'Working for CDEP': A case study of the Community Development Employment Projects scheme in Port Lincoln, South Australia

Diane Smith

Discussion Paper 75 / 1994

Abstract:

The Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) scheme has been subject to a plethora of government reviews, but there are few published case studies of its operation in remote communities, and no accounts of urban schemes. This paper describes the organisation of the CDEP scheme in Port Lincoln, South Australia; one of the first urban CDEP schemes.

Jon Altman and Jin Liu

Discussion Paper 76 / 1994

Abstract:

A major feature of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) has been its regional structure, currently consisting of 36 jurisdictions.

The relative mobility status of Indigenous Australians: Setting the research agenda

John Taylor and Martin Bell

Discussion Paper 77 / 1994

Abstract:

A project under way at the Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research aims to establish, for the first time, comparative national parameters of Indigenous population mobility with particular reference to four distinct mobility perspectives, namely: the overall propensities to migrate, the net effect of migration on spatial redistribution, patterns of migration flow and resulting spatial networks, and the spatio-temporal sequence of individual movements over the life course.


The mobility status of Indigenous Australians

John Taylor and Martin Bell

Discussion Paper 78 / 1994

Abstract:

This paper provides, for the first time, comparative national parameters of Indigenous population mobility. Using a customised 54 region internal migration matrix from the 1991 Census, preliminary findings are presented in regard to three broad perspectives on mobility. First, an analysis is provided of the relative propensity for Indigenous people to migrate.


Mabo and Native Title: Origins and Institutional Implications

Research Monograph 7 / 1994

Abstract:

The High Court's recognition of native title in the Mabo judgements of June 1992 was a major development in Australian law and history. The Commonwealth Government sought to respond to that development and by the latter half of 1993 was attempting to pass native title legislation. The papers collected here explore both the origins and institutional implications of the recognition of native title. The first paper explores the local political and cultural origins of the Mabo case in the Murray Islands of the Torres Strait.

The Housing Need of Indigenous Australians, 1991

Research Monograph 8 / 1994

Abstract:

This monograph presents a rigorous quantitative assessment, against normative criteria, of the housing requirements of Indigenous people, and in doing so makes an important contribution to knowledge about the interrelationship between environmental health and economic status. This work provides, for the first time, national estimates of the housing need of Indigenous Australians, the regional variations between States and Territories and the 36 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission regional councils.
