Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg) (10:33): I move: That this bill be now read a second time. I move the University of Adelaide (Trust Property) Amendment Bill with a heavy heart. However, it is supported by the Liberal opposition and I am pleased to have its support. It is a bill to amend the University of Adelaide Act 1971. Members will be aware that the University of Adelaide was established by an act of this parliament, the first in South Australia and the third in Australia. It has a proud and respected history as an institution in this state. In 2003, the structure and independence of the governance of our universities was debated as a result of introduced bills for our three public universities in South Australia by then minister Lomax-Smith and supported by the opposition. An essential element of that bill was to provide greater autonomy in the handling of the university's own affairs, including its financial affairs and, in particular, the capacity to be able to buy, sell, lease, encumber or deal with its assets, and particularly real property. However, the reform retained in it an obligation to secure cabinet approval for very substantial property it owned, including the North Terrace precinct, Roseworthy and Waite campuses.

    Citizens' Jury

    SUNDAY VERSION South Australia’s Citizens’ Jury on Nuclear Waste Final Report November 2016 “Under what circumstances, if any, could South Australia pursue the opportunity to store and dispose of nuclear waste from other countries?” Jury Summary Statement The Citizens Jury would like to Acknowledge that we have been meeting on Kaurna land and we pay our respects to the Traditional owners, past and present, across South Australia. The jury generally had a strong conviction in taking a position one way or another. Two thirds of the jury do not wish to pursue the opportunity under any circumstances and one third support a commitment to pursue under the circumstances outlined in this report. Introduction: Citizen’s Jury 2 (CJ2) was a group of 350 residents of South Australia who were brought together under the remit of discussing and reporting on the question: “Under what circumstances, if any, could South Australia pursue the opportunity to store and dispose of high level nuclear waste from other countries?”. To be clear, the jury considered only high-level nuclear waste. The people on Citizen’s Jury Two were selected to be broadly representative of the population of South Australia based on demographics (as best as was possible based on the responses to the initial invitation to take part). The 50 jurors from Citizen’s Jury One were also invited back to be part of the second jury process and approximately 30 of them decided to take part in the second jury. On the first day of the jury, we established some guiding principles for how we should approach the process.
  • Dialogue and Indigenous Policy in Australia

    Dialogue and Indigenous Policy in Australia

    Dialogue and Indigenous Policy in Australia Darryl Cronin A thesis in fulfilment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Social Policy Research Centre Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences September 2015 ABSTRACT My thesis examines whether dialogue is useful for negotiating Indigenous rights and solving intercultural conflict over Indigenous claims for recognition within Australia. As a social and political practice, dialogue has been put forward as a method for identifying and solving difficult problems and for promoting processes of understanding and accommodation. Dialogue in a genuine form has never been attempted with Indigenous people in Australia. Australian constitutionalism is unable to resolve Indigenous claims for recognition because there is no practice of dialogue in Indigenous policy. A key barrier in that regard is the underlying colonial assumptions about Indigenous people and their cultures which have accumulated in various ways over the course of history. I examine where these assumptions about Indigenous people originate and demonstrate how they have become barriers to dialogue between Indigenous people and governments. I investigate historical and contemporary episodes where Indigenous people have challenged those assumptions through their claims for recognition. Indigenous people have attempted to engage in dialogue with governments over their claims for recognition but these attempts have largely been rejected on the basis of those assumptions. There is potential for dialogue in Australia however genuine dialogue between Indigenous people and the Australian state is impossible under a colonial relationship. A genuine dialogue must first repudiate colonial and contemporary assumptions and attitudes about Indigenous people. It must also deconstruct the existing colonial relationship between Indigenous people and government.

    – Media Release – Collaborative Exhibition Opens at the South Australian Museum As Part of Tarnanthi

    – Media Release – Collaborative exhibition opens at the South Australian Museum as part of Tarnanthi Still in my mind: Gurindji location, experience and visuality presented by Artback NT opens this Friday, 18 October at the South Australian Museum, as part of Tarnanthi: Festival of Contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art. The exhibition reflects on the enduring impacts of dispossession and displacement, including those of a pivotal land rights event, the 1966–75 Gurindji ‘walk-off’. Gurindji/Malngin Leader Vincent Lingiari led over 200 countrymen, women and children off Wave Hill Station to protest slave labour conditions and human rights abuse. “Although other protest and strike actions had taken place preceding the 1966 Gurindji Walk-Off, it was arguably the birth of the national land rights movement in Australia. The events of this time and place have significance for me as a Gurindji/Malngin/Mudburra woman, through my direct family connection to the area, and through my family’s experience as members of the Stolen Generations,” said Brenda L. Croft, curator and participating artist. Croft developed the exhibition through practice-led research with her father’s community, Karungkarni Art and Culture Aboriginal Corporation, UNSW Galleries and UNSW Art & Design. As a part of this, Croft retraced the Gurindji ‘walk-off’ steps in homage to those before her, who made the 22-kilometre journey half a century ago. “I was motivated to develop this exhibition in partnership with Karungkarni artists and Gurindji community members in tribute to those whose profound communal act of courage, resilience and determination changed the course of history.” Croft said.

    PE_CB_6707 Rising Spirits: Final Report - Appendices APPENDIX A EXEMPLARY SUPPORT PROGRAMS Small local Aboriginal community controlled programs The following programs were initiated by Aboriginal people themselves. They operated around a holistic concept of social and emotional wellbeing and have high Aboriginal community engagement. Rosemary Wanageen through her Institute of Loss and Grief does individual and family counselling and runs workshops. She does a great deal of outreach work in rural and remote areas and is highly sought after. She charges a fee-for-service because her program is not eligible for Medicare rebates. Often, government services and ACCHS pay her fee on behalf of Aboriginal clients. Warna Manda Aboriginal Women’s Corporation, in Pt Lincoln, offers bush trips and camps on country as a healing process for people which include creative activities, cooking and walking. These are free of charge. Garridja developed by respected Narungga elder Tauto Sansbury works in partnership with local Aboriginal organisations, Elders and schools to run camps for Aboriginal youth with a suicide prevention intent and focussing on connecting with culture and finding identity. Aboriginal men’s, women’s, elders, and youth support groups are considered by some health practitioners to be as important to healing of grief and loss as counselling support. However, many of these groups are inadequately funded, some being funded by financial left-overs of other programs. Most of the ACCHS have one or two such groups as do: o Kura Yerlo which is an incorporated centre offering a range of programs including healing, men’s , Elder’s and youth support groups, and child care.
