Chairman’s foreword The Australian Securities and Investments Commission was pleased to host the ASIC Summer School 2011 in Sydney from 21 to 23 March 2011. This was our 16th successive Summer School. This year is a particularly important one for ASIC, as it marks the 20th anniversary of our formation as the Australian Securities Commission in 1991. The theme for this year’s event was ‘The New Regulatory Landscape’. With the significance of our anniversary year in mind, we reflected on the history of corporate and financial services regulation in Australia over the last few decades, as well as looking to the future. Over the course of two-and-a-half days, our focus turned from market integrity to retail investors and consumers, and finally to facilitating business in Australia. This report is a record of presentations and panel discussions from the plenary and associated panel sessions. It also includes PowerPoint presentations, where relevant. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of this year’s Summer School. I hope you find this report useful.

  • Land, Rights, Laws: Issues of Native Title
    Land, Rights, Laws: Issues of Native Title Native Title Research Unit Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies Contributing to the understanding of crucial issues of concern to native title Editor: Grace Koch Volume 2 October 2002 Issues paper no. 18 Abstract In this paper, Dr Weiner inspects some of the appeals made to tradition and continuity of tradition in the High Court appeal of the Yorta Yorta native title case. He suggests that certain common notions of tradition call forth conflicting anthropological accounts of cultural articulation, and that this conflict is not properly acknowledged within the anthropology that concerns itself with native title issues strictly speaking. He contrasts two ideal-types of indigeneity in the post-colonial world of settler society and then attempts to conflate the resulting contrast by an appeal to a more sophisticated and contemporary materialist theory. Dr James F. Weiner is a consultant anthropologist and a Visiting Fellow in Resource Management in the Asia Pacific Program, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, Australian National University. ————————————————————————— DIASPORA, MATERIALISM, TRADITION: ANTHROPOLOGICAL ISSUES IN THE RECENT HIGH COURT APPEAL OF THE YORTA YORTA1 Dr James F. Weiner The appeal hearing Members of the Yorta Yorta Aboriginal Community v State of Victoria & Ors2 (the Yorta Yorta appeal) represents an important moment in both the progress of native title in Australia, and in the elucidation of the anthropologist’s role in it. Whichever way the appeal goes, there will be profound implications for the conduct of native title particularly in settled Australia. However, because the arguments are being made by legal experts and not anthropologists, the anthropologist is likely to become frustrated by the narrow and superficial way in which some important and complex concepts in the anthropological repertoire are defined and argued in the course of appeals such as this.
