New possibilities for Indigenous representation: the opportunities and constraints of conflict among leaders

在国家政策辩论中发声对澳大利亚各地的土著社区很重要。了解为国家代表性提供机会和制约的紧张局势将有助于加强土著社区的社会和经济结构，为改善健康和福祉成果创造新的可能性。在提供关于当代土著激进主义动态的证据和说明土著领导人面临的复杂挑战方面，这项研究既将促进土著领导人和活动人士之间的进一步对话，也将使非土著澳大利亚人对这项工作有更深入的、注重经验的理解。

A voice in national policy debates is important for Indigenous communities around Australia. Understanding the tensions that provide opportunities and constraints for national representation will contribute to strengthening the social and economic fabric of Indigenous communities, creating new possibilities for improving health and well being outcomes. In providing evidence on dynamics of contemporary Indigenous activism and illustrating the complex challenges facing Indigenous leaders, this study will both facilitate further dialogue among Indigenous leaders and activists themselves and generate deeper, empirically-focused, understanding of this work among non-Indigenous Australians.
