A. the Australian Government's Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic; and B Select Committee on COVID-19 to inquiry into the Australian Government’s response to the COVID- 19 pandemic. (June 2020) ‘concerned Australians’ cA a. the Australian Government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic; and b. any related matters. 'concerned Australians' formed following the 2007 Northern Territory (NT) Intervention. We work to allow First Nations voices to be heard, especially those of the NT. We value the opportunity to contribute to this COVID 19 inquiry on the Australian Government’s response and related matters. Aboriginal organisations and leaders, and grassroots community First Nation and Clan leaders are too often ignored, denied or not heard. We believe that it is imperative that decisions must be made with First Nations people and that any future COVID responses and other polices must involve local decision making. On April 24th this year one of the most senior leaders in East Arnhemland Djirrikaymirr of the Djambarrpuyngu Nation of Yolgnu people, Yingiya Mark Guyula MLA Independent member of Nhulunbuy, NT expressed his frustration not being heard , on this occasion due to technical issues, which is not uncommon in Arnhemland.1 This speech was posted on his Facebook, and it relates to the way Elders and his community wish to work with Governments- the Australian and Territory – in the COVID response, around confusion of this virus, on discrimination in opportunity between homeland and urban centres, and on other matters. Yow bukmak - I called into Parliament Sitting today by phone, due to[COVID] travel restrictions, but was having some technical problems hearing the chamber. This is the speech I wanted to deliver: Madam Speaker Good afternoon everyone. I am having some problems hearing the chamber through the teleconference, so I have been listening to the online stream. Firstly can I thank the many people who are working to protect the Northern Territory and our communities from the threat of Coronavirus. I know people are working hard and are planning and preparing. And this planning and preparing has been very important. Now that we have a little bit of breathing space due to no new infections, I want to encourage everyone to ensure that this planning and preparing is done in consultation with local communities. For example, when we have had calls for more police in our communities or I’ve heard discussions about the Army being used to reinforce social distancing, my response for my communities is: Employ locally – employ our local elders and leaders to work with police. Working side by side. Provide vehicles so they can drive around communities and help to manage the concerns and explain the reasons for Coronavirus regulations. There is a lot of confusion in communities about what is happening, and communities need to be part of the response to this emergency Local decision-making should always be the answer. I don’t agree with the way our Parliament has been sidelined today. … I have continued to raise the issues of high rents, high rates, limited housing, high cost of living for Nhulunbuy over the past few years. But right now, businesses in Nhulunbuy are suffering just like every other town. 1 There is not always reliable internet or phone coverage in remote communities which in itself creates also other difficulties for First Nations residents e.g. ‘of being unable to buy food and fuel, contact medical services, access health records or operate businesses’ . Elcho Island Telstra phone outage at Galiwin'ku leaves NT residents fuming at failing coverage , 31st January 2020. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-01-31/elcho-island-nt-telstra-phone-outage-residents-without-food/11909352 1 Select Committee on COVID-19 to inquiry into the Australian Government’s response to the COVID- 19 pandemic. (June 2020) ‘concerned Australians’ cA Is this government working to ensure that they have the same level of support to survive? In a similar way, the offer of the Home Improvement Scheme is desperately needed in homeland towns and outstations. But we have been left out. At this time, we have seen our families returning home to communities from Darwin. Often supported by Government to travel home. And I am thankful for this program. But our communities that were already overcrowded are now bursting, often with 10 to 15 people living in a 3 bedroom house, and we know that if coronavirus were to come to our communities, this level of overcrowding would be very dangerous. Myself and other elders have been calling for families to move out to homeland towns. These are safe places and we have been calling for this for many years, but now more than ever. Yingiya Guyula Mla, 24 April 2020. The member’s full Speech is at Appendix 1 on other related COVID response concerns , including need for parliamentary scrutiny of bills, concerns for rents, homelands. Partnerships with the Australian Government have been of benefit and are to be commended and encouraged , The Coalition of [Aboriginal] Peaks said the “quick and decisive” efforts of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health organisations has kept Covid-19 from devastating communities so far, and shows that strong partnerships with governments make a big difference to Aboriginal health and safety. The lead convenor of the Coalition … and CEO of the National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (NACCHO)], Pat Turner added, But the virus has exposed the inequality2 between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people on many fronts, the lead convenor of the Coalition of Peaks, May 12 2020. 3 June Oscar AO, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner, recently gave her reflections on returning to country, This crisis has once again shown our resilience and adaptability, the effectiveness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-run organisations and the ability of our communities to come together in times of crisis to achieve great things. We should be rightly proud. An irony But, for me, and for many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, there is also a particular irony in returning to Country. The prevailing policy position for several decades has been to systematically underinvest in, and to close down, homeland communities. The belief among policy makers was that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are ‘better off’ in urban centres. Now we’re being told it’s easier to keep us safe on Country. 4 The Commissioner also spoke of , A wake-up call. And an opportunity 2 Remote communities going without essentials amid lockdown, NT groups say, April 21,2020. https://www.theguardian.com/australia- news/2020/apr/21/remote-communities-going-without-essentials-amid-lockdown-nt-groups-say 3 Closing the gap: Aboriginal groups say coronavirus should not delay new targets, May 12,2020. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/may/12/closing-the-gap-aboriginal-groups-say-coronavirus-should-not-delay-new- targets 4 Coronavirus means traditional homelands may be safest for Indigenous people but it comes with unexpected lessons, May 17th https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-05-17/coronavirus-indigenous-health-safe-homeland-june-oscar/12245728 2 Select Committee on COVID-19 to inquiry into the Australian Government’s response to the COVID- 19 pandemic. (June 2020) ‘concerned Australians’ cA For many, this crisis has been a wake-up call. We must now use it as an opportunity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to emerge from this crisis with new systems for everything from health, to housing and the economy. This is an opportunity for a rethink about how governments invest. It is an opportunity for new conversations and ways of thinking. If we get this right, we can create systems that enable us to close the gap for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples once and for all, so we are never at risk like this again. June Oscar AO 17 May 2020 5 Please refer to the Commissioner’s full article , Appendix 2. The Australian, Territory and Sate Government must know the move back to country placed enormous stress on remote communities and shone a light on inequities and widening gaps. This increase in population caused added strain on community resources. Furthermore, many remote community health clinics rely on fly-in-fly out doctors who were unable to visit due to the pandemic conditions. For community members who required medical services that could not be provided in remote communities, these people have had to remain in town for an extended period which has been difficult for those people and their families. The COVID-19 crisis and the pandemic response has highlighted the issues of overcrowding, the high chronic disease burden borne by remote Indigenous Territorians and the lack of access to basic services. Despite recent efforts and revitalised federal funding agreements, 41.3% of remote households are overcrowded. The health gap between Indigenous and non-indigenous Australian’s has widened on several metrics. The fact that residents of remote communities had to endure such significant restrictions on their liberties, highlights how far we still have to go in ‘closing the gap.’ It would not be necessary to have enacted these restrictions if the underlying social determinants of Indigenous health were addressed, communities were socially and economically empowered, and the vulnerability of the population reduced. COVID Inquiry Sub 66 Danila Dilba , May 2020. A community worker in Maningrida recently noted, As the news of this new kundjak (sickness or disease, in the Kuninjku dialect) trickled into town in the early months of 2020, rumours spread of its imminent arrival. Months later, thanks to the success of the government’s population-movement restrictions and biosecurity laws championed by the local Aboriginal corporations, land councils and regional shires, miraculously there has been no case of COVID-19 in remote Arnhem Land.

