MORE ON THE NSW GREEN PAPER ON ABORIGINAL AFFAIRS

The period for submissions concerning the Green Paper closed on June 2nd. A copy of the submission sent by the National Executive Committee on behalf of the Association is provided below.

Drar Sir re N S Govern6ent Green Paper "New Dirutiona in Aboriginal Aff~irs".

Zhe Australian Association of Consulting Archacologlsts Inc., v& lib to take this opportunity to c-t on the government's Green Paper m Aboriginal Affairs. Our Asrociation, is a ~ t i o ~ l ~ S ~ i a t i ~ of profeS8id archaeologists wrldng in the consulting field . llury of our mabers liaise regularly vith Aborigtnal &ad Cormcils on behalf of developers ud povenaat departments, over -t options for Aboriginal sites.

Our Association like the majority of p p l e vho m p a d e d to the earlier Discuaaim -t, vould prefer that there be "no sianifiunt di-tling of the system established by the Lnd Rights Act of 1983". It is of c a m r n that vhile the current docmmt notea this preference (H) the govarrat's p r o m dou not appar to have been mdified U a d t .

lh Green Paper provides only a sketchy outline of the go-ts proposal d . ~ y points remain unclarified. It is difficult therefore to assess all implications of the proposed duwes ud to provide specific cormts. Our Asrociation is concennd that ywr g o w m a t aedcs tk approval of the pmple of this state on an issue vhich vill so dmtiully affect the lives of so n n y , Ylthout first presenting all the hu.

Despite the lack of detail there are mjor points of concern vhich m idiately obvious. lhae are listed belw:

1. IaSLGADIK; STmml's: Ihc docuvat contains misleading and unsubstantiated stataats. m are often emotive in tom and reflect the authora opinion nther thn

' the facts. e.g. "Replace and streamline the present ccpktsas, umorkable and politicised three - tier Lnd Camcil system.. .." (PP 3.8)

At no stage in this or the preceeding document vaa it utabliahed that the system was unvorkable. Sa problem vere quoted as vere soa ~ c c u s a s . No quantative d y s i s urs done to establish the overall u i t or otherwise of the system.

Zhe A K A Inc.. is comprised of a b e r s uhow day to b y wrk fmolm liaiaon and negotiation vith a variety of Lnd Camcila at L a d ud Regional lwel. Ihc experience of W mabera does not support the v i m upteased by the author(s) of the Green Paper.

clurly the M bracil Systr im politicid in tht it is a y a t r bud on e l u t d reprwu~tatim. Ihc un rd. b. nid for all l m l a of g u v e m t including orgu~iutioru run by e1.ct.d eaittw. To m the provision for elected repreaentatim can only be wen U a return to paternalistic policies of years part ud is surely curiau khviour fra a government tht claim to be progrusive.

2. ABORIGINAL AFFAIRS CO1(I(ISSON:

The Coarmission is to comprise a full time Ccqaissiomr acting as C h a i m of a Bosrd of several part-time Colaissioners (p5). These people vho are to be appointed by the Premier, vill provide advice to him, determine the priorities of the t2Imission and c0ntr01 the budget and expenditure.

There is no assurance that any of these people vill be of Aboriginal ducent or even have M understanding of, or cdtment to Aboriginal people.

There is no accountability to the Aboriginal people of the State. nor e m to the proposed lrnd Dcwlopmcnt Camcild bacause there is no elected representation.

Uhile it is claid that the proposed Aboriginai LBnd and Dcvclopat Act vill 'presenc the local Aboriginal ovnership ud mnagaent of all lands ud assets nav held under the hnd Rights Act:" it is not dear hov this vill be achieved. It nut be of concern to Aborigid pople that the nrnkr of Councils vill be reduced. DDar this un ..aLg.ntim of neighbouring land Cnmcils or complete restructuring of barndariea 7 Who deddea to vhich Local Land and Dcvcloprnt Council existiug landholdings vill go ?

There ue no detaila of hov the proposed camcilo vill be stnrcnrrrd. Will administrative staff or executive positima be elected by locsl Aborigind pcople or appointed? Will all Aboriginal people vithin a locality be eligible to be part of on of the proposed earncild 7 If so. vhat vill the definition of Aboriginalicy be in the proposed legisktion ?

As kr d r d y been pointed out while the proposed councils mny provide fadbck or opinions to the Con6ission there are no provisions to m r e that these vill be heeded or acted upon.

Ihc d-t States that "The central prpose of the m u legislation is 10 provide a wrknble systap vhich does not 6ake undistic d a w d s on l d eormities. whose members have little training or experience in administration ud finance."

This is not a convincing justification as effectively the legislation - -17 to b k k wlf d a t * K d ~ t h for AborQiId poph. % p r o w of lack of training ud q m r i a e e could more simply (ud probably mm cheaply) be aolved by providi* t h thn by d i ~ t l i n g the lwisktim.

Our d r m h v e oberved that many hnd CoMcils u e solving problw relating to the lack of auch skills by buying this upertin in the form of qualified -1- rsther than depending m voluntary wrk by d r s . Ineraaed funding vould allw this practise to k applied more videly.

Vhile the proposal allow for a continuation o. funding via the 7.52 of m n d M Tan M provided for in the (anl Rights Act.1983: cllkly there vill be a reduction in real tens of the -t of .any available for the councils and Aboriginal Services generally. Under the proposed legislation this 7.5% vill also be used to fund spcid purpose or dfinrtive u t i m type progmmcs in g o v e l n a t deprtats (p9).

lhre is no profcrsid, detailed asses-t of the security of the -tat fund under the proposed reduced funding unngaats. Will there be sufficient funds to support the hnd ud Dcvelopcnt Councils after the expiry date in the sunset clause ?

