  In 1990, through a collective action, members of the 16 Aboriginal communities of Cape York Peninsula came together to form the Cape York Land Council.

  The Central Land Council is a council of Aboriginal people representing our own communities. It is a statutory representative body representing Aboriginal people in the Central Australian region - an area of 780,000 square kilometres. The roots of the Central Land Council lie in the history of the Aboriginal struggle for justice in Central Australia - events like the famous strike and walk off by the Gurindji people at Wave Hill cattle station in 1966. In response to Aboriginal demands, in February 1973 the Commonwealth Government set up a Royal Commission under Mr Justice Woodward to inquire into how land rights might be achieved in the Northern Territory.

Australian and indigenous politics

• Interview with Noel Pearson
  Noel Pearson is again making people feel uncomfortable. The Right, bitter because of his land rights activism, are unsettled because he now seems to agree with them on welfare. The Left are reeling, out of their comfort zone, because he points out their attitudes may have been simplistic, even wrong. Enigmatic, hard to categorise, Pearson is asking for a paradigm shift in approaches to welfare policy. Is he onto something?
