    EUROCENTRIC VALUES AT PLAY MODDING THE COLONIAL FROM THE INDIGENOUS PERSPECTIVE RHETT LOBAN AND THOMAS APPERLEY Indigenous people and cultures are rarely included in digital games, and if they are it is often in a rather thoughtless manner. The indigenous peoples and cultures of many parts of the world have been portrayed in digital games in several ways that show little respect or understanding of the important issues these populations face. For example, in the Australian-made Ty the Tasmanian Tiger (Electronic Arts, 2002), Australian Aboriginal people are completely absent, replaced by anthropomorphized indigenous animals some of whom wear traditional face paint, while the plot involves rescuing other animals from the “dreamtime.” So while a secularized white settler version of Aboriginal culture is a core part of the game, the people are absent. The controversial mobile game Survival Island 3: Australia Story (NIL Entertainment, 2015), was removed from the Google Play and Apple stores in January 2016, largely because of an online petition that was concerned the game encouraged violence against indigenous Australians. The game portrayed Aboriginal people as “savages” who contributed to the difficulty of surviving in the Australian outback. Other games have appropriated indigenous iconography and culture, like Mark of Kri (Sony Computer Entertainment, 2002) which used traditional Māori (the indigenous people of Aotearoa/New Zealand) facial tattoo or Tā moko on characters in the game. These examples are disappointing, and seem to represent a common 1 occurrence in commercial non-indigenous media. However, there have also recently been a number of critically acclaimed commercial gaming projects which deal with indigenous culture and issues from an indigenous perspective, for example the game Never Alone/Kisima Inŋitchuŋa (E-Line Media, 2014), made by Upper One Games in partnership with 2 Alaska’s Cook Inlet Tribal Council.

This chapter traces the history of Mua, linking events with the family connections which always existed but were down-played until the second half of the 20th century.

Major judicial and arbitral decisions, such as the North Sea Conti- nental Shelf cases'' before the International Court of Justice and the Anglo- French Continental Shelf arbitration.l have gone some way to developing a body of relevant law to assist states in the solution of their maritime boundary problems. These decisions have clarified some of the relevant factors that states should take into account, but major boundary problems remain.

    The Torres Strait Islands: Constitutional and Sovereignty Questions Post- Mabo

    The Torres Strait Islands: Constitutional and Sovereignty Questions Post- Mabo Stuart BKaye Tutor in Law, Faculty of Law, The University ofSydney.* 1. Background The Torres Strait Treaty1 is often cited by publicists as being one of the most creative maritime boundary agreements in the world. With its separation ofthe fisheries and sea­ bed jurisdiction lines, its unique Protected Zone which seeks to preserve the way of life of the traditional inhabitants of the region, and its allocation of fisheries resources,2 it is often held up as a model indicating the way complex issues can be resolved and en­ trenched points ofview satisfied in maritime boundary disputes. This article will seek to critically examine one relatively minor aspect of the Treaty, specifically Australian rec­ ognition of Papua New Guinea (PNG) sovereignty over three small islands in the north ofTorres Strait. Torres Strait separates the northern tip of the Australian continent, Cape York Penin­ sula,3 from the island of New Guinea, and is approximately seventy miles across. The Strait is dotted with small islands which are, virtually without exception, all under Aus­ tralian control. The quite sizeable and inhabited Australian islands ofSaibai and Boigu lie scarcely a mile or two off the PNG coast, separated by waters that are claimed by some to be so shallow as to pennit a person to wade from one country to the other. This curious situation came about last century, before British annexation of the south-east portion of the island of New Guinea, at a time when Queensland was most anxious to ensure the Strait would not fall under the control of another European power, as well as to protect the natives of the Torres Strait Islands from violence, and to prevent the islands being used to evade Queensland revenue and immigration law.
