FORGING A NEW RELATIONSHIP
Produced by Jim Mellor
---------------------------------------------------------
ON-AIR PROMO:
Wearing his big black hat and his long grey beard, Pat Dodson talks
Reconciliation:
"The indigenous people that saw the Tall Ships come in, that were happy
fishing, are now in the lockups, the detention centres, are now in the
prisons."
Why, he asks, are parliamentarians so timid?
"They're elected by people like yourselves, on all sides of politics, why
are they frightened?"
Pat Dodson,
on Background Briefing, this Sunday morning after the news at 9.
---------------------------
PRODUCER's SUPPLEMENT:
Pat Dodson, the former chair of the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation,
reflects on the past and looks ahead to the Centenary of Federation in 2001.
He sees the intervening time as a period of opportunity. The
Constitutional referendum, the draft document of reconciliation, the
testing by the states of the Wik legislation and compensation for the
stolen generation will draw national attention to the relationship between
indigenous and non-indigenous Australians.
And, before international eyes, Sydney 2000 will test the treatment of
indigenous Australians against Olympics values.
