  • Australia and the Pacific
    AUSTRALIA AND THE PACIFIC: THE AMBIVALENT PLACE OF PACIFIC PEOPLES WITHIN CONTEMPORARY AUSTRALIA Scott William Mackay, BA (Hons), BSc July 2018 Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Australian Indigenous Studies Program School of Culture and Communication The University of Melbourne 0000-0002-5889 – Abstract – My thesis examines the places (real and symbolic) accorded to Pacific peoples within the historical production of an Australian nation and in the imaginary of Australian nationalism. It demonstrates how these places reflect and inform the ways in which Australia engages with the Pacific region, and the extent to which Australia considers itself a part of or apart from the Pacific. While acknowledging the important historical and contemporary differences between the New Zealand and Australian contexts, I deploy theoretical concepts and methods developed within the established field of New Zealand- centred Pacific Studies to identify and analyse what is occurring in the much less studied Australian-Pacific context. In contrast to official Australian discourse, the experiences of Pacific people in Australia are differentiated from those of other migrant communities because of: first, Australia’s colonial and neo-colonial histories of control over Pacific land and people; and second, Pacific peoples' important and unique kinships with Aboriginal Australians. Crucially the thesis emphasises the significant diversity (both cultural and national) of the Pacific experience in Australia. My argument is advanced first by a historicisation of Australia’s formal engagements with Pacific people, detailing intersecting narratives of their migration to Australia and Australia’s colonial and neo- colonial engagements within the Pacific region.

  • Queensland Aboriginal and Islander Health Council
    Submission 026 QAIHC Queensland Aboriginal and Islander Health Council ABN 97 111 116 762 26 October 2012 SUBMISSION TO PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY INTO THE CONTRIBUTION OF SPORT TO INDIGENOUS WELLBEING AND MENTORING Background The Queensland Aboriginal and Islander Health Council (QAIHC) is the state peak body representing community controlled health services across Queensland, and the Queensland affiliate for the National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (NACCHO). Across Queensland there are presently 26 Aboriginal and Islander Community Controlled Health Services (AICCHS), along with several other community controlled substance misuse service providers. The first community controlled service, Brisbane Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Health Service, commenced operations in Queensland in 1973, although was providing services to the local community prior to becoming a legal entity focussing on preventative health measures through family, child health and hygiene programs. At the same time, the first all Aboriginal football team, Brisbane Natives Rugby League Football Club, commenced playing in local competitions with the support of Brisbane ATSICHS, as this was seen at the time as a means of encouraging active participation in sport and recreation activities. This partnership between the two entities remains today, with Brisbane ATSICHS the major sponsor of the Brisbane Natives Club, that not only competes in Rugby League competitions, but also participates in Junior and Senior Netball competitions, along with other family support activities throughout the year. This example of partnerships between local AICCHS and sporting teams has existed in our communities since the commencement of operations, and has grown stronger over time through a developed understanding of the overall benefits that regular participation in sport and recreation activities has on the well-being of our communities.
