  • An Ethnography of Health Promotion with Indigenous Australians in South East Queensland

However, these successes have largely failed to translate into Indigenous health outcomes. Given the continued dominance of a colonial imagination, little research exists that values Indigenous perspectives, knowledges and practice in health promotion. This thesis contributes to addressing this knowledge gap. An ethnographic study of health promotion practice was undertaken within an Indigenous-led health promotion team, to learn how practitioners negotiated tensions of daily practice.

D. E. Nicholson, Murrumba) took the chair at 11 a.m. QUESTIONS INCREASES IN BRISBANE MEAT PRICES Mr. LLOYD (Kedron) asked the Minister for Agriculture and Forestry- "(!) Has his attention been drawn to what is apparently a deliberately misleading opinion in the 'Telegraph' of Tuesday, November 8, which attempts to place the responsibility for the seven pence increase in meat prices in Brisbane on the control over the supply of meat in the metropolitan area by the Brisbane Abattoir?" "(2) Is it not a fact that the Cannon Hill Saleyards are merely a facility placed at the disposal of the buyers and sellers of cattle and the Queensland Meat Industry Board has nothing to do with the prices paid for the cattle sold at the Saleyards?" "(3) Would it not be true to state that the only affect that the operations of the Brisbane Abattoir have on the price of meat to the Brisbane housewife is the charge per head imposed on the slaugh­ tering of cattle owned by meat companies and individual buyers?" "(4) For the correct information of the Brisbane public, will he outline the charges made for the slaughtering of cattle at the Brisbane Abattoir?" "(5) How do these charges compare with those imposed by other abattoirs?" Questions [10 NOVEMBER] Questions 1345 "(6) Has there been any recent increase Cannon Hill have had no influence on in the slaughtering charges levied at the recent rises in meat prices.
