Podcasts about aboriginal children

Christmastide - John 1:1-18 - Weaving the Word. In this time of Christmas tide we have decided to revisit a stunning sermon from 3 years ago. I invite you to take this moment: breathe, relax and immerse yourself in the poetics of palawa woman Alison Overeem as she reflects upon the Gospel of John, weaving stories into the flight of butterflies. Alison Overeem is a proud palawa woman from South-East Tasmania who is driven by culture, family, empowerment and creating safe spaces to build hope and healing. Alison is passionate about raising awareness of Aboriginal culture and history and the rights of women in society. As a result, Alison was a past member of the Tasmanian Women's Council. While working in aged care at the age of 16, Alison studied for a Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood) and graduated in 1989. Alison established the Aboriginal Children's Centre at West Moonah in 1989. As Director of the Aboriginal Children's Centre from 1989 to 2013, she helped design a state-of-the-art, award-winning, culturally inclusive children's centre at Risdon Cove. Alison believes she was fortunate to be at the forefront of developing a multifunctional Aboriginal service, the first of its kind in Tasmania. It was, in fact, a precursor to the Child and Family Centres rolled out across Tasmania in recent years. In 2013, Alison was appointed as the Leprena Manager, Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress (UAICC Tasmania). Alison has been instrumental in broadening Leprena's engagement, networking and connections. Leprena's mission is to be the lead provider of cultural and spiritual learning and immersion, uniting First and Second Peoples through Tasmanian Aboriginal culture, and the National UAICC story, across the nation. Leprena promotes a shared learning and unlearning between First and Second Peoples and provides projects and programs in a culturally and spiritually safe space by facilitating gatherings centred on cultural, emotional and social wellness. Leprena also provides training to church communities, not-for-profits, government and non-government organisations and educational groups. Alison is also heavily involved with multiple advocacy, policy and strategic planning committees. She is a member of the UAICC National Executive, Uniting Care board of Australia, Uniting Church Assembly Standing Committee, Advocate for the Walking Together circle for the National UCA Assembly, co-chair of the UCA Vic Tas Walking Together committee and various others.   Alison has made numerous contributions to publications and resources nationally around culturally inclusive practice models of service delivery for Aboriginal communities. She has also been involved in advocacy and policies impacting social justice movements and climate change. Alison has a Bachelor of Education and an Advanced Diploma in Management.

Welcome to Episode 369 of the Clive Barker Podcast, and the 14th episode of our Dungeons and Dragons game, Jericho Squad 77, set in the capitol city of Yzordderrex in the second dominion.  Today squad 77 meets a new team member, and they decide to split the party with disastrous results! And now here's Bentley Widget to fill you in.  Just a few months ago Squad 77 was lead by my friend, Cassius Briar.  Together we went on a dangerous mission, where just about everyone was killed. Everyone but me and Cassius.  Cassius left the squad, and I had to started recruiting more people.  It's hard to find people for such a dangerous job, but we got a Seerkind named Musette, a Eurhetemec named Chur ‘Do'Vir, Zoey, a cleric of a goddess I'm not familiar with, and Ralph a Nightbreed Lizard person wrapped up in the severed hand of his god, and let's not forget the talking magical sea bird. All this weird stuff is just par for the course with the orgaization we work for.  The new squad has discovered that Cassius Briar has started a dangerous movement called “The Aboriginal Children” and that he's the one who caused the deaths of the original squad 77, and several other squads as well. Through some weird circumstances, the group ended up banishing him to Hell, and now we've just been broken into by a bunch of Nullinacs and Oviates, trying to get to Chur ‘Do' Vir's prophetic device, the Boston Bowl.  During the Break Sponsor Don Bretram's Celebrate Imagination  Check Out the Art of Asya Yordanova and Bird Ninja Art (Shayla Sackinger) Maps of the Reconciled Dominions and Yzordderrex by Marco Staines of @MarcStaineArt Ben Warren Composer Little Spark Films (The Torturer on Plex and Tubi) Eureka!

For many Aboriginal language groups across South Australia, the word ‘tjindu' translates to sun or sunshine, so it was the perfect choice to name a foundation whose purpose is to help Aboriginal children and young people shine their brightest.The Tjindu Foundation aims to build resilience, school retention and employment prospects for the Aboriginal students who participate in their engagement and cultural education programs.When April Lawrie and Pauly Vandenbergh established the Aboriginal community-controlled organisation at the end of 2019/early 2020, they had no idea that activities would quickly come to a grinding halt, given a certain global pandemic – before they'd really even got started.But as their roles as South Australia's Commissioner for Aboriginal Children and Young People, and the National Diversity Talent Manager at the AFL respectively would suggest, this did not stop April and Pauly.Now, two and a half years later, Tjindu's programs are helping young people shine.

