Cultural Protocol
Torres Strait Islanders are a separate people with their own distinct identity and cultural traditions.
There is no single Aboriginal culture, Aboriginal society is very diverse, and dynamic.

‘Talking up loud’ is a Murri colloquialism, ‘raising our voice, getting heard’, and broaching the issues in places where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ voices were deemed vox nullius in the past.

Eurocentric methods of research have been instrumental in shaping the history and service provision for Palm Island and other communities from early settlement years.
Palm Island challenges the orthodoxy of Australian and Queensland governments and sectors of society at large.
Research - vox nullius in the past

A man [sic] is always a teller of stories, he lives surrounded by his own stories and those of other people, he sees everything that happens to him in terms of those stories… (Sartre, quoted in Bruner 1987, p.21)
Riessman (1993) cautions us, as qualitative researchers, that we cannot give voice but we do hear voices that can be recorded and interpreted for a wider audience.
