Item Metadata only Australian Year Book of International Law(Environmental Law Institute, 2000) Charlesworth, Hilary; McCorquodale, Robert G.Item Open Access Salt and the National Imaginary: The Photojournalism of the Dandi Satyagraha(Routledge Taylor & Francis Group, 2023) deCourcy, Elisa; Taylor, MilesThis article looks at how Gandhi used the Dandi Salt Satyagraha as a site for imagining anti-colonial nationalism. We focus on the visual dimensions of the Salt March and the divergent ways in which it was reported in the illustrated press in 1930. Developing Sumathi Ramaswamy's idea of the 'ambulatory aesthetic' (2020), we highlight how Gandhi created a personified protest. Moreover, he chose salt as a talismanic object, ubiquitous both temporally, back through India's colonial and pre-colonial past, and laterally, bridging religious identities but also illuminating class distinctions. We also describe how Gandhi's curated defiance was deliberately mutated and muted by the British, initially by way of censorship, but mostly through using biased visual newspaper and magazine reportage of their own in order to marginalise Gandhi and the salt marchers.Item Embargo The exorcist: law's crimes and art's super powers(Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd., 2020) Manderson, Desmond; McCutcheon, Jani; McGaughey, FionaRafael Cauduro's mural The Seven Crimes of Justice, situated in the Supreme Court of Mexico, speaks to the old problem of the relationship between art, politics and the State. In Mexico City, the birthplace of modern muralism, Rafael Cauduro confronts its ambivalent legacy and offers up new solutions. And at the same time, at the very heart of the legal system, Cauduro presents a critique of law and justice almost unprecedented in its uncompromising determination to lay bare the brutality of contemporary legal phenomena. This chapter examines how Cauduro's aesthetic choices address the history of modern muralism, and how his thematic choices address the history of modern law. This chapter addresses questions of time and memory, and demonstrates how the trope of the ghost has not merely aesthetic power but legal importance.Item Open Access Towards an interactional grammar of interjections: Expressing compassion in four Australian language(Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2023) Mushin, Ilana; Blythe, Joe; Dahmen, Josua; de Dear, Caroline; Gardner, Rod; Possemato, Francesco; Stirling, LesleyWords classified as 'interjections' tend to be treated in descriptive grammars as outside of morphosyntax, too contextually bound to warrant a systematic description of their syntagmatic relations. In this paper we argue that if one takes grammar to include recurrent patterns in conversational turns that are routinely connected with particular interactional functions, such as assessments and acknowledgements, then the grammar of interjections can indeed be incorporated into language description in ways that show the systematic relationships between form and function. We use a comparative corpus of conversations in four typologically distinct Australian Aboriginal languages (Garrwa, Gija, Jaru and Murrinhpatha) to illustrate how such an analysis may be developed. We focus on forms which have been described as 'compassionate interjections', which express that the speaker takes a compassionate affective stance towards something described in prior talk or evident in the situation. Despite differences in the morphological properties of these words in the languages we compare here, they display remarkable similarities in where they occur within conversational turns, and the functions they serve in different turn-related positions.Item Metadata only NCDs and the WHO Essential Medicines Lists: children need universal health coverage too(Elsevier B.V, 2019) Gray, Nicola J.; Chanoine, Jean-Pierre; Y Farmer, Mychelle; Jarvis, Jordan D.; Armstrong, Kate; Barr, Ronald D.; Faunce, Thomas; Lashley, P. Michele; Ndikumwenayo, Francois; Hauerslev, Marie; Karekezi, Catherine W.Item Open Access Antenatal care for alcohol consumption during pregnancy: pregnant women’s reported receipt of care and associated characteristics(BioMed Central, 2019) Doherty, Emma; Wiggers, John; Wolfenden, Luke; Anderson, Amy E.; Crooks, Kristy; Tsang, Tracey W; Elliott, Elizabeth J.; Dunlop, Adrian; Attia, John; Dray, Julia; Tully, BelindaBackground Antenatal clinical guidelines recommend that during initial and subsequent antenatal visits all pregnant women: have their alcohol consumption assessed; be advised that it is safest not to consume alcohol during pregnancy and of the potential risks of consumption; and be offered referrals for further support if required. However, the extent to which pregnant women attending public antenatal services receive guideline recommended