Why do people join the community legal sector? Reflections on praxis
The Victorian Federation of Community Legal Centres (FCLC) commissioned research to work out why people join the Victorian community legal sector. A focus group was conducted, data was collected, and this article reflects the findings. We explore how the language and concepts the participants shared in their responses connect to significant principles and theories of community legal action (a praxis)
The death of Veronica Nelson: Reconsidering the criminalisation of opiate use
This article considers the preventable death of Veronica Nelson, an Aboriginal woman who had been denied bail and then suffered a terrible death in custody, which was the subject of recent bail reforms and a Coroner's Report that has recommended sweeping reforms to the management of people in custody. This article considers a reform that the Coroner and the Parliament did not, removing the criminal prohibition on opiate use
How section 90 of the Constitution makes cannabis law reform less likely in Australia
Cannabis law reform is unlikely in Australia because section 90 of the Constitution gives the exclusive power to tax goods to the Commonwealth, yet it is the states and territories that have the power to decriminalise use. What incentive does a state have to decriminalise cannabis if they cannot tax it? This article summarises the High Court’s s 90 jurisprudence. It also briefly explores the question of whether the states or territories could imp…
Ethical Considerations in Using Social Media to Engage Research Participants: Perspectives of Australian Researchers and Ethics Committee Members
Researchers increasingly use social media (SM) to recruit, retain, and trace participants, yet empirical literature investigating the ethics of engaging participants via SM is lacking. We conducted a survey of 401 Australian researchers and human research ethics committee (HREC) members to examine their experience, attitudes, and ethical concerns toward engaging participants via SM. Data revealed that researchers and HREC members share similar co…
Rudy Frugtniet v Asic: Things to consider if Victoria introduces a spent convictions regime (with ‘A Message to You, Rudy’)
The Legal and Social Issues Committee of the Victorian parliament will soon publish a report on spent convictions and criminal record discrimination. Victoria is the only state in Australia that does not have a spent convictions scheme. The purpose of this article is to review the recent decision of the High Court in Frugtniet v ASIC, a decision about the federal spent convictions scheme, and outline the lessons that decision provides for Victori…
It’s not black and white”: Public health researchers’ and ethics committees’ perceptions of engaging research participants online

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the key ethical issues of using the internet to recruit, retain…
The Removal of Convicted Noncitizens from Australia: Is There Only a ‘Minimal and Remote’ Chance of Getting it Right
[Extract] On 22 December 2014 the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection (the Minister) issued Direction 65 to supplement section 501 of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth). This regime enables the Minister or a delegate to cancel a visa held by a noncitizen convicted of an offence on the basis that they have failed a ‘character test’. Ordinarily a person will fail the character test if they have a ‘substantial criminal record’, defined as a cri…
The Preventive Detention of “Dangerous” Sex Offenders in Australia: Perspectives at the Coalface
Four Australian states, Queensland, New South Wales, Western Australia and Victoria as well as the Northern Territory have enacted laws that enable the continued detention in prison of “dangerous” sex offenders beyond the completion of their sentence. This has proved to be a popular response from a political and social policy perspective, with the New South Wales government recently extending its scheme to include serious violent offenders. While…

Reintegrating Sex Offenders into the Community: Queensland's Proposed Reforms
In June 2003 the Queensland Parliament enacted the Dangerous Prisoners (Sexual Offenders) Act (DPSOA).
