PAGE 04 DEADLY ART AWARD WINNER PAGE 05 DEADLY ART AWARD WINNER PAGE 06 LIN ONUS AWARD WINNER PAGE 07 LIN ONUS AWARD WINNER PAGE 08 Adrian Austin | Blue Streaks of Light 2005 | Oil on canvas | 61 x 51cm | Gunditjmara At the moment I like working with abstract imagery that flows from my mind. This is a spiritual painting. The face of a Dreaming spirit is included in the body of the painting. I don’t think about painting, it just comes out. Painting comes naturally, but only when I get in the mood to paint. It just happens. Painting takes a lot out of me as there is a spiritual element in my paintings. It’s not a reproduced style; it’s my own art, every time. DEADLY ART AWARD FINALIST PAGE 09 Lorraine Austin | Encounter 2005 | Oil on canvas | 120 x 120cm | Palawa My paintings deal with submission, a consequence of violence – the site of the body as the object and the surface. My work is a dialogue that describes desire and violence of experience – a site of action, an abstract aerial map. Desire and violence record history; violence changes into desire. There is an aesthetic violence that comes from a marginalised and abused site. This painting is an abstraction of desire rather than images of violent events. The painting records its own fragmented history. DEADLY ART AWARD FINALIST PAGE 10 Mandi Barton | Pathways to culture 2005 | Synthetic polymer paint on canvas | 100 x 75cm | Yorta Yorta In the middle of the painting is the river running through Yorta Yorta country. The circles represent clans and family groups. There are canoes and tracks, which depict the crossing of the river for ceremonies and bartering. On the land there are also tracks leading to the river and other clans. The freedom to be able to express my connection with my culture, along with the ability to pass that down to my children, inspires me. I think my art is different and unique, but I do tend towards representing traditional cultural values in my work. LIN ONUS AWARD FINALIST PAGE 11 Kunda-Beamo | Rock Art 2005 | Acrylic on canvas | 100 x 75cm | Yamagi This work was inspired by a vision of ancient cave paintings. I have painted the images of animals on a cave. The sun is setting and has lit up the cave producing a vibrant colourful display. My work represents people, elders, spirits, dancers and animals portrayed in a combination of both contemporary and traditional techniques. DEADLY ART AWARD FINALIST PAGE 12 Turbo Brown | Kookaburras being cheeky to kangaroos 2005 | Acrylic on canvas | 91 x 123cm | Latje Latje This painting shows an early morning in Halls Gap.

  • The Gunditjmara Land Justice Story Jessica K Weir
    The legal outcomes the Gunditjmara achieved in the 1980s are often overlooked in the history of land rights and native title in Australia. The High Court Onus v Alcoa case and the subsequent settlement negotiated with the State of Victoria, sit alongside other well known bench marks in our land rights history, including the Gurindji strike (also known as the Wave Hill Walk-Off) and land claim that led to the development of land rights legislation in the Northern Territory. This publication links the experiences in the 1980s with the Gunditjmara’s present day recognition of native title, and considers the possibilities and limitations of native title within the broader context of land justice.

Protocols are simply the ways in which you work with people, and communicate and collaborate with them appropriately. They are a guide to assist you with ways in which you can work, communicate and collaborate with the Indigenous community of Western Sydney. A wealth of Indigenous protocols documentation already exists (see Section 9), but to date the practice of following them is not widespread. Protocols are also standards of behaviour, respect and knowledge that need to be adopted. You might even think of them as a code of manners to observe, rather than a set of rules to obey.

The event of dancing is witnessed to by a watercolour by Lieutenant William Bradley, ‘View in Broken Bay New South Wales March 1788’, which is reproduced by Clendinnen as both a plate and a dustcover.4 By ‘The Australians’ Clendinnen means the Aboriginal pop- ulation. But, of course, Aboriginality is not an Aboriginal concept but an Imperial one. As Sonja Kurtzer writes: ‘The concept of Aboriginality did not even exist before the coming of the European’.5 And as for the terra nullius to which the British came, it was always a legal fiction. All this taken in, one sees why Clendinnen calls the First People ‘The Australians’, leaving most of those with the current passport very much Second People. But: winner has taken, almost, all. The Eddie Mabo case6 exploded terra nullius, but most of the ‘nobody’s land’ now still belongs to the Second People.

Queensland II’s1 recognition of Indigenous peoples’ rights to their traditional lands, the jurisprudence of native title has undergone significant development. The High Court of Australia decisions in Ward2 and Yorta Yorta3 in 2002 sought to clarify the nature of native title and its place within Australian property law, and within the legal system more generally. Since these decisions, lower courts have had time to apply them to native title issues across the country. This Article briefly examines the history of the doctrine of discovery in Australia as a background to the delayed recognition of Indigenous rights in lands and resources.
