Australian Critical Infrastructure Protection: A Case Of Two Tales, Matthew Warren, Graeme Pye, William Hutchinson
Australian Critical Infrastructure Protection: A Case Of Two Tales, Matthew Warren, Graeme Pye, William Hutchinson
Australian Information Warfare and Security Conference
The protection of critical infrastructures and the choices made in terms of priorities and cost, all impact upon the planning, precautions and security aspects of protecting these important systems. Often the when choices made is difficult to assess at the time the decision is taken and it is only after an incident that the truth of the choices made become fully evident. The paper focuses on two recent examples of Australian Critical Infrastructure protection and the issues that related to those examples.
Australia's Proposed Internet Filtering System : Its Implications For Animation, Comic And Gaming (Acg) And Slash Fan Communities, Mark J. Mclelland
Australia's Proposed Internet Filtering System : Its Implications For Animation, Comic And Gaming (Acg) And Slash Fan Communities, Mark J. Mclelland
Mark McLelland
This paper investigates the implications of the Australian Government’s proposed Internet filtering system in the light of Australia’s blanket prohibition of ‘child pornography’ (including cartoons, animation, drawings, digitally manipulated photographs, and text) for Australian fan communities of ACG and slash. ACG/slash fan groups in Australia and elsewhere routinely consume, produce and disseminate material containing ‘prohibited content’ (i.e. featuring fictitious ‘under-age’ characters in violent and sexual scenarios). Moreover, a large portion of the fans producing and trading in these images are themselves ‘under age’. Focusing specifically upon the overwhelmingly female fandom surrounding Japanese ‘Boys’ Love’ (BL) manga, the paper argues that …

Activating The Teaching-Research Nexus In Smaller Universities: Case Studies Highlighting Diversity Of Practice, William E. Boyd, Meg O'Reilly, Danny Bucher, Kath Fisher, Anja Morton, Peter Lynton Harrison, Elaine Nuske, Rebecca Coyle, Karyn Rendall
Journal of University Teaching & Learning Practice
The teaching-research nexus (TRN) has become an important process in the modern University, providing both identity to university scholarship and a device for the integration of academics’ work. Over the last decade many reports have identified the need to both establish institution-wide processes to embed and support TRN, and assist in academic professional development in adopting TRN. This case study reports one such institutional project, focussing on one element of the staff development program, a TRN panel discussion by academics who have engaged TRN. The discussion was structured around the five TRN dimensions of: Learning through research; Research-led teaching; Researching …

Optimality, Efficiency, And Equity: A Comparative Analysis Of Australia’S Healthcare System, Christos Makridis
Optimality, Efficiency, And Equity: A Comparative Analysis Of Australia’S Healthcare System, Christos Makridis
Undergraduate Economic Review
With entitlement spending dramatically increasing, poised for further increases, healthcare has been placed at the forefront of economic domestic policy. In surveying the international landscape, few countries have successfully sustained an efficient and equitable healthcare industry. In this sense, nexus question in the health care debate becomes balancing the desire for cost-effectiveness & efficiency with equity. As such, this article will describe the historical and economic developments that contributed to the development of the American medical system. The article will also examine the success of Australia’s two tiered health care system and provide policy recommendations based on the findings.
International Students’ Engagement With Effective Educational Practices : A Cross-National Comparison, Daniel Edwards, Hamish Bennett Coates, Ali Radloff
International Students’ Engagement With Effective Educational Practices : A Cross-National Comparison, Daniel Edwards, Hamish Bennett Coates, Ali Radloff
Dr Daniel Edwards
International students in USA universities have higher levels of engagement with their institution when compared to international students enrolled in Australasian universities. ❚ The largest difference between USA and Australian international students was related to student and staff interactions. ❚ The growth in engagement with their institution between first and later year students among the international cohort is more prominent among those enrolled in USA than those in Australia or New Zealand. ❚ Among Australasian higher education students the international student group on average have higher levels of engagement than domestic students. ❚ When compared cross-nationally, the engagement score difference …

