Question 1 Social Justice and Human Rights Issues A Global Perspective (20 marks) Use Sources A and B and your own knowledge, to answer parts (a) to (d). Source A Everyone has a fair idea of what human rights means. Everyone knows you have the right to live a safe, healthy life free from fear of persecution, hunger, torture and homelessness. Human rights are about having the opportunity to live as we would choose to live, without gross interference or violation, and having reasonable means to do so. The most basic of all rights is our right to life. It includes everything essential for human survival and security: the right to freedom from any form of genocide, the right to freedom from violence and the right to adequate food, shelter and health care. Human rights aren t something you have to earn. They are not something you have and others don t. We all have human rights by virtue of our birth and human dignity. They are not something governments can give us or take away from us. From the National Community Education Program, Tracking Your Rights, 1998 Source B The Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination has recognised that measures that seek to protect the culture and identity of Indigenous peoples may constitute legitimate differential treatment and therefore be non-discriminatory. The Committee has recognised that Indigenous peoples worldwide: Have been, and are still being, discriminated against, deprived of their human rights and fundamental freedoms and in particular that they have lost their land and resources . . . Consequently the preservation of their culture and their historical identity has been and still is jeopardised. From the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, General Recommendation XXIII Indigenous peoples, United Nations, August 1997 Question 1 continues on page 3 2 Marks Question 1 (continued) (a) Source A refers to issues that were also discussed at the World Indigenous Peoples Conference.

She tells us that the land at North Entrance was claimed in a successful Native Title bid and that the great emotional and spiritual bond [to this land] seems to have vanished . This is wrong. The land was claimed under the NSW Aboriginal Land Rights Act (ALRA), not Native Title. Under the ALRA, land is given to Aboriginal people as compensation for land that was stolen, just as any other victim of crime would be compensated not because it is sacred . As this site was a former rubbish tip and sand mine, any significant sites have long since been destroyed. Under the Native Title legislation, however, land claimed must be of cultural significance. She goes on to say this land is environmentally sensitive. However, it was in a very degraded state when it was granted to the Land Council. Under the ALRA, the claimant becomes the owner of the land. They have the same rights and same restrictions as any other private landholder. We face daily calls to become self-sufficient. This is what we want. If the development at North Entrance goes ahead, not only will vital funds be raised to assist Aboriginal people in this endeavour, but the whole community will benefit through tourism. VERONICA GRAF, Secretary, NSW Aboriginal Land Council, Parramatta Daily Telegraph, page 33, 14 February 2002 (a) With reference to the Darkinjung Land Council s development proposal, explain the different ways in which land can be important to Aboriginal peoples. 10 (b) Analyse the impact of government legislation relating to land and water rights and native title. Use your Local Aboriginal Community Case Study in your answer. OR 20 7 Marks Question 9 Heritage and Identity (30 marks) Sinking feeling on Boobera Lagoon The Aboriginal people of Toomelah were ready to celebrate on 1 July, when a declaration was due to come into force banning water skiing and power boating from Boobera Lagoon. Their celebration became a protest, after the Federal Minister for Environment and Heritage, Senator Robert Hill, postponed the ban until 1 May 2002. Boobera Lagoon is one of the largest permanent bodies of water in the Goondiwindi-Boggabilla region on the Queensland New South Wales border. The lagoon [a cultural object] is sacred to Aboriginal people and also home to the Goondiwindi Water Skiing Club. The fight to protect the lagoon from desecration began with an application lodged in 1994 under the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act 1984. Senator Hill said his decision to allow a further delay would give more time for local water skiers to establish an alternative recreational facility . Senator Hill said the declaration confirmed Boobera Lagoon should be protected. Although the submissions demonstrate the deep disappointment of many local people in a decision to prohibit water skiing this decision has been made and is not being reconsidered. The only issue I reconsidered was the commencement date , Senator Hill said. Despite Senator Hill s assurances there would be no further extensions, Julie Whitton, local Aboriginal land councillor and traditional owner, expressed the whole community s frustration. We have waited for over two years only to have our hopes shattered at the last minute. If non-Aboriginal people respect our culture they should be fair dinkum and back off. They have had over 30 years to find another site, Ms Whitton said. Aboriginal people have used the proper processes to seek protection for our heritage. We have shown patience while waiting out the two years between the declaration and the implementation and watching a further two years of damage inflicted on our heritage site. ATSIC Commissioner Des Williams said the skiers and boat users, mostly Queenslanders, should be able to go without their recreation for a year or two. Adapted from ATSIC News, page 25, September 2000 (a) With reference to the Aboriginal community s protest at Toomelah, explain how the return of cultural objects affects the heritage and identity of Aboriginal peoples. 10 (b) Analyse the impact of government legislation on Aboriginal social and cultural lives and identity. Use your Local Aboriginal Community Case Study in your answer. 20 8 Board of Studies NSW 2002 2002 HIGHER SCHOOL CERTIFIC ATE EXAMINATION Aboriginal Studies Centre Number Section III Student Number 10 marks Attempt Question 10 Allow about 20 minutes for this section Answer the question in the spaces provided.
