Valuing the economic benefits of species recovery programmes
Accounting for the values placed on nature by the public is key to successful policies in reversing ongoing biodiversity declines. However, biodiversity values are rarely included in policy decisions, resulting in poorer outcomes for people and nature. Our paper addresses an important evidence gap related to the non‐availability of values for appraising large‐scale policies and investment programmes for species recovery and habitat improvement at…
Benefit of woodland and other natural environments for adolescents’ cognition and mental health
Zoonotic host diversity increases in human-dominated ecosystems
Mapping synergies and trade-offs between urban ecosystems and the sustainable development goals
The Cerberus from Warringah
In 1932 the Lyons UAP government suspended the operations of the Commonwealth parliament's public accounts committee, allegedly as an economy measure. The role of public accounts committees is, in principle, that of a non‐partisan reviewer of the public finances, but in this case the committee had diverged from its charter and become involved in politics and policy. Twenty years later, the Menzies government resurrected the committee. A crucial f…
Rebuilding Communities After Natural Disasters
Through nonrandom purposive sampling, this article examines the ways three Catholic agencies offered bushfire recovery assistance after the 2009 bushfires in the Australian state of Victoria. Participants from Catholic welfare agencies (29), local and state government (8), international recovery agencies (2), and others such as clergy, church, and medical (6) were selected, and senior managers, middle managers, and workers on the ground were inte…
Looking for Sustainability in Not‐for‐Profit Program Delivery
This article examines an experiment in delivering services and programs in communities that were affected by the 2009 Victorian bushfires. Three not‐for‐profit agencies received funding to develop and deliver programs over a period of three years with the aim of achieving sustainability for the programs thus created. They were not constrained by the requirements of normal government funding, which is short term, subject to competitive tendering a…
Impacts of biodiversity on the emergence and transmission of infectious diseases
Re-positioning as a response to government higher education policy development – an Australian case study
Australian Catholic University (ACU) has had a long-standing commitment to social justice and to engaging with the rest of the community, arising from its Catholic intellectual tradition and its creation from Catholic teaching institutions. As a university created in 1991 as part of a radical re-structure of Australian higher education, ACU has also been very responsive to government policy higher education policy. Recently, in the environment of…
PanTHERIA: a species‐level database of life history, ecology, and geography of extant and recently extinct mammals
Analyses of life‐history, ecological, and geographic trait differences among species, their causes, correlates, and likely consequences are increasingly important for understanding and conserving biodiversity in the face of rapid global change. Assembling multispecies trait data from diverse literature sources into a single comprehensive data set requires detailed consideration of methods to reliably compile data for particular species, and to de…
Public Accounts Committees, New Public Management, and Institutionalism
The rise of New Public Management is often seen as undermining traditional systems of parliamentary financial oversight. One of the most prevalent of such systems is the public accounts committee, found in most Westminster parliamentary systems. We examine the experience of such a committee, the Public Accounts and Estimates Committee in the State of Victoria, Australia, at a time when a reforming state government implemented wide‐ranging reforms…
Bad behaviour’ in the House and beyond
Activities that remain uncriticized when practised by members of the general population are often regarded as ‘bad behaviour’ in the case of politicians. This article delineates the types of ‘bad behaviour’ identified and criticized by both the general population and the media in Australia. The article discusses examples from recent Australian political history, also demonstrating continuities with past parliamentary experiences and public attitu…
Global trends in emerging infectious diseases
Professional Politicians as the Subjects of Moral Panic
The media, the public and politicians themselves often express a fear that Australian political life is increasingly dominated by 'professional politicians', who are seen as careerist, lacking in commitment and disconnected from the reality of ordinary lives. The article analyses the meanings given to the term 'professional politicians' and their relationship to other definitions and characteristics of professionalism. It also uses the concept of…
Daring and Discretion
Members of Australia's Commonwealth parliament have been paid since its creation in 1901. The ‘parliamentary allowance’ had been discussed during the protracted discussions leading to Federation and was established by the Constitution, but the administrative and legislative mechanisms that governed it were left to later generations of politicians to determine. As a result, successive Australian governments and parliaments have sought a way to rem…
The Lovable, the Loathsome, and the Liminal
In this paper we demonstrate the interrelationship between emotional meaning and ethnozoological cognition in American culture. Data were obtained from 101 undergraduates who freelisted the names of the animals they like as well as the names of those they dislike. Respondents also rated the five ethnozoological life forms (birds, snakes, fish, mammals, and “wugs”) according to personal preference. We found a significant correlation between the ev…
One Step at a Time
The concept of professionalism in the context of parliaments can refer either to the parliamentarian himself or herself, as a person dedicated to a political career, or to the parliamentarian’s working conditions and environment. This article takes one aspect of working conditions and environment, the provision of personal staff to members of Australia’s Commonwealth Parliament, and relates it to the transformation of politicians from amateurs to…

Socioecology and the evolution of primate reproductive rates
Introduction A thought experiment: take two animals, one male and one female. Provide their offspring with unlimited food and allow them to breed. If animals die only of old age, how many animals will you have after 2 years, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years or 50 years? Figure 4.1 shows the results of this experiment using the intrinsic rate of population increase ( r m , see Table 4.1, p. 80, for a definition) for six primate species. It is clear fro…
