Frontier Extractivism: Climate Change and Indigenous Dispossession
This article adopts the concept of frontier encounters to explore the continuities between extractivism as a phenomenon characterising the immediate colonial phase in Australia following assertion of British sovereignty, and a contemporary energy resource extraction frontier in the Northern Territory. Drawing on the wider historical context whereby various capitalist forms of extraction have precipitated the imperial transposition of colonial gov…

Ontological Collisions in the Northern Territory's Aboriginal Water Rights Policy
Amid a renewed push to extract water for agriculture and mining, Indigenous advocacy in northern Australia has resulted in the introduction of a new water allocation mechanism: a reserve of water to be retained for the use and benefit of Indigenous communities. Our socio-legal analysis of the Oolloo Water Allocation Plan shows that the Strategic Aboriginal Water Reserves carry essential hallmarks of neoliberal property relations and are founded i…
Benefits and sharing: Realizing rights in Redd
The impending impact of climate change upon human communities has elicited a call for ‘climate justice’, particularly to achieve justice for those most vulnerable to climate change and its consequences. The negotiation of global climate change agreements, including the Paris Agreement and the recent Global Environmental Pact, is increasingly engaged with critical intersections between climate change and human rights. The broader concept of ‘benef…
From sovereignty to modernity: Revisiting the Colebrooke-Cameron Reforms - transforming the Buddhist and colonial imaginary in nineteenth-century Ceylon
The Colebrooke-Cameron Reforms (1831) have been characterised by David Scott (1995) as marking the transformation of colonial Sri Lanka from one kind of political rationality - that of mercantile sovereignty - to another - that of colonial governmentality. Whilst consonant with the view that the Commission marked a moment when the colonial administration moved away from a strategic reliance on Asokan or Buddhist forms of authority in the earliest…
Broadening law’s context: Materiality in socio-legal research
SYNOPSISSocio-legal studies is a ‘heterogeneous field’11 Faulkner et al. (2012), p 6. that encompasses a broad range of topics. Indeed, recently, legal scholars who regard their work as socio-legal have accepted the inclusion of less obvious and less conventional contexts and sites of socio-legal research including specifically science, technology and the environment on the basis that ‘materiality also matters in socio-legal studies’.22 Faulkner …
Law and the practices of ‘damming’: Tasmanian Dams Case as a turning point
Synopsis By contrast to many analyses of Commonwealth v Tasmania (Tasmanian Dam case), this article focuses on what the case reveals about the damming of rivers and the role of law in constituting institutions, technologies and practices for that purpose. Australia was colonised by a civilisation that had embedded a technical utilisation of rivers within its laws. Damming rivers, as a reified practice was fostered by modern, technical knowledge. …

Climate change and Redd: Property as a prism for conceiving Indigenous peoples’ engagement
The rapid emergence of carbon markets internationally, and rising concerns about the impact of such schemes on Indigenous and local community interests, rights and traditional knowledge, present a strong need to examine legal regulation, protection and promotion of equitable outcomes for the effective engagement of Indigenous peoples and local forest subsistence communities in climate change mitigation. This is particularly so in the context of R…
Climate Change Law in an Era of Multi-Level Governance
As international negotiations struggle to deliver timely, binding commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to safe levels, the environmental legal community has begun to contemplate the scope for climate governance 'beyond' the international climate change regime. Many see merit in a more decentralized, disaggregated approach, operating across multiple governance levels. This article examines the development of climate change law in an era …

This article demonstrates that narratives of discovery and exploration of the colonial and postcolonial South by imperial Northern nations to be partial and limited constructions of spatio-temporal patterns of legal relations governing living in the South. The central focus of this paper is the legal and social relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians, and the importance of situating these understandings alongside more comm…