I failed in this endeavour. The facts supporting the original theory speak for themselves. Some of the evidence comes from those who stand against the narrative that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples themselves are responsible for the gap between their life expectancy, educational achievement, health and that of others on this continent.

  • 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).

  • Electoral Milestones for Indigenous Australians
    Electoral milestones for Indigenous Australians Updated: 8 April 2019 Electoral milestones for Indigenous Australians Date Milestone Time Aboriginal society was governed by customary lore before handed down by the creative ancestral beings. memory Captain Cook claimed the eastern half of the 1770 Australian continent for Great Britain. The first fleet arrives in Botany Bay, beginning the British colonisation of Australia. The British 1788 government did not recognise or acknowledge traditional Aboriginal ownership of the land. British sovereignty extended to cover the whole of Australia – everyone born in Australia, including 1829 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, became a British subject by birth. First parliamentary elections in Australia (for New South Wales Legislative Council) were held. The 1843 right to vote was limited to men with a freehold valued at £200 or a householder paying rent of £20 per year. The Australian colonies become self governing – all adult (21 years) male British subjects were entitled to vote in South Australia from 1856, in Victoria from 1850 + 1857, New South Wales from 1858, and Tasmania from 1896 including Indigenous people. Queensland gained self-government in 1859 and Western Australia in 1890, but these colonies denied Indigenous people the vote. Queensland Elections Act excluded all Indigenous 1885 people from voting. Western Australian law denied the vote to 1893 Indigenous people. All adult females in South Australia, including 1895 Indigenous females, won the right to vote. Commonwealth Constitution came into effect, giving the newly-created Commonwealth Parliament the authority to pass federal voting laws. Section 41 prohibited the Commonwealth Parliament from 1901 denying federal voting rights to any individual who, at the time of the Commonwealth Parliament’s first law on federal voting (passed the following year), was entitled to vote in a state election.

    TREATY IN THE NORTHERN TERRITORY WHAT IS TREATY? HISTORY OF TREATY IN THE NORTHERN TERRITORY WHERE ARE WE UP TO? Find out more antar.org.au/treaty What is Treaty? Treaty can be used to describe a range of agreements between states, nations, governments or people. Treaty can include a single treaty, an overarching treaty with separate side agreements, or multiple treaties with the Northern Territory Government and different Aboriginal groups throughout the Territory. However the Northern Territory may need multiple treaties to be relevant for the lives of individuals and their communities. There may be more than one treaty and more than one Aboriginal group that is a party to a treaty. The Northern Territory’s Government has advised they will openly discuss with Territorians about what treaty means to them and progress a treaty between Aboriginal Territorians and the Government. Discussions with Aboriginal people will determine how they are represented in the treaty making process. “We as a nation must come face to face with our dark and traumatic history. We must confront the impact of A treaty or treaties will set the foundation for colonisation and begin the process of acknowledgment, future agreements between Aboriginal people recognition and healing...

  • 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.
