  • The Myth of Empty Country and the Story of 'Deadly' Glass
    U N A R A Y The Myth of Empty Country And the Story of ‘Deadly’ Glass l d ı v a n_9 In order for Country to be living, people need to be there.1 Yhonnie Scarce, 2020 AS FAR AS THE EYE WILL SEE When British scientists were surveying international locations for their atomic tests in the early 1950s, they were looking for empty land, country devoid of human life. Culturally habituated to see what they wanted to see, they found what they wanted to find: ‘empty’ land and sea off the north- west coast and inland deserts of Australia which proved ideal for their clandestine military purposes. This ‘find’ echoed James Cook’s ‘discovery’ when he claimed the ‘empty land’ of the Australian continent for the British Crown under Europe’s international legal doctrine of terra nullius in 1770. In the mid-twentieth century, in the wake of their Second World War defeat in Singapore and the military power demonstrated at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the United Kingdom’s aspiration was to keep the fire of Empire burning: keeping pace with the United States and Russia in their escalating arms race was a matter of urgency and Commonwealth honour. Today, such misappropriations and misdirected ambitions are often massed together under the malevolent banner of colonialism. This unresolved and violent history between Australia’s first people and British colonisers remains a cloud in its collective skies and a scar on its soil; a past complicated by the matrilineal rift between Britain and its bastard colony offspring with its own history of secrets, denials and dismissals.

  • The Arts Review for South Australia
    THE ARTS REVIEW FOR SOUTH AUSTRALIA JULY 2019 Consultants’ Report Disclaimer – This Report was developed for the South Australian Government by external consultants. It draws on information, opinions and views provided by many people in the community. This Report does not necessarily reflect the views of the Government or indicate its commitment to a particular course of action. i Acknowledgement of Country Aboriginal people have made and continue to make a unique and irreplaceable contribution to the state of South Australia. The South Australian Government acknowledges and respects Aboriginal people as the state’s first people and nations, and recognises Aboriginal people as traditional owners and occupants of South Australian land and waters. The South Australian Government acknowledges that the spiritual, social, cultural and economic practices of Aboriginal people come from their traditional lands and waters, and that the Aboriginal people maintain cultural and heritage beliefs, languages and laws which are of ongoing importance today. ii Dear Premier Marshall We have pleasure in submitting this Report on the Review of Arts and Culture for South Australia. It has been a privilege for the Consulting team to engage with so many talented and committed artists, arts administrators and members of the community from across the state. People care deeply about the arts in South Australia. They care about its reputation, and they seek to honour that reputation by contributing to a vibrant and distinctive future. The community welcomed this Review, and contributed with optimism and generosity. We have engaged with over 2,500 people in a range of ways – live meetings, focus groups, town hall style meetings, an online Survey and through written submissions.
