The majority of Aboriginal families I know in South Australia carry intimate histories of domestic service through living memory and inter-generational blood-memory passed on. Despite the significance of these stories within families, this government-orchestrated system of indentured labour targeting Aboriginal girls remains largely hidden and unacknowledged in the state's dominant and official public narrative of history. This paper considers the historical, unfolding rationale for inter-dependent policies of child-removal, institutionalisation and training, as context to the burgeoning Aboriginal domestic service workforce into the twentieth century. It also examines popular culture discourse, coupled with prevailing racialised attitudes toward Aboriginal women at the time, exemplified through representations of ‘Abo Maids’ in a prominent national women’s magazine, The Australian Woman's Mirror. ‘Archival-poetics’, as an active, embodied reckoning with history and the colonial archive, is also introduced as creative praxis; one way to bridge this labour knowledge gap and contribute to larger stories of resistance, resilience and refusal with healing and decolonising intent.

Abstract Defamation law seeks to balance the protection of reputation and freedom of speech. It is known to have an inhibiting effect on the exercise of free speech, which can affect all forms of writing, including academic critique. Reputation is a highly individual interest. Consequently, defamation law is not an effective means of dealing with aspersions on aspects of collective identity, such as race. Increasingly, however, allegations of racism are being litigated in defamation claims in Australia. Because an allegation of racism affects individual reputation, it is more amenable to protection by defamation law than racist attacks. This article examines Australian defamation law's treatment of race and racism, focusing in particular on liability and defences, with an emphasis on the impact of defamation law on academic writing.

Australian law exerts a vertical force and is unyielding. When I talk to people about that law and how it impacts on us, I can participate in that vertical force and put all that weight on them. The language is dense. The split between normative justice and the textualism of Australian law is no more than moot in community. It is an embodied sense of fury and futility. Who would want to read another journal article that says things are bad, or invest tens of thousands of dollars in the tools needed to comprehend it? Plenty, but not the people I want to reach with this project. Through poetry, which complains of a slim readership but can lament nothing compared to the skeletal readership of legal journals (sorry!), we can excavate, express and teach critical Indigenous theory and critical whiteness theory in Australian law — without being part of that vertical force by either pushing down using its language, or attempting to resist it by deconstructing it. We can do so by distilling legal decisions themselves. In the following pages are poems that are part of an informal and experimental project to try to do just that. The first three poems of the project appear in BLAKWORK and focus on Trevorrow, Mabo, and the Inquest into the Death of Ms Dhu. The poems below focus on Wik, Wotton, Bugmy and Kartinyeri. For both collections I used computational tools to extract the 50-or-so most common trigrams (three word phrases) from key legal decisions in recent history that concern our mobs. I ranked them in accordance with their frequency in these decisions.

The legal concept of the creation of a legal entity is not trailblazing territory of itself, although introducing and advocating for the legal personality of a river may be. However, advocating for the rights of nature on grounds that all humans over-exploit, abuse and contaminate the environment is as misleading as it is untrue. The Indigenous peoples of Australia have a primary, unique and inherent obligation to ‘Care for Country’ according to the Indigenous rule of law; exercising the protection and management of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander environment. The Indigenous rule of law and the obligation to ‘Care for Country’ stretches back many millennia yet Australian domestic laws and policies fail to properly support the exercise of such obligations by Indigenous Australians. In this article I argue, rather than embracing a ‘rights of nature’ property paradigm in Australia, we should instead empower First Nations people to take a pivotal, even primary, role in caring for Country.

This article argues that there would be transformative benefits from expanding opportunities for Indigenous storytelling within plural legal systems such as Australia. The article highlights the successful example of legal storytelling’s inclusion in the inquiry into Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people affected by forcible removals. Such removals were authorised under Australian Commonwealth, State, and Territory Aboriginal protection/welfare laws and policies. This history has entered the awareness of all Australians as resulting in ‘Stolen Generations’. Opportunities exist to expand legal storytelling beyond inquiries and royal commissions into the wider justice system. Embracing legal storytelling by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people recognises their Voices are important. This need for Voice has become a constantly expressed desire, most recently manifested in the Uluru Statement.
