The Commonwealth's Role in Australian Cultural Development Few would maintain that governments can or should create cultures or national identities. The creation of Australian culture and an Australian identity has been, and will be, the work of Australians themselves through what they do in their everyday lives, as communities and as individuals (whether it be as writers, workers in industry, farmers, parents or citizens). What is `distinctly Australian' is what we create out of that unique combination of factors that derives from our inheritance, our environment and our position in the world. This includes an indigenous culture, both ancient and continuing; a British cultural legacy (imprinted through language, the law and our institutions); the diverse inheritances of immigrant groups; the distinct experiences of class and region and the impact of place. We are genuinely and distinctly `multi-cultural' with meanings that extend beyond ethnic diversity. The Prime Minister said on 10 July 1992: The Commonwealth's responsibility to maintain and develop Australian culture means, among many other things, that on a national level;

Conferences Conference papers Indigenous programming in correctional settings: a national and international literature review Robin Jones Department of Criminology, University of Melbourne, Victoria; and CORE - the Public Correctional Enterprise, Victoria Presented at: Best practice interventions in corrections for Indigenous people Hilton Hotel, Sydney 8-9 October 2001 Download paper (PDF 52kB) Abstract This literature review examines the current state of culturally-relevant programming for Indigenous offenders in correctional settings. First, background data pertaining to Australian Aboriginal offenders and the criminal justice system are reviewed. Then the risks and needs of Indigenous offenders are discussed, with particular emphasis on culture-specific issues such as acculturation and ethnic identity. Culturally relevant assessment strategies are then examined, followed by an exploration of issues involved in providing correctional programs for Indigenous offenders. The question of adapting existing programs versus developing new, culture-specific programs is addressed, along with guidelines for selecting appropriate participants and treatment targets. Cross-cultural consultation, Indigenous staffing and cross-cultural awareness training are also explored. Literature included in this review comes from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous sources. Non-Indigenous material includes frameworks such as those of Andrews and Bonta (1998), which recommend basing offender programs upon a detailed understanding of offender risks and needs. It is recognised that the cross-cultural validity of these frameworks should be investigated rather than assumed. Indigenous literature sourced for this review is Australia-specific where possible. A range of Canadian Native American and New Zealand Maori programs are also reviewed, so that Australian programs can adapt and build upon approaches that have already shown promise in other parts of the world.

Communicating with customers and clients from other cultures By Sue Patterson With the Olympics bringing vast numbers of overseas visitors to Australia this year, you may have the opportunity to sell your products or services to a wider range of people from different cultures than ever before. What an opportunity! But what can you do to communicate most successfully? This month's expert Sue Patterson explains. Communication with people from other cultures covers three main areas: 1. Understanding/ non-understanding This happens when one person uses language which is not known or fully understood by the other. 2. Understanding/ misunderstanding This happens when there's a mismatch between what the speaker intends and what the listener understands. They understand each other's words but misread each other's intentions. 3. Alignment/clashes in outlook and values This occurs when the listener's cultural attitudes and values clash with the attitudes and values expressed by the speaker's words and behaviour. So what can you do to avoid miscommunication?

Chinese films have a variety of subject themes, stories from history, from myths, folklore, legend and so on. Australian films tend to be close to 'everyday life' ( shenghuo hua ). They have no history, perhaps that is the reason. Not like China, it has thousands of years of history. (male respondent, aged 40) This comment was made by a Mainland Chinese Australian man, who arrived in Australia from the People's Republic of China sometime between 1985 and 1999. His description of the differences between Australian and Chinese children's film and television programming indicates one of the core perceptions of the respondents to a recent questionnaire and focus group program conducted in Western Australia (hereafter WA). Whilst recognising the educational drive of domestic programming in Australia, mainland Chinese parents questioned the concept of education at work in these productions. Did they have an underlying morality? Were they suitable for their children's development? How could they, as parents, share in them, and so help their children unpick what values were at their heart? Were they perhaps, ultimately, without meaning? To quote the parents: 'Australian cartoons are direct and entertaining but have no real educational value (

Newcastle Community Consultation Report Racism and civil society: A community consultation held at the Newcastle City Hall, Newcastle NSW, on 27 July 2001 Speaker: Dr William Jonas, Race Discrimination Commissioner and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner, HREOC Theme 1: Sources, causes, forms and contemporary manifestations of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. Experiences of racism Sources and causes of racism Past experiences of racism ... Recommendations Theme 1: Sources, causes, forms and contemporary manifestations of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. Participants agreed that racism in Australia is endemic, particularly racism against Aboriginal people. The victims of racism experience it every day, ranging from vilification and discrimination in services to the more subtle forms of institutional racism. Some participants believed that racist violence is in fact worsening in Australia. The nature of racism is seen to be changing and becoming increasingly institutionalised. Participants gave examples including the invisibility of migrants in government policies and programs, "mainstreaming" of specialised services which does not provide services in culturally appropriate ways, and the equating of equal treatment with equity in the delivery of services.

Backgrounders Speeches Helping arts and cultural organisations go international You have heard how the Australia Council is assisting Arts and Cultural organisations export. Now I would like to explain something about another organisation, Austrade. Austrade is the arm of the Government which helps Australians do business overseas, including focussing on the commercial possibilities of arts and cultural exports. There is always a question mark over where you draw the line when you are talking about statistics but for the sector represented here this evening, exports were valued at $659 million in 1998/99. So you are part of an important and growing export sector. Austrade attends board meetings of AusFilm and we have worked closely with them to develop and implement a marketing program in co-operation with state government agencies and film companies who provide facilities and production services. In particular, Austrade Los Angeles has worked successfully with AusFilm, state film commissions and a number of pre-production and post-production companies to attract US film producers to Australia. We do this through the ongoing promotion of the benefits Australia has to offer, such as the skills of our production crews, our varied location sites and the post production facilities.
