The committee will now continue its examination of the Family and Community Services portfolio. I welcome back the Minister for Family and Community Services, Senator Kay Patterson; Dr Harmer; and officers of the Department of Family and Community Services. The committee has completed outcomes 1 and 2 and output groups 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3. We will now commence with output group 3.4 and then go to output group 3.5, followed by outcomes 4 and 5. Senator McLUCAS—Dr Harmer, last night we were discussing page 123 of the PBS. You offered to take on notice the disaggregation of a number of those outputs. Would it be possible for you to provide the committee with each of the outputs disaggregated by program? This is not just for outcome 3, but let us talk about outcome 3 first. Could you provide us with each of the outputs, disaggregated by program, for the whole of outcome 3, with the funds that are attributed to each. Dr Harmer—For 2004 and 2005? Senator McLUCAS—I understand that it is tricky for 2004-05 because of the changed arrangements. I am particularly looking for 2005-06 and then the out years from there. I recognise the difficulty of doing it for 2004-05 and comparing apples and oranges, but if it were possible to do it for 2004-05 then that would be helpful. Dr Harmer—Senator, I think I answered at the last hearings a question in relation to this from Senator Collins, who was after a more detailed breakdown of forward estimates by program type—which is, I suspect, what you are also asking for. Is that correct? COMMUNITY AFFAIRS CA 4 Senate—Legislation Tuesday, 31 May 2005 Senator McLUCAS—Yes, it is. Dr Harmer—The answer I gave at the time has not changed. It is consistent with the position that the Department of Finance and Administration has taken in relation to all the estimates for all the departments, and DEWR and others have been asked similar questions. The answer is: ... FaCS will not provide financial estimates for each forward estimates year on Special Appropriations by payment type. This is consistent with the position taken by Finance and DEWR and other departments. It continues: What FaCS will do— and this is intended to be helpful— to assist the Senate Committee is to answer questions by payment type on future financial trends/expectations over the forward estimates period, for example on expectations of increases or decreases ... It is unable to provide, however, the detailed numbers—which are not published in the budget. I provided that answer— Senator McLUCAS—What question number is that, Dr Harmer? Dr Harmer—T21. It was in answer to Senator Collins’s question at the 16 February hearing. Senator McLUCAS—I will have a look at that and see whether that is what I am looking for. If there is something further, we will come back to it. [9.08 am] Senator CROSSIN—I have questions for people involved in 3.4, Support for Youth. I will start by asking you to give me a description of the Mentor Marketplace program. Ms Loveday—The Mentor Marketplace program provides mentoring opportunities for a wide range of young people. A decision was made in the budget to continue it and to create it as a lapsing program. Under that measure, funding was provided for up to 12 existing Mentor Marketplace projects from 1 July 2005, and funding was also provided for up to 15 new projects from 1 January 2006. The program seeks to provide a wide range of mentoring opportunities for young people, especially those at risk, those in contact with the juvenile justice system and those who need assistance to stay connected to family and the community. Senator CROSSIN—There were 12 existing programs. Has that now been extended to 15 or will there

  • A Twentieth-Century Aboriginal Family
    Chapter 10 The Northern Territory, 1972 The 1972 Federal election was a time of heightened tension among interest groups in Australia. The Liberal-Country Party coalition had been in power since 1949 and all politically minded people sensed a change. All except those in power. Aboriginal poverty, high infant mortality rates and the question of Land Rights left Aboriginal leaders wondering how they could contribute in the political milieu they were confronted with. Charlie Perkins had been telling me for three or four years that he wanted to ‘get rid of this government’, in particular to show his contempt for the Country Party. Charlie at the time was an Assistant Secretary in the Department of Aboriginal Affairs and in spite of his role as a bureaucrat he was intimately involved in Aboriginal politics. So was I. On many occasions he would express his confidence that change in Aboriginal people’s living conditions were just around the corner while at other times he would be filled with despair. The time frame between accepting the nomination to run for the Northern Territory seat and leaving Sydney was very tight. As a family we had to sell the Summer Hill house to finance getting to, and living in Alice Springs. I had to resign from the Legal Service, make contact with the Australia Party base in Darwin and prepare my thinking for an election campaign. One of the first things I did was to speak to my colleague Len Smith to seek his views about if, and how, I should run my campaign.

  • A Critical Sociological Inquiry Into the Aboriginal Art Phenomenon
    Hope, Ethics and Disenchantment: a critical sociological inquiry into the Aboriginal art phenomenon by Laura Fisher A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of PhD (Sociology) University of NSW 2012 ii PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Fisher First name: Laura Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD (Sociology) School: Social Sciences and International Studies Faculty: Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences Title: Hope, Ethics and Disenchantment: a critical sociological inquiry into the Aboriginal art phenomenon Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art art has come to occupy a significant space in the Australian cultural landscape. It has also achieved international recognition as one of the most interesting aesthetic movements of recent decades and has become highly valuable within the art market. Yet there is much that remains obscure about Aboriginal art. It seems at once unstoppable and precarious: an effervescent cultural renaissance that is highly vulnerable to malign forces. This thesis brings a critical sociological perspective to bear upon the unruly character of the Aboriginal art phenomenon. It adopts a reflexive and interdisciplinary approach that brings into dialogue scholarship from several fields, including anthropology of art, art history and criticism, post-colonial critique, sociology of art and culture, theories of modernity, theories of cross-cultural brokerage and Australian political history. By taking this approach, the thesis is able to illuminate the intellectual and aesthetic practices, social movements and political events that have been constitutive of Aboriginal art‟s meaning and value from the late 19th Century to the present.

  • Closing the Gap: When and How Will Australia Ever Become Truly Liveable for Indigenous Australians? Pat Turner AM
    Closing the Gap: When and How will Australia Ever Become Truly Liveable for Indigenous Australians? Communities in Control Conference Melbourne, 17 June, 2008 Presentation by Pat Turner AM CEO, National Indigenous TV (NITV) *If quoting from this speech, please acknowledge that it was presented to the 2008 Communities in Control Conference convened by Our Community and Centacare Catholic Family Services If quoting from this speech, please acknowledge that it was presented to the 2008 Communities in Control Conference, convened by Our Community & Centacare Catholic Family Services, June 2008 www.ourcommunity.com.au/cic Thank you very much for that warm welcome Rhonda. I must begin of course in paying my respects to the members of the Kulin Nation and to thank Joy for her warm welcome to country yesterday. It is proper that we acknowledge the different Aboriginal groups when we travel to different parts of Australia because we have never forgotten that our people lived here for 60,000 years before the British arrived in 1788. In fact, in those days Australia was a truly liveable place for our people. So how come in 220 years we have been utterly dispossessed, utterly denigrated, utterly discriminated against, utterly marginalised, and we are now among the poorest, the least educated, the unhealthiest, the most unemployed, the most imprisoned in pro rata terms – and the list goes on. Time is up. We can no longer call ourselves a First Nation state with the economy booming and leave the plight of indigenous peoples, the original owners who so generously gave up their lands, with a struggle, but by no means with the power to defeat the colonisers, for which we have never been compensated and for which there is much unfinished business to deal with.
