We will look at what might be the way forward for us using the resources we have access to, and using some ideas from overseas.

Research has disclosed both the negligent administration of stations by State Governments and the fraudulent expropriation of moneys held on trust for workers. Substantial evidence of fiduciary breaches of trust on the part of both the New South Wales and Queensland Governments has been uncovered. Both of these States have established compensation schemes for victims of stolen wages. By contrast the Northern Territory (which was the largest employer of Indigenous workers nationally) and the Commonwealth have failed to address the fact that, with few exceptions, Indigenous workers went unpaid for nearly half a century. This lecture will provide a moral and legal argument for Commonwealth government compensation. It is a timely call for action in the aftermath of the 2006 Commonwealth Senate Inquiry into Stolen Wages.

Researching, teaching or learning about entrepreneurship is very different to researching teaching or learning about functional disciplines such as accounting and finance. In functional disciplines there is generally a well defined skill set, this is not the case with entrepreneurship as it is as much a mind set as it is a set of activities. Identification of opportunities, learning about them and taking actions all take place within a context.

In recent years, the return of digital materials from collections worldwide has become a significant and efficacious strategy for supporting cultural survival there. The sense of history that these materials bring is proving invaluable in maintaining well-being and community in Arnhem Land amid the hardships of local life. This lecture presents early research on the ARC project currently being led by Neparrŋa Gumbula to explore rare Yolŋu materials from Arnhem Land dating from the 1920s that are held in the University of Sydney Archives, and to assess their significance to contemporary Yolŋu communities and the broader public.
