The “Native title Act” established new laws in allowing the jurisdiction of the Federal Court of Australia to hear and undertake claims and applications that revolve around native title. The Wik Decisions was also an important pastoral lease that was released as a result to the Mabo decision in 1996. Pastoral leases are a form of land tenure that was created by the British prior to the squatters in the 1830’s to 1840’s. In the Wik Case, the governments posed questions referring towards native title in that a grant of pastoral lease was in relation towards it. In conclusion the High Court established that native title should be wiped out from pastoral leases.
Roles of Aboriginals in WWI The Aborigines (Australian Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders) involved in WWI are commonly unrecognised as significant contributions to the war in contemporary times, as in the war period the Aboriginals were thought poorly of as ‘lesser’ human beings. Many indigenous individuals disliked the British and European Australians for their violent history, as well as the constant conflict the two kinds had against each other (ever since the first colonies). It would be assumed that nearly no indigenous people would have volunteered into the white man’s war, not to mention committing the same violence the European Australians were involved in. Contrary to popular belief, a number of both Aboriginals and Torres Strait

Perkins' role in this action propelled him to a position as a national Aboriginal leader and spokesman, a position he held until his death Kevin Rudd sorry speech 13 February 2008 was a formal apology from the government to the aboriginal people apologising for the removal of children from their families and the previous laws which were in place for many years. He also included that there will be a positive future for aboriginal Australians with equal opportunities and treatment for all. No one ever thought of that the Indigenous people should have rights equal to themselves. The thought was unheard of. A prominent woman in the lead up to the referendum in 1967 was Faith Bandler.

Texts are often generated to produce radically different perspectives whereby the theme of the play is revealed. No Sugar is a postcolonial play set in 1929 to 1934 and first performed in 1985 to highlight the disempowerment and segregation of Aboriginals which came as a result of the colonisation of white, British settlers. While many people suffered economically and socially during the Great Depression, the effects of this event were often more severe for the Aborigines. Colonisation often involves not merely the settlement of new lands, but the dispossession of indigenous people who share their own histories and cultures. The play No Sugar provides social realism into the effects of colonisation through the construction of an Australian
From: Ivan Tabal To: Loretta Iffland On: Friday, August 30, 2013 During: Period 4, Day 5 Australian Identity The Australian Identity is constantly on a state of evolution. In particular, the diversity of ethnic groups has led to Australia's multicultural society, breaking the barriers of what used to be known as a 'white colony'. This is appropriated through Komninos Zervos' poem 'Noboby Calls Me a Wog, Anymore' and Dorothy MacKellar's 'My Country', along with Duncan MacGregor's 'National Insecurity', elucidates the notion of multiculturalism through the characterization of the writers' individual experiences with being Australian. Through racism and inequality, Komninos expresses his identity through his poem "Nobody calls me
The account of state intervention that will be discussed is the ‘Northern Territory National Emergency Response’ also known as the ‘Northern Territory Intervention’. It was established in 2007 under Prime Minister John Howard, continued through the Rudd government and is still supported to date. Glasson (2007, p. 614) describe it as the largest and most significant whole of government initiative carried out by Australia. The Northern Territory intervention was implemented in response to the perceived problems in Aboriginal communities throughout the Northern Territory, focusing particularly on problems involving children and sexual abuse. These issues became evident as a ‘crisis’ as a result of the report; ‘Little Children are Sacred’ by the
Personally, I find it sad the way they are treated now and the slaughtering of so many of them unethical and disturbing. The connection between them and capitalism may be slightly exaggerated. I sort of see where the author was going but ultimately I feel like it went completely against their beliefs and way of life. They did not place a money value on things; they traded, lived off the land, built their own tools, caught their own food and had a sense of connection between all the elements of Earth. They respected the land, used in moderation and prioritized the whole tribe over themselves.
