Welcome from new IPC Chair Welcome to the sixth edition of Yarn and my first as the new chair of the Indigenous Policy Committee (IPC).

Firstly I would like to thank the outgoing Chair Terry Mason, who is now Deputy Chair, for his advice and counsel in my new role and for the support of Adam Frogley, the Indigenous Officer and members of the IPC. National Council has endorsed all the Indigenous motions meaning we have union support for: ●● Ensuring Indigenous Employment Officer positions in the higher education sector. ●● Indigenous Research and ERA. ●● Addressing issues at Batchelor Institute. ●● Tackling lateral violence. ●● Stopping the NT Intervention and welfare quarantining.

The IPC has discussed the Indigenous Forum 2011 and are considering ways of further improving the structure to further benefit and strengthen the network of Indigenous unionist working in the university sector.

NTEU represents one third of all Indigenous staff in the higher education sector and I invite you all to recruit just one more each to enjoy the benefits of Indigenous unity!

Yours in unity, Jillian Miller, IPC Chair

Indigenous business at National Council NTEU National Council was held from 30 September–2 October, with members of the Indigenous Policy Committee (IPC) debating a number of important motions pertaining to Indigenous employment, education and social justice issues.

A Welcome to Country, given by Aunty Joy Murphy-Wandin (below), opened National Council 2010 and set the scene for the work of Council members over the coming days. The Indigenous report and motions were the first items of business for National Council, with the outgoing Chair of the IPC, Terry Mason providing an overview of the

work undertaken by the Committee and Indigenous Unit over the previous twelve months.

Indigenous motions Committee members all spoke passionately about the need for the Union to continue to advocate and support the important work of the IPC and Indigenous Unit.

A range of motions were tabled for debate, including: ●● NT Intervention & Welfare Quarantining. ●● Batchelor Institute. ●● Indigenous Research and the ERA. ●● Indigenous Employment Officer positions in the higher education sector. ●● Lateral Violence. ●● IHEAC Draft Indigenous Workforce Strategy. ●● Compulsory Acquisition of Land.

The outgoing Chair of the IPC, Terry Mason and the Victorian Division Councillor, Celeste Liddle gave National Councillors an insight into the deplorable situation faced by communities in the Northern Territory, who live under the welfare quarantining regime imposed by the previous Federal Government.

Indigenous Policy Committee members opened debate on the need to support members, students and Indigenous communities in the campaign to save Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education (BIITE). BIITE is currently negotiating a part-

It is feared that Australia’s main dedicated remote tertiary education provider for Indigenous communities, will lose its status and ability to provide educational opportunities and pathways to employment for remote Indigenous communities.

Issues pertaining to the sphere of Government were also debated, including Indigenous research and input to the Excellence in Research Australia (ERA) model and the Indigenous Higher Education Advisory Councils (IHEAC) draft workforce strategy. These two motions are vital to ensure a holistic approach to Indigenous research through the ERA and to see greater employment of Indigenous academic and general staff in the higher education sector.

The concept of, and issues related to lateral violence were raised for debate. This issue has received a greater level of impetus and importance across many branches of the NTEU and is a term that describes a form of bullying that includes gossip, shaming and attempts to socially isolate others.

This form of bullying is having a great effect upon many Indigenous staff in the higher education sector and the NTEU will conduct research into this issue to develop an effective policy on the National level.

The WA Division and the IPC jointly tabled a motion on the compulsory acquisi-

tion of land at James Price Point for the development of the Woodside Gas plan.

All motions tabled by the IPC were passed unanimously by Council delegates, with many Branch and Division representatives seeking further information on how they can assist with campaigning on the issues debated.

The IPC will continue to provide updates to members on the progress of the motions throughout the course of 2011.

Professor Steve Larkin Along with the NTEU Indigenous business and motions, National Council delegates were given an insightful and astute presentation from Australia’s only Pro-Vice Chancellor–Indigenous Leadership and the Chair of the Indigenous Higher Education Advisory Council (IHEAC), Professor Steve Larkin from Charles Darwin University.

Professor Larkin gave a speech that provided an analysis of the current levels of Indigenous staffing in higher education, and reflected upon the exclusion of Indigenous perspectives in higher education due to epistemological racism.

Professor Larkin also outlined IHEAC employment initiatives; with a particular focus on the National Indigenous Higher Education Workforce Strategy (NIHEWS).

