In this Garage Edition, Jeremy Cordeaux dives headfirst into some of the week’s most explosive issues — from the Four Corners exposé on organised paedophile networks to the national debate on childcare, political hypocrisy, and absurd new water restrictions. He calls for drastic action on child protection, questions male employment in childcare, mocks Victoria’s “shower police,” and highlights government failures like a disability minister’s office with no wheelchair access. Jeremy also challenges the “Aboriginal Broadcasting Service” label for the ABC, rails against political overreach in land rights, and closes with reflections on faith, equality, and love at first sight. Topics Covered Four Corners investigation exposes paedophile networks and child abuse Jeremy’s call for urgent reform in childcare and stronger protections Debate: Should men be banned from childcare work? Income splitting and tax deductions for home parents and nannies Disability Minister’s office under fire for no wheelchair access Water Conservancy of Victoria proposes four-minute shower limits Heritage building excuses for government accessibility failures ABC accused of bias — rebranded as “Aboriginal Broadcasting Service” Mabo decision and debate over land rights and national unity Universal equality under one law — “One country, one flag” Is God impressed by pomp and ceremony?

Jeremy Eccles etches out the colonial and continued denial of discrimination against Australia's Indigenous communities, through Judy Watson's 2005 series, a preponderance of aboriginal blood. Sixteen black and white documents from the Queensland State Archives, dating back to 1866, map out Australia's discriminatory race-based system of citizenship rights. Now splattered with blood red ink by the artist Judy Watson, they stand central in the Tate Modern's latest show, 'A Year in Art: Australia 1992'. This little recognised year in Australian history witnessed the landmark Mabo Decision, in which the Indigenous Torres Strait Islander Eddie Mabo legally asserted his peoples' pre-colonial rights to their land. As a 'city Aboriginal', Watson's blood-stained book speaks to Britain's unique colonial aspirations for 'White Australia', the oft-silenced violence behind terra nullius, and the ongoing battle for social and historical inclusion still faced by Indigenous Australians.

What happens when religious language reckons with racial injustice. “The original sin of this country still stains our nation today,” said Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden in the wake of the police killing, in May, of George Floyd. The phrase “America’s original sin is slavery” is so widely used in the United States that it is practically cliché. But what does it actually mean? “When you call something sinful, you’re speaking to a transcendent moral norm. As a person of faith, I think that what America does isn’t simply wrong to other human beings. It offends God himself,” says Esau McCaulley, an Assistant Professor of New Testament at Wheaton College in Illinois, and the author of the forthcoming Reading While Black: African American Biblical Interpretation as an Exercise in Hope. In this episode of Life & Faith, we explore the crossover between the metaphor of ‘original sin’ in discussions of racial injustice and the Jewish and Christian idea of human brokenness found right at the beginning of the Bible. Not only does the metaphor invoke collective wrongdoing, but questions of justice and restitution. We also invite Ray Minniecon, a descendant of the Karbi Karbi and Gurang Gurang peoples, an Aboriginal pastor and activist, to examine Australia’s complicity in a similar, but different, ‘original sin’: the dispossession of the indigenous people of Australia. “We’ve been living these lies for far too long,” Ray said, citing the declaration, not overturned until 1992 with the Mabo Decision, that Australia was terra nullius or ‘empty land’. “Until those lies are addressed, which are the sins of the nation, then how on earth can we start to work out a better future?” — Read Esau McCaulley’s New York Times opinion piece ‘What the Bible has to Say About Black Anger’ Buy Esau McCaulley’s forthcoming book Reading While Black: African American Biblical Interpretation as an Exercise in Hope Follow Esau McCaulley on Twitter Listen to Ray Minniecon discuss self-determination and sacrifice on Speaking Out at the ABC

Ad Borsboom, hoogleraar Pacific Studies aan de Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen zegt dat hij hoopt dat de werelwijde aandacht voor de Black Matter beweging in verband met de rassenrellen in de Verenigde Staten ook het hoge aantal Aboriginals dat in gevangenissen zit, onder de aandacht zal brengen, omdat dit de Australische nationale schande is. En het is Mabo Day 2020, 28 jaar geleden kregen de Aboriginals pas hun landrechten toegekend.

Mabo day marks the anniversary of the High Court of Australia's judgement in 1992 in the Mabo case. This is a day of particular significance for Torres Strait Islander Australians. Kulasegaram Sanchayan narrates the story. - பூர்வீக மக்களின் நில உரிமையில் பாரிய மாற்றத்தை ஏற்படுத்திய Eddie Mabo தொடுத்த வழக்கில் தீர்ப்பு வழங்கப்பட்ட நாள் ஜூன் 3, 1992.Terra Nullius, அதாவது இந்த மண்ணில் யாரும் குடியிருக்கவில்லை, என்று பிரித்தானியர்கள் பிரகடனப்படுத்தி, குடியேறி, பூர்வீக மக்களுக்கு நில உரிமை இல்லை என்று சட்டம் இயற்றி சுமார் 200 ஆண்டுகளுக்குப் பின்னர் அந்த சிந்தனைக்கு சவால் விட்ட Edward Koiki Mabo குறித்த நிகழ்ச்சியைப் படைத்தவர் குலசேகரம் சஞ்சயன்.
Dominic tries to sing Ted Cruz out of office on this week’s podcast and retells a story about the senator’s dirty shirt. Then (14:59) fellow anthropologist and environmental humanities podcaster Tim Neale (of Deakin University) joins us from the future in Melbourne. With him we review their very successful recent Anthropocene Campus and its effort to think deep thoughts and deep time through the lens of the elements while visiting exotic local Anthropocene sites like Melbourne’s “poo farm.” We then return to Tim’s own work and talk through his recent book, Wild Articulations: Environmentalism and Indigeneity in Northern Australia (U Hawaii Press, 2017) which traces the rise and fall of Australia’s Wild Rivers Act and the ways in which the aestheticization of environment can contribute to the dispossession of indigenous peoples. We talk about effort to include and exclude rivers and aboriginal peoples from settler liberal politics, the impact of the 1992 Mabo Decision and the negotiation of usufructuary rights, why the Wild Rivers Act was eventually repealed and with what legacy. We then turn to Tim’s new research on fire management, carbon storage and risk modeling in Australia and close by plugging Tim’s own excellent podcast, anthropology@deakin, which you can find at https://soundcloud.com/user-910866758 PS American citizens, please don’t forget to vote!!
