Communicating with deaf and hard of hearing individuals in urgent care
Deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) individuals continue to experience inequitable access to healthcare despite federal mandates ensuring communication accessibility. Communication barriers between healthcare providers and DHH patients contribute to misunderstandings, undermining quality of care and increasing risk of adverse health outcomes. In the urgent care setting, where time-sensitive decision-making is critical, limited access to communication …
A synthesis of distributed energy resource impacts and regulatory responses with a focus on soft law
The Austin School Manifesto
Purposeful Nation-Building
This article considers how Australian photography from the late 1930s to the early 1950s encouraged public engagement with the aims and policies of post-war reconstruction. It examines how the nation’s first photo-magazine, Pix, covered the build up to and early months of the war and emphasised its reach into the domestic sphere. It examines photography’s role in making housing a core social and political issue, considers Australia’s efforts to h…
Regimes of truth
This paper examines the policies and directions framing the professional practice of Australian combat photographers in the Second World War. It argues that while their endeavours to offer an account of the nation at war were constrained by predictable considerations of politics and censorship, their commitment to truth was also framed and constricted by an array of cultural considerations. The nation’s ongoing engagement with the history of the …

This article seeks to understand what Australian Defence Force (ADF) junior ranks think about the Australian media’s coverage of defence issues and ADF operations. Through the analysis of original survey data, it considers how patterns of media use and the opinions of superiors, family and friends influence their views. This article compares these data with the findings from an earlier survey, which used the same survey instrument to examine what…
Developing and testing the Urban Sustainable Development Goal’s targets and indicators – a five-city study
The campaign for the inclusion of a specifically urban goal within the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) was challenging. Numerous divergent interests were involved, while urban areas worldwide are also extremely heterogeneous. It was essential to minimize the number of targets and indicators while still capturing critical urban dimensions relevant to human development. It was also essential to test the targets and indicators. …

Familiarity Breeds Contempt? What the Australian Defence Force Thinks of its Coverage in the Australian Media, and Why
This article offers the first empirical study of the origins, nature and effects of Australian Defence Force (ADF) opinions about the Australian media's coverage of Defence issues and ADF operations. It summarises the history of fractious military–media relations in Australia, and looks at the principal contributors to the current antipathy between the parties. It argues that while the media routinely denounce the military's motivations in its de…
Shadows of Vietnam
This paper contrasts Australian and US military responses to the media coverage of the war in Vietnam. It examines the “oppositional media thesis”, considers how this shaped subsequent US military-media relations, and examines the experiences leading to the review and reform of the military's official position in relation to the media. The paper then compares the US experience with that of the Australian military, examining the factors shaping Au…
Confronting Genocide
Adventure fiction was widely employed by British writers during the nineteenth century to address serious questions of politics and morality, particularly those arising from the nation's imperial responsibilities. The nineteenth-century adventure tales that argued for or justified the extension of empire were, in Martin Green's well-worn phrase, 'the energising myth of English imperialism. They were, collectively, the story England told itself as…

This article examines the roles and functions of narratives in the conduct and prosecution of the Falklands War. It looks at how, and with what degree of success the Falklands conflict was emplotted into potent definitions of national identity; how it was constructed as the embodiment of certain cherished ideals of nationhood, and thus slotted into what Patrick Wright calls the 'mythical Histories' of Britain and Argentina. It considers how the l…
