Listen "103 - A history of Indigenous elections in Australia"
Episode Synopsis
Ben is joined by historian Alison Holland, who is researching the history of ATSIC, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission. We discuss the history and current existence of Indigenous elected institutions around Australia, including ATSIC and its predecessors at a federal level, regional land councils and state Voices that have started to pop up.
Alison's article in The Conversation about why those who claim that ATSIC failed have put the blame in the wrong place.
