Credit points: 15
Subject outline
Students in this subject examine the various ways in which the law has an impact upon Indigenous Australians. Commencing with an analysis of the nature of sovereignty and the implications of the Mabo judgement, students examine a number of different topics where the law has had (or continues to have) an impact upon the lives of Indigenous Australians, either in an oppressive or beneficial manner. Specifically, the over-representation of Indigenous Australians at every level of the criminal justice system will be addressed. Students will also consider the operation of specific protective legislation, such as the various cultural heritage provisions, and the adequacy of protection afforded for Aboriginal art in intellectual property law.
