Exploring Teachers’ Early-Retirement Decisions
Studies on teachers suggest that high workloads, stress, and the work environment contribute to long-experience teachers leaving the profession. Early-retirement differs from early leaving because, typically, it is preceded by individuals evaluating a myriad of work-related, personal, and life factors that lead to them exiting the workforce altogether. A body of literature suggests that the spread of New Public Management (NPM) in school manageme…
A Rhetoric of Change
Understanding how public political discourse acts or does not act as a persuasive force in promoting and justifying political policy remains of critical importance. This paper presents a rhetorical criticism of the public political language used by the then Prime Minister John Howard and Minister Kevin Andrews, the chief spokespersons for the introduction of the Work Choices legislation. We demonstrate that these speakers drew upon a metaphor of …

Public policy relating to the labour market has undergone significant change over recent years. These changes reflect demands for greater flexibility in the labour market, and respond to pressures of growing levels of unemployment and consequent exacerbation of divisions within the labour market. A conflict is apparent, however, in the mix of policies adopted. Accompanying moves towards a more ‘active’ style labour market policy has been a trend …
