Institutionalisation of Aborigines, under the guise of assimilation and protection policies, was only abandoned in.the lg7Os. It is therefore important to understand the implications of these policies for Aborigines and Australian society in general. I investigate the affect of institutionalisation on Aborigines, questioning the assumption tl.at they were passive victims forced onto missions and government stations and kept there as virtual prisoners. -

Did You Know? Some Quick Statistics…
Football, or soccer, is truly a World Game, with an unmatched ability to bring people from different backgrounds together. With attention turning to Brazil for the FIFA World Cup, which starts on 12 June 2014, there is no better time to discover the contributions Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have made to the World Game. Did you know? Harry Williams is the only male Aboriginal player to represent Australia at a World Cup. He joined the Socceroos in 1970 and later played in the 1974 World Cup in Germany.1 In 2008, Jade North became the first Aboriginal player to captain the Socceroos. He has a tattoo with his tribal name, “Biripi”, on his left arm and recently played in the 2014 A-league grand final.2 Lydia Williams and Kyah Simon are the first two Aboriginal women to play together in a World Cup. Lydia played in the 2007 and 2011 World Cups, and Kyah played in 2011.3 In 2011 Kyah became the first Aboriginal Australian to score a goal in a World Cup. Charlie Perkins was offered a contract to play soccer for Manchester United before becoming the first Aboriginal person to graduate from the University of Sydney. Travis Dodd was the first Aboriginal Australian to score a goal for the Socceroos.4 Some quick statistics… The Football Federation of Australia (FFA) estimates that there are 2,600 registered Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander soccer players.5 Harry Williams played 6 matches for Australia in the 1974 World Cup qualifying campaign.6 1 http://www.deadlyvibe.com.au/2007/11/harry-williams/ 2 The Aboriginal Soccer Tribe: A History of Aboriginal Involvement with the World Game, John Maynard, Magabala Books: Broome, 2011 3 http://noapologiesrequired.com/the-matildas/15-facts-about-the-matildas 4 http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/perthglory/players/Travis-Dodd/72 5 http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/site/_content/document/00000601-source.pdf 6 Tatz, C & Tatz, C. -
Address-In-Reply 6 Sep 2018
2380 Address-in-Reply 6 Sep 2018 this consultation draft now so that the parliament, the waste and recycling industry, councils and the community can consider the full package of proposed amendments to legislation to implement the waste levy. Information about consultation will be provided on the Department of Environment and Science’s website. Since March this year, when the government announced our intention to accept the recommendation of the Lyons report and introduce a waste levy to underpin our waste strategy, we have been undertaking comprehensive consultation with a range of stakeholders to ensure we hear everyone’s voices. I look forward to continuing consultation as the bill progresses through parliament, and as the regulations are discussed. Queenslanders are increasingly conscious of waste as an economic and environmental issue. This bill delivers a key enabler of change. The waste levy will provide an incentive for people to reduce the waste they create and find more productive and job-creating uses for their waste. Importantly, the bill also ensures that it will not cost Queenslanders any more to put out their wheelie bin. It is not hard to see the long-term economic and environmental benefits that this levy will bring to Queensland. Through the introduction of a waste levy and a new waste strategy, we can work towards a more sustainable future for generations of Queenslanders to come. I commend the bill to the House. First Reading Hon. LM ENOCH (Algester—ALP) (Minister for Environment and the Great Barrier Reef, Minister for Science and Minister for the Arts) (11.29 am): I move— That the bill be now read a first time. -
Colonial Australia and Aboriginal Resistance
www.galaxyimrj.com Galaxy: International Multidisciplinary Research Journal ISSN 2278-9529 “The Frontier Spectrum”: Colonial Australia and Aboriginal Resistance Prasenjit Das Ph.D. Scholar Dept. of English, Ranchi University, Jharkhand, India You are the New Australians, but we are the Old Australians. We have in our arteries the blood of the original Australians, who have lived in this land for many thousands of years.—Argus as qtd. in Bourke et al 43. ...I see Indigenous peoples as having twin projects: at one level, we must understand the motivation behind the historical constructions of Aboriginality, and understand why they have had such a grip over colonizing populations; simultaneously we must continuously subvert the hegemony over our own representations, and allow our visions to create the world of meaning in which we relate to ourselves, to each other and to non-Indigenous peoples.—Dodson 33. Australian nation is predominantly ‘White’ not only in terms of society and culture, but also when viewed in the perspectives of literature, art and identity in general. There is even a claim of a ‘White Australian Nation’, from the very time when the European explorers said to have ‘discovered’ an island in the southern hemisphere, dismissed as terra nullius1, to the present day first-world capitalist situation. This was primarily achieved through a complete negation of Aboriginal existence, an utter disregard of Aboriginal identity—history, tradition, culture values, customs and mores of living. Epithets such as ‘blood thirsty’, ‘cunning’ ‘primitive’, ‘non- modern’ ‘Australian Nigger’ were often used to label and denote the Aboriginals by the colonizers. This ‘othering’ was evident in certain lopsided observations of the white colonizers: ...degraded as to divine things, almost on a level with a brute.. -
