Patriarchy
Patriarchy, particularly as embedded in the Old and New Testaments, and Roman legal precepts, has been a powerful organising concept with which social order has been understood, maintained, enforced, contested, adjudicated and dreamt about for over two millennia of western history. This brief book surveys three influential episodes in this history: seventeenth-century debates about absolutism and democracy, nineteenth-century reconstructions of h…
The age of entitlement has ended’: Designing a disability insurance scheme in turbulent times
In a period of welfare state retrenchment, Australia's neo-liberal government is continuing to implement an expensive National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Australia is among the pioneers of welfare measures funded from general revenue. Until recently, however, attempts to establish national schemes of social insurance have failed. The paper reviews this history through the lenses of path dependence accounts. It then presents contrasting d…
Social policy ‘generosity’ at a time of fiscal austerity: The strange case of Australia’s National Disability Insurance Scheme
In a climate of fiscal austerity, Australia’s neo-liberal government is continuing to fund and implement an expensive National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). This article presents a demographic, funding and policy context for the introduction of the NDIS. Its success, we argue, must be situated in the context of development of a post-industrial workforce, and owes a lot to its embrace of social investment, marketisation of welfare services, …
Antipodean Patrimonialism? Squattocracy, Democracy and Land Rights in Australia
This paper considers whether the term patrimonialism can be applied to one racially bifurcated aspect of Australian history: the relations between ‘squatters’ and those with competing civil and property claims. From the perspective of white settlers, the power of pastoralists who acquired use rights over vast stretches of land in late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries represented a challenge to rural settlement, economic development, the …
Family time economies and democratic division of work
Much has been written about time use and the gender division of labour. There is also a sizeable literature examining teenagers' time use, particularly in relation to what are seen as valuable skills and dispositions. Most of this literature takes individuals rather than families or households as units of analysis. Several recent publications focus on couples with small children. However, we have not been able to find any studies dealing with mor…
Family time economies and democratic division of work
Do Australian Teenagers Work? Why We Should Care
This paper addresses the lack of systematic attention to teenagers' work in feminist economics. Drawing on historical sociology, it suggests why paid or unpaid work by children has been difficult to discuss, define, and measure in contemporary industrialized countries, in part by comparing debates on child workers and "economically inactive" housewives. The paper then asks whether mothers' increasing workforce participation has led to a rise in t…
Teenagers' household and caring work: The relevance of 'secondary activities' in Australian time use surveys
Time use studies are routinely used to comment on the distribution of labour between adults. More recently considerations of concurrent (or secondary) activities have been used to highlight the full social extent of childcare, and to show that mothers work disproportionately long hours. This paper addresses a blind spot in such studies: the domestic usefulness – or otherwise – of teenage children. It examines how measurements of secondary activit…
Demography and gender regimes: The case of Italians and ethnic traditions
Inventing Mastery: Patriarchal Precedents and the Legal Status of Indigenous People in Australia
The paper discusses some aspects of Aboriginal legal status in Australia from the perspective of survival, transformation and reinvention of early modern legal codifications of household mastery. Traces of masters' and husbands' entitlement to the labour of servants, children and wives, as well as their magistracy over household dependents, not only survive in today's laws and social relations; at times, they have been reinvented in a process whi…

Clean, Clad, and Courteous: A History of Aboriginal Education in New South Wales
A "One Best System" in New Zealand
The publication of Roy Shuker's The One Best System? has stimulated debate concerning revisionist interpretations of the history of New Zealand schools.' The essays below help to introduce our readers to these controversies, which concern both methodological and ideological issues in the study of history of education. Three prominent historians offer their criticisms of this important volume, and Shuker provides a detailed response and reflection…
