Does Otolith Chemistry Indicate Diadromous Lifecycles For Five Australian Riverine Fishes?, Ronald J. West, N. G. Miles, M. D. Norman
Does Otolith Chemistry Indicate Diadromous Lifecycles For Five Australian Riverine Fishes?, Ronald J. West, N. G. Miles, M. D. Norman
Faculty of Law - Papers (Archive)
Diadromy is an important characteristic of the lifecycle of many Australian coastal fishes, but many of these species remain poorly studied. The migratory patterns of five riverine fish species from south-eastern Australia were examined using otolith chemistry. Analyses of individual otoliths from wild-caught fishes revealed distinctive lateral variation in otolith Sr : Ca values that provide good evidence for an amphidromous lifecycle for two species: Myxus petardi and Gobiomorphus australis. Gobiomorphus coxii, Potamalosa richmondia and Notesthes robusta displayed Sr : Ca patterns that indicated that these species may have more complex movements between marine and fresh water. Overall, these results …

"I don't believe that the best of this country's writers will wish to rest on 'identity': that is, to invite the risk that a work will be praised, and even over-valued, for its Australian associations - however striking their effects - rather than for its greater human truth." (Hazzard, Boyoer Lectures, 28)
Australian And Chinese Perceptions Of (Im)Politeness In An Intercultural Apology, Wei-Lin Melody Chang
Australian And Chinese Perceptions Of (Im)Politeness In An Intercultural Apology, Wei-Lin Melody Chang
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
This study aims to explore the variables in perceptions of (im)politeness in an intercultural apology, focusing on discussion of the cultural and gender differences. Through the study’s instrument, a conversation between an Australian and a Taiwanese Chinese speaker, the study suggests that there are indeed some differences in perceptions of (im)politeness across different cultural groups, since the participants from these two backgrounds tend to use distinctive strategies to make apologies. The study’s findings indicate that the cultural factor is more influential in the perceptions of (im)politeness than the gender factor. The gender differences found in these perceptions require further investigation …

Enforcing Australian Law In Antarctica: The Hsi Litigation, Ruth A. Davis
Enforcing Australian Law In Antarctica: The Hsi Litigation, Ruth A. Davis
Faculty of Law - Papers (Archive)
Law enforcement in Antarctica is complicated by uncertainties regarding sovereignty and jurisdiction. In line with the usual practice of the Antarctic Treaty parties, Australia has generally refrained from enforcing its legislation for the Australian Antarctic Territory against foreigners. Recent litigation that attempts to enforce Australian whale protection laws against Japanese whalers in Antarctica represents a challenge to this traditional approach. The HIS Litigation highlights the ongoing difficulties faced by Australia in trying to effectively manage the Australian Antarctic Territory within the constraints of the Antarctic Treaty System. Using fisheries regulation and continental shelf delimitation as comparative examples, this commentary highlights …
The Allied Occupation Of Japan - An Australian View, Christine De Matos
The Allied Occupation Of Japan - An Australian View, Christine De Matos
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
The Japanese Occupation is generally remembered as primarily an American affair and as a dichotomous relationship between Japan and the United States. However, it was an Allied Occupation, and, despite the persistence of selective historical memories, there was a distinct and at times contentious Allied presence, contribution, and experience. The Occupation provided a terrain on which the victor nations, believing their social, economic and political values vindicated by victory, competed to reshape the character of Japan's modernity. One Ally that participated in this process, and often acted as a dissenting voice, was Australia. Examining the involvement of additional participants in …

Re-Shaping Australian Intelligence, Sandy Gordon
Faculty of Law - Papers (Archive)
security challenges and the information and communications technology (ICT) revolution have radically altered the environment in which Australian intelligence operates. Despite some changes at the margin, Australias intelligence community is still primarily configured to meet the kinds of challenges it dealt with in the Cold War.
A Review Of A. Dirk Moses (Ed.), Genocide And Settler Society: Frontier Violence And Stolen Indigenous Children In Australian History, Lorenzo Veracini
A Review Of A. Dirk Moses (Ed.), Genocide And Settler Society: Frontier Violence And Stolen Indigenous Children In Australian History, Lorenzo Veracini
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Genocide and Settler Society constitutes a successful exercise in deparochialization. Until now, discussions of genocides in an Australian context have centered on whether this category could be applied, accompanied by debated qualifications, to the experience of Indigenous people. On the contrary, Genocide and Settler Society ultimately and convincingly reverses this order. It is not a matter of testing the relevance of genocide studies to Australian history; rather, there is a need to explore the ways in which genocide studies at large can benefit from an appraisal of the Australian experience. In order to perform this intellectual recasting, Dirk Moses has …

Faculty of Law - Papers (Archive)
Significant developments have recently occurred in the ongoing campaign by the Australian Government to combat illegal foreign fishing in Australian waters, particularly against Patagonian toothfish poaching. On 22 March 2004 significant amendments to Australia’s fisheries laws were passed by the Commonwealth Parliament to improve regulatory efficiency and combat illegal foreign fishing in the Australian Fishing Zone (AFZ). In addition, on 12 March 2004 the Federal Court of Australia delivered a landmark decision in Olbers v Commonwealth of Australia (No 4) [2004] FCA 229 concerning the automatic forfeiture of foreign vessels to the Commonwealth of Australia at the time when a …

The Hidden Whiteness Of Australian Law: A Case Study, Janet Ransley, Elena Marchetti
The Hidden Whiteness Of Australian Law: A Case Study, Janet Ransley, Elena Marchetti
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Indigenous people face procedural barriers in bringing actions in the Australian legal system, such as the need to frame their claims within Western cultural constructs of individual actions and economic loss, and to transform their stories into the written evidence privileged by courts. But an even greater barrier is the hidden Whiteness of Australian courts, which places Indigenous people as the 'Other' who must either change their claims to conform with 'our' requirements, or be rejected. The case study explored in this article shows how this Whiteness exhibits itself in procedural requirements; in its racialising of Indigenous people, their claims …
Engendering Scientific Pursuits: Australian Women And Science, 1880-1960, Jane L. Carey
Engendering Scientific Pursuits: Australian Women And Science, 1880-1960, Jane L. Carey
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Science is generally perceived as one of the most strongly gendered spheres within modern society. The perceived 'masculine' construction of scientific practice has been the focus of numerous overseas studies of women's historic absence from science. However, the experiences of Australian women scientists, in many ways, stand in stark contrast to this construction. Existing historical accounts of Australian science reveal little about women's participation in the field. It is perhaps surprising to find that, during the first half of this century, women were in fact studying science in quite high numbers. Indeed, few seem to have felt they were doing …
