy, Religion & Classics Abstract This thesis explores Australian social movements during the long Sixties through a transnational prism, identifying how the flow of people and ideas across borders was central to the growth and development of diverse campaigns for political change. By making use of a variety of sources—from archives and government reports to newspapers, interviews and memoirs—it identifies a broadening of the radical imagination within movements seeking rights for Indigenous Australians, the lifting of censorship, women’s liberation, the ending of the war in Vietnam and many others. It locates early global influences, such as the Chinese Revolution and increasing consciousness of anti-racist struggles in South Africa and the American South, and the ways in which ideas from these and other overseas sources became central to the practice of Australian social movements. This was a process aided by activists’ travel. Accordingly, this study analyses the diverse motives and experiences of Australian activists who visited revolutionary hotspots from China and Vietnam to Czechoslovakia, Algeria, France and the United States: to protest, to experience or to bring back lessons. While these overseas exploits, breathlessly recounted in articles, interviews and books, were transformative for some, they also exposed the limits of what a transnational politics could achieve in a local setting. Australia also became a destination for the period’s radical activists, provoking equally divisive responses.

  • The Value of Inclusion
    The value of inclusion Lesson plan description Australia is populated by a diverse range of people with varied backgrounds and understandings. In order for people to get along in a multicultural society, they may share values including a belief in equality, freedom and respect for one another. Understanding, tolerance and inclusion are also important. Students will explore some of these values through examining and thinking about examples of inclusion, exclusion and segregation in their own lives and in the broader community. Students will play a game and view a film clip on racial segregation in Australia in the 1950s. Students will research the Australian Freedom Rides and reflect on changing attitudes. Students will consider values they admire in another Australian and how they could enact these in their own life. Year levels Middle Childhood (8–11 years) Duration Approximately 50 minutes Note: research will incur additional time. Explicit values focus • Care and Compassion • Doing Your Best • Fair Go • Freedom • Respect • Responsibility • Understanding, Tolerance and Inclusion Key Learning Areas • Studies of Society and Environment • English • Technology Lesson plan Getting started Activity 1: Class game NOTE: the following game needs to be handled sensitively as children who have experienced exclusion in their lives may find it frustrating. Play a familiar class game, modified with ‘new’ rules so that one group of students has additional restrictions imposed upon them. For example, play ‘tips’, but those ‘in’ must tip the other person on both shoulders and both elbows before they can be in. After a couple of minutes of playing, seat the students and ask for their comments on the new game.

In the world today, Australia is a dynamic business and trade partner and a respected global citizen. We value the contribution of new migrants to our country’s constant growth and renewal. Australia today The land Australia is unique in many ways. Of the world’s seven continents, Australia is the only one to be occupied by a single nation. We have the lowest population density in the world, with only two people per square kilometre. Australia is one of the world’s oldest land masses. It is the sixth largest country in the world. It is also the driest inhabited continent, so in most parts of Australia water is a very precious resource. Much of the land has poor soil, with only 6 per cent suitable for agriculture. The dry inland areas are called ‘the Australia is one of the world’s oldest land masses. outback’. There is great respect for people who live and work in these remote and harsh environments. Many of It is the sixth largest country in the world. them have become part of Australian folklore. Because Australia is such a large country, the climate varies in different parts of the continent. There are tropical regions in the north of Australia and deserts in the centre. Further south, the temperatures can change from cool winters with mountain snow, to heatwaves in summer. In addition to the six states and two mainland territories, the Australian Government also administers, as territories, Ashmore and Cartier Islands, Christmas Island, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Jervis Bay Territory, the Coral Sea Islands, Heard Island and McDonald Islands in the Australian Antarctic Territory, and Norfolk Island.

  • Taking up Space, Taking Our Place
    The Eddie Koiki Mabo Lecture 2015 Taking up space, taking our place Leeanne Enoch MP Let me begin of course by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we gather this evening and in doing so let me acknowledge the more that 3000 generations of the Bindal and the Wulgurukaba Peoples who have maintained cultural practices on this land. And can I thank Aunty Gracelyn Smallwood for her warm welcome to country. It is this way of beginning that provides us with a strong base from which to share our stories with open hearts and strong spirits. Let me also take this opportunity to acknowledge all our elders, from which ever culture you belong, those that have passed and those still with us leading us into the future. Can I also take a moment to acknowledge a few special guests: My parliamentary colleague, Aaron Harper, the Member for Thuringowa And can I pay my respects to the Mabo family, and in particular Gail Mabo, daughter of Eddie Koiki Mabo. And finally can I thank James Cook University for the invitation to address you this evening. My name is Leeanne Enoch. I am a Nunukul-Nughi woman of the Quandamooka nation which takes in the waters and islands of Moreton Bay. For those who know the area which is just off the coast of Brisbane, I’m originally from North Stradbroke Island or as we refer to it – Minjeeribah. I also have ancestral ties into the far north of Queensland as my grandmother was a Kanju woman. Ladies and Gentlemen, there was a state election earlier this year – not sure if you noticed.
