No.1 2012, ISSN 2013-6897 under the auspices of Coolabah Observatori: Centre d’Estudis Australians, Australian Studies Centre, Universitat de Barcelona Dancing with the Prime Minister Jennifer Jones Copyright © Jennifer Jones 2012. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged Abstract: When Ruby Langford Ginibi and her daughter Pearl prepared for the Foundation for Aboriginal Affairs Debutante Ball in 1968, they contributed to development of a significant new expression of Aboriginal identity and community belonging. Debutante balls were traditionally staged as a rite of passage that introduced a select group of young ladies to British high society. They went into decline in the UK in the late 1950s, under pressure from anti-establishment and sexual revolutions. The tradition remained popular in Australia, as the debutante ball had developed important status as fundraising events for local organisations. This article examines the history of Aboriginal girls ‘coming out’ at a debutante ball. While the inclusion of Aboriginal girls in debutante balls was encouraged as a means to achieve assimilation, proud celebration at all-Aboriginal events provoked controversy. Ruby Langford Ginibi’s reflection upon her daughter’s dance with the Australian Prime Minister at the 1968 Foundation for Aboriginal Affairs Debutante Ball is instructive. It explains how an exclusive, sexist British ritual has been transformed into a vital, inclusive Aboriginal rite of passage and challenges non-Aboriginal readers to re-evaluate their assessment of the tradition.

Robbie starts in January 2010 and brings with him over 20 years of experience in the radio industry, a love for Australian music, plus natural skills as an entertainer. “As the Evening Show is heard throughout NSW and the ACT, I'm especially excited that Robbie has a very strong connection to regional NSW, having spent much of his early life in Lismore, and appeared on radio there from a very young age. ” said James O’Brien ABC Local Radio Manager NSW. “In common with Adam Spencer, Simon Marnie, Angela Catterns and many others who have made the transition from triple j to 'grown up radio' I think the appointment demonstrates the significant role the ABC plays in developing both on-air and off-air talent.” Robbie is a highly valued team member of triple j, hosting the popular Breakfast program with The Doctor and Marieke since early 2008. He has hosted Lunch, Drive and Weekend shifts while working with the national youth network for the last 11 years.
