General Certificate of Exemption
Who is represented by the commonwealth of Australia?
Australia is represented by the commonwealth of Australia. Benefits On top of being able to walk around freely outside of the reservation in order to work, he was allowed to enter shops and hotels but he could only be served if the owner permitted it. I don’t believe these are benefits, they sound like basic rights, and even the “benefit” to go into shops and hotels has its restrictions as the proprietor could choose not to serve him which would render that benefit completely useless. Were these conditions fair from a justice perspective? None of the special conditions are fair from a justice perspective as the same rules were never thought to be applied to the Caucasian population, only the aboriginals. Caucasian’s were allowed to speak in their native language, as well as engage in their rituals, native customs and associate I with the fellow people that lived in their community. What does assimilate mean? To assimilate is to enter into a community other than your own, in this instance they wanted Joseph to abide by the rules they gave him so he could assimilate. What is Segregated housing? Segregated housing is when there are housing areas for different races in the population, there used to be housing specifically for aboriginals to live in and a separate area for the other population. Do I think Joseph appreciates this? I don’t believe he would appreciate the fact that they think he is a lesser man because he doesn’t live like a white man. Why do I think SBS is releasing these old documents? I believe that SBS is releasing these documents to show and bring awareness to how the aboriginal community was previously treated. |
