  • The Gunditjmara Land Justice Story Jessica K Weir
    The legal outcomes the Gunditjmara achieved in the 1980s are often overlooked in the history of land rights and native title in Australia. The High Court Onus v Alcoa case and the subsequent settlement negotiated with the State of Victoria, sit alongside other well known bench marks in our land rights history, including the Gurindji strike (also known as the Wave Hill Walk-Off) and land claim that led to the development of land rights legislation in the Northern Territory. This publication links the experiences in the 1980s with the Gunditjmara’s present day recognition of native title, and considers the possibilities and limitations of native title within the broader context of land justice.

It includes both transnational, comparative and connective studies, and studies which address where particular regions or nations participate in global phenomena. While in the past the series focused on the British Empire and Commonwealth, in its current incarna- tion there is no imperial system, period of human history or part of the world which lies outside of its compass.

Message from our Chief Executive I am delighted to present Alfred Health’s first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP): a living and practical plan built around strong relationships, respect and pride in our local Aboriginal community and the potential for employment and business opportunities. This plan is something of a watershed in our relationship with our Aboriginal community. It recognises that we need to do better in providing care for our Aboriginal patients and commits us to a journey to achieve greater equality in healthcare for our first peoples. Already it has been a two-year journey in developing this plan and along the way we have learnt much about what reconciliation means to us and the importance of meaningful and respectful relationships. Thanks must go to the many people involved in creating this plan, particularly to local elder Caroline Briggs, The Boon Wurrung Foundation, and Reconciliation Australia who have supported and guided us through this process. More about our plan The vision for reconciliation is for all Australians to be equal, to have equal opportunities and for there to be trust as we move forward in a shared vision for our country. I sincerely hope that this plan This plan is a summary of and the energy and commitment of our Alfred Health staff will contribute to achieving this vision.

  • 16 November 2018 Jill Gallagher AO Victorian Treaty
    16 November 2018 Jill Gallagher AO Victorian Treaty Advancement Commissioner 116 Cardigan Street Carlton VIC 3053 By email to: [email protected] Dear Jill Submission on the proposed Aboriginal Representative Body model As you know, the Federation of Victorian Traditional Owner Corporations is the peak body representing the interests of Victorian Traditional Owners who have or are in the process of gaining recognition under the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth), Traditional Owner Settlement Act 2010 (Vic), or the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006 (Vic). Traditional Owner corporations are the primary vehicle through which traditional groups and bodies (however described, be they nations, peoples or clans) have organised for the purpose of asserting and exercising traditional rights to country. We acknowledge that the proposal put forward by the Victorian Treaty Advancement Commission (Commission) envisions such corporations playing a substantial role in the Aboriginal Representative Body, and accordingly, we welcome this opportunity to respond to the proposed model. Please find enclosed our submission. As you can see, we generally support the proposal, and commend the Commission for its diligent work in its development. However, we also provide a number of recommendations which we believe may ultimately strengthen the model and the Treaty process in general. If you have any questions or would like to discuss our submission further, please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours sincerely Marcus Stewart Chief Executive Officer PO Box 431 North Melbourne VIC 3051 (03) 9321 5388 [email protected] www.fvtoc.com.au ABN: 40 164 514 121 Submission on the proposed Aboriginal Representative Body model Introduction This submission is a response to the proposed structure of the Aboriginal Representative Body (ARB), as developed by the Victorian Treaty Advancement Commission (Commission) and set out in the publication titled Treaty Statewide Gathering, dated 25 September 2018 (Proposal).

Queensland II’s1 recognition of Indigenous peoples’ rights to their traditional lands, the jurisprudence of native title has undergone significant development. The High Court of Australia decisions in Ward2 and Yorta Yorta3 in 2002 sought to clarify the nature of native title and its place within Australian property law, and within the legal system more generally. Since these decisions, lower courts have had time to apply them to native title issues across the country. This Article briefly examines the history of the doctrine of discovery in Australia as a background to the delayed recognition of Indigenous rights in lands and resources.
