Impact of regulatory and other changes on Australian unions’ strategies and campaigns, 2023–2024
This article reviews the challenges and opportunities facing Australian trade unions in 2023–2024. It covers industry challenges for specific unions and the changes introduced by the Federal Labor Government through its Closing the Loopholes Amendments to the Fair Work Act. It argues that the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) and individual unions need to take the opportunity provided by the Federal Government's legal changes to make gain…
Benchmarking government
Robust indicators and measures for outputs and outcomes against agreed objectives are the holy grail of performance reporting. Transparent performance reporting can be a means to improving accountability to taxpayers for public funds and responsiveness to users. The Report on Government Services (RoGS) for the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) is widely seen as ‘an exemplar of benchmarking in a federal system.’ Twenty‐five years on, RoGS h…
Dignity during work-integrated learning
Work-integrated learning (WIL) is increasingly common in higher education, with benefits and risks for students and supervisors’ wellbeing. Central to wellbeing is dignity, often described as the respectful treatment of others. While studies have explored dignity for employees, it is yet to be examined in the WIL context. This qualitative study explores 46 student and 30 supervisors' understandings of WIL dignity. Using purposive sampling, superv…
Power and resistance in feedback during work-integrated learning
While research has started to contest traditional student-supervisor power asymmetries within work-integrated learning, substantial gaps remain about work-integrated learning feedback, power and resistance. This study explores how students and supervisors narrate student power and resistance within work-integrated learning feedback narratives. Ninety-four feedback narratives were collected from 26 higher education students and 25 supervisors from…
Autonomy at work in the gig economy
This paper offers a critical perspective on the debate surrounding autonomy at work for a specific category of non‐standard workers: independent professionals. The increasing numbers now working this way as well as their spread into all sectors, industries and occupations, mean that their work arrangements can no longer be dismissed as non‐standard or atypical. Defining them by what they are not is quite simply no longer an option. Our paper exam…
More of the Same? A Dual Case Study Approach to Examining Change Momentum in the Public Sector
Despite the significant amount of change experienced by the public sector, there has been relatively limited empirical examination of how change agendas affect public sector employees in Australia. This article presents a comparative analysis of two Australian public sector organisations that implemented the same positive work change agenda, but experienced very different outcomes. Using a critical realist approach, we draw on a mix of qualitativ…
Temporary Staff, Contractors, and Volunteers
Theories of strategic Human Resource Management (HRM) emphasise the need to understand and effectively manage the workforce, and to align HRM practices with organisational strategy. Local government in Victoria was radically revised in 1993–94 with forced amalgamations, and later the introduction of Best Value Principles. Alongside this have been changes to council workforces. This article explores the composition of these workforces, and seeks t…

The Role of Medicine
In analyzing the factors that have improved health and enhanced longevity during the last three centuries, Thomas McKeown contends that nutritional, environmental, and behavioral changes have been and will be more important than specific medical measures, especially clinical or curative" measures.

Fertility, mortality and causes of death an examination of issues related to the modern rise of population
This paper attempts to remove some sources of misunderstanding of the interpretation of the growth of population outlined in The Modern Rise of Population, particularly the lack of attention given to increased fertility and the emphasis on the importance of nutrition. On the first point, it is shown that whatever assumptions are made about fertility and mortality in the pre-registration period, the reduction of the death rate was undoubtedly the …
Disease, Diet, and History
Within the last two decades there has been a growing awareness of what might be called the biological aspects of history. It is now recognized that disease and diet are valid historical subjects, as worthy of study as the politics, thought, or diplomacy that have been the core of traditional historical scholarship. This new interest in part can be traced to the Annalistes, who for many years have advocated total history: placing human beings with…

An interpretation of the decline of mortality in England and Wales during the twentieth century
National mortality statistics were analysed to assess the contribution made by different causes of death to the decline of mortality between 1901 and 1971. Reduced mortality from infectious diseases accounted for about three-quarters of the decrease. The main influence was considered to be improved nutrition, particularly in the case of airborne infections. Reduced exposure to microorganisms, especially those causing gastro-intestinal disease, al…
An interpretation of the modern rise of population in Europe
This paper has two aims. One is to outline an interpretation of the modern rise of population, based on the experience of England and Wales. This interpretation1 was derived from investigations of population growth in the eighteenth2 and nineteenth centuries3 undertaken, it seems to us in restrospect, in the wrong order. The other aim is to examine the credibility of the interpretation in the light of the different circumstances which existed in …
An International Study of Health Expenditure and its Relevance for Health Planning
The next forty years in public health
In this article an attempt is made to assess the major health problems of the second half of the twentieth century in developed countries, the methods appropriate to these problems, and the pattern of medical services necessary to deal with them. From an examination of mortality and morbidity trends it is suggested that the most important problems are likely to be the mortality, malformation and disability established before birth, mental illness…
The British National Health Service in Perspective
created perfectly on the appointed day. Hence serious criticism is inadmissible, particularly if it would require legislative change. In the second class are those who recognise that the service has imperfections, and consider this a sufficient reason for rejecting the whole concept of public responsibility for health. Both viewpoints arise from a fundamental misconception about the nature of the medical task. The provision of a medical service c…
Reasons for the decline of mortality in england and wales during the nineteenth century
Five diseases or disease groups accounted for almost the whole of the reduction in mortality between 1851–60 and 1891–1900: tuberculosis (all forms), 47.2 per cent; typhus, enteric fever and simple continued fever, 22.9 per cent; scarlet fever, 20.3 per cent; diarrhoea, dysentery and cholera, 8.9 per cent; and smallpox, 6.1 per cent. In order of their relative Importance the Influences responsible for the decline were: (a) a rising standard of li…

Medical Evidence Related to English Population Changes in the Eighteenth Century
In a recent communication1 Professor Habakkuk has raised doubts about the acceptability of the traditional view which attributes the increase in the population of England during the eighteenth century to a fall in the death rate. He is unable to accept Griffith's2 suggestion that medical measures introduced during that century had a substantial effect on the death rate, and considers the statistical evidence that mortality declined unreliable. Th…
