  • The Changing Winds of Civilization: the Aboriginal and Sovereignty Between the Desert and the State,” Intersections 10, No
    intersections online Volume 10, Number 2 (Spring 2009) Luke Caldwell, “The Changing Winds of Civilization: The Aboriginal and Sovereignty Between the Desert and the State,” intersections 10, no. 2 (2009): 119-149. ABSTRACT The antagonistic relationship between the Australian state and the Aborigines has deep and problematic roots. Beginning with the racist doctrine of terra nullius, I look at how more than two hundred years of legal policies have consistently constructed the Aborigine as a problem that required a state solution. I argue that these policies are predicated on a complete denial of native sovereignty and have increasingly alienated native communities. By refusing to engage with the source of these problems, the state has created significant barriers to native rehabilitation and has hijacked reconciliation efforts to strengthen its hegemony instead of native groups. Rather than solving the “Aboriginal problem”, these state policies have created it by placing Aborigines in an ambiguous political space that functions as a medium for civilizing the native—a process through which the native is killed and reborn in a form that is unproblematic for the state. http://depts.washington.edu/chid/intersections_Spring_2009/Luke_Caldwell_The_Changing_Winds_of_Civilization.pdf © 2009 intersections, Luke Caldwell.

  • Northern Territory Election 19 August 2020
    Barton Deakin Brief: Northern Territory Election 19 August 2020 Overview The Northern Territory election is scheduled to be held on Saturday 22 August 2020. This election will see the incumbent Labor Party Government led by Michael Gunner seeking to win a second term against the Country Liberal Party Opposition, which lost at the 2016 election. Nearly 40 per cent of Territorians have already cast their vote in pre-polling ahead of the ballot. The ABC’s election analyst Antony Green said that a swing of 3 per cent would deprive the Government of its majority. However, it is not possible to calculate how large the swing against the Government would need to be to prevent a minority government. This Barton Deakin brief provides a snapshot of what to watch in this Territory election on Saturday. Current composition of the Legislative Assembly The Territory has a single Chamber, the Legislative Assembly, which is composed of 25 members. Currently, the Labor Government holds 16 seats (64 per cent), the Country Liberal Party Opposition holds two seats (8 per cent), the Territory Alliance holds three seats (12 per cent), and there are four independents (16 per cent). In late 2018, three members of the Parliamentary Labor Party were dismissed for publicly criticising the Government’s economic management after a report finding that the budget was in “structural deficit”. Former Aboriginal Affairs Minister Ken Vowles, Jeff Collins, and Scott McConnell were dismissed. Mr Vowles later resigned from Parliament and was replaced at a by-election in February 2020 by former Richmond footballer Joel Bowden (Australian Labor Party).

  • Indigenous Languages in Parliamentary Debate, Legislation and Statutory Interpretation
    1006 UNSW Law Journal Volume 43(3) LEGISLATING IN LANGUAGE: INDIGENOUS LANGUAGES IN PARLIAMENTARY DEBATE, LEGISLATION AND STATUTORY INTERPRETATION JULIAN R MURPHY* There are signs that Australia is beginning a long-overdue process of incorporating Indigenous languages into its parliamentary debates and legislation. These are significant developments in Australian public law which, to date, have attracted insufficient scholarly attention. This article begins the process of teasing out the doctrinal implications of this phenomenon. The article is in four Parts, the first two of which describe and normatively defend the trend towards Indigenous language lawmaking in Australia. The third Part looks abroad to how other countries facilitate multilingual parliamentary debate and legislation. Finally, the article examines the interpretative questions that multilingual legislation poses for Australian courts. Potential answers to these questions are identified within existing Australian and comparative jurisprudence. However, the ultimate aim of this article is not to make prescriptions but to stimulate further discussion about multilingual legislation, which discussion ought to foreground Indigenous voices. I INTRODUCTION Ngayulu kuwari kutju wangkanyi ngura nyangangka, munuṉa nguḻu nguwanpa ngaṟanyi.
