A strong media force

Thesis

Islanders great escape

Same time, different results

Media representations of Indigenous Australians

"We just thought this is incredible. Naturally we checked that this is credible, nothing sinister. It certainly seems like an amazing case of survival"

(Millar, 2006)

Australian media representations of Indigenous Australians have generated a stereotype emphasizing negative behaviours and often exclude Indigenous Australians from the media completely.

"We've got people everywhere. We can't move in this bloody joint. We've got rescuers, journalists, photographers. It's only a country pub. And we've got permanent miners [who] live here too." (The Sydney Morning Herald, 2006)

"The event put Beaconsfield on the map, where the Beaconsfield Mine Heritage Centre features a reconstruction of the mine collapse site. Tourism to the township has increased to 40,000 visits a year since the rescue." (Young, 2013)

The Blonde Captive quotes

The disturbing evidence came from Dennis Colson, a senior elder at the front line of treating the petrol-sniffing epidemic ravaging South Australia's Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yunkantjatjara Lands. "They are finding ways of getting around the Opal," Mr Colson told the Senate inquiry into petrol sniffing in remote Aboriginal communities.

  • Australia is the backwash of animal and mankind, fleeing civilization of the western world.
  • The girls we met here were not up to the higher standard of us white men.
  • All the inventions we see the aboriginals use, as far as we can tell are stolen from white men…. They have not created bridges or even play bridge.

• Indigenous art is a national treasure to Australia

• Develop a relationship of respect with the artist

• Indigenous-controlled art centres and art dealers registered with the Indigenous Australian Art Commercial Code of Conduct

• Cheap knock offs from Asia sold as Indigenous work

Opal fuel, which lacks the aromatics that give sniffers their high, has been distributed across 52 Central Australian communities since it was introduced in February last year. The fuel is used in Aboriginal-controlled communities on the APY Lands, and is available from nearby roadhouses.

A federal parliamentary inquiry heard yesterday that addicts were also placing paint in wine cask bladders and adding aerosol fragrance spray in their search for a replacement inhalant to petrol.
