Title: The Commonwealth’s Indigenous land tenure reform agenda : Whose aspirations, and for what outcomes? / Ed Wensing. ISBN: 9781922102584 (ebook) Subjects: Aboriginal Australians--Land tenure. Land tenure--Law and legislation--Australia. Land reform--Law and legislation--Australia. Dewey Number: 346.9404320899915 Abstract Ever since the Reeves Review of the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 (Cth) in the late 1990s, the Commonwealth1 has been pursuing an Indigenous land tenure reform agenda, which has continued to gain momentum. Although a clear policy on Indigenous land tenure reform has not been articulated, the underlying premise is that traditionally grounded, communal forms of land title are a barrier to wealth creation and that communally owned lands should give way to individualised and alienable rights in land (Dodson and McCarthy 2010:85). Even though the agenda has shifted in focus over time, this still appears to be the underlying objective. In this paper I argue that weak links are being made between increasing opportunities for economic development (including private home ownership) and the need for Indigenous land tenure reform. The paper draws on a considerable body of background research and analysis, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ collective views about Indigenous land tenure reform and their aspirations for protecting and not diminishing their hard-won gains through native title determinations and statutory land rights grants or acquisitions; the composition and location of the Indigenous estate and the land titling revolution that has taken place over the past 50 years; the geographic spread of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population around Australia and on the Indigenous estate; the origins of the Commonwealth’s Indigenous land tenure reforms from the Reeves Review of the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 (Cth) in 1997 and its trajectory to June 2016; the current land dealing provisions (private sale, leasing and mortgaging) in the statutory Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land rights schemes and the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) and how they facilitate or hinder economic development and/or private home ownership aspirations; and how the mainland states and the Northern Territory have (or have not) responded to the Commonwealth’s Indigenous land tenure reform agenda over the past decade. The research highlights the frustration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with the nature and direction of the Commonwealth’s Indigenous land tenure reform agenda and their strong opposition to any diminution of their estate. They want genuine recognition of their inherent customary rights and interests to their traditional lands and waters. The confluence of several Commonwealth initiatives over the past 18–24 months and the development of a clear set of guiding principles and outcomes by the Indigenous Property Rights Network provide an opportunity to refocus the reform agenda. I conclude that what is required is an implicit recognition of the prior and continuing ownership of all land and waters in Australia by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples under their traditional laws and customs to embed the genuine consideration of their rights, interests, knowledges, values, needs and aspirations in allconventional land tenure and contemporary land use planning systems. I also postulate that it is time to 1 In this paper Commonwealth refers to the Australian Government. ‘puncture some legal orthodoxies’ (McHugh 2011:68, 328-339) relating to property, especially in relation to inalienability and extinguishment, and that land use planning systems must also undergo fundamental change that acknowledges and respects the parity of two distinctly different but co-existing land ownership and governance approaches.

Institutionalisation of Aborigines, under the guise of assimilation and protection policies, was only abandoned in.the lg7Os. It is therefore important to understand the implications of these policies for Aborigines and Australian society in general. I investigate the affect of institutionalisation on Aborigines, questioning the assumption tl.at they were passive victims forced onto missions and government stations and kept there as virtual prisoners.

  • CHAPTER 9 LAND TENURE Introduction 9.1 the Most
    CHAPTER 9 LAND TENURE Introduction 9.1 The most fundamental requirement to establish a permanent homeland centre equipped with facilities and services is secure land tenure. Department of Aboriginal Affairs Guidelines on outstations state that homeland centres should not be provided with fixed assets unless the group has title to the site or the formal consent of the owner. If there are traditional owners of the site, their consent should also be obtained and if the proposed site is on private land some form of tenure should be negotiated or, failing that, the consent of the landholder obtained. Given the importance of obtaining secure land tenure, one of the primary goals of the Department of Aboriginal Affairs' guidelines for homeland communities is to secure title to land in terms of land rights and excisions policies. (See Appendix 6) The Committee outlines the current position in the States and Northern Territory in relation to land tenure of homeland communities. South Australia 9.2 The Department of Aboriginal Affairs stated that most homeland centres in South Australia are on Aboriginal land and so secure tenure is not a problem. According to figures provided by the Department of Aboriginal Affairs all 50 outstations in South 163 Australia had secure tenure. Homeland centres in these areas have benefited from the Pitjantjatjara Land Rights Act 1981. 9.3 However, the Department's figures do not fully represent the situation of land tenure for homeland centres in South Australia. For example, in the Pitjantjatjara homelands in South Australia there is a strong desire on the part of many residents of Indulkana to establish homeland centres on Granite Downs, a non-Aboriginal leased pastoral property.

Paper by Michael Dodson 2 Introduction This paper is about Indigenous Protected Areas (IPA’s) in Australia. It is impossible to talk about this subject without having some understanding at the outset of what land and environment means in the Australian Aboriginal context. [MAP OF INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIA] We talk about this notion of; ‘Caring for Country’ in our part of the world. What exactly do we mean when we talk about ‘country?’ Country is the spiritual, the ecological, social and aesthetic realm of my people.1 The Australian landscape country and sea has been a contested place since the British arrived to assert their sovereignty and commence the colonization process. We Indigenous Australians and our forebears – the first peoples of this land now called Australia - have fought for our place in this country in the face of this colonization. We have struggled physically, politically and through the imposed legal system, and its processes, to try to achieve recognition for our inherent right to own and manage our traditional lands, seas and resources and the places in and on them. Our entire ecological space. What is this Indigenous idea about country and our yearning for it.
