I will look at some of the landmark works of history produced by both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people over the last fifty years, and will talk about some of the issues I faced when writing about the Freedom Ride of 1965, and about government policies, settler attitudes, and Aboriginal responses to colonisation in the nineteenth century. I will ask why, given the extensive body of knowledge about Aboriginal history expressed in books, film, and television, we still find that many people are unaware of that history, cannot acknowledge the destructiveness of colonisation, and see little connection between past events, present concerns, and plans for the future. John Maynard, ‘Tokol – talking straight history’ Tokol is a local Awabakal (Newcastle) word recorded by the missionary Threlkeld in the years 1821-1850 meaning – truth, to be true, straight.

MR P.C. TINLEY (Willagee) [2.50 pm]: I rise to conclude my brief contribution on the historic Constitution Amendment (Recognition of Aboriginal People) Bill 2015. Without rehashing it, for the benefit of anybody who was not in the chamber at the time I characterised the Aboriginal contribution to military service in Western Australia and Australia as being a significant contribution to progressing the identity of both Aboriginal people and non-Aboriginal people in creating a unified culture. I also noted with some gratitude that symbolism is important. The opening quote that I used was “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will change.” I believe that we have progressed even in the time of this Parliament to being on the cusp of delivering a significant substantive arrangement beyond symbolism for the Indigenous land use agreements with the Noongar people at the National Native Title Tribunal. We look forward to making a substantive contribution to reconciliation beyond just the symbolism.

  • Marriageability and Indigenous Representation in the White Mainstream Media in Australia
    Marriageability and Indigenous Representation in the White Mainstream Media in Australia PhD Thesis 2007 Andrew King BA (Hons) Supervisor: Associate Professor Alan McKee Creative Industries, Queensland University of Technology Abstract By means of a historical analysis of representations, this thesis argues that an increasing sexualisation of Indigenous personalities in popular culture contributes to the reconciliation of non-Indigenous and Indigenous Australia. It considers how sexualised images and narratives of Indigenous people, as they are produced across a range of film, television, advertising, sport and pornographic texts, are connected to a broader politics of liberty and justice in the present postmodern and postcolonial context. By addressing this objective the thesis will identify and evaluate the significance of ‘banal’ or everyday representations of Aboriginal sexuality, which may range from advertising images of kissing, television soap episodes of weddings, sultry film romances through to more evocatively oiled-up representations of the pin- up-calendar variety. This project seeks to explore how such images offer possibilities for creating informal narratives of reconciliation, and engendering understandings of Aboriginality in the media beyond predominant academic concerns for exceptional or fatalistic versions. i Keywords Aboriginality Indigenous Marriageability Reconciliation Popular Culture Sexuality Relationships Interracial Public Sphere Mediasphere Celebrity ii Table of Contents Introduction ………………………………………………………………………….
