‘The imperative for dhalang-girr (a new way) Part 2: Self-determination or the highway?’ was the fourth seminar in the six-part Murru waaruu (On Track) Economic Development Series that the First Nations Portfolio presented in 2023.

The seminar series followed on from the success of the 2022 Marramarra murru (Creating Pathways) Economic Development Wealth Forum and Symposium and was  designed to bring together leading practitioners and scholars to ensure we remain on track to deliver a compelling, evidence-based case to transition the current First Nations economic development policy paradigm to one that enables economic self-determination.

The Murru waaruu Seminar Series seeks to develop the components of a policy framework that will facilitate the economic empowerment of First Nations Australians.

Seminar Four took place 16 August 2023 at the Australian National University in Canberra and examined economic self-determination as a human right, and contemplated how First Nations realise economic self-determination.

 

Keynote speakers included Jane Oscar AO (Australian Human Rights Commissioner), Joe Clarke, Bo Carne, Rebecca Girdwood, Oral McGuire, Moses Panashe, Rodney Carter and Lawford Benning.
