Between a rock and a hard place: self-determination, mainstreaming and Indigenous community governance
Open accessAbstract
Between a rock and a hard place: self-determination, mainstreaming and Indigenous community governance Janet HuntThe first few years of the new century saw major change in the Australian Government's approach to Indigenous affairs.These developments combined with simultaneous policy shifts in State and Territory jurisdictions to create a period of enormous flux and uncertainty in Indigenous communities and organisations.This chapter aims to help readers understand these changes and the resulting challenges facing the Indigenous community governance bodies involved in our research.Subsequent chapters will indicate that Indigenous people and their organisations actively engaged through this period, trying to manoeuvre their way through these new arrangements towards their own goals.The changes presented opportunities as well as constraints, but this chapter will argue that there is an underlying contradiction that the organisations confront.They are, in a sense, between a rock and a hard place: the assumptions and principles of self-determination underlying the policy environment in which many of them were created have changed.Some new ideas like 'mainstreaming' have been introduced and organisations are finding themselves caught at an uncomfortable intersection between communities operating with one set of assumptions, and governments another.They are also squeezed in the shifting policy space between jurisdictions as different interests exert their influence around them.These organisations are the intercultural space where different 'framings' of the governance challenge (cf.Leach et al. 2007) meet or, at times, collide.At the end of 2007, as this research concluded, a change of government at the national level signalled the potential for a more productive engagement with Indigenous people to address the challenges this paper outlines.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
