Regulating Racism: Racial Vilification Laws In Australia, Luke Mcnamara
Regulating Racism: Racial Vilification Laws In Australia, Luke Mcnamara
Luke McNamara
This book examines the range of models of legal regulation which have been adopted in Australia to deal with various forms of racial vilification-including criminalisation, civil liability via the creation of statutory torts, and civil liability via the human rights dispute resolution system. It reviews the history and current operation of all relevant federal, state and territorial laws, via an examination of relevant reports, legislation, parliamentary debates, statistical data, and judicial and quasi-judicial decisions. The factors which have influenced the choice of different legislative models for the regulation of racial vilification are identified, and the implications of the choices that …
Indigenous Community Participation In The Sentencing Of Criminal Offenders: Circle Sentencing, Luke Mcnamara
Indigenous Community Participation In The Sentencing Of Criminal Offenders: Circle Sentencing, Luke Mcnamara
Luke McNamara
Recently the New South Wales Aboriginal Justice Advisory Committee (‘AJAC’) released a discussion paper titled Circle Sentencing: Involving Aboriginal Communities in the Sentencing Process. The paper proposed that ‘circle sentencing’—a community-based sentence determination procedure which originated in Canadian Indigenous communities—be trialled in selected Aboriginal communities in New South Wales. Almost 10 years after the release of the final report of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody the need for alternatives to the conventional processes of criminal justice administration in Indigenous communities is as great as ever. Therefore, practical initiatives such as the AJAC proposal for a circle sentencing …

Research Report: A Profile Of Racial Vilification Complaints Lodged With The New South Wales Anti-Discrimination Board, Luke Mcnamara
Research Report: A Profile Of Racial Vilification Complaints Lodged With The New South Wales Anti-Discrimination Board, Luke Mcnamara
Luke McNamara
In 1989 New South Wales became the first State in Australia to legislate against racial vilification. The introduction of this legislation, and discussion of similar provisions in other jurisdictions, rekindled debates about the legitimacy of legal limits on hate speech. However, little is known about the practical operation of antivilification laws. This report presents the results of a survey of more than 160 racial vilification complaints handled by the New South Wales Anti-Discrimination Board from 1993 to 1995. The profile of the legislation in practice presented here provides a valuable empirical foundation for critical assessment of anti-vilification provisions and of …

Appellate Court Scrutiny Of Circle Sentencing, Luke Mcnamara
Appellate Court Scrutiny Of Circle Sentencing, Luke Mcnamara
Luke McNamara
One of the most significant features of circle sentencing as developed in Canada in recent years is the central role of the judiciary. That is, in cooperation with First Nations communities, judges, rather than legislators or justice department bureaucrats, have been responsible for the adoption of circle sentencing as a recognized process in Canadian criminal justice. Luke Mcnamara reviews the manner in which provincial and territorial appellate courts have responded to the emergence of circle sentencing gin their respective jurisdictions. His aim is to illuminate the actual and potential impact of appellate court scrutiny of circle sentencing. Toward this end, …

The Development Of British Railway Accounting: 1800-1911, John Glynn
The Development Of British Railway Accounting: 1800-1911, John Glynn
John J Glynn
This paper concentrates on accounting aspects arising from the development of the railways. Railways in nineteenth century Britain had a major influence in reshaping some of the legislative procedures in parliament, the development of the capital market, and the economy at large. A background is provided to the first government regulations, introduced in 1840, and all subsequent major developments which led up to the Railway Companies (Accounts and Returns) Act, 1911. Why had it taken over eighty years (since the first commercial railway was established in 1830) to produce a standard presentation of accounts and financial reports?

This short book reports the results of the first of a two part research investigation - an evaluation of accounting practices by Scottish local authorities. Part II will, in due course, consider what information the users of local authority accounts actually want (as opposed to what they receive).

Gp Practice Budgets: An Evaluation Of The Financial Risks And Rewards, John Glynn, Michael Murphy, David Perkins
John J Glynn
The proposals for GP practice budgets introduced by the 1989 White Paper, Working for Patients (Cm.555), represents a major departure from the original philosophy of the NHS. The Government set out in a DOH 1990 paper, NHS Review Working Paper (3), their belief that: . . . practice budgets offer GPs an opportunity to improve the quality of services on offer to patients, to stimulate hospitals to be more responsive to the needs of GPs and their patients and to develop their own practices for the benefit of their patients. It will also enable the practices which take part to …

Control And Accountability In The Nhs Market: A Practical Proposition Or Logical Impossibility?, John Glynn, David Perkins
John J Glynn
Within the NHS new quasi-market arrangements have divided management functions into three: (1) a policy/strategy function (deciding overall policy and resource allocation); (2) a buyer/commissioning function (developing and managing contracts to purchase services to achieve this policy); and (3) a contractor function (providing services to clients). For background on the formation of the NHS quasi-market see Le Grand and Bartlett[1] and Tilley[2]. In this “managed” market the strategy process has been somewhat removed from operational management. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s the medical profession continually acted to preserve their professionalism/monopoly with regard to choices over care and treatment, justified by …
Performance Auditing And Performance Improvement In Government: Public Sector Management Reform, Changing Accountabilities And The Role Of Performance Audit, John Glynn
John J Glynn
Public expenditure crises of the 1970s and 1980s led many governments to: - firstly, enforce stricter financial climates that included the use of cash limits and cash planning to motivate public servants towards greater economy and efficiency; and - secondly, to introduce a series of other reforms that gave pre-eminence to what has become colloquially termed the “new public management” (NPM). Key to many of these reforms was the belief that NPM would lead to more publicly accountable management and that limited resources would not only be used more efficiently but also more effectively in terms of intended policy objectives. …

Human Resource Management Audit In Government, John Glynn, Andrew Gray, Michael Murphy, Sarah Vickerstaff
John J Glynn
In the spring of 1988 the authors were engaged by the National Audit Office to act as external advisers to its newly established human resources unit. The functions of the advisers during a ninemonth period were threefold: • to advise on an audit methodology suitable for examining manpower planning processes within the Civil Service; • to consider the audit evidence collected by the National Audit Office team from the Treasury and four line departments; • to comment on the drafting of this, the first, National Audit Office human resource management audit report. Under the terms of this engagement we shall …

Australian Federal Financial Control And Accountability - A Review, J Glynn, M Mccrae
John J Glynn
Westminster systems of government are often typified by public sector organisations which act as agents of production and distribution. Their activities may be limited either to the provision of ‘public’ goods in situations of market failure or, as is more popularly the case under Westminster systems of government, they may be required to act as direct instruments for the implementation of the economic and welfare policies of the government of the day, as in the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. Recent years have seen severe criticism in all these countries of the effectiveness of the financial control and accountability processes …
