Public Interest Litigation
Public interest litigation: making the case in Australia 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 …
Counter-terrorism and information
This paper investigates Australia's National Security Information (Criminal and Civil Proceedings) Act 2004 (Cth) (NSI Act) focusing on its provisions for protecting national security information.

Liberty, National Security and the Big Society
The aim of this paper is to place discussion of the Big Society (via the specific issue of counterterrorism) in an international context, by drawing comparisons between counter-terrorism policy in the UK and Australia. The Big Society agenda of the UK Coalition Government has had a significant impact on welfare policy as well as the terms of the debate about how it should be provided for and regulated.

Critics of the legislation have deep concerns that, by giving the police and intelligence services considerable new powers in the areas of arbitrary arrest and detention, it will lead to the significant erosion of rights and freedoms that Australians have long been able to take for granted. O…

Community legal centres in Australia under a new public management regime
During the 1990s and into the new millennium the public sector in Australia has gone through a process of so‐called modernisation. This has been underpinned by the New Public Management (NPM), and the financial, regulatory and administrative reforms it encompasses. An assumption that the public and private sectors are not inherently dissimilar, and can therefore be managed in much the same way including having their efficiency and effectiveness m…

Opening the Closed World of the Cold War and American Nuclear Strategy
It is argued in this paper that the closed world of computer simulations and nuclear games which Edwards describes is an imaginary place. Indeed, Edwards' closed world is a caricature of the real world of Cold War and American nuclear strategy. His account of the imaginary world and its development draws on and perpetuates the folklore of Cold War and American nuclear strategy. The folklore, which fails to acknowledge the frightening realities of…
