Challenges for sustainable governance in the development and implementation of comprehensive mining agreements
Wednesday, 21 May 2008
Agreement making, especially through Indigenous Land Use Agreements, is an increasingly important aspect of native title practice. Major mining agreements in particular are typically highly complex legally-driven documents which focus on meeting or reconciling the various parties' perceived aspirations and interests within a risk management framework. However, comparatively little attention is given to agreements' necessarily intercultural character, and their roles in social and cultural as well as economic transformation.
Why the 'new direction' in Federal Indigenous affairs policy is as likely to 'fail' as the old directions
Topical Issue 5 / 2006
May 2006 - Policy Failure
"Why the 'new direction' in Federal Indigenous affairs policy is as likely to 'fail' as the old directions" by David F. Martin. An edited transcript of a seminar delivered at CAEPR on May 10, 2006.
Money, business, and Aboriginal culture
Issue Brief 18 / 1997
A central issue facing Australian policy makers is how to meet the principles of equity and social justice in access to economic benefits for diverse regional, ethnic and Aboriginal populations, while at the same time meeting broad national goals of economic development. This issue is particularly complex in the case of Aboriginal people, and the discussion paper Money, business and culture: issues for Aboriginal economic policy by Dr David Martin raises a number of significant questions for both policy makers and Aboriginal people themselves.
Linking accountability and self-determination in Aboriginal organisations
Issue Brief 7 / 1996
Accountability in Aboriginal affairs has been receiving national prominence over recent months. The Coalition government proposes to move from what it terms 'the symbolic' to effective service delivery in Aboriginal affairs. There is an ongoing and sometimes hostile public debate about the accountability of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) itself.

Enumerating the Aboriginal population of remote Australia: methodological and conceptual issues
Discussion Paper 91 / 1995
Abstract:
Despite claims of underenumeration of Indigenous people, a basic problem in establishing the demography of remote Indigenous populations remains the lack of well documented and adequately controlled independent checks against census data. This paper attempts to provide such verification by comparing population counts and age distributions from the last two ABS enumerations of the Aboriginal population of Aurukun, Cape York Peninsula, with the results of detailed ethnographic surveys of the same population.
Money, business and culture: Issues for Aboriginal economic policy
Discussion Paper 101 / 1995
Abstract:
A central issue facing policy makers is how to meet principles of equity and social justice in access to economic benefits for Australia’s diverse regional, ethnic and Indigenous populations, while at the same time ensuring broad national goals of economic development are met. This issue is particularly complex in the case of Aboriginal people.
Linking accountability and self-determination in Aboriginal organisations
Discussion Paper 116 / 1996
Abstract:
The issue of accountability in Indigenous affairs has recently received national prominence. Accountability— usually meaning financial accountability to government or to the wider public—is often seen as being potentially inconsistent with Indigenous self-determination. This paper broadly delineates a conceptual framework which links 'organisational self-determination' with a notion of 'internal accountability', that is the accountability of an organisation to its Indigenous members, clients or constituency.
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.
The supply of alcohol in remote Aboriginal communities: potential policy directions from Cape York
Discussion Paper 162 / 1998
Abstract:
This Discussion Paper aims to outline some of the key issues surrounding alcohol availability and consumption in remote Aboriginal communities, focusing on those in Cape York. The legislative and policy background to the contemporary alcohol situation is outlined. Sales data from the Council-run alcohol outlets are presented for four sample Aboriginal communities, which indicate extraordinarily high alcohol consumption levels.
