Early Chinese Newspapers In Australia: Trove Presents A New Perspective On Australian History, Kate Bagnall

Most Australian historians will tell you that there was a “before Trove” and an “after Trove”. Being able to search and access digitised copies of hundreds of Australian newspapers, from major city dailies to small country papers, has changed the way we work and the sorts of histories we are able to write.

'Workchoices - Characterisation, Effects And Resistance: An Amwu Perspective, Brett Heino
'Workchoices - Characterisation, Effects And Resistance: An Amwu Perspective, Brett Heino
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
This article seeks to explore how the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union (AMWU) represented the Howard Government's 'WorkChoices' legislation in its official journal, AMWU News. Applying Kelly's (2008) study of industrial relations 'frames,' this paper seeks to explore the AMWU's characterisation of the legislation, the modalities of resistance it encouraged, and the level and nature of support given to the Australian Labor Party (ALP). It is argued that a consistent, total but untheorised vision of the negative impacts and key players of the WorkChoices legislation is forwarded, along with a campaign of resistance that is largely oriented to the political arena. …
Dowry In Bangladesh: A Search From An International Perspective For An Effective Legal Approach To Mitigate Women’S Experiences, Afroza Begum
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
For some 40 years, Bangladesh has fought a losing battle against the existence of dowries and their associated abuse with no indication of even a minimal impact as dowry demands inflate and violence increases. In one year alone, dowry related violence claimed the lives of 325 women and contributed to 66.7 per cent of the violent incidents against women. This article aims to investigate the appropriateness and effectiveness of legal approaches to dowry and propose a different standard for redressing women’s disadvantaged situation in the traditional culture of Bangladesh.

Bullshit: An Australian Perspective, Or, What Can An Organisational Change Impact Statement Tell Us About Higher Education In Australia?, Katherine Bode, Leigh Dale

In the last few years, a scholarly critique of current forms and directions of higher education has become increasingly prominent. This work, often but not exclusively focussed on the American and British systems, and on humanities disciplines, laments the transformation of the university into ‘a fast-food outlet that sells only those ideas that its managers believe will sell [and] treats its employees as if they were too devious or stupid to be trusted’ (Parker and Jary 335). Topics include the proliferation of courses and subject areas seen as profitable, particularly for overseas students;1 the commensurate diminution or dissolution of ‘unprofitable’ …
Social Connectedness And Generalized Trust: A Longitudinal Perspective, Patrick Sturgis, Roger Patulny, Nick Allum, Franz Buscha
Social Connectedness And Generalized Trust: A Longitudinal Perspective, Patrick Sturgis, Roger Patulny, Nick Allum, Franz Buscha
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Social, or ’generalized‘, trust refers to beliefs that people hold about how other people in society will in general act towards them. Can people in general be trusted? Or must one be careful in dealing with people? Research on the antecedents of social trust has typically relied on cross-sectional regression estimators to evaluate putative causes. Our contention is that much of this research over-estimates the importance of many of these causes because of the failure to account for unmeasured confounding influences. In this paper we use longitudinal data to assess the causal status of a particularly prominent mooted cause of …
The Young Report: An Australian Perspective On The Latest Response To Britain's "Compensation Culture", James Goudkamp
The Young Report: An Australian Perspective On The Latest Response To Britain's "Compensation Culture", James Goudkamp
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
This article addresses the Young Report, which is an important recent response to Britain's putative ‘compensation culture’. This report is examined with reference to the far-reaching reforms of tort law that occurred in Australia at the start of the twenty-first century. The analysis reveals that while there are certain similarities in the way in which tort law has been reformed in Australia and Britain, the reform experience in these jurisdictions has been quite different. The main difference is that attention in Britain has centred on the system of procedure by which tort law is administered whereas in Australia the focus …
The Coroner's Recommendation: Fulfilling Its Potential? A Perspective From The Aboriginal Legal Service [Nsw/Act], Raymond Brazil
The Coroner's Recommendation: Fulfilling Its Potential? A Perspective From The Aboriginal Legal Service [Nsw/Act], Raymond Brazil
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Coroners Acts in New South Wales (‘NSW’) and the Australian Capital Territory (‘ACT’) confer on coroners jurisdiction to conduct inquests into certain kinds of death. As the outcome of a hearing, a coroner is tasked by their legislation to reach and record prescribed findings relating to the deceased, their death, and its manner and cause. These determinations enable that death to be registered under the relevant Birth, Deaths and Marriages legislation. If, though, this information can be established from preliminary investigations, a coroner has the discretion to dispense with an inquest hearing, unless the death investigated is of a category …
