Patrick Lionel Djargun Dodson (born 29 January 1948) is a Senator for Western Australia. He is a Yawuru man from Broome, Western Australia. He has been chairman of the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation, Commissioner into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, and a Roman Catholic priest. He was the winner of the 2008 Sydney Peace Prize and the 2009 John Curtin Medallist.[1] His brother is Mick Dodson, also a national Indigenous Australian leader.

On 2 March 2016, Dodson was announced as the replacement for Joe Bullock as a Labor Senator for Western Australia, following Bullock's resignation.[2] The Parliament of Western Australia appointed Dodson to the Australian Senate on 2 May 2016.[3]

Early life and priesthood

Dodson was born on 29 January 1948 in Broome.[4] His father, John "Snowy" Dodson, was born in Launceston, Tasmania and his mother, Patricia, was indigenous Australian.[5] The family moved to Katherine in the Northern Territory when Pat was two, to escape Western Australian laws banning race-mix families.[6]

The Dodson children were orphaned at the deaths of both parents only three months apart in 1960.[6] He and his brother Mick were made wards of the state, but their aunt and uncle decided they should accept a scholarship to study at Monivae College in Hamilton, Victoria, where Dodson became head prefect and captain of football.[1] After completing his schooling, Patrick enrolled to study for the priesthood at Corpus Christi College, Melbourne, and was ordained in the order of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart in May 1975. He was the first Aboriginal person to become a Catholic priest in Australia.[7] He left the priesthood in the early 1980s[8] due to conflict over the balance and blend of Catholicism and Aboriginal spiritual belief.[4][9]

Public service

Dodson lives in Broome where he is also involved in matters relating to the preservation and development of Indigenous rights and culture. Some of the prominent roles and positions he has held include:[10]

  • Director of the Central Land Council and the Kimberley Land Council{{When|date=November 2017}}
  • Commissioner into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, 1989
  • Chairman of the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation (1991-1997) (This body was replaced by Reconciliation Australia). He retired stating "I fear for the spirit of this country".

  • Chairman of the Yawuru Native Title Holders Body Corporate (2010-2013)[12] and Nyamba Buru Yawuru Ltd (to 2015)[13]

Politics

The Parliament of Western Australia appointed Dodson to fill a casual vacancy in the Australian Senate on 2 May 2016, following the resignation of Labor senator Joe Bullock. He was sworn in as a senator on the same day, and sat as a Labor senator for Western Australia. He retained his seat at the 2016 federal election.[14]

Dodson has been a member of the shadow ministry since May 2016, as a shadow assistant minister. He was initially appointed shadow parliamentary secretary to the Leader of the Opposition, and since July 2016 has been shadow assistant minister for indigenous affairs and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. He has served on a number of Senate committees, notably as joint chair of the Joint Select Committee into Constitutional Recognition relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.[15]
