The National Indigenous Reform Agreement (NIRA) lists a number of targets to In 2008, the Torres Strait Regional end Indigenous disadvantage. To address the targets, the government has made Authority (TSRA), the Torres Strait a long-term commitment across seven key areas (known as Building Blocks).

Governance and Leadership In August and September 2008, teams with representatives from the TSRA, NPARC, TSC, TSIRC and ATSIS spoke to all communities and elected leaders in the region about their needs and aspirations. In 2009, the Torres Strait and Northern Peninsula Area Regional Plan 2009-2029 (the Regional Plan) was developed. The Regional Plan: 1. outlines the communities’ vision for the region; 2. specifies goals based on the seven COAG Building Blocks and three extra goals specific to the region; 3. outlines how to achieve these goals; and 4. calls for a regional partnership with all levels of government working together to build a strong future for the region. * In 2012 ATSIS became the Department of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Multicultural Affairs, DATSIMA.

  • Navigating Boundaries: the Asian Diaspora in Torres Strait
    CHAPTER TWO Tidal Flows An overview of Torres Strait Islander-Asian contact Anna Shnukal and Guy Ramsay Torres Strait Islanders The Torres Strait Islanders, Australia’s second Indigenous minority, come from the islands of the sea passage between Queensland and New Guinea. Estimated to number at most 4,000 people before contact, but reduced by half by disease and depredation by the late-1870s, they now number more than 40,000. Traditional stories recount their arrival in waves of chain migration from various islands and coastal villages of southern New Guinea, possibly as a consequence of environmental change.1 The Islanders were not traditionally unified, but recognised five major ethno-linguistic groups or ‘nations’, each specialising in the activities best suited to its environment: the Miriam Le of the fertile, volcanic islands of the east; the Kulkalgal of the sandy coral cays of the centre; the Saibailgal of the low mud-flat islands close to the New Guinea coast; the Maluilgal of the grassy, hilly islands of the centre west; and the Kaurareg of the low west, who for centuries had intermarried with Cape York Aboriginal people. They spoke dialects of two traditional but unrelated languages: in the east, Papuan Meriam Mir; in the west and centre, Australian Kala Lagaw Ya (formerly called Mabuiag); and they used a sophisticated sign language to communicate with other language speakers. Outliers of a broad Melanesian culture area, they lived in small-scale, acephalous, clan-based communities and traded, waged war and intermarried with their neighbours and the peoples of the adjacent northern and southern mainlands.

  • Implementation of Nasal High Flow Therapy in Thursday Island and Cape York
    Implementation of nasal high flow therapy in Thursday Island and Cape York Nicholas Cairns1, Sally West2 1Torres and Cape Hospital Health Service, 2Centre for Rural and Remote Health, James Cook University Abstract Background: Respiratory diseases represent the main reason for paediatric inter-hospital transfers in urban and remote areas. Nasal High Flow (NHF) therapy is a simple method of oxygen delivery that provides additional respiratory support to patients with acute respiratory failure. It is proven to be effective and has been safely used outside intensive care settings in tertiary and regional hospitals. Although there is a desire to use NHF therapy in remote hospitals in Australia, the safety and value of using NHF where retrieval to intensive care services requires air retrieval and potential time delays, is unknown. Aim: The aim of this study is to explore the safety and efficacy of implementing NHF therapy for infants with bronchiolitis in remote Torres and Cape hospitals. Proposed methods: This study will use a sequential mixed methods design. Using a modified Delphi technique, an expert panel will establish agreed clinical guidelines on NHF therapy implementation. Once the NHF therapy guidelines have been established training will be provided to staff. A comparison cohort study will audit the clinical outcomes of all infants presenting with bronchiolitis to Weipa, Cooktown and Thursday Island hospitals for a 12 month period and compared with outcomes for all presentations in the 12 months prior to NHF therapy implementation. Issues/dilemmas: The expert panel and subsequent audit evaluating clinical outcomes post- implementation is a reasonably established research process. The challenge in developing the guidelines will be in ensuring fair and equal input from all panel members.

  • The Chinese Diaspora in Torres Strait
    CHAPTER THREE The Chinese Diaspora in Torres Strait Cross-cultural connections and contentions on Thursday Island Guy Ramsay The Chinese have maintained a long historical presence in Australia. Their mainland experience, driven by opportunity and fortune yet encumbered by racial prejudice and exclusion, has received a great deal of scholarly attention in the past three decades.1 This narration of the Chinese diaspora in Australia has until recently focused on a racial binary of White settler versus minority group. In colonial Australia and beyond, the Chinese were seen as intruders, the ‘other’. A State-constructed discourse of ‘threat’ nourished and legitimated dominant society’s fears of the Chinese presence. This resonated clearly in dominant perceptions of competition for economic resources, such as gold and retail commerce; drug trafficking in opium and alcohol; sexual competition and anti-miscegenetic sentiment in regard to Chinese ‘bachelor societies’; post- World War II fears of communist expansion; and, more recently, illegal immigrants and boat arrivals. A new generation of Australian historical studies, however, has extended discussion of the Chinese diaspora beyond this White-minority binary.2 Recent studies of mainland communities have decentred the racial narrative to incorporate a third space of Chinese-Indigenous connections. Normative racial boundaries have been successfully inverted by placing the oppressed at centre 54 Navigating Boundaries stage and the oppressor at the sidelines, revealing a more complex and nuanced experience of triangulated group relations (Chinese–Aboriginal–White).3 This study extends such work beyond the context of mainland Australia to examine the Chinese diasporic experience within an even more complex site of cultural pluralism — Thursday Island, in Australia’s north-east.

Woods: The Beginnings of LDS Missionary Work on Thursday Island 105 Making Friends Down Under: The Beginnings of LDS Missionary Work on Thursday Island, Queensland, Australia, 1961 Fred E. Woods The year 2011 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the beginnings of LDS missionary work on Thursday Island. On this jubilee occasion, it is fitting to ask how the message of Mormonism came to this tiny Australian isle and how American Mormon missionaries adapted to a region far removed from their culture and homeland. Using journal entries, letters, and interviews from the first three full-time elders to preach on the island, it is possible to sketch a portrait of what these young men experienced. Known also as simply TI, this island in the Torres Strait serves as a com- mercial and administrative center of the Torres Strait Islands—twenty islands with about twenty-five thousand inhabitants who mostly make their living from fishing and the pearl industry.1 TI is twenty-four miles from the north coast of the Cape York Peninsula in the state of Queensland, Australia.
