Abstract
This address twists an old concern with the origins of dysfunctional social policy in Indigenous affairs to a belated recognition of the co-dependencies these speak to, tracing the laminations of policies past and present to the endurance of extractive colonialism within our collective bodies. For a very long time, my research sought to make sense of the insensibilities of Indigenous social policy in Australia, while remaining curiously blind to how the byzantine social policy fields encountered by Indigenous people enables the settler colonial good life (beyond recognition of the primary act of land theft). Colonial regimes enable forms of extractivism which feeds and shelters many. A question remains, can we give colonisation up?