Should New Bills Of Rights Address Emerging International Human Rights Norms? The Challenge Of 'Defamation Of Religion', Robert C. Blitt
Should New Bills Of Rights Address Emerging International Human Rights Norms? The Challenge Of 'Defamation Of Religion', Robert C. Blitt
Scholarly Works
The emerging international human rights norm of “defamation of religion,” an ongoing flashpoint in debates at the United Nations (UN) and elsewhere, merits the attention of all parties playing a role in the drafting of new bills of rights. This article uses the case study of defamation of religion, as an emerging norm and the current debate over a possible Australian bill of rights, to argue that a well-rounded drafting process. This drafting process should contemplate the relevancy and impact of emerging norms as a means of enhancing the process, deepening domestic understanding of rights, and ensuring an outcome instrument …

The Socio-Ethical Considerations Surrounding Government Mandated Location-Based Services During Emergencies: An Australian Case Study, Anas Aloudat, K. Michael
Associate Professor Katina Michael
The adoption of mobile technologies for emergency management has the capacity to save lives. In Australia in February 2009, the Victorian Bushfires claimed 173 lives, the worst peace-time disaster in the nation’s history. The Australian government responded swiftly to the tragedy by going to tender for mobile applications that could be used during emergencies, such as mobile alerts and location services. These applications have the ability to deliver personalized information direct to the citizen during crises, complementing traditional broadcasting mediums like television and radio. Indeed governments have a responsibility to their citizens to safeguard them against both natural and human-made …
A Tale Of Two Strategies For Higher Education And Economic Recovery: Ireland And Australia, Ellen Hazelkorn, Vin Massaro
A Tale Of Two Strategies For Higher Education And Economic Recovery: Ireland And Australia, Ellen Hazelkorn, Vin Massaro
Conference Papers
As Dirk van Damme suggested (van Damme, 2009), the effects of the global financial crisis (GFC) have been manifold and complex and affected countries differently. Australia and Ireland have fared very differently in the GFC so choices will inevitably have been influenced by their relative capacity to spend on higher education. Since 1988 Australia has had a unitary, government-regulated but independent higher education system with block funding from a combination of government allocations and student contributions. In contrast, Ireland retains a government-regulated binary system dependent upon public investment and direct government control of staffing budgets. In recent years, both countries …

Troglofauna In The Pilbara Region, Western Australia Troglofauna In The Pilbara Region, Western Australia – Patterns In Diversity And Distribution, And Sampling Considerations For Conservation, Peter Bell, Stefan Eberhard, G. Perina
KIP Abstracts
"Discovery of diverse terrestrial invertebrate assemblages in subterranean habitats associated with iron-ore bearing rocks in the Pilbara region has driven a spate of troglofauna surveys as part of pre-mining environmental impact assessment. We present the results from recent surveys undertaken by mining companies which contribute new understanding towards this remarkable hidden element of biodiversity in Western Australia's arid regions. Patterns in the systematic composition, species richness and abundance of troglofauna assemblages collected from mining exploration drill holes are described. The systematic composition of the assemblages includes arachnids (Araneae, Pseudoscorpionida, Schizomida, Palpigrada), insects (Diplura, Thysanura, Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Blattodea), myriapods (Diplopoda, Chilopoda, …
Impacts Of Climate Change On Stygofauna In Southwest Western Australia., Stefan Eberhard
Impacts Of Climate Change On Stygofauna In Southwest Western Australia., Stefan Eberhard
KIP Abstracts
Southwest Western Australia has experienced an unparalleled climate shift since the mid 1970's, characterised by reduced rainfall which has contributed to declining groundwater levels. Climate modelling attributes part of this change to atmospheric greenhouse gases, and predicts the drying trend will increase over coming decades. Groundwater pools and streams in limestone caves at Yanchep and the Leeuwin- Naturaliste region are habitat for assemblages of stygofauna associated with tree roots which grow in the cave pools and streams. Because of the declining water levels, these Aquatic Root Mat Communities were listed as Threatened Ecological Communities (TECs) (status Endangered) under the Federal …

