Abstract
This thesis examines why the private sector, big business and big philanthropy, has emerged as a key player in the Aboriginal affairs space. Most studies on Aboriginal and private sector relations have focused on the processes and impacts of agreement making between mining companies and Aboriginal organisations as precipitated by Land Rights and Native Title legislation. This thesis has focused on Aboriginal and private sector relations beyond the mining sector, with a specific focus on remote and Aboriginal Australia. It interrogates the constructions of these relations over time and as integral to the private sector development of Australia from colonial times to the present. It deploys constructivist grounded theory methods to analyse interviews with 27 individuals from both Aboriginal and private sector agencies working at the interface of these relationships, distilling themes to narrate the contours of relations. It uses the tools of critical discourse analysis to interrogate reports, research and opinion pieces articulating the forms of corporate sector responsibility and expertise on Aboriginal issues to identify the more contemporary movements of relationships.
