  • Bruny Life, Survey Responses
    A: Community 2018 Bruny Life Community Survey – Respondent Comments My experience with the community has been very positive in that all BI's we have met have been helpful and friendly. I have been accepted and welcomed by many people on Bruny. There are all sorts of avenues for a new comer to slot in if you are willing to make a small effort. 99% of our community are amazing. The small amount of power trippers who try hard to intimidate people they haven’t even met are the reason why some of us don’t want to go to community meetings. There also needs to be a way working, flat out people and families can give input without having to attend meetings. I think social media would be a great way I have good friends but privacy/trust amongst the community is still an issue for me. The rumour mill/gossip can be rampant and damaging so it does stop me from fully participating and "putting what I think" out there. At times I think there is a lack of respect for a difference of opinion. Sometimes groups seem to have difficulty reaching agreement over matters - debate is healthy but sometimes it seems paralysing, disrespectful and damaging on a personal level. There have been some wonderful community leaders emerge. There are many positive social activities on the island that help break down barriers between people/groups/sectors of the community. It seems quite "us" and "them". If you haven't been an island resident for a long time or have a strong history with the island then you seem to be on the outer.

How do they think of the dead body and of their human remains? This work examines the intersection of different cultural, biological and legal concepts of authenticity and belonging as these concepts come into focus as the stake of disputes over Aboriginal remains. In claiming remains, Tasmanians engage a complex set of discursive practices in which the aboriginal body is denoted, performed and negotiated in various ways as the sign of ancestral rights.

  • Black and White Children in Welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940
    ‘Such a Longing’ Black and white children in welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940 Naomi Parry PhD August 2007 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Parry First name: Naomi Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: History Faculty: Arts and Social Sciences Title: ‘Such a longing’: Black and white children in welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940 Abstract 350 words maximum: When the Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission tabled Bringing them home, its report into the separation of indigenous children from their families, it was criticised for failing to consider Indigenous child welfare within the context of contemporary standards. Non-Indigenous people who had experienced out-of-home care also questioned why their stories were not recognised. This thesis addresses those concerns, examining the origins and history of the welfare systems of NSW and Tasmania between 1880 and 1940. Tasmania, which had no specific policies on race or Indigenous children, provides fruitful ground for comparison with NSW, which had separate welfare systems for children defined as Indigenous and non-Indigenous. This thesis draws on the records of these systems to examine the gaps between ideology and policy and practice. The development of welfare systems was uneven, but there are clear trends. In the years 1880 to 1940 non-Indigenous welfare systems placed their faith in boarding-out (fostering) as the most humane method of caring for neglected and destitute children, although institutions and juvenile apprenticeship were never supplanted by fostering. Concepts of child welfare shifted from charity to welfare; that is, from simple removal to social interventions that would assist children's reform.