Local Government Planning Responses To The Physical Impacts Of Climate Change In New South Wales, Australia, Nadine E. White
Local Government Planning Responses To The Physical Impacts Of Climate Change In New South Wales, Australia, Nadine E. White
Nadine E White
Effective policy responses of governments to the impacts of unavoidable climate change require effective adaptation plans. This paper presents the results of original research conducted in New South Wales, Australia, on the planning response of local governments for adapting to the physical impacts of climate change. Local government is the level of governance that is at the ‘coal face’ of dealing with sea level rise, coastal erosion, increased storm events, increased flooding, increased drought and other physical impacts of climate change in Australia. The study investigates the perceptions of local government planners regarding the actions taken within their local government …

Impacts Of Climate Change On Subterranean Wetlands In Western Australia, Stefan Eberhard
Impacts Of Climate Change On Subterranean Wetlands In Western Australia, Stefan Eberhard
KIP Abstracts
West Australian groundwater supports diverse faunas (stygofauna) that include many obligate groundwater-dependent species (stygobites), often belonging to relictual lineages, and which are typically short range endemics. These characteristics make stygofauna vulnerable to habitat changes, particularly reduced water quantity, which is a key stressor linked with climate change. In southwest Western Australia, a drying climate trend experienced over the past three decades has contributed to declining groundwater levels in the limestone caves at Yanchep and the Leeuwin-Naturaliste region. Groundwater pools and streams in these caves are habitat for assemblages of stygofauna associated with tree roots which grow in the cave pools …

This article, which constituted a plenary address at the Corporate Law Teachers Association Conference, 2010, traverses the range of regulatory measures that have been implemented in the corporate governance and prudential risk management fields with a focus upon developments in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
Vertical Separation Of Telecommunications Networks: Evidence From Five Countries, Robert W. Crandall, Jeffrey A. Eisenach, Robert E. Litan
Vertical Separation Of Telecommunications Networks: Evidence From Five Countries, Robert W. Crandall, Jeffrey A. Eisenach, Robert E. Litan
Federal Communications Law Journal
The widespread adoption of mandatory unbundling in telecommunications markets has led to growing interest in mandatory "functional separation," i.e., separation of upstream network operations from downstream retail operations. Since 2002, vertical separation has been implemented in five OECD countries: Australia, Italy, New Zealand, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. In 2008, the International Telecommunications Union noted "a tremendous amount of interest" in functional separation around the world; and, in April 2009, the European Parliament held its second reading on a new regulatory framework that embraces functional separation as an "exceptional measure." While the U.S. does not currently require unbundling of broadband …
Sex Work For The Soul, Lucinda Blissbomb
Sex Work For The Soul, Lucinda Blissbomb
Wagadu: A Journal of Transnational Women's & Gender Studies
As a white, middle-class Australian sex worker, my greatest professional fear was being “outed” to the women’s and community organizations with which I worked. For twenty years I supplemented my activist work, with its concomitant high social capital but limited financial rewards, with sex work, which provides financial rewards accompanied by significant stigma. This paper discusses the strategies I built into my day-to-day existence to protect my privacy, manage stress, and keep a long-term secret from my loved ones and colleagues while engaging in activism to promote our rights and the notion that sex work is real, and rewarding, work

The Consanguinity Of Ideas: Race And Anti-Communism In The U.S. - Australian Relationship, 1933 - 1953, Travis J. Hardy
Doctoral Dissertations
American diplomatic historian’s consideration of the role of ideology in the formation of American foreign policy has only recently begun to receive more attention. Traditional focuses on economics and relations among great nation-states have predominated the historical literature. This work examines the powerful effect that ideology, particularly race and anti-communism, played in developing the U.S.’s relationship with a small power nation-state, Australia, between 1933 and 1953. This work is comparative in nature, relying on archival research in both American and Australian archives and examines the attitudes of both elite policymakers as well as common individuals in shaping the alliance between …

