She served as Custodian and Executive member of the NSW Teachers Federation while remaining a classroom teacher. v Acknowledgements I approached researching and writing this booklet using a scientific method, try- ing to disprove an initial theory that, because profit driven corporations were becoming ever richer and more powerful, and had a terrible track record of tax avoidance, of environmental damage and of running roughshod over Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, they were likely to be up to no good in Abo- riginal communities. I failed in this endeavour. The facts supporting the original theory speak for themselves. Some of the evidence comes from those who stand against the narrative that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples themselves are responsible for the gap between their life expectancy, educational achievement, health and that of others on this continent.

  • Northern Territory Election 19 August 2020
    Barton Deakin Brief: Northern Territory Election 19 August 2020 Overview The Northern Territory election is scheduled to be held on Saturday 22 August 2020. This election will see the incumbent Labor Party Government led by Michael Gunner seeking to win a second term against the Country Liberal Party Opposition, which lost at the 2016 election. Nearly 40 per cent of Territorians have already cast their vote in pre-polling ahead of the ballot. The ABC’s election analyst Antony Green said that a swing of 3 per cent would deprive the Government of its majority. However, it is not possible to calculate how large the swing against the Government would need to be to prevent a minority government. This Barton Deakin brief provides a snapshot of what to watch in this Territory election on Saturday. Current composition of the Legislative Assembly The Territory has a single Chamber, the Legislative Assembly, which is composed of 25 members. Currently, the Labor Government holds 16 seats (64 per cent), the Country Liberal Party Opposition holds two seats (8 per cent), the Territory Alliance holds three seats (12 per cent), and there are four independents (16 per cent). In late 2018, three members of the Parliamentary Labor Party were dismissed for publicly criticising the Government’s economic management after a report finding that the budget was in “structural deficit”. Former Aboriginal Affairs Minister Ken Vowles, Jeff Collins, and Scott McConnell were dismissed. Mr Vowles later resigned from Parliament and was replaced at a by-election in February 2020 by former Richmond footballer Joel Bowden (Australian Labor Party).

  • 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.

  • AMANDA GRIFFIN the Manx Music Festival
    EnterText 2.1 AMANDA GRIFFIN The Manx Music Festival: A Socio-Cultural Consideration Introduction At the close of the 1993 Manx Music Festival, Sir Charles Kerruish, then President of the Isle of Man parliament, Tynwald, stated: “This festival demonstrates the strength of Manx culture as it is today. Frankly it makes me feel proud to be Manx and happy in the knowledge that our cultural heritage is in such safe keeping.”1 This article is a consideration of the ways in which this music festival can be claimed to demonstrate “the strength of Manx culture as it is today.” By examining the festival from two perspectives it will consider the ways in which the festival is negotiated as a symbol of Manx culture. The first of these perspectives focuses on the meanings found within the festival itself, and the second on the place the Manx Music Festival occupies in the broader culture of the Isle of Man as a whole. Ultimately the article will show how a competitive music festival is used as symbol of both culture and identity. The empirical research for this paper took place over a number of preparatory months and culminated in an intensive six-week period of field study in the Isle of Man that included attending the 108th Manx Music Festival in April 2000. I have chosen to report my findings from this research using the present tense, but this is by Amanda Griffin: The Manx Music Festival150 EnterText 2.1 no means an attempt to place the research in some sort of historically ambivalent moment, with disregard to the passage of time.

    TREATY IN THE NORTHERN TERRITORY WHAT IS TREATY? HISTORY OF TREATY IN THE NORTHERN TERRITORY WHERE ARE WE UP TO? Find out more antar.org.au/treaty What is Treaty? Treaty can be used to describe a range of agreements between states, nations, governments or people. Treaty can include a single treaty, an overarching treaty with separate side agreements, or multiple treaties with the Northern Territory Government and different Aboriginal groups throughout the Territory. However the Northern Territory may need multiple treaties to be relevant for the lives of individuals and their communities. There may be more than one treaty and more than one Aboriginal group that is a party to a treaty. The Northern Territory’s Government has advised they will openly discuss with Territorians about what treaty means to them and progress a treaty between Aboriginal Territorians and the Government. Discussions with Aboriginal people will determine how they are represented in the treaty making process. “We as a nation must come face to face with our dark and traumatic history. We must confront the impact of A treaty or treaties will set the foundation for colonisation and begin the process of acknowledgment, future agreements between Aboriginal people recognition and healing...
