  • Chapter 6 the Impediments
    6 The impediments Education 6.1 Education is not only an issue for remote areas as the lack of education was also a key issue for Indigenous urban youths in Alice Springs: … not necessarily because it is not available to them but because there are a lot of other factors in their life, such as their culture and peer pressure, which is a big one, which stop Aboriginal kids from continuing on at school. There are a lot of factors that cause them to leave school early and be virtually unemployable.1 6.2 There is a lack of awareness within communities as to where an education can take people.2 Aboriginal children have a problem linking education with employment outcomes and a lot are leaving in year 9.3 The Circular Head Aboriginal Corporation found the key to be an understanding of the need to have numeracy and literacy skills.4 1 Mayor Fran Kilgariff, Alice Springs Town Council, Transcript of Evidence, 12 July 2005, p. 12. 2 Mr Lester Davis, Manager, Learning and Development, Newmont Australia Ltd, Transcript of Evidence, 27 October 2005, p. 35; Queensland Government, Submission No. 105, p. 5 3 Mr Warren Mundine, Chief Executive Officer, New South Wales Native Title Services, Transcript of Evidence, 10 February 2006, p. 36. 4 Circular Head Aboriginal Corporation, Submission No. 25, p. 2. 134 INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIANS AT WORK Numeracy and literacy 6.3 The fundamental issue that was raised throughout this inquiry was the frustration of employers attempting to meet targets and skills shortages and the need to provide literacy and numeracy training

  • Warren Mundine Was Not Recommended for the SBS Board
    _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Warren Mundine was not recommended for the SBS board, but the Coalition chose him anyway The former Liberal candidate was handpicked by the government and had not been put forward by the independent nominations panel Warren Mundine was appointed to the SBS board in October 2020. Amanda Meade Wed 4 Nov 2020 The Morrison government handpicked unsuccessful Liberal candidate Warren Mundine to sit on the SBS board for five years, overlooking the recommendations of the independent nominations panel. The minister for communications, Paul Fletcher, said Mundine was a distinguished Australian and an advocate for Indigenous people when appointing him as a non- executive director of the multicultural public broadcaster on 31 October. “He will be a valuable addition to the SBS board, bringing over 40 years of experience in roles across government, business and the community sector,” Fletcher said. When announcing the appointment, the minister said the government had “followed the legislated process for making this appointment, including considering the report of the independent nomination panel”. But a spokesman for Fletcher has clarified that Mundine was handpicked by the government and not recommended by the independent nominations panel. 2 “Warren Mundine was not included in the list of recommended nominees by the nomination panel; however, it is open to the minister under section 43B of the SBS Act to recommend a nominee other than as recommended by the panel,” the spokesman told Guardian Australia. Mundine is closely aligned with conservative politics and has been a columnist and presenter with News Corp and is chairman of Liberty Works and the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

  • Warren Mundine: Labor's Great Black Hope
    Labor's great black hope Warren Mundine took the road of education to rise above poverty and disadvantage. Preparing to become the Labor Party's national president, he tells Bruce Stannard of his wish to free the six out of 10 indigenous Australians still caught, like some whites, in welfare dependency 31st December 2005 NEXT month, when Warren Mundine succeeds Barry Jones as national president of the Australian Labor Party, he will become the most prominent Aboriginal person in the country. But in the teeth of vehement Left opposition within the ALP and the Aboriginal community, Mundine has cut his controversial link with the Howard Government as a member of the National Indigenous Council, the advisory body that the Government set up last year to replace the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission abolished early this year. The decision to quit the council, made public this week, has come late and under pressure. Earlier Mundine told Inquirer he "doesn't give a stuff" what his critics say about him and sees no conflict of interest in having the ear of government. At that point, he saw value in trying to influence the Coalition Government's agenda for change from the inside. This week he told a reporter from The Australian: "I still stand by what I said previously, that I think it was the right decision to go on the National Indigenous Council and I support the members of the NIC for the work they're doing and what they are trying to achieve. [But] I've made the commitment now to work for the party, to get us to win 2 the next election in 2007, and I want to do everything that's possible for that to happen.

    DEMYSTIFYING EXCLUSION FROM AN INCLUSIVE LIFESTYLE THE CASE OF SURF INDUSTRY BRANDING Department of service management and service studies Author: Amber Esseline Dors Master thesis (30ECTS) Supervisor: Hervé Corvellec SMMM20, Spring 2020 SMMM20, Spring 2020 | Amber Esseline Dors “Sharing. Because two people can have fun in the waves and smile” -Ruben- 2 SMMM20, Spring 2020 | Amber Esseline Dors Abstract Purpose: This thesis seeks to understand how branding by actors affiliated with a particular industry, i.e. surfing, enact social inclusion or exclusion. Methodology: Empirical data is based on qualitative methods, entailing a triangulation of semiotic analysis of the World Surf League website, World Surf League original series, and semi-structured interviews with surf athletes. A conceptual model is designed based on two emerging concepts about subjective social inclusion and industry branding, which is used as a guiding principal to collect and analyse the data. Results: This thesis answers to the research question: How does branding by actors affiliated with the surfing community enact social inclusion or exclusion? Empirical data demonstrates that branding does not play an essential role in the social inclusiveness of local surfing communities. Not least, marketing communication executed by the biggest representative actors (e.g. WSL), does enact social exclusion and reduces feelings of responsibility among the surf athletes in the institutional context of the surf industry’s brand. Value: The empirical data should be valuable for anyone interested in, or focusing on, sociology or marketing in the leisure or tourism sector. It greatly emphasises the importance and awareness of social inclusion among all actors affiliated with a particular industry for the individuals’ and societal well-being.

  • Chapter 3 Economic Independence
    3 Economic independence 3.1 Economic independence through employment offers the opportunity of owning a property and building one’s own wealth for the next generation. This was clearly articulated by Mr Ernest Brimm who proudly described the achievements of Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park as representing: … the new spirit of freedom that is hopefully growing in the Aboriginal community at large – freedom from dependence on government handouts; freedom from a century of oppression; freedom from the cycle of poverty. We are proud of what we have accomplished.1 Opportunities … opportunities matter. If there are no opportunities, there will be no progress for our people. I am not talking about employment opportunities. That should be a given. I am talking about business opportunities.2 3.2 Indigenous people need opportunities; they are not asking for money. Having the opportunity is what is important. Ms Jody Broun suggested that governments need to consider incentives that encourage enterprises to employ Aboriginal people.3 The Director General of the New South Wales Department of Aboriginal Affairs listed the lack of opportunities 1 Mr Ernest Brimm, Cultural Officer, Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park, Transcript of Evidence, 27 July 2005, p. 5. 2 Mr Daniel Tucker, Managing Director and Owner, Carey Mining Pty Ltd, Transcript of Evidence, 27 October 2005, p. 50. 3 Ms Jody Broun, Director General, Department of Aboriginal Affairs, New South Wales, Transcript of Evidence, 19 August 2006, p. 87. 50 INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIANS AT WORK along with racism as the two impediments to positive employment outcomes for Aboriginal people.4 Affirmative action 3.3 Mr Daniel Tucker of Carey Mining Pty Ltd, strongly believes that the best strategy to increase Aboriginal employment is to assist Aboriginal companies.5 Given opportunities, Aboriginal people would get involved in businesses.6 Mr John Corboy, a successful businessman, described the situation as: Personally, I am not enormously into reconciliation; I am enormously into affirmative action.
