Building ‘moral muscle’

• The colonisers’ common law, while containing provisions respecting individual rights, was largely intended to protect property and good order.
• The constitution they constructed for Federation, explicitly excluded First Peoples, along with Chinese and other non-Europeans, from citizenship.
• Indigenous law’s purpose is not to protect the wealth, power, and property of the leadership class.
• The capital of Indigenous society is intellectual and moral, not material, and the law is about proper behaviour towards other people and the natural world.
• Indigenous Law has evolved to ensure the wellbeing of the society by building the inner wellbeing of individuals and collective wellbeing.
• The Yolungu see this as the building of “moral muscle”.