April Lawrie was appointed South Australia's first Commissioner for Aboriginal Children and Young People in late 2018.Until now, the Mirning and Kokatha woman was working in partnership with the Children's Commissioner, but a change in legislation has given Ms Lawrie independent authority to investigate systemic issues facing young Aboriginal people.In this episode, the Commissioner reflects on her first term, why she is reapplying for the role, and how she would use her investigative powers to improve the lives of Indigenous youth.

Mary Wooldridge is a woman who believes that if you want change on the big social issues then you get engaged in purposeful action to get policy change and action taken. As Director of the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, the issues currently in her sights are gender inequality, including closing the 14.2% gender pay gap, and ensuring that women and men are equally represented, valued and rewarded in the workplace.

This included establishing the Commissioner for Children and Young People and Australia's first Commissioner for Aboriginal Children and Young People, instigating the Shergold Report into Reform of the Human Services Sector to improve partnerships between the government and community sector organisations, implementing the National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children 2010-2022 and being instrumental in establishing Our Watch, the national family violence prevention agency.  Prior to being elected to Parliament, Mary was the CEO of The Foundation for Young Australians and worked with McKinsey & Company and Consolidated Press Holdings. She is now Chair of the Australian board of Global Citizens - whose mission is to end extreme poverty worldwide by 2030 In this podcast, Mary speaks to Claire about why the Liberal Party should implement quotas for women, why we need to be ever vigilant about gender equality in the workplace and why Australia needs to invest in all industries in our COVID world, not just male-dominated industries like construction, to ensure men and women can both benefit equally from any government-funded recovery.

With Aboriginal children significantly overrepresented in care across the nation and in South Australia, the SA Department of Child Protection is undergoing a re-orientation of the way it works with Aboriginal families. It has recently released three policy statements – a Reconciliation Action Plan, Aboriginal Employment Policy and a departmental Aboriginal Action Plan. Significantly the Aboriginal Action Plan adopts the Aboriginal Child Placement Principles, which have been championed by community groups in recent years.With the launch of the reports, Lucy Kingston spoke to two key Aboriginal staff at the Department of Child Protection - Lenore Bagnara, a Narungga Kaurna woman who is Aboriginal Employment Consultant and Tracy Rigney a Narungga Njarrindjeri woman, who is Director of Aboriginal Practice at the Department.

On today's program, we speak to Professor Lester Irabinna Rigney after a forum held at SAHMRI on the theme of this year's NAIDOC Week - Voice Treaty Truth.Professor Rigney is a researcher who is investigating the rights of the child, looking at different ways we can improve the disparities between Aboriginal Children and non-Aboriginal Children. He says that Australia has 'educational amnesia' and that we urgently need to develop a culturally responsive schooling that recognises the knowledge and intelligence that all children bring to school.He argues that Aboriginal children should have a direct voice in the development of any treaty.

Guest speakers Justin Mohamed, Victorian Commissioner for Aboriginal Children and Young People, and Joumanah El Matrah, CEO of the Australian Muslim Women’s Centre for Human Rights, join Nous Group’s Tim Orton and Deb May to discuss the continuing barriers to inclusion for Australians from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. The panel discusses how the dangers of discrimination and unconscious bias hold back individuals, companies, communities, and the country as a whole. Justin and Joumanah share their personal stories of facing racism, suspicion and exclusion and going on to become leaders in their fields, and share their advice for how these dangerous and restrictive attitudes can be dismantled and eventually eradicated. Collectively, the panel discusses how Australian organisations can create and sustain equal opportunities for individuals of all backgrounds to contribute and thrive in their workplace, thereby building stronger businesses and communities, and eventually a stronger nation, piece by piece.

A Gooreng Gooreng man from Bundaberg in Queensland, Justin Mohamed has spent much of his career working in the Aboriginal health and sport sectors, improving outcomes and connections to culture for Aboriginal people, including children. He is a leader in reconciliation, having served as the CEO of Reconciliation Australia for three years until 2017, and was most recently the CEO of Equity Health Solutions. Currently he is the Victorian Government Commissioner for Aboriginal Children and Young People. This is the second event of Victorian Fabians' Spring Series for 2018, at which we'll discuss reconciliation, the strengthening of First Nations' voices, and their link with equality. It will feature talks by Dean Parkin and Justin Mohamed. That the idea of reconciliation and the creation of a mechanism for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander self-determination, on an equal footing, in the affairs of Australia dates back at least 40 years is itself testimony to the intransigence of the Australian political system in its lack of recognition of First Nations' voices. Reconciliation Australia defines "Reconciliation" as based on five principles; Race relations based on trust and respect, free of racism Equality and equity of participation in a range of life opportunities, also recognising the unique rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples Institutional integrity of political, business and community organisations to support reconciliation Unity, so that our shared identity recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and heritage Historical acceptance, meaning that the wrongs of the past and the necessity for their redress are accepted by all Australians These are big steps for Australia to take. How can we take them and emerge with greater equality?

