The Ngurratjuta Aboriginal Corporation: A model for understanding Northern Territory royalty associations
Discussion Paper 185 / 1999
Abstract:
Some 25 years after the implementation of the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 (ALRA) and with the legislation currently under review and 'at risk', as some have argued, it is timely to reconsider the class of organisation referred to as 'royalty associations'.
Determinants of employment and labour force participation: A cohort analysis of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, 1986-96

Discussion Paper 187 / 1999
Abstract:
The ability of Indigenous people to manage and budget their income, arrange to pay third parties, purchase food, goods and services, and maintain a level of financial and economic independence and planning, are all reliant on maintaining informed access to appropriate banking and financial services.
Women's business: Access to credit for Indigenous women entrepreneurs within Torres Strait
Discussion Paper 188 / 1999
Abstract:
This paper begins with a profile of Torres Strait and an analysis of potential areas, such as tourism and art and craft, in which Indigenous women's businesses could be developed. Such business development can only occur if Indigenous women are given adequate access to credit. Credit sources available to the Indigenous population in Torres Strait include the Torres Strait Regional Authority's (TSRA) Business Funding Scheme and the loans available from the National Australia Bank.
Changing places: Indigenous population movement in the 1990s
Discussion Paper 189 / 1999
Abstract:
This paper presents selected measures of Indigenous population mobility using 1996 Census data and compares these with equivalent measures for the non-Indigenous population. There are two parts to the exercise. The first comprises an examination of relative propensities to move according to the age and sex distribution of movers, their labour force status and income distribution. The second is an analysis of the contribution of mobility to spatial redistribution of the Indigenous population.
Career, aspirations and the meaning of work in remote Australia: Torres Strait
Discussion Paper 190 / 1999
Abstract:
The Indigenous Policy Unit of the Department of Family and Community Services (DFaCS) has commissioned the Centre for Aboriginal Economic Research to carry out research aimed at determining how the aspirations of young Indigenous people in remote regions match the Department's income support programs for the unemployed. The project is to be carried out over five years and focus on locations in the Kimberley and Torres Strait. The principal methodology for the project will be surveys of Indigenous people aged 15 to 24 years.
The allocation and management of royalties under the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act: Options for reform
Discussion Paper 191 / 1999
Abstract:
In response to post-war mining developments on Northern Territory Aboriginal reserves, policy innovations established the principles that a special rate of royalties could be levied on those developments and applied to the benefit of Northern Territory Aborigines, and that a proportion of those royalties should be reserved for the people of the area where mining was taking place. The Woodward Land Rights Commission accepted these two principles and also created Aboriginal land councils as a third class of beneficiary.
Regionalisation of Northern Territory Land Councils
Discussion Paper 192 / 1999
Abstract:
The dispersal of the powers exercised and functions performed by the two major land councils has been the subject of debate and recommendations on a number of occasions since the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 came into effect. The Reeves Review of the Act in 1998, and the subsequent Inquiry into that Review by the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs (HORSCATSIA) this year, have raised the issue to prominence again and ensured that it will be dealt with in the coming round of statutory amendments.
