Grant Cairncross
Purpose – The purpose of this paper was to examine the direct economic and social benefits accruing from the Birdsville Races. The paper also explores how strategic place marketing has been used to shape the image of the destination, and how this has provided a boost to tourism visitation to periods outside of the event. Design/methodology/approach – This study was based around a textual analysis of online discourse, interviews with local residents and business owners and a survey of visitors. Findings – The data indicate that the Races make a solid contribution to the local, regional and state economy; however …

Are Your Ducks In A Row? External And Internal Stakeholder Perceptions Of The Benefits Of Parks In New South Wales, Australia, Monica Torland, Betty Weiler, Brent D. Moyle, Isabelle D. Wolf
Betty Weiler
This research examines the strategic alignment between external and internal stakeholders’ perceptions of the benefits of parks. To achieve this objective, surveys were distributed to park agency staff, as well as a sample of residents in New South Wales, Australia. Findings revealed alignment between external and internal stakeholders, with executive managers’ perceptions being generally more favourable than staff and community. The paper pays particular attention to the alignment of internal stakeholders’ (staff) perceptions, which is important for establishing and defending the market position of parks. A high degree of strategic alignment was found between executive and staff for personal benefits. …

Agroecology And Sustainable Rural Livelihoods: A Conceptual Framework To Guide Development Projects In The Pacific Islands, Cherise Addinsall, Kevin S. Glencross, Pascal Scherrer, Betty Weiler, Donald Nichols
Betty Weiler
This article reviews rural development literature in the areas of sustainable livelihoods and agroecology. Combining agroecological and sustainable livelihoods approaches enables interdisciplinary research that incorporates principles from sociology, economics, agronomy and ecology. The outcome of this literature analysis alongside participatory research in Vanuatu and Fiji in 2013–2014 was the development of the integrated Agroecology and Sustainable Rural Livelihoods Framework (ASRLF). The Pacific Island nations have a well-developed traditional economy, but appropriate rural economic development has been problematic. The ASRLF seeks to function in the local Pacific Island context while also having relevance to sustainable rural development projects elsewhere.

Gender Differences In Experiences Of Tafe It Students: A Work In Progress, Raina Mason, Graham Cooper, Tim Comber, Anne Hellou, Julie Tucker
Raina Mason
In Australia, one of the sources of loss of females in the IT education pipeline occurs at the TAFE (college) level. Female students comprise the majority of early TAFE IT courses and female completion rates for these courses are similar to males. Despite this early success, most females choose to not continue to Diploma level, and through articulation pathways into university IT courses. A survey was conducted to determine possible differences in experiences between male and female TAFE IT students. It was found that more females than males lived alone or with dependents. Female students had higher employment status, higher …

In 2000 Central Queensland University conducted the first major review and redevelopment of its teacher education programs. Consequently the Bachelor of Learning Management (or BLM) came into being. A central premise of the BLM was the concept of graduate teachers having a ‘futures orientation’. In this article the results of a study into the perceptions of mentors and graduate teachers, with respect to a futures orientation, are reported.

The Challenge Of Changing Teacher Education, David Lynch, Richard Smith
David Lynch
This article is about the challenges of changing teacher education in Australia. While the ‘problems’ of teacher education have been well documented for over 30 years in the literature, they constantly re-emerge in reports and academic papers globally. This chapter unravels some of the real politik that confront change agents. The examples are drawn from both New South Wales and the Australian government levels.

