Nuts'a'maat shqwaluwun — Knitting ways of life with Indigenous research principles to examine preterm birth in Quw'utsun
Indigenous Peoples have an inherent and legislated right to self-determination, including the right to lead research involving them. Several principles within Nuts'a'maat shqwaluwun enabled Quw'utsun people to lead this research: (1) trusting relationships; (2) respecting community-specific ways of life; (3) community ownership and access to data; and (4) training opportunities to lead research
They’d Go Out of Their Way to Cover Up for You’
Contrary to contemporary popular perceptions that mateship is a universal Australian characteristic, this phenomenon was historically contingent and both class and location specific: a working-class manifestation fostered by male workplaces. Drawing largely on oral testimony from past and present employees of the Rockhampton Railway Workshops from the 1940s to the late-1980s, this article examines a ‘mateship site’ created by the demographic, ind…
Nature, Progress and the 'Disorderly' Fitzroy
In the nineteenth century, engineers deformed and reshaped the natural environment in the name of progress, particularly in new settler societies like Australia. This article focuses on attempts, some experimental but all ultimately unsuccessful, to render Queensland's Fitzroy River suitable for large-scale shipping by constructing 'training' walls and dredging intensively. In addition to examining the motivations for these efforts and their envi…
A 'Cosy Relationship' If You Had It
Critics of the progressive decline in membership in Australian unions attribute the predicament to a failure to develop independent organising strategies during decades of passive over-reliance on preference clauses under a compulsory industrial arbitration system. To test the historical validity of these accusations, this article examines six major unions in Rockhampton during 40 years under a state Labor arbitration system. Using a broad defini…

The Area Analysis of Resources
There has been increasing interest in this country in variations in expenditures between different local authorities among political scientists, social administrators, economists, and others, as there has been elsewhere. All these and other studies are distinguished by their concentration upon variations in expenditure between local authorities. The local authority has been treated as the basic unit. There has been no parallel development in stud…
