BIRTHS, DEATHS AND MARRIAGES REGISTRATION AMENDMENT (CHANGE OF SEX) BILL 2014 Bill introduced, and read a first time and ordered to be printed on motion by Dr Mehreen Faruqi. Second Reading Dr MEHREEN FARUQI [9.46 a.m.]: I move: That this bill be now read a second time. The "unmarried" requirement within the Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Act 1995 forces married people who have undergone a sex affirmation procedure who are wishing to have their sex registered or to alter a record of their sex, to choose between divorcing their partner or living with an incorrect sex on their most important personal identity document—their birth certificate. The provision primarily affects married transgender people who have undergone procedures to change their sex to align with their gender identity. It also further adds to the societal stigmatisation experienced by trans people and unnecessarily complicates the already enormous and often traumatic process of transition from one sex to another. The Greens bill would allow the continuation of a person's marriage during and after applying to alter the record of their sex or register a change of sex, and to allow the registrar to make changes to the register accordingly. The bill would amend sections 32B, 32D, 32DA and 32DC of the Act to omit the relevant requirements that persons registering a change of sex or altering a record of their sex are to be unmarried.

The Power of Activism: Creating Legal and Social Change for Children in Immigration Detention
THE POWER OF ACTIVISM: CREATING LEGAL AND SOCIAL CHANGE FOR CHILDREN IN IMMIGRATION DETENTION SANDY SANDHYA JACKSON A THESIS SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY SYDNEY LAW SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY 2020 ABSTRACT In February 2019, the Australian government announced that there were no longer any children in offshore immigration detention. The influence of the Australian refugee advocacy movement on this outcome is important to understand because of its relevance to the global refugee crisis in which children continue to be detained across the world. My thesis examines how the Australian refugee advocacy movement has tried to create legal and social change for children in immigration detention using strategic litigation and grassroots advocacy. Cases are analysed to critically evaluate the success of lawyers in the courtroom to challenge an intransigent government determined to pursue its harsh policies. The mass mobilisation of activists and their efforts to shift public and political opinion are also examined. Drawing on the wider socio‐legal literature and notably the work of McCann, the integrated legal mobilisation framework is proposed. It consists of capabilities and practical grassroots strategies, and provides an in‐depth and evidenced way of understanding the influence of the Australian refugee advocacy movement in helping to achieve the release of children from immigration detention. Data from 41 interviews from refugee advocacy groups, activists, lawyers, doctors, journalists, bureaucrats, policy advisors, and politicians are used to evaluate how the capabilities and strategies have been used by the refugee advocacy movement to help create legal and social change for children in immigration detention.

The Logics of Social News: How Buzzfeed, Junkee, and Pedestrian.Tv Are Making News More Engaging, Sociable, and Personal
The Logics of Social News: How BuzzFeed, Junkee, and Pedestrian.tv are Making News More Engaging, Sociable, and Personal Edward Hurcombe BA(Hons). University of Melbourne Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Communication Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2019 ii Keywords BuzzFeed Junkee Pedestrian.tv News Journalism Digital journalism Audience engagement Sharing Personalisation Sociability Popular culture Social media Platforms Textual analysis Social media analytics iii Abstract In recent years, disruptive digital technologies, monopolising platforms, fragmented and partisan news publics, and failing revenue streams have led to growing concerns regarding the health of journalism. Yet a number of commercially successful news outlets, that share common stylistics and operate in similar ways, have arisen from these developments. Journalism researchers, however, currently lack categories in which understand and evaluate these outlets. In response, this thesis proposes, conceptualises, and illustrates the emerging genre of “social news”, comprising specific forms and practices that are recognisably journalistic yet deeply embedded in the everyday cultures of social media platforms and the broader Internet. Specifically, it examines three exemplary Australian born- digital publications – BuzzFeed Oz News, Junkee, and Pedestrian.tv. These outlets are critically evaluated using a mixed methods approach that combines textual analysis of content and self-representational
