Public Interest Litigation: Making The Case In Australia, Andrea Durbach, Luke Mcnamara, Simon Rice, Mark Rix
Sydney Business School - Papers
Litigation is widely and appropriately recognised as an important component of the public interest advocacy 'toolkit'. Yet, little attention has been paid in Australian research and scholarship to an important question: under what circumstances is public interest litigation (PIL) an effective way to bring about progressive social change? Informed by a review of the international literature on PIL, the authors of this article argue for the importance of drawing on Australia's rich history with PIL to develop a solid empirical evidence base which can inform future decision about the strategic employment of PIL in campaigns to address the concerns and …

Risk Within The Foundation Of Australian Supply : A Cross-Sectoral, Cross-Regional Perspective, Lee Styger Sydney Business School
Risk Within The Foundation Of Australian Supply : A Cross-Sectoral, Cross-Regional Perspective, Lee Styger Sydney Business School
Sydney Business School - Papers
Supplier capability and customer engagement trends have changed considerably in recent times. Once robust supply networks have been eroded and capacity reduced, OEM engagement patterns have changed that now often preclude existing suppliers in favour of new, alternative suppliers. In 2010 and 2011 a series of supply focus groups and key interviews with customers indicated that OME’s have typically focused attention on Tier 1 and Tier 2 supplier and lost visibility of lower level suppliers, by outsourcing the management and responsibility of the lower level suppliers to their Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers. The outsourcing of management and responsibility …

Analysing Beef Supply Chain Strategy In Australia, The United States And The United Kingdom, Ferry Jie, Kevin Anthony Parton
Analysing Beef Supply Chain Strategy In Australia, The United States And The United Kingdom, Ferry Jie, Kevin Anthony Parton
Sydney Business School - Papers
The purpose of the paper is to apply recently developed methods to compare and contrast the operation of beef supply chains in Australia, the US and UK. This comparison reveals aspects of the supply chains that are a consequence of their respective contexts, including resource endowments in the various countries. The market structure is a critical factor in determining optimal supply chain configurations. As a consequence, a lean approach to SCM is more likely to succeed in Australia than in the other two countries.
Australia And The 'War Against Terrorism': Terrorism, National Security And Human Rights, Mark D. Rix
Australia And The 'War Against Terrorism': Terrorism, National Security And Human Rights, Mark D. Rix
Sydney Business School - Papers
This article considers whether in the „war against terrorism‟ national security is eroded or strengthened by weakening or removing the human rights of the individuals who constitute the polity. It starts with the view that national security is, at its most fundamental, founded upon the security and liberty of the person from criminal and violent acts, including terrorist attacks. Such attacks, and the individuals and groups who perpetrate them, constitute a grave threat to the peace and security of nations the world over and thus endanger the security and liberty of the individuals who make up their populations. Governments are …
Star Or Black Hole? Australia And The International Transfers Of Anti-Terrorism Policy, Mark D. Rix
Star Or Black Hole? Australia And The International Transfers Of Anti-Terrorism Policy, Mark D. Rix
Sydney Business School - Papers
This paper investigates the role that Australia is playing in the international transfer or diffusion of anti-terrorism policy. It is widely believed that those Western states that actually have been the target of homeland terrorist attacks, in particular the United States and Britain, have led the way in enacting harsh national security and counter-terrorism legislation. It is further assumed that other states have followed the lead of these vanguards in adopting and implementing their own legislative response to terrorist threats to national security. There is some merit in this view. In the wake of the September 11 attacks of 2001 …

Stroke Outcomes In Australia - Five Years Of Aroc Data, Tara L. Stevermuer
Sydney Business School - Papers
Introduction: Many stroke patients, although initially managed in an acute care setting, are admitted to a designated rehabilitation facility. This facility could be a ward in the same acute hospital as their initial treatment, or a ward in a sub-acute hospital. Where the patient receives treatment that meets the AN-SNAP definition of rehabilitation (refer “Definition of Rehabilitation” box) and the facility providing that treatment is a member of the Australasian Rehabilitation Outcomes Centre (AROC), information on their episode of care is reported to the national rehabilitation database held by AROC.
