Who Owns the Past? Cultural Heritage and the Law in Western Australia

Activity: Service and engagement › Public lecture, debate or seminar

Description

WA has some of Australia’s best heritage – and worst legal protections, especially for Aboriginal heritage. This talk covers the destruction of Juukan Gorge; the confusion of juggling three State heritage laws, and acknowledges Aboriginal ‘First Law’, in order to map a pathway to prosperity, truth-telling, and a more inclusive national identity.