My Mother Found Me in Alice Springs
THE FIRST ABORIGINAL DOCTOR Gordon Briscoe 19 April 2019 Born in Alice Springs in 1938 Gordon Briscoe was a talented soccer player and became the first Indigenous person to gain a PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) from an Australian University in 1997. Gordon Briscoe in the 1960s. Doctor Briscoe’s journey is remarkable. Since the 1950s he has been a prominent Indigenous activist, leader, researcher, writer, teacher and public commentator. After a challenging institutional upbringing which saw him criss-cross the nation, initially struggling at school with limited support, he managed to gain the highest qualification an Australian University can offer. Along the way he was the first Indigenous person to stand for Federal Parliament in 1972 and worked with legendary eye surgeon Fred Hollows to establish the National Trachoma and Eye Health Program. Today he is one of the leading academics specialising in Indigenous history and his research has helped him to reclaim his traditional family and sense of cultural identity. Descended from the Marduntjara and Pitjantjatjara peoples of Central Australia Briscoe’s maternal grandmother, Kanaki, was born west of Kulkara. She travelled around the Mardu lands to forage and participate in ceremonies. Kanaki’s traditional husband was Wati Kunmanara, but she conceived Briscoe’s mother Eileen with a white man named Billy Briscoe. Briscoe lived at “The Bungalow” in Alice Springs until he was four. After the bombing of Darwin in February 1942, the residents of the Aboriginal institutions were evacuated from the Northern Territory. Briscoe and his mother were initially evacuated to Mulgoa in the Blue Mountains of NSW, but after the birth of his brother they were sent to the South Australian town of Balaklava for the remainder of the war. -
How to Write a Good Letter to the Editor: QLD a Guide to Writing Awesome, Powerful Letters
How to write a good letter to the editor: QLD A Guide to writing awesome, powerful letters Letters to the editor of local papers are an excellent way for politicians to gauge what the public is thinking. This is a how-to guide for writing powerful and useful letters that can inform the public debate around Adani’s coal project. What makes a good letter? Some tips: ● The best letters are short, snappy and succinct - never longer than 200 words. ● Try to limit your letter to one central idea so it is clear and easy to read. Don’t be afraid to use humour if it suits! ● Good letters are timely if they are in response to a big announcement or event. This means written and sent on the same day. ● Back-up your claims with facts where appropriate. There are many resources on our website (see below for links). ● Try to weave in a personal story if you can and it is fitting. For example: ○ I’m a tourist operator on the Reef and Adani’s coal mine will put my business in jeopardy. ○ I am a teacher and see school students are very attuned to the impact of climate change on the Reef and Adani’s role in this. ○ I went to visit the Reef last year and am saddened by the fact the QLD Government is ignoring coral bleaching events in favour of more coal mining. ○ I’m a Townsville resident who has experienced the mining industry’s boom-bust cycles and I think the future of Townsville should be solar. -

It is about working towards reclaiming a sense of balance and harmony in the physical, psychological, social, cultural and spiritual works of our people, and practicing our profession in a manner that upholds these multiple dimension of Indigenous health” –Professor Helen Milroy, Aboriginal Child Psychiatrist and Australia’s first Aboriginal medical Doctor. -
Highways Byways
Highways AND Byways THE ORIGIN OF TOWNSVILLE STREET NAMES Compiled by John Mathew Townsville Library Service 1995 Revised edition 2008 Acknowledgements Australian War Memorial John Oxley Library Queensland Archives Lands Department James Cook University Library Family History Library Townsville City Council, Planning and Development Services Front Cover Photograph Queensland 1897. Flinders Street Townsville Local History Collection, Citilibraries Townsville Copyright Townsville Library Service 2008 ISBN 0 9578987 54 Page 2 Introduction How many visitors to our City have seen a street sign bearing their family name and wondered who the street was named after? How many students have come to the Library seeking the origin of their street or suburb name? We at the Townsville Library Service were not always able to find the answers and so the idea for Highways and Byways was born. Mr. John Mathew, local historian, retired Town Planner and long time Library supporter, was pressed into service to carry out the research. Since 1988 he has been steadily following leads, discarding red herrings and confirming how our streets got their names. Some remain a mystery and we would love to hear from anyone who has information to share. Where did your street get its name? Originally streets were named by the Council to honour a public figure. As the City grew, street names were and are proposed by developers, checked for duplication and approved by Department of Planning and Development Services. Many suburbs have a theme. For example the City and North Ward areas celebrate famous explorers. The streets of Hyde Park and part of Gulliver are named after London streets and English cities and counties. -
