Managing the work-life roller-coaster
More spray on solution
The role for government in generating social capital is to create the opportunities for individuals to establish relationships and shared values; that is, to facilitate the creation of networks. The site for network creation is the local community, and community strengthening is the means to do so
The big picture
For at least the last three decades, Australia has been experiencing profound economic and social changes which, it is argued, have resulted in a widening gap in health opportunities and outcomes between urban and rural areas. There are important health policy implications associated with these socio-cultural and demographic changes, and they are particularly relevant to women, who are greater users of the health care system, both as patients and…
Turning Public Issues Into Private Troubles
Residents living in the vicinity of lead smelters are subjected to particularly high levels of contamination from the toxic process of smelting. Yet, public health strategies currently promoted by state health authorities in Australia do not focus their major attention on stopping the contamination at its source. This article focuses on housecleaning regimes, largely implemented by women, aimed at stopping the toxic material from being ingested b…

Women's Health Australia
The Women's Health Australia (WHA) project is a longitudinal study of several cohorts of Australian women, which aims to examine the relationships between biological, psychological, social and lifestyle factors and women's physical health, emotional well-being, and their use of and satisfaction with health care. Using the Medicare database as a sampling frame (with oversampling of women from rural and remote areas), 106,000 women in the three age…
Economic restructuring and state intervention in Holdenist suburbia
From the mid-1940s to the mid-1960s a particular conjuncture of capital-state relations formed in Australia, leading to the development of a distinctive urban form -'Holdenist suburbia': built by government; of a large scale and uniform appearance; constructed of poor quality, cheap materials; home to relatively high percentages of public renters; comprised of predominantly working-class families; adjacent to manufacturing employment; and stigmat…

Directions and developments in the Australian welfare state
Changes which the Australian welfare state has been undergoing over recent decades have far-reaching implications for educators and practitioners within the welfare field. Understanding the nature of the changes is crucial because the welfare state is the context in which practice occurs. Tensions arise because the direction of change is largely conservatising while practice officially espouses the goal of promoting social justice. In these circu…
Welfare and the State

Comment on Fraser II
Women and Management in the Public Sector
Although welcome gains have been made towards greater equity for women in the public service in recent years, many issues have yet to be tackled adequately. The paper is essentially concerned with the problems which arise because EEO programs have been couched in managerial terms, as part of the recent management reform and improvement programs within the public sector. This technocratic approach is very masculine in style and largely requires as…
Sport and the maintenance of masculine hegemony
Who cares? Social security, family policy and women
Women Really Care
Pressures to contain or reduce public expenditure are giving rise to policies geared to reduce the demand for direct state services. These involve alternative programs featuring the transfer of responsibilities, but not necessarily control, to more local, private, and family bases. Such trends depend upon the availability of the apparently cheap labour of women. Community care generally means care by females, but this fact is usually unacknowledg…
Community’
Community is one of those ‘motherhood’ words with great potential for mystification of social issues. This paper examines the way the term has evolved and is currently used in Australia. Special attention is given to the contradiction between the claims to radicalism of much community work and the system preserving effect the term actually lends to programs. To illuminate the process under consideration alternative approaches are briefly consider…
Abuses and Uses of Evaluation
In its recent report entitled Through a Glass Darkly , the Senate Standing Committee on Social Welfare claims that there is insufficient evidence available to evaluate welfare services, yet even within a brief paper this can be demonstrated to be not so. The Senate Committee however chose to ignore information about services as such, in order to discuss the process of evaluation. The apparent shortcomings of current services and the way the commi…
