  • In the Name of Failure: a Generational Revolution in Indigenous Affairs Will Sanders
    In the Name of Failure: A Generational Revolution in Indigenous Affairs Will Sanders Introduction In April 2004, towards the end of its third term, the Howard Government announced its intention to abolish the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC), the statutory centerpiece of Commonwealth Indigenous affairs administration over the previous fifteen years. In so doing Prime Minister Howard and his Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs, Senator Amanda Vanstone, referred to ATSIC as an ‘experiment in separate….elected representation, for Indigenous people’ which had been a ‘failure’ and which would not be replaced. Instead a group of ‘distinguished Indigenous people’ would be appointed to ‘advise’ the government and ATSIC’s former programs would be ‘mainstreamed’ to line government departments, though there would still be ‘a major policy role’ for the Minister for Indigenous Affairs (Howard and Vanstone 2004). In this essay, I will focus on the way in which the idea of past policy failure has become the driving motif of Australian Indigenous affairs during the fourth Howard Government and how, in the name of failure, the Government has argued repeatedly for significant organizational and policy change. The first section of the essay documents, in chronological style, this constant linking of the idea of failure with arguments for change. The second section asks, in a more analytic style, what sort of change is now occurring in Australian Indigenous affairs? I argue that the change is best thought of as a generational revolution, which combines a major disowning of the work of the previous generation in Indigenous affairs with a significant ideological swing to the right.

This request has been referred to me, as Minister for Asian Relations and Trade frw a response. India has enjoyed significant economic reform and growth over the past few years and various sectors have been opened up lbr trade and investment. The Northern Territory supports the strengthening of economic, political and sodal links for the mutual benefit of Australia and India. While merchandise trade with India is not strong, the Northern Territory is particularly interested in building and strengthening ties in the areas of skiiled migration, tertiary education, sport and the supply of gas to the Indian market. (Northern Territory — India trade sheetis attached). Australia’s total trade with India for 2005 amounted to $8 billion. With this volume of trade, there is an opportunity for the Northern Territory to position itself to take advantage of the two-way trade, through the Port of Darwin, as well as to develop shipping links with the major ports of India.

  • Maurice Blackburn Oration an Issue of Equity: Is It Fair and Just That There
    1 Maurice Blackburn Oration An Issue of Equity: Is it fair and just that there are 230,000 second-class citizens in the Northern Territory? Professor Clare Martin. It’s a great privilege to be invited to give the Maurice Blackburn Oration and to be the first from the Northern Territory to do so. My thanks to the Moreland City Council for the invitation and I pay my respects to the Wurundjeri people on whose land we meet tonight. Being the first Northern Territorian to deliver this prestigious oration, I thought it only appropriate to bring a Northern Territory perspective with me – a perspective that comes from living and working in the north for nearly 30 years and being a member of the Territory Parliament for 13 of those years, including six as Chief Minister. So my choice of subject tonight and one that I hope would be thoroughly approved of by both Maurice and Doris Blackburn is: An Issue of Equity: Is it fair and just that Northern Territorians, all 230,000 of us, are second-class citizens? And if, as I contend, we are second- class citizens, what does that actually mean? How have those lesser rights affected the course of Territory history; what affect has there been on our political institutions, our political effectiveness and engagement and importantly what effect on our community, especially Aboriginal Territorians who make up a third of our population? So some context about the Northern Territory to start For much of our history since European settlement the Territory has been unloved: a bit of an orphan.

  • 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).

  • Catholic Missions to Aboriginal Australia: an Evaluation of Their Overall Effect
    Catholic missions to Aboriginal Australia: an evaluation of their overall effect James Franklin* Abstract The paper gives an overview of the Catholic Church’s missionary efforts to the Aborigines of northern and western Australia up to 1970. It aims to understand the interaction of missions with native culture and the resulting hybrid culture created on the missions. It describes the differing points of view of missionaries and the generations who grew up on the missions. It is argued that the culture created on the missions by the joint efforts of missionaries and local peoples was by and large a positive phase in Australian black history, between the violence of pre-contact times and the dysfunctionality of recent decades. Criticisms of the missions are addressed, such as those arising from their opposition to aspects of native culture and from their involvement in child removals. Introduction There is no overview available of the Catholic mission effort to Aboriginal Australia (or of the Christian missions overall). A short article cannot fill that gap, but can make a start by indicating the topics that need to be covered, the questions to be answered and the sources available. Here, “missions” is taken in the traditional sense, where a group of white clergy and helpers establish themselves in a remote location and preach and provide other services to local black people who have had little contact with whites. Such initiatives as apostolates to urban black communities are excluded. The topic is important because the history of Aboriginal interaction with missions is quite different from the history of other white-black interactions in Australia, and because many present-day remote communities are former missions which still have strong connections with their mission past.

    The Great Debate: ‘Income Tax Should be Increased to Assist with Australia’s Economic Recovery’ Communities in Control Conference Melbourne, 16 June, 2009 Adjudicated by The Honourable Joan Kirner AM Victorian Community Ambassador, former Premier of Victoria And featuring Clare Martin CEO of ACOSS (Australian Council of Social Service) Brett de Hoedt showman, media trainer and Mayor, Hootville Communications Joan Hughes CEO, Carers Australia Lesley Hall CEO, Australian Federation of Disability Organisations Please Note: This was a light‐hearted debate. The views expressed in this transcript do not necessarily reflect those held by the speakers Page 2 Joan Kirner: Thank you very much, Joe. Thank you everyone for your welcome but it wasn’t really loud enough. [Applause] That’s better. You can say that when you’re no longer in power. You can’t say it when you’re in power. This is my one opportunity to exercise power for the year,l rea power. I’ve got the time and I’ve got some control, although having Clare over there worries me a bit. And we’re going to have our usual great debate. But I’ll first acknowledge that I’m standing on the land of the Kulin Nation and thank them for their custodianship of this land and pledge to work with them, their current Elders and their communities, to get the kind of community in control that Mick was talking about. And, you know, I can never resist interfering with a motion, so if you’re going to send a letter to Jenny Macklin, I think that’s a terrific idea but it’s an even better to ask for a deputation of many of the organisations represented here.
