  • Report:Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Experience of Law Enforcement and Justice Services
    Additional and dissenting comments from government senators Introduction 1.1 Government Senators acknowledge that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, particularly Indigenous youth, are overrepresented in the criminal justice system. The reasons for the high rates of Indigenous incarceration are complex and multi-faceted but in large part stem from broader issues of Indigenous disadvantage. 1.2 The Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Senator the Hon. Nigel Scullion has reaffirmed that the government is committed to working with jurisdictions to address areas of disadvantage affecting Indigenous Australians which increase the likelihood of a person being exposed to the criminal justice system: I am committed to reducing Indigenous offending, victimisation and incarceration by tackling the drivers of crime, including alcohol and drug misuse, poor educational outcomes and disconnection from employment. States and territories are responsible for their criminal justice systems, including policing. However, this, like many issues, needs governments to work together to ensure that we get better outcomes.1 Closing the gap 1.3 Government Senators note that since the establishment of the 'Closing the Gap' campaign 10 years ago, there has been progress in improving some Indigenous outcomes and these are: …built on the combined efforts of successive governments, business, community and most importantly, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people themselves. But it is undeniable that progress against targets has been variable, and that a more concerted effort is needed.2 1.4 On 10 February 2016 the Prime Minister, the Hon. Malcolm Turnbull MP informed parliament that the government is committed to 'Closing the Gap' for Indigenous Australians.3 The Prime Minister recognised: The Prime Minister of the day tables the Closing the Gap report as a report card of our nation on our combined efforts.

What places become visible beyond the territorial definitions of British settler colony and 'White Australia'? What past geographies could we reconstruct through historical prose? From the 1860s there emerged a circuit of camels, ships and trains connecting Australian deserts to the Indian Ocean world and British Indian ports.

  • Disrupting Assimilationist Research Principles and Practices in Australia and Sweden: Self-Determination Through the Enactment of Indigenous Diplomacies
    36 DISRUPTING ASSIMILATIONIST RESEARCH PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES IN AUSTRALIA AND SWEDEN: SELF-DETERMINATION THROUGH THE ENACTMENT OF INDIGENOUS DIPLOMACIES Sheelagh Daniels-Mayes, Ph.D. Lecturer and Researcher, Indigenous education, University of Sydney Kristina Sehlin MacNeil, Ph.D. Researcher, Várdduo - Centre for Sámi Research; Co-Director for The Faculty of Arts Doctoral College, Umeå University Abstract: Embedded with pre-existing meaning and a complex set of core principles and practices, “diplomacy” is a term familiar to most. Simply put, diplomacy is the established methods of infuencing the decisions and behavior of foreign governments and peoples through dialogue, negotiation, and other measures to resolve confict and maintain peace.1 In this article, we review the literature pertaining to the concept of diplomacy, focusing primarily on the lesser recognized diplomacies of First Peoples2 in Australia and Sweden. Trough the telling of three signifcant events, historical and contemporary, drawn from many possible examples of the two nations, we demonstrate that Indigenous diplomacies are not new but rather newly recognized.3 We argue for the utilization of Indigenous diplomatic practices to realize self- determining research with, and by, First Peoples. In doing so, centuries of colonization that have resulted in power imbalances, which sought to assimilate and beneft settler/colonizer privilege through its governing institutions, may be disrupted and transformed.4 According to the literature search undertaken, this is an approach