In Episode 8 of The Rights Track, Todd talks to Professor Rhoda Howard-Hassmann, International Chair of Human Rights at Wilfred Laurier University in Canada about state food crime, what it is, where it's happening, why she believes it should be considered an international human rights crime and the challenges around prosecuting it. 0.00-4.48 How Rhoda got interested in food crime. She mentions an article by David Marcus which discusses four levels of state food crime: intentional, reckless, indifference and incompetence and argues that the intentional and reckless starvation of citizens should be considered an international crime. Rhoda explains how she produced a case study for each of the levels: on North Korea, Zimbabwe, Israel and Venezuela. She has also examined malnutrition in aboriginal people in Australia and Canada. Discussion of the law and the legal basis for these claims. Rhoda argues that food crime should have same status as torture. Existing human rights laws include the rights to be free from malnutrition as laid out in Article 11 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. International Criminal Court has a clause prohibiting extermination of populations. Laws have not been consolidated though and possible or likely punishments are not clear so a case has never been made. 4.48-12.55 Rhoda mentions the important work of the Indian economist and philosopher Amartya Sen who argued that famine was caused by countries who did not allow political opposition, elections or freedom of the press based in part on the Great Famine in Ireland in the 19th Century. In her book, State Food Crimes published by Cambridge University Press, Rhoda examines famines in countries with totalitarian regimes: Soviet Union and Ukraine in the 1930s, China in 50s and 60s and Cambodia in the 1970s. She also looked at countries where there was some level of democracy e.g. Canada (but not for aborigines) and Ireland (voting for the English but not for the Irish) and in Germany post World War 1. Rhoda outlines and explains four additional rights that she developed from this research: right to citizenship, right to mobility, right to own your land/property and right to work. 12.55 -17.10 Further discussion about Venezuela and the effect of price controls and other actions of Hugo Chavez' government including hijacking of media for his own purposes, land invasions and the rise of political violence up to and since his death in 2013 and the uncertainty and continuing political violence and protests surrounding the new Government of Nicolas Maduro including reports of power and food rationing. 17.10 - end Discussion around accountability - who can be held accountable by whom and how for the sorts of things that Rhoda's research reveals? Rhoda uses North Korea as an example of a country that could potentially be taken to court for starving its own people. She points out that other concerns about North Korea's nuclear capability and the wider threat of this to the region and other parts of the world tend to take precedence. Todd summarises points made around the inter-relatedness of rights, how international human rights law is powerful in some areas and not in others, how accountability is difficult to prove and the competing priorities around power and access to weapons etc.  Further information and resources Famine Crimes in International Law, David Marcus, The American Journal of International Law Colonialism and Under development in Ghana Rhoda Howard-Haussmann's blog Rights and Rightlessness: Rhoda Howard-Haussmann on Human Rights Related articles from Rhoda's blog Hugo Chavez and the Right to Food in Venezuela Venezuelan Update: Food Situation Worsens Venezuela: Demonstrations and Repression under Nicolas Maduro North Korean Slave Labour Crimes against humanity in North Korea Cannibalism in North Korea North Korea: Still one of the world's most awful places to live (and die) African Union Chooses Dictator Mugabe as New Chair Property Rights of West Bank Palestinians Water Rights of West Bank Palestinians Canada: Malnourishment of Aboriginal Children 21st Century Malnutrition among Canada's Aboriginal Peoples Other related articles from OpenGlobalRights Legal mobilization: a critical first step to addressing economic and social rights Can legal interventions really tackle the root causes of poverty?

A reply to Eric Posner

For more than 120 years, thousands of Aboriginal Children in British Columbia were sent to Indian Residential (boarding) Schools that were funded by the Federal Government and run by the churches. The first residential schools were established in the 1840s and the last residential school closed in 1996. For over 100 years, until 1948, Residential School was compulsory by law for status Indians under 16 years of age. Mortality rates at residential schools ranged from 30% – 60% and included epidemics of tuberculosis from poor living conditions, compulsory sterilization as well as nutritional and other experiments. In March 1998, the Government made a Statement of Reconciliation – including an apology to Aboriginal people who were sexually or physically abused while attending residential school. In September of 2013 the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada hosted a National Conference in Vancouver, September 18 – 21 ( http://www.trc.ca ).
