  • Indigenous Languages in Parliamentary Debate, Legislation and Statutory Interpretation
    1006 UNSW Law Journal Volume 43(3) LEGISLATING IN LANGUAGE: INDIGENOUS LANGUAGES IN PARLIAMENTARY DEBATE, LEGISLATION AND STATUTORY INTERPRETATION JULIAN R MURPHY* There are signs that Australia is beginning a long-overdue process of incorporating Indigenous languages into its parliamentary debates and legislation. These are significant developments in Australian public law which, to date, have attracted insufficient scholarly attention. This article begins the process of teasing out the doctrinal implications of this phenomenon. The article is in four Parts, the first two of which describe and normatively defend the trend towards Indigenous language lawmaking in Australia. The third Part looks abroad to how other countries facilitate multilingual parliamentary debate and legislation. Finally, the article examines the interpretative questions that multilingual legislation poses for Australian courts. Potential answers to these questions are identified within existing Australian and comparative jurisprudence. However, the ultimate aim of this article is not to make prescriptions but to stimulate further discussion about multilingual legislation, which discussion ought to foreground Indigenous voices.

  • Dear Alice Springs Residents
    Dear Alice Springs Residents Welcome to the new “electronic” Araluen Newsletter. With the end of the Centralian Advocate as our local newspaper in June last year, the dissemination of news and community information at a grass roots level is very challenging. I have used several modes over the years including paper hand-delivered newsletters, publishing in the Advocate and now electronically. We will continue to hand distribute the Araluen Newsletter to people who are not connected to the internet. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the people of Araluen for their continuing support. After more than 10 years as the Member for Araluen I am more motivated and fired up than ever. I can 100% guarantee you I will be working harder than ever to represent you in the NT Parliament on the issues that matter to you. Crime Explosion Crime remains the number one concern for Alice Springs residents. The rise in crime we have seen in Alice Springs is real. The NT Police Crime Statistics over the past few months demonstrate an extremely concerning overall increase in crime. The latest Police Crime Statistics for Alice Springs that came out in March 2021 pertain to the period ending on 31st January 2021 compared to the previous 12 months.
