  • Fire Creator for Justice Is Awoken Eleanor Gilbert
    FIRE CREATOR FOR JUSTICE IS AWOKEN ELEANOR GILBERT The international spotlight once again focused on the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in Canberra when, on 25 January 1999, the Daily Telegraph ran a lead story: Not in Our Front Yard revealing that Ian MacDonald, Minister for Territories, had introduced a 1932 trespass ordinance to remove the caravans, tents and dwellings. Even though the Tent Embassy has been registered on the National Estate by the Australian Heritage Commission since 1995 as a ‘living site...a dynamic site which is continually evolving and changing to cater to the needs of the Aboriginal people who visit and live there’ it is under constant threat of removal. Isobel Coe, Wiradjuri, explains to a press conference, ‘Our Embassy is the longest running protest site in the country. This is representative of how our people have to live in our own country - and this, I might add, is a lot better than how a lot of people have to live. They don't have access to basic necessities like water. That humpy represents the first house ever in the whole world. Our Fire represents the first ceremony ever in the whole world….You’ve got a flame that’s going all around the world, an Olympic Flame that started, that grew out of, this Fire Ceremony.’ Events at the Tent Embassy bring into sharp relief the contradiction between the essence and purpose of the Embassy and the misinformation distributed by, both, the government's propaganda machine and the biased mainstream media in this country. Anyone who participated in the annual Corroboree for Sovereignty on 26 January 1999 knows that what transpired on this day was a powerful healing process ‘to make peace amongst the people and mainly to make peace for our Country.’ Arabunna Elder, Uncle Kevin Buzzacott, who has Fire and Water dreaming, alludes to the depths of the healing ceremony as he talks to a circle of international visitors, who gather at the Fire, which has been burning for a whole year.

  • The Scale Politics of Reconciliation: from the Political and the Personal to Geographical Scale
    1) INTRODUCTION 1.1: Preamble Indigenous affairs policies in Australia’s colonial and “post-colonial” phases have been concentrated mainly around the twin issues of constructing an Australian national identity and maintaining capitalist systems of resource exploitation, rather than addressing issues of Indigenous rights or political equality between Indigenous peoples and Australian governments. For example, commitments made by federal governments to Aboriginal rights in land from the 1960s to the 1980s have been defeated or seriously diminished by political influence from the pastoral and minerals and energy sectors1. Throughout, conservative interests have been served by representations of land rights and Indigenous political associations as being a threat to Australian national unity and identity2. When the idea of reconciliation became a foundation for Indigenous affairs policy in 1990 it represented an effort to broaden previous policy parameters. One of the major three objectives of the policy, as formulated by its architect Robert Tickner (the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs in the Hawke Labor Government from 1990 to 1996) was to establish whether “any document of reconciliation would benefit the Australian community as a whole” and if so, “to make recommendations to the Minister on its nature and content” (Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation, 1993:12). This was an attempt to move from a narrow legislative framework to a more open- ended process of negotiating frameworks of reference between Indigenous leadership, politicians and other sectors. Another objective—a public education program on Australia’s history and social justice issues—was aimed in part, at generating popular inquiry concerning the need for these new processes.

  • Statements from Aboriginal Traditional Owners Regarding the Plan to Import High-Level Nuclear Waste to South Australia
    Statements from Aboriginal Traditional Owners regarding the plan to import high-level nuclear waste to South Australia October 2016 www.anfa.org.au/traditional-owners-statements ---------------- Irati Wanti, Vasinyi / 'The Poison – Leave It' Port Augusta – September 3, 2016 South Australian Anangu and Yura (Aboriginal Traditional Owners) call on the Citizens Jury to reject the plan to turn our homelands into stores and dumps for international high-level nuclear waste. The nuclear industry has a track record of Aboriginal dispossession and environmental pollution − from the atomic bomb tests to uranium mining to nuclear waste dump proposals. The government says the nuclear waste dump proposal is different to the atomic bomb tests, but Inaadi vasinyi − radiation is radiation, poison is poison. Governments stripped Aboriginal people of land, land rights and heritage protections for atomic bomb tests and uranium mining, and exactly the same thing will happen with the high-level nuclear waste dump. Aboriginal Traditional Owners have first-hand experience. Poisoned water, poisoned plants, poisoned animals, poisoned people. To this day Traditional Owners wear the scars and hurt and pain but still continue to tell their stories. We take responsibility to share our muda, tjukurpa, wapar (ancestral stories) and insist that you also respect our songlines. We've seen this happen too many times before. In the past we had no voice but today we have a voice and must be listened to. Then, we had no rights. Now we have rights and those rights must be respected. We will oppose this dangerous matter and will not allow our sacred land to be sacrificed for a nuclear waste dump.
