| Summary, etc. |
This article examines the dearth of any representative Indigenous role in national Indigenous affairs policy-making and suggests a remedy. After making the case for a specific Indigenous place in national policy-making, the article considers the reasons for the failure of the aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC), the body that filled this brief for a decade and a half. The article then considers three possible ways of ensuring an Indigenous role in the policy-making process: a replacement of ATSIC with specific policy powers; set seats for Indigenous representatives in federal parliament; and the creation of a new elected body whose role would be to review Indigenous affairs legislation. The article concludes that the latter proposal in particular is worth trialing as it would ensure a significant Indigenous voice in national policy-making while learning from the mistakes that led to ATSIC's demise. - Reproduced. |
