For the fifth year in a row the Court’s workload in its core criminal jurisdiction increased. Despite the increase, the court improved the clearance rates in both its criminal and civil jurisdictions. The criminal clearance rate, adult and juvenile combined, increased by one per cent to 101.5 per cent. Similarly, the clearance rates in all of the Court’s civil jurisdictions exceeded 100 per cent. In other words, the Court continued to clear more matters than it received, reducing the pending caseload. The magnitude of this achievement may be gauged from a comparison with other jurisdictions, based on the most recent Report on Government Services (RoGS) for the 2008-09 financial year. Although Queensland had the equal lowest (with NSW) ratio of magistrates across all States, with 1.6 magistrates per 100,000 people compared to the national average of 1.9, it had the highest number of criminal finalisations of all the States, and the third highest number of civil finalisations after New South His Honour Judge Brendan Butler AM SC Wales and Victoria. Chief Magistrate The magistrates The achievement of the Court in dealing with this heavy workload is due to the industry shown by its hardworking magistrates, acting magistrates and judicial registrars. In the reporting year, the total number of magistrates remained steady at 87. The year commenced with one position vacant, and during the year two magistrates retired, one resigned and four magistrates were appointed. Magistrates are located in 32 centres and circuit to a further 86 court locations throughout the length and breadth of Queensland. 4 | Magistrates Court of Queensland | Annual Report 2009–2010 When magistrates take leave, relief is provided from the Professional development ranks of acting magistrates. Of the 30 acting magistrates as at 30 June 2010, 12 were retired magistrates and the The quality of decision making in the Magistrates Court remainder were legally qualified experienced registrars is dependant on the knowledge and expertise of its of the Court. magistrates. Ongoing professional development is crucial to the maintenance of the Court’s high standards. In Townsville and Southport a judicial registrar’s position provides support to the magistrates. At the This year has seen the enhancement of opportunities beginning of the year there were four judicial registrar for magistrates to engage in professional development positions, but with the loss of some jurisdiction to the activities and to participate in the governance of their Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) on Court. 1 December 2009 that number was reduced to two. In addition to the Annual Conference, Regional Conferences were reinstituted. These were of one and a half days duration and allowed magistrates and acting Contribution by female magistrates to discuss legal issues of importance in magistrates their regions and to participate in legal development sessions in core jurisdictions. Of the four new magistrates appointed this year, two were women. These Regional Conferences, held at Townsville, Ipswich and Brisbane, were judged to be highly successful. Much has changed in regard to the participation of women in the Court during the past two decades. The first woman appointed a magistrate in Queensland was Murri courts Grace Kruger in 1990. The second, Magistrate Donna The Murri Courts, where indigenous elders sit with and MacCallum, was appointed in 1991.

Durithunga – Growing, nurturing, challenging and supporting urban Indigenous leadership in education i Language Weaves As highlighted in the following thesis, there are a number of key words and phrases that are typographically different from the rest of the thesis writing. Shifts in font and style are used to accent Indigenous world view and give clear signification to the higher order thought and conceptual processing of words and their deeper meaning within the context of this thesis (Martin, 2008). For ease of transition into this thesis, I have created the “Language Weaves” list of key words and phrases that flow through the following chapters. The list below has been woven in Migloo alphabetical order. The challenge, as I explore in detail in Chapter 5 of this thesis, is for next generations of Indigenous Australian writers to relay textual information in the languages of our people from our unique tumba tjinas. Dissecting my language usage in this way and creating a Language Weaves list has been very challenging, but is part of sharing the unique messages of this Indigenous Education field research to a broader, non- Indigenous and international audience. The following weaves list consists of words taken directly from the thesis.

    EUROCENTRIC VALUES AT PLAY MODDING THE COLONIAL FROM THE INDIGENOUS PERSPECTIVE RHETT LOBAN AND THOMAS APPERLEY Indigenous people and cultures are rarely included in digital games, and if they are it is often in a rather thoughtless manner. The indigenous peoples and cultures of many parts of the world have been portrayed in digital games in several ways that show little respect or understanding of the important issues these populations face. For example, in the Australian-made Ty the Tasmanian Tiger (Electronic Arts, 2002), Australian Aboriginal people are completely absent, replaced by anthropomorphized indigenous animals some of whom wear traditional face paint, while the plot involves rescuing other animals from the “dreamtime.” So while a secularized white settler version of Aboriginal culture is a core part of the game, the people are absent. The controversial mobile game Survival Island 3: Australia Story (NIL Entertainment, 2015), was removed from the Google Play and Apple stores in January 2016, largely because of an online petition that was concerned the game encouraged violence against indigenous Australians. The game portrayed Aboriginal people as “savages” who contributed to the difficulty of surviving in the Australian outback. Other games have appropriated indigenous iconography and culture, like Mark of Kri (Sony Computer Entertainment, 2002) which used traditional Māori (the indigenous people of Aotearoa/New Zealand) facial tattoo or Tā moko on characters in the game. These examples are disappointing, and seem to represent a common 1 occurrence in commercial non-indigenous media. However, there have also recently been a number of critically acclaimed commercial gaming projects which deal with indigenous culture and issues from an indigenous perspective, for example the game Never Alone/Kisima Inŋitchuŋa (E-Line Media, 2014), made by Upper One Games in partnership with 2 Alaska’s Cook Inlet Tribal Council.

As a consequence of their different origins, populations, legal status, administrations and rates of growth, the post-contact western and eastern Muan communities followed different historical trajectories. This chapter traces the history of Mua, linking events with the family connections which always existed but were down-played until the second half of the 20th century.

  • A Thesis Submitted by Dale Wayne Kerwin for the Award of Doctor of Philosophy 2020
    SOUTHWARD MOVEMENT OF WATER – THE WATER WAYS A thesis submitted by Dale Wayne Kerwin For the award of Doctor of Philosophy 2020 Abstract This thesis explores the acculturation of the Australian landscape by the First Nations people of Australia who named it, mapped it and used tangible and intangible material property in designing their laws and lore to manage the environment. This is taught through song, dance, stories, and paintings. Through the tangible and intangible knowledge there is acknowledgement of the First Nations people’s knowledge of the water flows and rivers from Carpentaria to Goolwa in South Australia as a cultural continuum and passed onto younger generations by Elders. This knowledge is remembered as storyways, songlines and trade routes along the waterways; these are mapped as a narrative through illustrations on scarred trees, the body, engravings on rocks, or earth geographical markers such as hills and physical features, and other natural features of flora and fauna in the First Nations cultural memory. The thesis also engages in a dialogical discourse about the paradigm of 'ecological arrogance' in Australian law for water and environmental management policies, whereby Aqua Nullius, Environmental Nullius and Economic Nullius is written into Australian laws. It further outlines how the anthropocentric value of nature as a resource and the accompanying humanistic technology provide what modern humans believe is the tool for managing ecosystems. In response, today there is a coming together of the First Nations people and the new Australians in a shared histories perspective, to highlight and ensure the protection of natural values to land and waterways which this thesis also explores.
