Indigenous heritage protection, native title and regional agreements
Discussion Paper 145 / 1997
Abstract:
Central to the argument of this paper is a critical examination of the potential to strike local and regional agreements in Victoria between Indigenous and other parties in a context of impending proposed legislative changes to Indigenous cultural heritage (Commonwealth Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act 1984) and property rights (Native Title Amendment Bill 1997).
Regional agreements and localism: A case study from Cape York Peninsula
Discussion Paper 146 / 1997
Abstract:
There are a number of important prerequisites before there can be any assurance that regional approaches to negotiating new institutional arrangements between Aboriginal and other interests can have any chance of success. This is the case whether Aboriginal leverage in negotiations is derived from the assertion of native title rights or otherwise.
Towards a comprehensive regional agreement: Torres Strait
Discussion Paper 147 / 1997
Abstract:
Under native title in Australia, Indigenous groups may form regional agreements with governments, industry and other parties. There is no clear statement about the scope of such agreements but the suggestion is that in some cases they could be comprehensive, resulting in arrangements which would resemble a form of regional government.
The CDEP scheme in a new policy environment: Options for change?
Discussion Paper 148 / 1997
Abstract:
The Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) scheme was first introduced in 1976-77, by the Fraser Coalition Government. It is currently being reviewed by a team appointed by the Howard Government. The paper discusses the genesis of the scheme, its nature, past reviews and its survival and expansion.
The major achievements of the CDEP scheme include:
How does (and should) DSS treat CDEP participants? (What are these allegations of racial discrimination?)
Discussion Paper 149 / 1997
Abstract:
The Department of Social Security (DSS) treats Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) scheme participants in a unique way, partly as employed low-income wage earners and partly as income-support recipients.
Treatment as income-support recipients derives from the multiple entitlement exclusion in relation to Newstart Allowance at section 614A of the Social Security Act and from the equivalence between CDEP and various social security payments expressed in CDEP guidelines.
Growth of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population, 1991-2001 and beyond
Discussion Paper 150 / 1997
Abstract:
The immediate aim of this paper is to describe the growth path of the Indigenous population during the period 1991-2001 and beyond. While it is possible to do this, it must be emphasised at the outset that the sizes of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations remain unknown. Estimates in this paper are relative to the population size estimated by the 1996 Census.
