Abstract:

The first section of this article explores some of the reasons why Australia might need to address a specific body of international law.

Ultimately, an Australian historiography of race relations necessitates the delineation of an unambiguously post-settler approach, which in turn requires a renewed postcolonial compact for the Australian polity.
