1 Delivering on the Grand Bargain : It's Time for Unfinished Business Dawn Casey , 2016 single work autobiography
— Appears in: Griffith Review , no. 51 2016; (p. 189-203) ' I am proud to be an Aboriginal woman and a descendant of the Tagalaka clan from Croydon in North Queensland. My mother, Myrtle Rose Casey, once said to me, 'Never forget where you have come from but you don't have to go back there.' She was talking about a time when we lived in shacks on the outskirts of Cairns. As I began writing the Mabo Oration to honour Eddie Koiki Mabo last year, I realised that many young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people may be aware of the High Court Mabo judgment in 1992, but not of the negotiated settlement that followed the judgment - what is known as the 'grand bargain'. This lack of knowledge is of concern to me, especially since more than half of our population are children and young adults.' (Publication abstract)
