Introduction

Scope and Contents

The collection consists of three main parts, reflecting three phases of Toyne's work between 1979 and 1994. The first part contains diaries, notebooks and working files from Toyne's years in Central Australia, principally 1979-1986. There is strong emphasis on land rights issues, beginning with the 'Pitjantjatjara Land Rights Act' 1981, concerning which Toyne co-authored the book, 'Growing up the country' (1984). There is also a substantial amount of material on the Ayers Rock/Uluru title transfer in 1985, and the management of Uluru National Park. The second part of this collection consists primarily of research files and a small number of working files from Toyne's years as Director of the Australian Conservation Foundation (1986-1992). These formed the basis of his postgraduate environmental law course (1993-1994) which was published as 'The reluctant nation - environment, law and politics in Australia' (1994). The third part contains research files and working files from Toyne's involvement (1993) as a consultant to the Federal Government on developing a response to the Mabo judgement and drafting the Native Title Bill.

Conditions Governing Access

Part available for research; part requires permission for research (Series 11, Files 72, 78, 80, 81; Series 13, Files 2, 9); part not available for research until 2023 (Series 12, Files 4-10).

Conditions Governing Use

Copying and publishing of unpublished manuscript material is subject to copyright restrictions. For such material, written permission to publish must be obtained from the copyright holder(s). Copying of unpublished material for research purposes is permissible 50 years after the death of the creator of the material.

Preferred Citation

Items from this collection should be cited as '[Title or description of manuscript item], Papers of Sir James Plimsoll, National Library of Australia, MS 9024, [series and/or file number]'.

Provenance

This collection was donated by Toyne in four instalments, on 20-21 October 1994, 3 November 1994 and 29 January 1997. It contains a wide variety of materials, including diaries and notebooks, working and reference files, photographs, slides, tape and video recordings.

Arrangement

Series 11 and 12 have been kept in their original order. Series 6 was originally in alphabetical order for approximately half of the files, and this order was adopted for arranging the second half of the series. In the smaller series the original order has often been kept in part, with the addition of closely related material which was dispersed throughout the collection. Series 14 (photographic materials) was completely reorganised.

Biographical Note

Phillip Toyne was born in Melbourne in 1947 and educated at the University High School, matriculating in 1964. He completed a Bachelor of Law at the University of Melbourne in 1970 and a Diploma of Education at La Trobe University in 1972. As detailed below, in 1973-1986 he worked in Central Australia, mainly representing Aboriginal people on a wide range of legal matters, particularly in the area of land rights. In October 1986 he was appointed Director of the Australian Conservation Foundation and continued in that position till 1992. In 1993-94 he took up a position as Visiting Fellow at the Centre for Environmental Law and Policy, ANU. In late 1994 he was appointed Executive Director of the Environmental Strategies Directorate in the Department of the Environment.

Item Descriptions

Series 1. Central Australia: Diaries and Notebooks (1979-1985)

This series contains diaries and notebooks kept by Toyne while he was working in a series of different positions in Central Australia from 1979 to 1986. Toyne first went to Central Australia in 1973 as a teacher at Haasts Bluff. From 1979-82 he worked as a lawyer for the Pitjantjatjara Council, completing the negotiations leading to the passing in South Australia of the Pitjantjatjara Land Rights Act 1981, and began negotiations for the Ayers Rock title transfer. From 1982-86 he established a private practice as a solicitor and barrister in Alice Springs. During this period he was involved in such matters as the Royal Commission into British atomic weapons tests on Pitjantjatjara lands at Maralinga, the completion of the negotiations for the Ayers Rock title transfer and the negotiation of a Pitjantjatjara /Amoco joint venture agreement on oil exploration.

This series contains a sequence of drafts for the book, Growing up the country - the Pitjantjatjara struggle for their land (McPhee Gribble /Penguin 1984) which Toyne co-authored with Daniel Vachon. The book recounts the formation of the Pitjantjatjara Council in 1976 and their subsequent struggle for land rights, leading to the passing of the Pitjantjatjara Land Rights Act 1981 in South Australia.

Series 3. Central Australia: Working Files (1979-86)

This series consists of most of Toyne's working files during his years in Central Australia, in particular from the period 1979-1986. The files contain correspondence, reports, articles, pamphlets, newspaper clippings, resource development agreements and acts of parliament.

The files in this sequence were not added to after Toyne left Alice Springs in 1986. Those Central Australian files that continued to be added to and used till 1993-94 are located in Series 6. So, for example, the majority of the Uluru files are in this series but those that continued to be added to and used up to the writing of The reluctant nation (1994) are located in Series 6.

Series 6. Conservation and Aboriginal Issues - Background Research Files (1978-94)

This series is an amalgamation of background research files received in the original donation of 20 October 1994 and similarly arranged files received in the second addition of 3 November 1994. The first half of the files in this series were originally arranged in alphabetical order and this order was adopted for arranging the second half of the series. These research files formed the basis of the postgraduate environmental law course which Toyne taught in 1993 at the Australian Centre for Environmental Law, Australian National University, and which in turn were used for an eight-part radio program produced for ABC's Radio National and published in the book, The reluctant nation (1994).

The series includes correspondence, minutes, articles, reports, newspaper clippings, notes, speeches, legal papers and tape recordings.