On page 1 the readers is told that "The policy of services vill be dearly defined.. Unfortunately it is m w r stated YHW this confusing ud uMarving term vill be clarified. Clcarly it is not in this document.

Ihc lcag tem aim of this undefined policy is .:that all State services should a t the needs of all groups in the corunity, including Aboriginal people." It is extremely doubtful vhether the proposed legislation vill assist in this g d . Under this legislation it vill be the role of the Carissim to monitor government departments and ensure that they effectively r a t the needa of Aboriginal people (pp 5 d 6). Where n u n a u y the brission vill devise and fund spccial 7 a i d at rating t h e needs.

Several questions need to be considered.

1) Since the Colisaim is colprised of appointees vho not be of Aboriginal descmt . . Bov are "Aboriginal needsn to be assessed ? What role do the proposed Land and Developoat Councils have in this P-?

2) If bvcrrart deprtmts can get this utenml funding from the Coliuion to rat their responsibilities in regard to the needs of Aboriginal people then vhat is the likelihood that they vill ultimately opt to met this sparse frm their m budget.

l h m u e same positive idus vhich are apparent L this d-t. It is unfortwute that the Governmmts "..clear comitrcnt to repeal the Aboriginal IAM Rifits kt, 1983 . . Y p 8 ) , appnm to b. blinkrriw t h a to the possibility of a t m t h e n i w the aisting l&slatlm by

Breccia by TFC

Archaeologists must all be snowed under with work at the moment, because I haven't had much feedback on the news/gossip front. An exception is the advice, printed below, on how to avoid being struck by lightning during fieldwork. This was supplied by Laila H. and I know she's pretty busy at present, so thanks f o r the effort Laila. The rest will have to be apocryphal or speculative (which offends my integrity as a scientist ! ) . I'll leave you to guess which is which.

Gossip

By now everyone must know about Jo McD's forthcoming "happy event" (sometime in September I'm told) but how many of you are knitting beanies or bootees so she can take her/him out into the field at the earliest opportunity? I have a pattern for a Chinese back-carrier if anyone wants to borrow it.

Rumour has i t , from a "reliable sourcet1 close to the inaction, that the Sydney Uni. Prehistory lectureship appointment has been postponed till at least the end of the year. In the meantime a mystery "guest lecturess" will be asked to fill in. At least one AACA member is gnashing teeth and tearing hair.

Is it our own Sue Mac or does she have a Qld double? Mentioned on a recent ABC Science Show, deep in the Daintree, was "colleague, Sue Macintyre", collecting bird shit for an ecological study. Perhaps we'll find out at her talk for AACA on 5th September.

Technology

Recent use of a plastic meat-baster during an excavation (to suck up water seeping into the trench, very effective for your small-scale flood) led to a discussion re archaeological technology in general. For example, are there differences in male/female solutions to practical problems in the field/office? And are there any items of technology that have been specifically invented for archaeology? Apart from computer programs (eg the famous/dreaded MINARK) I can't think of any, can you?

Keeping Fit 7 & A A 1-L- L.ly I L I c L l ~ , uvllu, iii'ich kl deiiiand f ~ i . his stzhvartr iess h t h e field, as well as other useful attributes, keeps f i t by digging the garden, mowing the lawn and chopping wood. He also walks a lot and was spotted one night last week, after a hard day's survey in the rugged Blue Mountains, trudging along a remote road in outer Sydney, with a pack on his back, in pouring rain, in the dark, singing! Was he running away from home, going round the bend or just reflecting the cdibre of archaelogical consultants in general?

Food

Avoid: Camden Valey Inn - overpriced, very dreary food. Recommended: Camden's Greek Cafe - try their Greek salad and Souvlaki. The proprietor guessed we were from out of town, he said the locals only order fish & chips or Chinese!

Which member of the NEC was in the process of excavating a rockshelter to determine whether it was an Aboriginal site when she looked upwards and noticed a faint hand stencil on the rockshelter wall? And another member of the NEC is still pondering over a letter concerning a job with a NSW heritage agency situated not far from Penshurst which contained the opening sentence,

'In regard to your application for the abovementioned position, I regret to inform you that you have been successful.'

.SW). The workshop is intended to provide a forum for discussing the 'state of the art' in interpretation of the archaeological record of the southern tablelands of NSW.

Details of venue and timing have not been finalised but it will probably be held over two days in October or November 1989, in Canberra. At this stage, papers are called from people who have undertaken consultancies or research on the southern tablelands in archaeology or related disciplines. It is hoped that there will be a range of papers including case studies, overviews , and thought provoking hypotheses. People who do not wish to give papers but who feel they could contribute to discussions are also invited to attend.

Suggested themes that papers might' address are: - * ethnography/ethnohistory * Aboriginal significance * scientific values - assessing significance, comparability of site

recording and analysis * approaches to site protection * site formation processes - survey techniques, effects c l erosion, etc. * economic implications of site preservation * educational and heritage values

Other themes may also be suggested.

Intending speakers should submit a title and an abstract by 31 August 1989 to Sue Feary Regional Archaeologist National Parks and Wildlife Service PO Box 733 Queanbeyan NSW 2620

It is anticipated that the proceedings of the workshop will be published by National Parks and Wildlife Service. Final copies of papers, with diagrams should be submitted prior to the workshop.
