Recognition after Uluru: what next for First Nations?

该项目旨在审查澳大利亚政府制度在多大程度上适当地服务和代表土著和托雷斯海峡岛民的利益。这些改进为加强卫生和教育等领域的方案提供了潜力，包括“缩小差距倡议”。根据公法原则以及比较和国际法律材料，该项目将开发一种治理模式，用以评估澳大利亚的制度。然后，在得出结论和确定可能的改革之前，将对该系统与这一模式的运作情况进行审计。该项目的成果将是具有国内和国际意义的原创学术成果，将为在宪法中承认土著人民的拟议公民投票期间和之后的学术和政策辩论提供信息。

This project aims to examine the extent to which Australia’s system of government appropriately serves and represents the interests of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Such improvements offer the potential to enhance programs in areas such as health and education, including the Closing the Gap initiative. Drawing on public law principles as well as comparative and international legal material, the project will develop a model of governance against which the Australian system can be assessed. An audit will then be conducted of how that system operates in comparison to this model, before drawing conclusions and identifying potential reforms. The outcome of this project will be original scholarship of domestic and international significance that will inform academic and policy debate during and beyond the proposed referendum to recognise Indigenous peoples in the Constitution.
