Welcome I would particularly like to welcome our many distinguished guests, the Rt Hon Dame Sian Elias GNZM, Chief Justice of New Zealand, the Hon Terry Higgins AO, Chief Justice of the ACT, the Hon Justice Geoffrey Nettle representing the Supreme Court of Victoria, the Hon Justice Roslyn Atkinson representing the Supreme Court of Queensland, Mr Malcolm McCusker AO, the Governor Designate, the Hon Justice Stephen Thackray, Chief Judge of the Family Court of WA, His Honour Judge Peter Martino, Chief Judge of the District Court, President Denis Reynolds of the Children's Court, the Hon Justice Neil McKerracher of the Federal Court of Australia and many other distinguished guests too numerous to mention. The Chief Justice of Australia, the Hon Robert French AC had planned to join us, but those plans have been thwarted by a cloud of volcanic ash. We are, however, very pleased that Her Honour Val French is able to join us. I should also mention that the Chief Justice of New South Wales, the Hon Tom Bathurst, is unable to be present this afternoon, but will be attending the commemorative dinner to be held tomorrow evening.

Between 1840 and 1907, over 10,000 dromedary camels were imported to Australia, and today feral populations number well over a million. Although contemporary Aboriginal hunters in Australia’‘s Western and Central Deserts regularly encounter camels, they rarely pursue them. We present data on camel encounter and pursuit rates, with comparisons of energetic search and handling efficiency relative to other foraging options among Martu, the Traditional Owners of a large region of the Western Desert. We then explore some hypotheses concerning the determinants of prey rank and the technological and social contexts that influence resource value. In some respects the case runs counter to common ex- pectations about hunting large ungulates, and highlights the special kinds of opportunity costs that large game acquisition might entail in many contexts.

Dissertation presented to the Faculty of Arts of the University of Glasgow in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Glasgow March 1996 Page 2 Abstract Academic work on Aboriginality in popular media has, understandably, been largely written in defensive registers. Aware of horrendous histories of Aboriginal murder, dispossession and pitying understanding at the hands of settlers, writers are worried about the effects of raced representation; and are always concerned to identify those texts which might be labelled racist. In order to make such a search meaningful, though, it is necessary to take as axiomatic certain propositions about the functioning of films: that they 'mean' in particular and stable ways, for example; and that sophisticated reading strategies can fully account for the possible ways a film interacts with audiences.

  • The Stolen Generations and Genocide: Robert Manne’S in Denial: the Stolen Generations and the Right
    The Stolen Generations and genocide: Robert Manne’s In denial: the Stolen Generations and the Right Bain Attwood In recent years many Australians have been troubled over two words or terms, the Sto- len Generations and genocide, and no more so than when they have appeared in tandem, as they did in the report of the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Com- mission’s inquiry into the separation of Aboriginal children, Bringing Them Home,1 and the inquiry that gave rise to it.2 Subsequently many conservatives have increased their attacks upon so-called black armband history and particularly the Stolen Generations narrative.3 This assault gathered momentum during 1999 and 2000, eventually provok- ing the political commentator and historian Robert Manne to pen In denial: the Stolen Generations and the Right, an essay in which, to quote the publicists for this new venture in Australian publishing, the Australian Quarterly Essay, he sets out to ‘demolish’ these critics and their ‘demolition’ of the history presented by Bringing Them Home.4 Manne, as he makes abundantly clear throughout In denial, is not only convinced there is ‘a growing atmosphere of right-wing and populist resistance to discussion of historical injustice and the Aborigines’ in Australia today; he also believes there has been ‘an orchestrated campaign’ by a ‘small right-wing intelligentsia’ to ‘change the moral and political balance … with regard to the Aboriginal question as a whole’ and ‘the issue of the Stolen Generations’ in particular. Manne also fears this has been effec- tive, creating ‘scepticism and outright disbelief’ among ‘a highly receptive audience’.5 1.
