Eden Fiske walker_g https://padlet.com/walker_g/ACUR90002_wk2_thurs215pm/wish/458859514 Analysis of the role of the Koorie Heritage Trust‘ Gnokan Danna Murra Kori-ki’ (Give me your hand my friend) in Gunditjmara and Yorta Yorta- Key roles: To promote, support and celebrate the continuing journey of the Aboriginal people of South Eastern Australia. With the vision of making Aboriginal culture and history, a fundamental part of Victorian life.The Koorie Heritage Trust supports the perpetuation of the culture of South Eastern Aboriginal people, with a focus on the consolidation and reclamation of culture. So as to strengthen culture for the next generation of Aboriginal people, but also for Australians more broadly, so that they are able to access the knowledge of this land, despite ongoing colonisation and erasure of Indigenous footprints.There are obviously limits about the kinds of work that can be shown in the exhibitions at the Koorie Heritage trust, and about how the trust remains an Aboriginal first space. However these limits do not seek to exclude non-Indigenous people, but only to create clear boundaries and protect sacred cultural/historical and artistic integrity of Koorie people.It is important for the Koorie heritage trust to be specific about who it represents, as cultural LORE/practice varies greatly across Aboriginal societies. It is also crucial to express the cultural practice of Koorie people, as they have been pushed out of the narrative of Australian history, often diminished, misunderstood and silenced. Koorie people, whilst having initially suffered greater contact with colonisers, have still kept many artistic and cultural practices in-tact. The trust consolidates all of these histories rather than a broader narrative about Australian Aboriginal people.]]> 2020-03-12 02:47:13 UTC https://padlet.com/walker_g/ACUR90002_wk2_thurs215pm/wish/458859514 https://padlet.com/walker_g/ACUR90002_wk2_thurs215pm/wish/458868020 2020-03-12 03:16:59 UTC https://padlet.com/walker_g/ACUR90002_wk2_thurs215pm/wish/458868020 Infr. https://padlet.com/walker_g/ACUR90002_wk2_thurs215pm/wish/458868525 Summarise:
  • Key roles 
    • The arts and culture sector has been rolled into one department that slo deals with transport and infrastructure. This happened at the end of 2019 on the 5th of Dec. 
  • Be specific as to what they do
We are the Australian Government’s key advisor on communications—that’s television, radio, Internet, phone and post. We push for an innovative and competitive communications sector so Australians can access all these services have to offer.
 
We work to make the social and economic benefits of digital technology available to all Australians– now and into the future.
 
To deliver our policies and programmes we work closely with our portfolio agencies which include: government business enterprises Australia Post and NBN Co; national broadcasters ABC and SBS; and the regulator the Australian Communications and Media Authority.
 
  • What service do they provide (funding, support etc.)?
  • Who do they support, and why? 
    • This dept. claims to support the following: 
    •  
    • For example, let's look at Museums, Libraries and Galleries. They say: 
      • Australia's collecting institutions protect and celebrate Australia's rich cultural heritage, share resources and mentor regional partners. We provide advice to government and the sector on best practice for collecting cultural material, developing quality collections and ensuring ethical collecting in Australia.
    • Then there are headings - 'statistics', 'significance 2.0', 'impact', 'national collecting institutions touring and outreach program', 'aus govt int. exhibitions insurance program'
    • Why they support it? They have to - this whole conglomeration of a department is a result of the independent arts department being wiped and merging with infrastructure and transport. They 'support' it insofar as it's just a subheading to the overarching strategies. "Arts" isn't even in the title anymore!
  • Key initiatives 
    • There seeem to be no key initiatives. There are opportunities, yes, but initiatives… seem to be lacking? 
  • Make note of any interesting limits to what they do, if there are any 
    • Limits are unspoken here but massively apparent. 
As a result of the Administrative Arrangement Order introduced on 5 December 2019, the functions that were previously the responsibility of the Department of Communications and the Arts have been transferred to the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications as of 1 February 2020. 
  • Consider why they limit what they do 
    • They are limited due to influence by the Morrison government. There will be zero progression under a government that cannot see and refuses to see the benefits of an 111.7B dollar industry and would prefer it go to the dogs than flourish further. 
 
Government Departments
  • Do they operate at ‘arms length’? Discuss. 
    • Hell no
