Good governance and indigenous peoples: What's western law got to say about it?

Laura Beacroft held an independent statutory position with the Australian government for the last 5 years, regulating many key Indigenous corporations, including those connected to native title and also most of those in remote Australia. She shepherded in comprehensive and modern legislation for this sector (Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006, which received tripartite support from Parliament and is being progressively implemented around Australia. She is a lawyer, and has spent many years working in the courts, and on 'big picture' solutions to key systemic issues in the justice system. She is a co-author of Indigenous Legal Issues, a widely used textbook, and is currently at the Law College ANU writing her contribution to the next edition of this book.
