Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The concept of self-determination has, since 2003, become a topic of some debate in Australia in relation to Indigenous Australians. In the early 1970s, the Aboriginal community approached the Government of Australia and requested the right to administer their own communities. This encompassed basic local government functions, ranging from land dealings and management of community centres to road maintenance and garbage collection, as well as setting education programs and standards in their local schools.