care at these visits, and the characteristics associated with its receipt, is unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine: 1) pregnant women's reported receipt of guideline recommended care addressing alcohol consumption during pregnancy; 2) characteristics associated with the receipt of care; and 3) pregnant women's acceptability of care. Methods From July 2017 - February 2018 a survey (telephone or online) was undertaken with 1363 pregnant women who had recently visited a public antenatal service in one health district in Australia. Receipt and acceptability of recommended care were assessed via descriptive statistics and associations via logistic regression analyses. Results At the initial antenatal visit, less than two thirds (64.3%) of pregnant women reported that they received an assessment of their alcohol consumption and just over one third (34.9%) received advice and referral appropriate to their self-reported level of alcohol consumption since pregnancy recognition. Less than 10% of women received such care at subsequent antenatal visits. Characteristics that significantly increased the odds of receiving all guideline elements at the initial antenatal visit included: less than university attainment (OR = 1.93; 95% CI:1.12, 3.34), not residing in an advantaged area (OR = 2.11; 95% CI:1.17, 3.79), first pregnancy (OR = 1.91; 95% CI:1.22, 2.99) and regional/rural service location (OR = 2.38; 95% CI:1.26, 4.48); and at subsequent visits: younger age (OR = 0.91; 95% CI:0.84, 0.99) and Aboriginal origin (OR = 3.17; 95% CI:1.22, 8.24). Each of the recommended care elements were highly acceptable to pregnant women (88.3-99.4%). Conclusions Although care for alcohol consumption is both recommended by clinical guidelines and highly acceptable to pregnant women, its receipt in public antenatal services is suboptimal. There is a need and an opportunity for interventions to support antenatal care providers to routinely and consistently provide such care to all pregnant women.Item Open Access Review of the implementation of the Family Violence Act 2016 (ACT)(ANU Centre for Social Research & Methods, 2021) Bartels, Lorana; Easteal, Patricia; Dodd, ShannonPublication Embargo Biological colonization of Motmot, a recently-created tropical island(The Royal Society, 1975) Ball, Eldon E.; Glucksman, J.Motmot is an island formed in 1968 by a volcanic eruption in Lake Wisdom, a large freshwater lake filling the central caldera of Long Island, Papua New Guinea. The progress of biological colonization of the island, which lies about 3 km from the nearest land, was surveyed in 1969, 1971, 1972 and 1973. Motmot erupted repeatedly in 1973, thus interrupting the gradual increase in life there, so the present account describes the progress of colonization up to November 1972, which was our last visit to the island before the 1973 eruption. The flora of Motmot has grown rapidly from one species of mature higher plant in 1969 to fourteen species in 1972. Sedges of the genus Cyperus were by far the most successful plant colonists. From the distribution and composition of the flora it appears likely that most of the plants originated from seeds carried to the island by Black Ducks ( Anas superciliosa Gmelin). The invertebrates which had succeeded in colonizing Motmot by 1972 can be roughly grouped as (1) a strand fauna of small beetles, ants and bugs dependent, either directly or indirectly, on the input of organic material from off-island; (2) ants, which were established in fair-sized colonies among vegetation around the crater pond; (3) earwigs and lycosid spiders which by 1972 were found in almost all parts of the island; and (4) staphylinids and collembolans found beneath a hardened algal crust on the margins of the crater pond. The lycosids were present in 1969 while the other organisms appeared in later years. Black Ducks have been nesting on the island since 1969 while swallows ( Hirundo tahitica Gmelin) were first noted nesting there in 1971. The series of eruptions in 1973 killed most of the plant community, but had relatively little effect on the invertebrate fauna.Publication Embargo Life among the ashes(The Australian Museum, 1977) Ball, EldonPublication Embargo Long Island, Papua New Guinea: People, resources and culture(The Australian Museum, 1982) Ball, Eldon E.; Hughes, I. M.Long Island provides, in microcosm and on a compressed time scale, an example of the sort of interaction between humans and their environment common to many Pacific islands. The current period of human occupancy of Long Island began sometime during the nineteenth century but until World War 11 the island remained isolated and population growth remained low. Since that time population growth has accelerated, contacts with the outside world have increased and the islanders are now