Indigenous bargaining claim update The current round of bargaining continues at universities across the country, with the NTEU achieving good outcomes for Indigenous members. These achievements include securing a numerical/percentage target for Indigenous employment, a senior Indigenous appointment, instituting/advancing Indigenous employment committees, cultural and ceremonial leave and university-wide Indigenous employment strategies.

The table below provides an overview of what has been achieved.

These bargaining outcomes are welcomed and provide effective measurable outcomes that give greater opportunities for current and future Indigenous staff members at these institutions; but the real work is only beginning.

Special online article

Reflections on the Wave Hill Walk-Off 40 years on, an activist’s view In August 1966, Aboriginal pastoral workers staged a walked off from Lord Vesteys’ cattle station at Wave Hill in the Northern Territory. Initially, the Aboriginal stockmen expressed their unhappiness with their terrible working conditions and impertinent treatment. Momentum continued to build, fed by the injustice faced by the Aboriginal workers, leading to the now famous walk off – known to the Gurindji as ‘Freedom Day’.

The following year, with the assistance of Dexter Daniels, the North Australian Workers’ Union Aboriginal organiser, the stockmen and their families moved from Vesteys’ cattle station to Wattie Creek and claimed their land back.

The strike and land rights struggle went on for about nine years. In 1975, Prime Minister Gough Whitlam poured a handful of soil into Vincent Lingiari’s hands, formally returning some of their land and ensuring the preservation of the Gurindji’s culture.

Yarn presents an online article by Dr Brenda Croft from the David Unaipon Centre at UniSA, with the assistance of Frances Wyld, that provides a reflection on the Wave Hill Walk Off from an activist’s view point on what was achieved then and the path toward the future.

Health linked to education and employment When compared with other women in Australia, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are considered the most socially and economically disadvantaged and have the poorest health status. As research on the social determinants of health shows, socio-economic disadvantage is strongly associated with poor health outcomes. The social determinants of health include education, employment, housing, income, racism and many other issues.

The new National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women’s Health Strategy launched on 20 May at the National Women’s Health Conference specifically speaks to education and employment: two central issues for the NTEU. Bronwyn Fredericks, Karen Adams and Sandy Angus led the development of the Strategy. The work was funded by the Department of Health and Ageing to undertake consultations with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and to provide input into the new National Women’s Health Policy (AWHP).

Over 400 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women participated in consultations to identify their priorities and needs.

The Action Areas and Recommendations presented in this Strategy were raised and discussed by the women who contributed through the consultation process.

Employment strategies and designated positions are discussed. So too, is the need for employers to work out whether they want an Indigenous worker just to ‘fit in’ within the work environment and who will organise a NAIDOC display once a year and canvas Indigenous people or whether they want to challenge the way their organisation functions and their core values or whether they want to do both. Some of this information could be utilised to make employment strategies within Australian universities more effective.

The Strategy also explains that a number of women expressed concerns regarding superannuation, early retirement provisions and Centrelink entitlements along with how dependent status was recognised. It is stated that the rules need to be changed to reflect chronic disease patterns

and disability as experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and the classifications of who and who is not a dependent. This also supports the work that the NTEU is doing in this area for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The Strategy is available online at www.awhn.org.au

Clinton Grybas Indigenous Scholarship In honour of one of Australia’s most gifted and promising young journalists, Clinton Grybas, the Red Dust Role Models foundation has established the Clinton Grybas Media Scholarship.

Clinton had an exceptional talent that earned the respect and admiration of some of the industry’s greats. His professional approach to commentating and reporting on all sports was second to none and his passion for his media work was an inspiration to all. Clinton’s sudden death in 2008 was a shock to all of those associated with the media industry.

This scholarship is but one way of ensuring Clinton’s legacy lives on is through this Indigenous media scholarship.

Clinton’s Indigenous connection was through Red Dust where he had travelled to remote Indigenous communities to promote health and wellbeing. He was about to become a Red Dust role model when his sudden death meant an end to all his dreams.

The Scholarship is a prestigious award aimed at providing assistance to Indigenous students studying or completing work placements in numerous media fields including journalism, radio broadcasting, television and production/presenting.

Scholarship recipients will receive $5,000 and the opportunity to connect with media opportunities through the scholarship organisers, Red Dust. The scholarship also encourages the recipients to then use their developed skills and attributes within their community so as to profile unique and positive community stories and inspire the next generation of media students.

For further information on Red Dust, visit www.reddust.org.au or email admin@reddust.org.au
