How environmental storylines shaped regional planning policies in South East Queensland, Australia: A long-term analysis
Reimagining Equity and Egalitarianism: The Basic Income Debate in Australia
Reimagining equity and egalitarianism calls for rethinking traditional welfare responses to poverty and economic security in Australia. Similar to other advanced Western democracies, Australia has pursued policies underpinned by neoliberal economics in an effort to curtail perceived excesses in public expenditure over the past three decades. In response to these policy settings, commentators and policy activists have increased their attention to …
Enhancing the social dimension of development: Interconnecting the Capability Approach and applied knowledge of social workers
The current interest in sustainability within international development presents an important opportunity for social work to further promote the often-overlooked social pillar of sustainable development. The dominant paradigm regarding economic systems of development and organisation has influenced not only the scope of sustainable development, but also an increasingly depoliticised vision of social work knowledge and practice. Inattention to str…
In a perfect world it would be great if they didn't exist’: How A ustralians experience payday loans
In the last few decades, payday lending has mushroomed in many developed countries. The arguments for and against an industry which provides small, short‐term loans at very high interest rates have also blossomed.

At the heart of this debate lies a conundrum: Borrowing from pa…
Queensland's Budget Austerity and Its Impact on Social Welfare: Is the Cure Worse than the Disease

This paper examines the case of Queensland, Australia, where the government has pursued austerity measures, while making dire warnings that unless public debt was slashed and the public service sector downsized, Queensland risked becoming the Spain of Australia. The compariso…
Work and the Welfare State: Street-Level Organizations and Workfare Politics
Work and the Welfare State places street-level organizations at the analytic center of welfare state politics, policy and management. This volume offers a critical examination of efforts to change the welfare state to a workfare state by looking at on-the-ground issues in six countries: the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands.
Exploring the role of fringe lenders in the lives of Queenslanders
The fringe lending sector in Australia has experienced considerable growth over the last decade. However, very little is known about the profile of the typical borrower or the typical lender – though much is assumed about the morality and motivation of both. Drawing upon findings from a pilot study conducted in Queensland during 2008–2009, we discuss the changing landscape of fringe lending in Australia before exploring how borrowers and lenders …
