Faith Bandler Analysis Francis Pham
In an analysis of no more than 400 words, explain why you think this speech is important. Support your response with a close focus on purpose, ideas and rhetorical techniques.
This speech is important and crucial to highlight the persisting flaw that still prevents the Aboriginal people and white Australian nation from reconciling and ultimately focuses on advancing towards this reconciliation. Bandler’s speech is important to society because the Aboriginal people were the original founding fathers of this nation, who had their society torn up by the “terra nullius” theory and white man dominance. So it is only fair that the Aboriginal society be offered a voice and support throughout their hardship,

    This essay focuses on how Aboriginal lives varied after the 1970s by arguing that the government played a significant role when achieving better qualities of Aboriginal lives nowadays. The government considers indigenous affairs as national priority and implements Indigenous Advancement Strategy which consolidates beneficial programmes targeting Aboriginals. I argue they do this to promote cultural diversity in Australia.…

    Australia’s attitude towards the rights and freedoms of Aboriginals has changed drastically from 1920 to the present. It is evident that Australia has made a greater effort throughout the years, to bridge the gap between the rights and of Aboriginals and the rest of Australia. This has been improved by the implementation of different policies such as the Protection policy, Assimilation, Integration, Self Determination and Reconciliation.…

    The Mabo Decision

    Since 1918, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders (ATSI) have achieved a great deal of change in both political and social ways, though it was not without struggle. Many of these achievements are derived from several events, such as the Mabo Decision which was the long battle that lead to the recognition of Aboriginal land rights. Other events also contributed, such as the long process of reconciling the relationships between ATSI peoples and Australians, the Bringing Them Home Report which helped lead to the Apology. All of these events are important in Aboriginal culture as they all inspired change in the Australian community.…

    Paul Keating

    A key achievement in Paul Keating’s leadership was the recognition of Indigenous Australian’s rights and acknowledging their position in society. Keating established a Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation, working alongside Aboriginal Australians, which sought to implement different strategies to ameliorate the injustices. In June 1992 the High Court recognised Aboriginal land rights by making a decision that native title existed in the Mabo case. Keating supported this notion and delivered the Redfern Speech in December 1992, apologising for the wrongdoings of white society and recognising Aboriginal rights. This was a significant moment and is still recognised today because it was the first time in Australian history that the government attempted to reconcile the relationship with Indigenous Australians. Today, people reflect on this speech and can still find areas that need to be improved upon to ensure an equal society.…

    In his speech, Noel Pearson addresses the need to acknowledge the past mistreatment of Australian Aboriginals. As an Indigenous Australian politician, Pearson gave his speech at the Chancellor’s Club Dinner in the University of Western Sydney to advance equality of Aborigines. Pearson quickly introduces his purpose, “our popular understanding of the colonial past is central to the moral and political turbulence we are still grappling with as Australians”. The illustrative use of turbulence is used to highlight the prevalence of past disharmonies and he uses the inclusive pronoun “we” as a synecdoche for all Australians to unify the audience. By directly quoting authorities such as John Howard and Bill Stanner, Pearson supplements his ethos and strengthens his case by evaluating both sides of the situation. The metaphor, “cult of forgetfulness” has negative connotations in order to challenge the common social mindset regarding the recognition of the past and induce a desire for change. Pearson effectively uses a cumulative list, “You have taken from us not just our land and not just all of the icons of Indigenous Australia…” to illustrate past injustices. The diction is divisive between Indigenous and European Australians, but deliberate emphasis is placed on the past tense to suggest hope for the future. Thus Pearson…

    Speakers who encourage us to consider significant Australian issues deliver key themes and ever-lasting notions through rhetoric techniques which persuade their audience. Noel Pearson’s 1996 speech, ‘An Australian History for us All,’ challenges the treatment of Indigenous Australians in the past, present and future with the proposal for an intellectual approach to acknowledge previous injustices. He argues that the principles of racial equality, justice and morality should matter to Australians, and therefore the lack of recognition for Indigenous mistreatment hinders our ability to ‘move on.’ Although for alternate reasons, Paul Keating’s, ‘A Funeral Service of the Unknown Australian Soldier’(1993) also encourages us to consider what should matter as he honours the Australian war-dead by reaffirming the Australian ideals of mateship, courage and resilience in the simultaneous bid to unite a population who were at the ‘crossroads’ and in search for our national identity. Both these speakers encourage us to consider major Australian issues and reveal their importance in the past, present and future.…

    The referendum was a massive achievement for Indigenous Australians with 90% of the Australian population voting Yes for these two parts of the Australian Constitution to be over ruled and changed. Although this was a major event in the reconciliation process to bringing non indigenous and indigeonous people together it would be naive to think that this eradicated the racism and discrimination all together. These significant and monumental events in the history of reconciliation in Australia were significant cornerstones in the development of justice, rights and equality however the transition period was often challenging for the indigenous Australians as they had to adjust to a culturally different way of life. This was often not recognised within the Australian community causing confusion and further divide in the way in which the Australian public view and thought reconciliation consisted of. The referendum however provided a platform of hope for the future of reconciliation in Australia as it symbolised a political step towards rights and justice for the indigenous…

    Nelson Mandela’s inaugural address was delivered outdoors in an amphitheatre on 10th May 1994 at the Union Buildings, South Africa. The Union Buildings housed the first democratically elected, first black and first equal president of South Africa. This historic event was attended by politicians and dignitaries from over 140 countries all over the world, such as Bill Clinton, the President of the United States at the time, and John Mayor, British PM at the time. This address was to show that after years of oppression, blacks and coloureds were no longer separated from whites and the country was starting to become united as one. Fourteen years after this celebrated address, new Labor Prime Minister of Australia after ten years of Liberal Party rule, Kevin Rudd’s speech was read at specifically 9am on 13th February 2008 in Canberra, Australia, and also it was televised and set up in big screens around the country.

    Stolen Generation Speech

    Our generation, The Stolen generation, 60 years ago was corrupted by our so called ‘Country leaders’. It has been impacted greatly from the means of the federal parliament snatching our kids right from underneath our noses with force. These kids could have had a future of becoming what they wanted with the support of their beloved aboriginal families. I know you cannot change what parliament has done back then, but the only thing you can do is apologise to the aboriginals out there who have suffered. Apologise to the parents who have spent so many years raising their kids to lose them from under their noses. Apologise to the kids for forcing them to be deported at will. On behalf of all the aboriginals who have been mentally and physically scarred, we ask for an apology for what this torment has done to us. For what this permanent imprint in our lives has done to us.…
