Three Senses Of Business Under The Whitlam Government

After WW2, Britain’s domestic life was in upheaval and most people wanted peace and to return to normal, the war also brought on an urge to broaden Britain’s wealth. This meant the new Conservative government was expected to

Another challenge to land ownership was the Tent Embassy on the parliament house lawns. This constant public pressure caused the government to express interest in giving land rights to Aboriginals. This was completed with Justice Woodward’s report in 1974 that recommended that Aboriginal reserves are to be returned to Aboriginal ownership, that Aboriginals had claim to vacant land if they could prove ties with the land, that Aboriginal sacred sites were protected. This was great as it gave power to the Aboriginals. It did however also mean that if they had sacred land that was already owned if not even used would not be returned to them. This was passed in 1976 when the Aboriginal Land Rights Act was passed. Later in 1981 the Northern Territory government opposes land rights and attempts to amend the land rights act to stop claims of owned stations and property.

In 1976 the Fraser government passed the Aboriginal Land Rights Act. Several state governments passed their own Land Rights Acts, which recognised aboriginal and Torres Strait islander claims to land and guaranteed them royalty payments from mining companies working there. Some laws enforced by the government became challenging for most indigenous people to abide by. Through the analysis of this information we understand the impacts the government and its laws had towards the indigenous society of

This period of Labour rule is often marked down as a poor performance on behalf of the labour party, critically looked upon by many historians. There were many failings under the rule of this government however the circumstances they were placed in caused severe restraints in their options.

In the early 1890’s, protectionism gave way to state and commonwealth government regimes of segregation. In the development of the constitution, politicians included sections specifically excluding Indigenous Australians, such as the white Australia policy, ensuring that racism became entrenched in the new nation’s future. Reserves and missions were set up far from white settlements, to exclude and control Indigenous Australians, especially those of mixed descent (Hampton & Toombs, Racism, colonisation/colonialism and impacts on indigenous people, 2013).

Aboriginal people, since British settlement, have faced great inequalities and much racial discrimination on their own soil. Aboriginal Australians through great struggle and conflict have made significant progress in the right to their own land. To better understand the position of the Aboriginal Australians, this essay will go into more depth about the rights that Aboriginal people had to their own land prior to federation. It will also include significant events and key people who activated the reshaping of land rights for Indigenous Australians and how that has affected the rights Aboriginal people now have in the 21st Century, in regards to their land.

The change in legal affairs for the indigenous was a result of the change in rights and freedoms. Throughout the 19th century white settlers moved the Aboriginal people off their land and into reserves. This resulted in Aboriginal people experiencing dispossession, which meant that they didn’t exist. In the early 1970s the Whitlam government began to work on

Each example given has also shown how self-determination was and continues to be a major struggle for Aboriginal people. Beginning with the Whitlam government, the Land Rights Act was going to be the national recognition that Aboriginal people had been waiting for, however the swift dismissal of the government and subsequent changes to the bill meant that an uninformed government would dictate claims of Aboriginal land rights. This was continued in the Heritage Protection Act for Western Australia in which no monitoring of abuses of power within the authoritative ministry was assessed; hence damage to heritage sites for the development of industries occurred. Finally the Racial Discrimination Act although making racial discrimination illegal has clearly been violated by the government in the Northern Territory interventions and hence is not valued by Australia despite the international commitments made to recognising Indigenous rights. Although legislation has been introduced to recognise Indigenous rights, there seems to always be a catch. A final reoccurring theme in the legislation discussed is the uninformed views of the non-Indigenous government as decisions are made on behalf of Aboriginal people; hence two major statements were discussed that precisely define Aboriginal self-determination by Aboriginal

This essay is about the land rights of of Australia and how Eddie Marbo was not happy about his land been taken away from him. In May 1982 Eddie Marbo and four other people of the Murray Islands began to take action in the high court of Australia and confirming their land rights. Eddie Marbo was a torres islander who thought that the Australian laws were wrong and who went to fight and try and change them. He was born in 1936 on Mer which is known as Murray Island. The British Crown in the form of the colony of Queensland became of the sovereign of the islands when they were annexed in1978. They claimed continued enjoyment of there land rights and that had not been validly extinguished by the sovereign. (Australian Bureau of Statistics

The political unjustification of the Great Mahele was the new law of buying land for fee simple but, Hawaiians were supposed get the land first but that did not happen. The reason why they did not get the first pick at the land because they either did not have enough money to buy the land or they did not get their papers done on time. When this happens

A policy within the affairs that was adopted was self-determination where the Commonwealth would support the decision making of the indigenous communities and relinquishes the paternalistic control after the previous government had over the lives of the indigenous people. The government perused to empower the indigenous people to claim back their rightful land, to have more of an input into the policy making and to abolish all discriminatory practices that was limiting them from their freedom, justice, rights, and opportunities that were denied to them for so

On Australia day 1972 four Indigenous activists, Michael Anderson, Billy Craigie, Bertie Williams and Tony Koorie erected a beach umbrella on the lawns of Parliament House. These four people set up a protest and placed signs which said ‘Embassy’, this was to represent a displaced nation. The protesters were against the McMahon Liberal Government’s statement in which land rights were rejected to Aboriginal communities. They issued a petition which had a detailed five point plan which addressed that Aboriginals had ownership of existing reserves and settlements. The Aboriginal protesters said that they would stay out on the lawns opposing until the Aboriginal Australians were granted their land rights. After a while the Government realized that they needed to get rid of the Aboriginals that were camped at Old Parliament House. They decided that they would be removed without any disturbance and with plenty of notice.

In Fifth Business, a novel by the Canadian author Robertson Davies, the role of the mother and the representation of “mother figures’ and “mother love’ appear in both obvious and subtle ways. While Dunstan Ramsay, the protagonist in the novel develops and grows in many ways as the story progresses, his journey from boy to man is significantly impacted by the women in his life and the manner in which he navigates his connections and bonds in relation to the women in his world. From Mrs. Ramsay, Dunstan’s overpowering mother, to Mary Dempster, considered by Dunstan to be a saint, to Diana Marfleet, his devoted nurse to Liesl who ultimately helps Dunstan shake hands with his shadow side; these women all represent important archetypes that enable him to navigate a complex journey of psychological and physical growth. Although Dunstan feels differently about each woman in his life, it is ultimately his complex relationship with Liesl, which allows Dunstan to find comfort. The most intriguing conversation that Dunstan and Liesl have is on page 217. Liesl states that Dunstan “should take a look at [the] side of [his] life [he hasn’t lived].” Ultimately, it is Liesl who highlights for Dunstan that he has lived his life in a supporting role while sitting on the sidelines. According to Liesl, Dunstan has never been the centre of his own life because he is overly concerned with the lives of others. Dunstan looks up to Liesl, and as a result of his relationship and connection to her he

In 1977 a Labour Member of Parliament introduced a important issue, a question that was called “The West Lothian Question” later on and referred to the ability to vote on matters that only afected people living in England by Members of Parliament from constituencies in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, as a consequence of the devolution of power from Westminster and Scottish parliament, Welsh and Northern Irish Assemblies.
