It discusses the political representation of ethnic and racial minorities in Australia. An overview of the issues surrounding the definition of an ‘ethnic minority’ is provided in section two (pp 2-4), with particular attention given to the fluidity of ethnicity as a concept, and an explanation of its usage in public policy terms. The potential for strong community reactions to the term is also touched upon in relation to the introduction of the Community Relations Commission and Principles of Multiculturalism Act 2000. The multicultural nature of Australian society forms the backdrop against which this paper is written. Section three (pp 5-20) considers the meaning of ‘multiculturalism’ – in terms of official government policy – and briefly outlines some common critiques. The majority of the section consists of statistical data based on the 2001 National Census. Following a general overview of the Australian population, a more detailed look is taken at indigenous and non-indigenous Australians, including their presence in Australian parliaments. A final section on ethnicity and voting behaviour is included. It focuses on the extent to which voters favour candidates of their own ethnicity. The link between ethnic voting and socio- demographic indicators is also examined. Section four (pp 21-38) surveys the barriers that must be overcome by ethnic and racial minorities before participation in formal representative bodies is possible. The right to vote, the right to stand for election, and the ability to understand the system itself, are identified as threshold barriers. The effect of permanent residency and dual nationality on participation is discussed with reference to ethnic minorities. Discussion of structural barriers such as systems of preselection, and the influence of electoral systems on the electoral fortunes of minority groups follows. An examination of New Zealand’s electoral system – Mixed Member Proportional – is included for the purpose of comparison. Theoretical approaches to representation are reviewed in section five under the headings of ‘Microcosmic Representation’ (pp 39-45) and ‘Normative Theories of Representation’ (pp 45-50). The section concludes with a case study concerning the ethnicity of Members of Parliament (MPs) and constituents, and the influence – if any – of those characteristics upon the representative style of MPs at parliamentary level. Alternatives to parliamentary representation are introduced in section six, including direct and indirect options. Proposals include an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) Assembly (p 51), dedicated

We are engaged in policy development across hate crime & vilification laws, online safety, disinformation and democracy. Through using a combination of media, law, research, and direct engagement with decision making parties such as government and digital platforms, we are in a constant process of generating and testing constructive proposals. We also test existing civil and criminal laws to push back against the mainstreaming of hate, and examine whether those laws are fit for purpose. Most recently, we are finalising significant research into how anti-Muslim dehumanising discourse operates on Facebook and Twitter, and the assessment framework that could be used to competently and consistently assess hate actors.

  • 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.
