As Australia's population ages, and the prevalence of dementia increases, questions regarding the powers of those who take on legal responsibility for persons recognised as mentally incapacitated ...will likely become more common. One such question recently came before the Full Court of the Supreme Court of South Australia in 'Public Advocate v C, B'. This case concerned an appeal by the Public Advocate against a declaration made by Stanley J in the Supreme Court of South Australia that the respondent, a 95-year-old man named 'BC', was unlawfully detained at a residential aged care facility by reason of the Public Advocate's exercise of guardianship over him under s 29 of the 'Guardianship and Administration Act 1993 (SA) ('Guardianship Act')'.

This article summarises a recent South African case, Baleni v Minister of Mineral Resources. It also analyses the Court's reasoning to explore how a non-Australian common law state protects a ...traditional community's customary laws and practices through legislation, a Constitutional Bill of Rights, and international law. Although a South African case, Baleni demonstrates how similar common law countries have adopted distinct approaches to protecting and treating traditional communities, from which Australian lawmakers could learn.
This article observes interpretive issues that may arise when Aboriginal witnesses give evidence in western courtrooms. The author highlights this problem by observing native title claims in ...Australia. Two broad circumstances arise that present unique issues: first, when Aboriginal witnesses require interpreters for assistance in giving evidence, and second, when Aboriginal witnesses do not require such assistance. The clear difficulties that emerge for both Aboriginal witnesses and the judiciary are ultimately representative of a larger, fundamental disjunction between two legal systems.

This book examines the relationship between the White House, in the person of its press secretary, and the press corps through a linguistic analysis of the language used by both sides. A corpus was ...compiled of around fifty press briefings from the late Clinton years. A wide range of topics are discussed from the Kosovo crisis to the Clinton-Lewinsky affair. This work is highly original in demonstrating how concordance technology and the detailed linguistic evidence available in corpora can be used to study discourse features of text and the communicative strategies of speakers. It will be of vital interest to all linguists interested in corpus-based linguistics and pragmatics, as well as sociolinguists and students and scholars of communications, politics and the media.

The South West Native Title Settlement ('the Settlement') was a landmark native title settlement. It affects an estimated 30 000 Noongar People and encompasses approximately 200 000 square kilometres ...in the South West. The Settlement resolved the Noongar native title claim in exchange for a package of benefits, which included, for example, recognition through an act of Parliament, a perpetual trust receiving yearly instalments of $50 million for 12 years, numerous land arrangements, among other things. The Settlement is made up of six individual Indigenous Land Use Agreements ('ILUAs'). Four of these six ILUAS were successfully challenged in 'McGlade v Native Title Registrar' ('McGlade') earlier this year. As a Nyungar person who voted in the authorisation process for three of the ILUAs: the Wagyl Kaip and the Southern Noongar ILUA; the Ballardong People ILUA, and the Whadjuk People ILUA, I am a Claim Group member who supports the Settlement and supports the Registration of the ILUAs. As a Nyungar person who supports the Settlement, I was relieved to hear about the Commonwealth Parliament's proposed legislative amendments to the 'Native Title Act 1993' (Cth) ('NTA') so the ground-breaking settlement could move forward in the direction that my elders hoped for and worked so hard for many years to achieve. However, as a Law Graduate who works in the native title space, there are some key issues with the Native Title Amendment (Indigenous Land Use Agreements) Bill 2017 ('Amendment Bill') that I believe need to be considered thoroughly before proceeding with their enactment.
