ABSTRACT

From the labor processes that have historically rendered certain crops possible and at times served to race particular foods to the forms of enslavement and invasion circulated by global economies, studying the specificities of these biocultural entanglements is crucial. It is hardly comforting that the tactics of the Intervention are now being rolled out into areas deemed low SES zones themselves based on postcodes. From my very limited knowledge, there are important differences in how the Basics scheme targets whole geographical areas in relation to how income support can be spent, and it is not an extra' but is taken directly from income that the State has deemed to be required. The NTEI covers much more than food in fact its thrust is aimed at the so-called prevalence of pornography in communities. This program, like so many, replays and reproduces inequalities that in part stem from being divorced forcibly removed from land and its deep connections for many Indigenous people.
