Description
INTRODUCTION: 'PROBLEMS ABOUT WORK' A recent visit to the Western Arrernte outstation service centre (Tjuwanpa), found it a shadow of its former self. Both service and community projects were struggling and adminstrators conceded that unless an outstation was relatively close people resided most of the time in Ntaria/Hermannsburg. I yarned with the current manager whom I was meeting for the first time. He reiterated the rationale for outstations common in the period of land claims under the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976: Outstations built on traditional country should also be sites of local economy in which people would work on small-scale projects. In this way, outstation residents would sustain themselves both as remote indigenous Australians, and as members of the nation state. Maintaining work for the dole, community projects and some small business was seen as a reasonable compromise between traditional and modern ways. Western Arrernte would live remote and more traditionally, and at the same time retain just a modest engagement with a market economy, supplemented by federal government transfers (see Austin-Broos 2001; Sanders 1993).
