  • A Native Title Information Talk Delivered at Fernvale Futures on 22 February 2014. Tim Wishart Slide 1 I Acknowledge and Offer M
    A Native Title Information Talk Delivered at Fernvale Futures on 22 February 2014. Tim Wishart Slide 1 I acknowledge and offer my respect to the country on which we meet and to the Traditional Owners of this country and to their Old People and Elders. The organisation for which I work, Queensland South Native Title Services is a native title service provider recognised and funded by the Federal Government under the Native Title Act (1993). Slide 2 The area for which QSNTS has statutory recognition under the Native Title Act covers an area spanning Queensland, along the New South Wales border from the Coral Sea to the South Australian border, north to about 250 kilometres north of Mt Isa and running diagonally south eastwards to the coast, marginally south of Sarina. Slide 3 I ought to say that views and opinions expressed are mine and are not necessarily reflective of corporate views or policy of QSNTS. In this conversation I will refer to the Native Title Act as ‘the Act’. But in the consciousness of Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander society, the expression “the Act” is often a reference to The Aboriginal Protection and Restrictions of the Sale of Opium Act 1897. That legislation was an Act of the Queensland Parliament. As a result of dispersal, malnutrition, use of opium and diseases, all a consequence of European incursion into traditional lands coupled with the attempted genocide that came with that incursion, it was widely believed in Queensland that Aborigines were members of a 'dying race'. In 1894 pressure from some quarters of the community saw the Queensland Government commission Archibald Meston to look at what had conveniently, for the colonising power, become the plight of Aboriginal people.

  • Evolution of Rights to Self-Determinism of Aboriginal People: a Comparative Analysis of Land Rights Reforms in Australia Alex Sadler, Divya Gupta Bowdoin College
    Indigenous Policy Journal Vol. XXIX, No. 3 (Winter 2019) Evolution of Rights to Self-Determinism of Aboriginal People: A Comparative Analysis of Land Rights Reforms in Australia Alex Sadler, Divya Gupta Bowdoin College Abstract Despite Australia’s ratification of the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) in 2009, Aboriginal peoples continue to face obstacles in exercising their inherent rights to self-determination and to free, prior and informed consent regarding the development of their traditional land. Recent decades have seen advancements in legislation and government-backed programming to support the recognition of Aboriginal peoples’ land rights; however, the current framework often fails to achieve meaningful outcomes for impacted communities. This paper provides an overview of Australia’s current legislative and programming efforts to secure Aboriginal peoples’ land rights, evaluating the benefits and downsides to each initiative from a rights- based perspective, with the aim of promoting productive discourse on pathways to protecting and implementing the rights enshrined in the UNDRIP. Introduction In 2009, Australia ratified the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), after being one of only four countries to vote against its adoption in 2007. In reversing its decision, Australia symbolically demonstrated its commitment to the global shift towards the recognition of indigenous peoples’ inherent rights, which as the Declaration outlines derive from “their political, economic and social structures and from their cultures, spiritual traditions, histories and philosophies.” (United Nations, 2008) Although the UNDRIP covers a range of rights, from culture and identity to employment and education, a core focus of the agreement is the right of indigenous peoples to determine the development of their people and traditional land according to their own needs and interests.

  • Miller, Jessica
    Jessica Miller, M NRM 19 March 2018 Independent Scientific Panel Inquiry Locked Bag 33 Cloisters Square PERTH WA 6850 Submission to the WA Fracking Inquiry To whom it may concern, I am writing in response to the Independent Scientific Panel’s call for public submissions as part of the Inquiry into Hydraulic Fracture Stimulation in Western Australia 2017 (Fracking Inquiry). My expertise is in natural resource management, cultural resource management, ecology, and strategic environmental impact assessment and regulation (including working in the Australian Government on coal seam gas mining monitoring and audit). I am currently undertaking a Master of Philosophy research degree with The University of Queensland, focusing on the ecological impacts of forest roads for coal seam gas development on bird communities. As part of this research I am also reviewing the extent to which enigmatic impacts (e.g. cryptic, cumulative and indirect and secondary impacts) are accounted for in the Environmental Impact Statements of Australian coal seam gas developments. In addition, I currently work as an ecologist and environmental-cultural management expert for Environs Kimberley, based in Broome WA. Below I address a number of points within the Fracking Inquiry Terms of Reference, namely: the potential ecological impacts of fracking in WA; impacts on human health and wellbeing; and the extent to which such industries can be adequately regulated by governments. These points are made based on my own expertise as well as peer reviewed literature and government reports. As I do not have the resources to undertake a thorough literature review of all matters discussed here, I have included a range of resources I think should also be considered as part of my submission, and represent an introduction to the matters raised.
