Indigenous land in Australia: A quantitative assessment of Indigenous landholdings in 2000
Discussion Paper 221 / 2001
Abstract:
This paper estimates the area of land held by Indigenous people in Australia in 2000. It details the legislation and programs that have lead to the accrual of land for Indigenous people in Australia since the concept of Indigenous ownership of land under Australian law, rather than the allocation of reserve lands, was first addressed in the mid 1960s. It is based on a literature review and data provided by a variety of government agencies and Indigenous organisations around Australia.
Valuing native title: Aboriginal, statutory and policy discourses about compensation
Discussion Paper 222 / 2001
Abstract:
The issue of native title compensation generates deep divisions and conflicting evaluations in Australia. Underlying the tensions are unresolved questions concerning the nature of the native title that might be affected; how loss, impairment and extinguishment are to be determined and measured; who is entitled to compensation and on what basis; what might constitute just terms for that compensation; and who is to pay it.
Community Participation Agreements: A model for welfare reform from community-based research
Discussion Paper 223 / 2001
Abstract:
In its June 2001 budget, the Federal Government announced a new framework for welfare reform, Australians Working Together. One component of the framework is the proposed development of Community Participation Agreements in remote Indigenous communities, to deal with welfare income payments, mutual obligation and related service delivery. This paper presents the results of community consideration and the author's field research between March and August 2001 at Mutitjulu, Central Australia, regarding what such an Agreement might look like on the ground.
A regional CDEP for four remote communities? Papunya, Ikuntji, Watiyawanu and Walungurru
Discussion Paper 224 / 2001
Abstract:
The four remote Aboriginal communities involved in this study have not been among those with a Community Development Employment Project (CDEP) over the last ten or twenty years. Some interest in these communities having CDEP was expressed in early 2000, and as a result this study was commissioned by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC).
Building Indigenous learning communities
Discussion Paper 225 / 2001
Abstract:
This paper proposes the building of Indigenous learning communities as an avenue to address the limited engagement of Indigenous Australians with education. Against the backdrop of current discussions of social capital and community capacity building, the paper explores educational policy and program options for linking families, schools and communities (including business and government) to identify and address local needs through drawing upon local resources.
Sustainable development options on Aboriginal land: The hybrid economy in the twenty-first century
Discussion Paper 226 / 2001
Abstract:
This discussion paper is a brief summary of a number of intellectual endeavours undertaken in 2001. First and foremost, it is an attempt to progress a research collaboration between the author-a social scientist based at the Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research-and a number of biological scientists based at the Australian Research Council ARC Key Centre for Tropical Wildlife Management at the Northern Territory University.
The Indigenous Welfare Economy and the CDEP Scheme
Research Monograph 20 / 2001
ISBN 1 9209420 4 1 (Print Version)
ISBN 0 9751229 3 2 (Online Version)
Abstract:
In recent debates about the Indigenous welfare economy, the Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) scheme has not been given the attention it deserves. It represents a major adaptation of the Australian welfare system to the particular social and economic circumstances of Indigenous people.
Indigenous communities and business: Three perspectives, 1998–2000
Working Paper 9 / 2001
ISSN 1442 3871
ISBN 0 7315 4908 2
Abstract:
This paper was presented at the 4th Doing Business with Aboriginal Communities Conference held in Alice Springs in February 1998. Conference presentations covered a great deal of material on Indigenous, governmental and industry perspectives on doing business with Aboriginal communities. These included a number of empirical best practice case studies; perspectives of native title tribunal, legal and bureaucratic practitioners; and an Indigenous community voice.
Indigenous Australian arrest rates: Economic and social factors underlying the incidence and number of arrests
Working Paper 10 / 2001
ISSN 1442 3871
ISBN 0 7315 4909 0
Abstract:
The over-representation of Indigenous Australians in prison continues to be a serious problem, even a decade after the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody were handed down. The greatest leverage for reducing Indigenous imprisonment rates appears to lie in reducing the rate at which Indigenous persons appear in court rather than in reducing the rate at which convicted offenders are sentenced to imprisonment.
Sensitivity of Australian income distributions to choice of equivalence scale: Exploring some parameters of Indigenous incomes
Working Paper 11 / 2001
ISSN 1442 3871
ISBN 0 7315 4910 4
Abstract:
Indigenous families experience substantial and multiple forms of economic burden arising from the size and structure of their families and households. Indigenous households are more likely to have more than one family in residence than other Australian households and are more likely to be multi-generational with older Indigenous people living with younger people in extended family households.
