  • Lessons from Chile for Allocating Indigenous Water Rights in Australia
    1130 UNSW Law Journal Volume 40(3) 9 BEYOND RECOGNITION: LESSONS FROM CHILE FOR ALLOCATING INDIGENOUS WATER RIGHTS IN AUSTRALIA ELIZABETH MACPHERSON I INTRODUCTION Australian water law frameworks, which authorise water use, have historically excluded indigenous people. Indigenous land now exceeds 30 per cent of the total land in Australia.1 Yet indigenous water use rights are estimated at less than 0.01 per cent of total Australian water allocations.2 In the limited situations where water law frameworks have engaged with indigenous interests, they typically conceive of such interests as falling outside of the consumptive pool’3 of water applicable to commercial uses associated with activities on land such as irrigation, agriculture, industry or tourism.4 The idea that states must recognise’ indigenous groups, and their ongoing rights to land and resources, has become the central claim of the international indigenous rights movement. 5 Claims for recognition of indigenous land and resource rights are the logical outcome of demands for indigenous rights based on ideas of reparative’ justice.6 The colonisers failed to recognise indigenous rights to land and resources at the acquisition of sovereignty, the argument goes, and the remedy is to recognise those rights now.

The body of work I have produced aims to disrupt the denial of invasion and the erasure of Aboriginal culture through accepted narratives of European settlement of Australia. By aligning collective denial with anxiety, it presents a pathway for remediation through situational exposure; in this case, through works of art. The critical perspective on the invasion and colonisation of Australia is presented in the discursive and non- discursive modes of communication of the coloniser not to arbitrate or appease but to amplify the content. The structure of the exegesis also draws from Aboriginal narrative methodology and integrates with, and is informed by, the studio production in printmaking using demanding traditional European graphic techniques such as etching and aquatint. 2 Statement of Originality: This work has not previously been submitted for a degree or diploma in any university.

  • The Toohey Legacy: Rights and Freedoms, Compassion and Honour
    57 THE TOOHEY LEGACY: RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, COMPASSION AND HONOUR GREG MCINTYRE* I INTRODUCTION John Toohey is a person whom I have admired as a model of how to behave as a lawyer, since my first years in practice. A fundamental theme of John Toohey’s approach to life and the law, which shines through, is that he remained keenly aware of the fact that there are groups and individuals within our society who are vulnerable to the exercise of power and that the law has a role in ensuring that they are not disadvantaged by its exercise. A group who clearly fit within that category, and upon whom a lot of John’s work focussed, were Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. In 1987, in a speech to the Student Law Reform Society of Western Australia Toohey said: Complex though it may be, the relation between Aborigines and the law is an important issue and one that will remain with us;1 and in Western Australia v Commonwealth (Native Title Act Case)2 he reaffirmed what was said in the Tasmanian Dam Case,3 that ‘[t]he relationship between the Aboriginal people and the lands which they occupy lies at the heart of traditional Aboriginal culture and traditional Aboriginal life’. A University of Western Australia John Toohey had a long-standing relationship with the University of Western Australia, having graduated in 1950 in Law and in 1956 in Arts and winning the F E Parsons (outstanding graduate) and HCF Keall (best fourth year student) prizes. He was a Senior Lecturer at the Law School from 1957 to 1958, and a Visiting Lecturer from 1958 to 1965.

  • Queensland V Congoo: the Confused Re- Emergence of a Rationale of Equality?
    QUEENSLAND V CONGOO: THE CONFUSED RE- EMERGENCE OF A RATIONALE OF EQUALITY? ZOE BUSH* In State of Queensland v Congoo [2015] HCA 17 (13 May 2015), the High Court applied principles of extinguishment to determine the effect of military orders under reg 54 of the National Security (General) Regulations 1940 (Cth) on the native title rights and interests of the Bar- Barrum People. The Court’s split decision casts questions of extinguishment back to the ‘legal jungle’. Amongst the thicket, the re- emergence of a ‘rationale of equality’ can be glimpsed in the statutory majority’s emphasis on the standard of ‘clear and plain intention’. The requirement of a clear and plain legislative intention to expropriate existing property rights without compensation is well established. On the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, its extension to the extinguishment of native title would accord with the fundamental rule of law in c 29 that ‘[n]o Freeman shall… be desseised… but by… the law of the Land’. I INTRODUCTION Queensland v Congoo1 is the most recent High Court decision regarding the common law principles of extinguishment of native title. The case concerned the effect of military orders under reg 54 of the National Security (General) Regulations 1940 (Cth) (‘Regulations’) over land that was later subject to a native title claim by the Bar-Barrum People in 2001. Despite all purporting to apply the test of inconsistency of rights in Western Australia v Ward,2 the Court delivered a decision split three to three. Pursuant to s 23(2)(a) of the Judiciary Act 1903 (Cth), the appeal from the decision of the Full Federal Court in Congoo v Queensland3 was dismissed.

  • Indigenous Equality: the Long Road
    INDIGENOUS EQUALITY: THE LONG ROAD GREG MCINTYRE SC This essay identifies some of incremental progress towards substantive racial equality in Australia for First Nations Peoples observed in the course of a legal practice extending over the past 44 years, affected by cases brought before the courts, particularly the case of Mabo v Queensland. It discusses the impact on that progress of legislation, particularly the Native Title Act. It concludes that recognition of the fiduciary duty of the Government towards its First Nations Peoples may be a necessary prerequisite to according them self determination and equality within the Australian nation.
