The Professionalization of Children's Services in Australia
This article examines the concept and practice of the 'professionalization' of children's services in Australia, emphasizing the importance of gender, skills and regulation. Children's services practitioners have difficulty in reaching professional status - broadly defined. Tertiary-level training and credentials alone are insufficient as the expertise of the work in centre-based services is not 'socially sanctioned'. The coexistence of family da…
Regulated autonomy or autonomous regulation? Collective bargaining and academic workloads in Australian universities
The recommendations of the 'Bradley Review' of higher education in Australia identified a clear need for examination of the academic labour market and the limited attractiveness of academia as a profession. Reasons for the lack of attractiveness include increased academic workloads, as evidenced by larger class sizes and staff–student ratios. This article examines the relevant academic workload clauses from collective bargaining agreements, opera…
Defence, the Family and the Battler: The Democratic Labor Party and its Legacy∗
The split in the Australian Labor Party (ALP) of the mid-1950s had a lasting impact on both the political and industrial wings of the labour movement. In electoral terms the creation of the Democratic Labor Party (DLP), and the DLP's second-preference strategy, in particular, had adverse consequences for the ALP. This article re-examines the DLP in terms as a political party, a promotional pressure group and as part of a social movement. The arti…

Cultural care and Indian elders: Hindu spiritual life in the Ashram
In contemporary India, the shift from extended to nuclear families has reduced support systems for elderly parents. Despite cultural values emphasizing elder care, families struggle to meet their needs, increasing the importance of ashrams. This paper examines the growing concerns of aging and the solutions offered by ashrams, focusing on the spiritual experiences and meaning of life for Indian elders within two ashrams. The study highlights the …
New Public Management and ‘Photocopy’ Bargaining in the Australian Public Service
The industrial relations policy of the Federal Coalition Government is to encourage industrial bargaining to occur at the enterprise or individual level, free from ‘outside’ influences. While it encourages devolved bargaining at the agency and individual level within the Public Service (Australian Public Service) this policy creates tensions with its role as a centralized policy maker, economic manager and employer of the APS workforce. It also c…

Sexual Orientation and Suicidality: A Co-twin Control Study in Adult Men
BACKGROUND: Several recent studies have found a higher lifetime prevalence of suicide attempts in homosexual males compared with heterosexual control subjects or population rates. These studies used either convenience samples, most without controls, or population-based samples in which confounding factors such as depression and substance abuse were not measured. METHODS: This study used twins from the population-based Vietnam Era Twin Registry, H…
Presidential Character Revisited
This study attempts to bring a fresh perspective to the study of presidential personality. Critics of the personality approach doubt that personality really has much impact on presidential leadership, and they question whether the approach will contribute to the development of a presidential leadership theory. Critics also see problems with the conceptualization of personality variables in particular studies, such as James David Barber's much-pra…
A key informant needs assessment of an adult population: Application to consultation and prevention programs
Sixty-three key informants first identified the four most important problems confronting adults between the ages of 30 and 40 years and then responded to a series of open-ended questions in relation to the two most important problems identified. Respondents then rated a list of life events and problem areas as to their seriousness and prevalence and identified those they viewed as most important. Respondent-generated problems, in order of importa…