beginning to enter a cash economy. The effects of these processes on the human society and its interactions with the environment are summarized. Major areas covered include human settlement and population growth, aspects of social organisation, wild resources and their use, outside influences affecting island society, the current status of the Long Island economy and possible future development options.Publication Embargo Long Island, Papua New Guinea: European exploration and recorded contracts to the end of the Pacific War(The Australian Museum, 1982) Ball, Eldon E.William Dampier sailed past and named Long Island in 1700. His description of the island as green and well-vegetated indicates that the last major eruption of Long Island did not occur in the period 1670–1700. Dumont D'Urville sailed past in 1827 and from his description and those of others who came after him it appears that the eruption must have occurred before 1670 or in the interval 1700–1800. Dampier in 1700 described a boat coming off from the shore of Crown Island and the Morrells in 1830 describe people and huts on the shore of Long Island, but the first reliable description of villages and the first contact with the people date from the visits of Finsch in 1884–5. Thereafter periodic brief contacts continued, at irregular intervals, up to the 1930's. Members of the German Sl1dsee Expedition visited the village of Soraga in 1909 and collected names which provide a useful fixed point in the genealogies of the islanders. During the 1930's the ornithologist, William Coultas, spent several months on the island and there were periodic visits by Europeans interested in starting coconut plantations. World War II brought the islanders their most extensive contacts with the outside world as the island was first visited by a few small parties of Japanese and then in late 1943 it was occupied by an Allied force.Publication Open Access Annotated bibliography of references relating to Long Island, Papua New Guinea(The Australian Museum, 1982) Ball, Eldon E.This bibliography is an attempt to include all works published before 1900 which mention Long Island, as well as later studies, up to 1979, which make a significant contribution to our knowledge. Unpublished documents have proved important sources of information, and I have included those which I have seen. No doubt there are others which have been omitted. I have cited relevant newspaper articles that I knew of but there has been no systematic examination of newspapers. Citations are as given in library cataloguing systems. For each entry a summary is given of information relating to Long Island. German language entries have been translated with the help of V.B. Meyer-Rochow and G. Stange.Publication Embargo Long Island, Papua New Guinea: Introduction(The Australian Museum, 1982) Specht, Jim; Ball, Eldon E.; Blong, R. J.; Egloff, B. J.; Hughes, Ian M.; McKee, C. O.; Pain, C. FLong Island, in the Madang Province of Papua New Guinea, forms part of the Bismarck Volcanic Arc. Most life on the island was apparently destroyed in a catastrophic eruption during the 17th or early 18th century, and the island has subsequently been recolonized by plants, animals and humans. The human population of the island is still small enough to make possible significant studies of the relation between the expanding human population and the environment. In addition, creation in 1968 of a volcanic island in the large freshwater lake filling the central caldera of the island has allowed observation of a colonization process essentially from the start. Between 1969 and 1978 the authors were engaged on research into various aspects of the island's eruptive and human history. This paper provides a general introduction to these studies which are more fully described in the following papers. Long Island, known as Pono to its inhabitants and as Arop or Ahrup to people on the New Guinea mainland, lies about 130 km east of Madang and 65 km north-east from Saidor in the Madang Province of Papua New Guinea (Fig. 1). The island is part of the Bismarck Volcanic Arc, a series of Quaternary volcanic centres running from the Schouten Islands in the west to Rabaul on New Britain in the east. Some 900 people speaking an Austronesian language inhabit the island, most of them in the five main settlements of Bok, Kaut, Malala, Poin Kiau and Matapun.Item Embargo Effective Equality in Human Rights in Culturally Diverse Societies: Guidelines Adopted by the Committee of Ministers and Compilation of Council of Europe Standards(Council of Europe, 2018) Gozdecka, DorotaItem Embargo Use of the ADF in emergencies: Legal liability and indemnity issues(Australian Lawyers Alliance, 2021) Eburn, MichaelThis article reviews the issue of legal liability during the response to and recovery from disasters.
