othello

Othello
By William Shakespeare

Othello is the greatest account of sexual jealousy in any language, one of Shakespeare's most poignant tragedies. At the heart of the play lies the simple love story of the heroic General, Othello and his beloved young bride, Desdemona, two people defying society in order to follow their own hearts. But their love is corrupted by Othello’s own destructive weakness.
In this inspirational production, Othello is Maori born, missionary-adopted, British educated and never returned to New Zealand until now. He is a General of the British Army and comes to New Zealand a stranger in his own land. The time is The New Zealand Wars.

Making the most of native title in Australia:
achieving outcomes and managing benefits

Dr Lisa Strelein
Director, Native Title Research Unit
Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies
Canberra, ACT, Australia


Abstract

This seminar will acquaint the audience with the current state of play in native title policy, practice and law in native title in Australia. The slow progress toward the resolution of outstanding claims is contrasted with the growth in agreement making, further fuelled by the mineral resources boom. The seminar will place specific focus on one of the critical issues in the management of agreements and settlements, that is, the planning for implementation and the structuring of benefit packages. The use and construction of trusts, taxation of native title payments and the distribution of benefits emerge as key themes.
