Research type: Doctoral research

This doctoral research explores recent changes in public policy towards the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) lands and looks back to the original ideas informing the Pitjantjatjara Land Rights Act of 1981 passed by the South Australian parliament. Conceptually the research is driven by the idea that the framing of an issue is an important aspect of policy processes. So it asks how and why the framing of the APY lands in Australian public policy processes might have changed over the last 30 years.
