Unfortunately, many have not been positive. A number of decisions by the High Court regarding native title have seen Indigenous rights to land further limited in an already highly restrictive legislative regime. Discrimination continues to be a daily experience for many Indigenous people and a UN Special Rapporteur investigating discrimination in Australia not only supported this but linked discriminatory practice directly to the Native Title Act. The 10th anniversary of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody has passed, yet few of its recommendations have been implemented. Indigenous peoples are still overrepresented in gaols, there are few rehabilitation programs available and the cycle of offending behaviour continues. Young Indigenous people also continue to be overrepresented in the criminal justice system, unaided by state government curfew policies. A There have, however, been some positive developments. Aboriginal ancestral remains Restorative Justice mechanisms such as Circle Sentencing in Aboriginal remains return home, 24/4 NSW, Koori Courts in Victoria and Nunga Courts in SA have Repatriation, 6/9-13 shown signs of immense success in decreasing rates of recidivism and supporting community development. Other community-run Australia’s Museum Policy, 6/9 initiatives have reported similar successes in addressing issues of UK Museums, 6/10 family violence, alcoholism and unemployment. Aboriginal art Misleading or deceptive conduct, 24/18 We have been very fortunate to have many editors working on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) the ILB in the course of this Volume. We thank them for their Government review of ATSIC, 23/7, 25/4 tireless hard work, commitment and vision. We would also like to Lingiari Foundation, extend a special thanks to Emeritus Professor Garth Nettheim for and Water Rights Project, 16/18 his continued encouragement, guidance and contributions. Garth National Indigenous Working Group on Family Violence, has been involved with the ILB since its inception and much of what it is today is owed to him. Of course, the ILB would be 23/6 nothing without the exceptional talents of its designers. Thanks Native Title Representative Bodies, funding, 9/14 to Dale Harrison, Sophie Verrechia, Francisco Fisher, Adam Hill UN Draft Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and our current designer, John Hewitt, for their work in making 2002, 16/6-9 the ILB look fantastic. Finally, we would like to thank the many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission Act other people who have contributed – writers, peer reviewers, 1989 (Cth) (ATSIC Act) guest editors, artists and volunteers.
