<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px"><font face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size:16px">Given Australia's status as an (unfinished) colonial project of the British Empire, the basic institutions
that were installed in its so-called 'empty' landscape derive from a value-laden framework borne out of industrialisation, colonialism, the consolidation of the national statist system and democracy - all entities imbued with British Enlightenment principles
and thinking. Modernity in Australia has thus been constituted by the importation, assumption and triumph of the Western mind - materially, psychologically, culturally, socio-legally and cartographically. Tony Abbott's recent invocations of 'Team Australia'
and his view that the arrival of the First underscore the persistence of such specific values. This mini symposium will examine how race, values and culture are evident in contemporary Australia. What are the continuing effects of colonization in Australia
and the structures it brought, which still inform and dominate its public culture?What assumptions continue to dominate contemporary Australian thinking and values? Where did 'Team Australia' come from?</span></font></div>