Teacher Education In Australia : Investigations Into Programming, Practicum And Partnership, David Lynch, Tony Yeigh
David Lynch
In the last decade in Australia teacher education has undergone numerous critical reviews, yet little on the teacher education front appears to have changed. Related to this, the teaching profession’s struggles to cope with a changing world have been publicly documented and an increasing push for improved school outcomes from Australian governments, at both the state and federal level, appear as regular pieces in the national press. This forms a complex situation involving competing concerns, and raises questions concerning what to make of the situation and how to move teacher education forward in Australia. This book seeks to answer these …

Workplace Relationships And The Innovative Behaviour Of Nursing Employees: A Social Exchange Perspective, Matthew Xerri
Workplace Relationships And The Innovative Behaviour Of Nursing Employees: A Social Exchange Perspective, Matthew Xerri
Matthew J Xerri
This research examines the impact of two organisational factors on the innovative behaviour of nurses. More specifically, this research applies the dimensions of Social Exchange Theory as a lens to develop an understanding into the mediating effect of perceived organisational support on the relationship between leader-member exchange and the innovative behaviour of nursing employees. This study uses a mixed-methods approach, including a survey in which 104 nurses responded with useable results and semi-structured interviews with twelve nursing unit managers (nursing supervisors). The findings confirm that perceived organisational support mediates the relationship between leader-member exchange and the innovative behaviour of nursing …
Law00520 Philosophy Of Law, 3rd Edition, Anne Schillmoller
Law00520 Philosophy Of Law, 3rd Edition, Anne Schillmoller
Anne Schillmoller
Philosophy, not jurisprudence Note that this is not a ‘jurisprudence’ unit. The reasons why will be discussed in detail in topic 1. Briefly, jurisprudence approaches questions about law from an ‘internal’ or ‘inside’ perspective, that is, one which seeks a conceptual basis for law from within law itself.This unit, however, aims to situate ideas about law and justice within a broader range of philosophical contexts. While traditional jurisprudence provides insights into particular theoretical movements within Anglo-Australian law, it fails to interrogatebroader philosophical frameworks or ‘external’ perspectives which inform thisjurisprudence. It is these broader frameworks which are the central concern of …

Building Trust In Online Customers, George M. Coles, William J. Smart
Building Trust In Online Customers, George M. Coles, William J. Smart
George M Coles
Although significant progress has been made towards securing the Internet environment, many consumers remain reluctant to participate in making on-line purchases. Cyber- crime continues to have a negative influence upon the uptake and acceptance of E-Commerce by consumers. As a result commercial website operators are faced with the problem of overcoming user distrust in their systems. The main argument put forward in this study is that a consumer’s trust depends more upon traditional marketing strategies than it does upon their beliefs in the security of on-line systems. In many cases these issues have been overlooked by web developers and vendors …

Functional Review Of Multi-Faith Services, Angela Coco
Angela Coco
A review of Chaplaincy Services at Southern Cross University (SCU) in 2004 resulted in the institution of The Multi-Faith Centre (MFC) and its guiding body, the Interfaith Advisory Committee (IFAC) in 2005. Since then the role of the Lismore Pastoral Care Coordinator has expanded as SCU campuses have grown and additional Pastoral Care Coordinators have been appointed to Coffs Harbour and Tweed Gold Coast campuses. This report outlines the ways the changing profile of SCU’s campuses and student population has implications for the provision of multi-faith resources and services. In the past year, IFAC has used a series of research …
Exploring The Parent-Family Worker Relationship In Rural Family Support Services : "You Build A Relationship... And Before You Know It You Start Working On The Problems That You Have Got", Elizabeth Reimer
Elizabeth Reimer
Building working relationships with families where child neglect is an issue is well known to be challenging, due to problems in engaging and retaining families and preventing worker feelings of helplessness and hoplessness. Despite this, some professionals achieve successful and effective relationships with such families. This study uses an interpretivist research methodology, principally drawing on hermeneutics and qualitative methods, to explore perceptions of parent-family worker relationships in a sample of regional family support services in New South Wales, Australia.

Reported Rates Of Foot Problems In Rural South-East Queensland, Susan Nancarrow
Susan Nancarrow
The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of self-reported foot problems in a rural region of south-east Queensland and establish the type of treatment sought by respondents. In December 1995, the West Moreton Regional Health Authority commissioned a health needs assessment of the semi-rural and rural land occupants in the region (n=600). Participants were asked questions relating to their general health, health practices and health services use. A series of questions about foot health were included in the survey. One quarter (25.7%) of respondents reported that they had foot related problems which had affected them within the …
