  • Whitlam As Internationalist: a Centenary Reflection
    WHITLAM AS INTERNATIONALIST: A CENTENARY REFLECTION T HE HON MICHAEL KIRBY AC CMG* Edward Gough Whitlam, the 21st Prime Minister of Australia, was born in July 1916. This year is the centenary of his birth. It follows closely on his death in October 2014 when his achievements, including in the law, were widely debated. In this article, the author reviews Whitlam’s particular interest in international law and relations. It outlines the many treaties that were ratified by the Whitlam government, following a long period of comparative disengagement by Australia from international treaty law. The range, variety and significance of the treaties are noted as is Whitlam’s attraction to treaties as a potential source of constitutional power for the enactment of federal laws by the Australian Parliament. This article also reviews Whitlam’s role in the conduct of international relations with Australia’s neighbours, notably the People’s Republic of China, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and Indochina. The reconfiguration of geopolitical arrangements is noted as is the close engagement with the United Nations, its agencies and multilateralism. Whilst mistakes by Whitlam and his government are acknowledged, his strong emphasis on international law, and treaty law in particular, was timely. It became a signature theme of his government and life.

Protocols are simply the ways in which you work with people, and communicate and collaborate with them appropriately. They are a guide to assist you with ways in which you can work, communicate and collaborate with the Indigenous community of Western Sydney. A wealth of Indigenous protocols documentation already exists (see Section 9), but to date the practice of following them is not widespread. Protocols are also standards of behaviour, respect and knowledge that need to be adopted. You might even think of them as a code of manners to observe, rather than a set of rules to obey.

  • Herbert Vere Evatt, the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights After 60 Years
    238 (2009) 34 UWA LAW REVIEW Herbert Vere Evatt, the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights After 60 Years MICHAEL KIRBY AC CMG* ERBERT VERE EVATT was a product of public schools. He attended Fort HStreet Boys’ High School in Sydney, the oldest public school in Australia, as I later did. That school has refl ected the ethos of public education in Australia: free, compulsory and secular. These values infl uenced Evatt’s values as they did my own.1 As an Australian lawyer, Evatt stood out. He was a Justice of the High Court of Australia for 10 years in the 1930s. However, his greatest fame was won by his leadership role in the formation of the United Nations and in the adoption of its Charter in 1945. He was elected the third President of the General Assembly. He was in the chair of the Assembly, on 10 December 1948, when it voted to accept the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).2 It is 60 years since that resolution of 1948. In the imagination of immature schoolchildren, like me, in the 1940s and 1950s, the Hiroshima cloud was imprinted on our consciousness. We knew (perhaps more than Australians do today) how important it was for the survival of the human species that the United Nations should be effective, including in the attainment of the values expressed in its new UDHR. When I arrived at high school in 1951, Evatt was honoured as a famous alumnus. By then, he was no longer a judge or Federal minister.

Contents Executive Summary 3 Involvement in Decision Making 11 Maintenance of Cultural and Intellectual Property Rights 20 Education, Training, Employment & Opportunities for 26 Economic Independence Indigenous Health Needs 40 Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Youth 52 Mainland Torres Strait Islander Issues 69 The Role of Other Agencies & Spheres of Government 75 ATSIC Programs & Services 110 Statistical Overview 189 Acronyms & Abbreviations 204 References & Bibliography 207 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The role of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission was established in 1990 to be the main Commonwealth agency in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander affairs. Our Act gives us a variety of functions including the responsibility to: • develop policy proposals to meet national, State, Territory and regional needs and priorities, • advise the Minister on legislation, and coordination of activities of other Commonwealth bodies, • protect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural material and information, and • formulate and implement programs. In exercising these responsibilities ATSIC has given Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islanders a stronger political voice. On the one hand, the most prominent Indigenous agency, ATSIC is often blamed for the fact that our people remain gravely disadvantaged. On the other hand it is not widely understood that ATSIC’s budget is meant to supplement the funding provided by the Government to other Commonwealth, State, Territory and Local Government agencies.

  • A Twentieth-Century Aboriginal Family
    Chapter 10 The Northern Territory, 1972 The 1972 Federal election was a time of heightened tension among interest groups in Australia. The Liberal-Country Party coalition had been in power since 1949 and all politically minded people sensed a change. All except those in power. Aboriginal poverty, high infant mortality rates and the question of Land Rights left Aboriginal leaders wondering how they could contribute in the political milieu they were confronted with. Charlie Perkins had been telling me for three or four years that he wanted to ‘get rid of this government’, in particular to show his contempt for the Country Party. Charlie at the time was an Assistant Secretary in the Department of Aboriginal Affairs and in spite of his role as a bureaucrat he was intimately involved in Aboriginal politics. So was I. On many occasions he would express his confidence that change in Aboriginal people’s living conditions were just around the corner while at other times he would be filled with despair. The time frame between accepting the nomination to run for the Northern Territory seat and leaving Sydney was very tight. As a family we had to sell the Summer Hill house to finance getting to, and living in Alice Springs. I had to resign from the Legal Service, make contact with the Australia Party base in Darwin and prepare my thinking for an election campaign. One of the first things I did was to speak to my colleague Len Smith to seek his views about if, and how, I should run my campaign.
