Download or read book Australian Native Title Anthropology written by Kingsley Palmer and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Australian Federal Native Title Act 1993 marked a revolution in the recognition of the rights of Australia’s Indigenous peoples. The legislation established a means whereby Indigenous Australians could make application to the Federal Court for the recognition of their rights to traditional country. The fiction that Australia was terra nullius (or ‘void country’), which had prevailed since European settlement, was overturned. The ensuing legal cases, mediated resolutions and agreements made within the terms of the Native Title Act quickly proved the importance of having sound, scholarly and well-researched anthropology conducted with claimants so that the fundamentals of the claims made could be properly established. In turn, this meant that those opposing the claims would also benefit from anthropological expertise. This is a book about the practical aspects of anthropology that are relevant to the exercise of the discipline within the native title context. The engagement of anthropology with legal process, determined by federal legislation, raises significant practical as well as ethical issues that are explored in this book. It will be of interest to all involved in the native title process, including anthropologists and other researchers, lawyers and judges, as well as those who manage the claim process. It will also be relevant to all who seek to explore the role of anthropology in relation to Indigenous rights, legislation and the state.

Download or read book Decisions Without Reasons written by Jason Donnelly and published by Wordclay. This book was released on 2008 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current system of trial by jury in Australia effectively means that although a jury will provide a verdict of guilty or not-guilty, the jury will not provide reasons for their decisions. The author challenges this system whereby jurors are not permitted to provide a simple, cogent and structured set of reasons for any decisions that they make. The author argues that the Australian jury should be made to provide reasons for any decisions that they make. Accordingly, the author seeks to examine the role of the jury in various legal systems around the world, the connection between jury secrecy and international law, the growing importance of administrators and their role in providing reasons for any decisions that they make, significance in the rule of law and what it can reveal to us about the current jury secrecy rule, and, lastly, the author offers a number of reforms to the current jury secrecy rule.
