Donning a crimson academic gown and planting a mortar board on his famously wild mane, the UWA graduate chatted with Vice- Chancellor Paul Johnson and Chancellor Dr Michael Chaney before delivering what must be one of the stand-out Occasional Addresses to be heard in historic Winthrop Hall.

The lyricist, comedian, actor and writer, who has been described as “sublimely talent, witty, smart and unabashedly offensive”, made time in a busy schedule to join 225 graduates receiving degrees in this Centenary Year celebration. With his smash-hit Matilda receiving a record seven Olivier Awards, Tim is now working on a musical feature film for DreamWorks Animation. He previously teamed up with fellow graduate, artist and film-maker Shaun Tan, to narrate The Lost Thing, which won the 2011 Oscar for best animated short film.

His wise words on the challenges and pleasures of fathering have resulted in a series of best-selling books: Daughters and their Dads, Fathering from the Fast Lane and The Blue Book of Tips for Fathers and Father-Figures. And it was this work as a lecturer in parenting over 20 years – at schools, workplaces and community groups – that saw him named Western Australian of the Year earlier this year. He also won the Business and Professions Award. These accolades join an Order of Australia in recognition of Professor Robinson’s significant service to medicine and the community, awarded earlier this year. The School of Medicine and Pharmacology researcher co-leads a team that has made many discoveries, including the first blood test for mesothelioma. His team has also conducted many world-first treatments, including Australia’s first cancer gene therapy trial. As Director of the National Centre for Asbestos-related Diseases, the UWA graduate pioneered the world’s first effective chemotherapy treatment for mesothelioma. At the same award ceremony, UWA graduate Michael Sheldrick became the WA Young Australian of the Year for his anti-poverty campaigning. You can read about his activism (nurtured on campus) that today takes him around the world. (see Global activist Professor Bruce Robinson at the Celebrate WA award ceremony tackles global poverty).

  • The John Curtin School of Medical Research
    The John Curtin School of Medical Research From the Director This year marks 60 years since the foundation of The John Curtin School of Medical Research (JCSMR) as part of The Australian National University (ANU) in 1948. JCSMR is the result of the vision of Australian Nobel Laureate Sir Howard Florey and war-time Prime Minister John Curtin. Florey foresaw a national medical research school where scientists would carry out superlative research in fundamental areas, and our staff and students continue to strive towards this goal. A major strength of our research programs lies in their strong cross-disciplinary interactions. We currently have strong programs in genomics and epigenomics, immunology, protein structure and function and cell signalling, virology and neuroscience. This research aims to understand and provide novel insights into diseases such as cancer, diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis, and conditions such as epilepsy and vision impairment, amongst others. Our research staff continue to perform at the highest level nationally and internationally. This report highlights some of our recent research findings that will have impact on human health. Many of our staff and students have received recognition for their contributions through prizes and awards. As an integral part of the ANU College of Medicine, Biology and Environment, we are committed to cross-disciplinary research that will provide solutions to health problems which beset our community, and we continue to pride ourselves on our commitment to the training and mentoring of the young medical researchers of the future. Professor Frances Shannon Director JCSMR The John Curtin School of Medical Research Annual Review 2008 1 Table of Contents Introduction to The John Curtin School of Medical Research From the Director.

  • Negligence Claims by Subsequent Building Owners: Did the Life of Bryan End Too Soon?
    Advance Copy NEGLIGENCE CLAIMS BY SUBSEQUENT BUILDING OWNERS: DID THE LIFE OF BRYAN END TOO SOON? M ATTHEW BELL* AND WAYNE JOCIC† The 2014 High Court of Australia case Brookfield Multiplex Ltd v Owners Corporation Strata Plan No 61288 gave insights into the narrowed field within which a duty of care in negligence to prevent pure economic loss will be found. As recent cases and commentary have recognised, however, the Court’s approach is by no means unproblematic in its underlying assumptions and application. We argue, in particular, that the legislative scheme in existence across Australia is at present more a ‘patchwork quilt’ than ‘security blanket’ for vulnerable owners of residential properties. Thus, the common law's retreat from the field of liability is, we argue, premature.

  • Raymond Bernard Strauss
    1 Ray Strauss (Mirror, 16 January 1954, p.16; UWA Hockey Club Facebook) Raymond Bernard Strauss (1927-2013) was born 4 November 1927 at Newcastle Street in Perth, to parents Diderick (Eric) Henry and Muriel Georgina (nee Atkins) Strauss, who had married in 1919 at St Oswald's Anglican Church, Meekatharra. Their first son Eric Charles was born in 1919. The family moved to Perth where Eric senior initially started a blacksmith and coach building business at Subiaco. Ray attended primary school at North Perth, and then Perth Modern School during the Second World War (1939-1945). As an eighteen year old, Ray elected to enrol in the very first year of the newly- founded five year architecture course at Perth Technical College (PTC) in 1946. Prior to the Second World War, architectural students who did not receive academic training overseas or in other States, had been obliged to train in WA under a system of indenture to individual architects. The products of this system of architectural education were trained rather than educated and clearly bore the marks of the architect who trained them. During the war it could be foreseen that great demands would be placed on the building industry when peace eventuated, and in 1946 William (Bill) Robertson (with Arnold Camerer) inaugurated the first academic architectural course at PTC. Robertson had attended meetings of the Modern Architectural Research Society (MARS) in Sydney in the early 1940s, and through him the society's philosophies had an obvious influence on the nature of the course at PTC. The war had made housing a major consideration, and a practical objective of industrialization for the Modern Movement.
