Abstract:

The ATC sought to engage non-Aboriginal support for a treaty that emphasised security of tenure and belonging in an ancient land, supported through a discourse of new, united nationalism. ATC members were well-connected and presented their case for a treaty to the public as one of advancing this new nationalism. In contrast, the parallel Aboriginal push for treaty (see Allam, this volume) attracted very different media discourses of the debate among Aboriginal intellectuals about the best ideas, strategies and tactics to advance Aboriginal interests. I argue that media reportage carefully follows the logics of the ATC’s discourses and thereby counters established narratives by contesting subordination of Aboriginal sovereignty and White mastery.