`Finding Gold In A Gully': Nineteenth-Century Australia In Constructions Of British Domesticity From Sensation Fiction To Realism, Lisa Vandenbossche
All Theses
This thesis investigates nineteenth-century Australia as a frequently disregarded site of colonial discourse where men and women were able to create wealth but unable to transform economic gains into social currency upon return to England and irrevocably weakened English patriarchal authority when they attempted to do so. Unlike many of the other British colonies such as India and Africa, due to its demographics the Australian colonies by and large remained absent from nineteenth-century racial violence, thus allowing greater possibilities for economic advancement and social rehabilitation of disenfranchised English populations. By combining travel narratives with the sensation fiction of Mary Elizabeth …
Black And White On Black: Whiteness And Masculinity In The Works Of Three Australian Writers - Thomas Keneally, Colin Thiele, And Patrick White., Matthew Israel Byrge
Black And White On Black: Whiteness And Masculinity In The Works Of Three Australian Writers - Thomas Keneally, Colin Thiele, And Patrick White., Matthew Israel Byrge
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
White depictions of Aborigines in literature have generally been culturally biased. In this study I explore four depictions of Indigenous Australians by white Australian writers. Thomas Keneally's The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith (1972) depicts a half-caste Aborigine's attempt to enter white society in a racially-antipathetic world that precipitates his ruin. Children's author Colin Thiele develops friendships between white and Aboriginal children in frightening and dangerous landscapes in both Storm Boy (1963) and Fire in the Stone (1973). Nobel laureate Patrick White sets A Fringe of Leaves (1976) in a world in which Ellen Roxburgh's quest for freedom comes only through …
Climate Change - Implications For Geotourism And Biodiversity Conservation In The Caves Of Southwest Western Australia, Stefan Eberhard
Climate Change - Implications For Geotourism And Biodiversity Conservation In The Caves Of Southwest Western Australia, Stefan Eberhard
KIP Abstracts
Based on a study of caves in southwest Western Australia, this presentation explores the form-process linkages between geology, hydrology and ecology (eco-hydrogeology), and their relationships with climate. This case study demonstrated the impacts and ongoing threat that climate change poses to geo-processes and biodiversity, which has implications for geo/ecotourism globally. Cave geotourism has been practised in southwest Western Australia for more than 100 years. One of the major attractions for visitors to these caves is their spectacular underground lakes and streams. The cave lakes and streams also harbor a rich biodiversity of endemic cave dwelling fauna. Because of a drying …

San Diego International Law Journal
This Article compares the modern corporate regulatory environments in the United States and Australia, including an analysis of the climate for Directors & Officers (D & O) liability coverage. Comparing these regulations across two large markets with similar historical bases for assessing director and officer liability allows us to explore which reforms may be more effective as new scandals emerge.
Carbon Down Under - Lessons From Australia: Two Recommendations For Clarifying Subsurface Property Rights To Facilitate Onshore Geologic Carbon Sequestration In The United States, Tracy J. Logan
San Diego International Law Journal
This Comment’s analysis requires a few necessary assumptions. First, the feasibility of large-scale deployment of geologic CCS technology for the purposes of permanently storing CO2 is assumed. Second, the establishment of a regulatory framework with incentives to mitigate or offset GHGs is assumed. Third, the carbon-capture technology retrofitting of point-source emitters is assumed. And finally, the existence of infrastructure to transport supercritical CO2 to a storage site is assumed. This Comment contains five parts: Part I provides an introduction and overview to contextualize the need for CCS; Part II details the technology of GS; Part III is an overview of …

Rights Of The Wrongfully Convicted, Robyn Lincoln, Carol Morrison
Robyn Lincoln
Extract:
Interest and recognition of miscarriages of justice has been increasing in Australia and indeed around the world, generated by high profile cases, the emergence of Innocence Projects, as well as tribunals such as the Criminal Cases Review Commission in the United Kingdom. Despite this, there is often a desire to marginalise miscarriages of justice, evidenced by narrow definitions that are limited to situations where the review mechanisms in place have failed to correct the wrong that has occurred. In contrast, a broader definition describes a miscarriage as a failure to achieve justice. Indeed this failure 'can occur at any …
