We believe that their rights and responsibilities as owners and custodians must be respected. We hold that First Nations peoples have a right to self-determination and political representation, and must be partners in the development and implementation of public policies, programs and services that affect them.

I am now much more inclined towards the Australian Conservatives rather than the Liberals. Quarterly Essay 34 Stop At Nothing. Craig Dowling rated it it was amazing Oct 09, I recommend this to anyone looking for a way to begin understanding the forces at work in Australian politics. Maybe I was looking for something different in the book did not find it enlightening at all first book I have read of Annabelle Crabb. Easy and enjoyable read - even for people who are not naturally liberal fans. Drawing on extensive interviews with Turnbull, Crabb delves into his university exploits — which included co-authoring a musical with Bob Ellis — and his remarkable relationship with Kerry Packer, the man for whom he was first a prized attack dog and then a mortal enemy. Bron rated it it was ok Dec 30, At times, the Turnbull life-story seems almost to have the silvery impermanence of cinema, and you suspect that somewhere behind it all is a haggard old-time Hollywood screenwriter, artfully inserting plot twists and complex little synchronicities for the benefit of the audience. Anyway, I I never really looked into the politics of my own country that much - America is just so much crazier and more sensational. This book, slightly longer than a quarterly essay, is worth an afternoon of your time.

Introduction This Portfolio consists of seven closely related Papers, of varying length, which propose an approach towards the Philosophy of Education congruent with Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) as it has come to be practised in the State of New South Wales, Australia. 2. The argument of the Portfolio Papers Each Paper in the Portfolio develops a particular concept and that concept then, is integrated into the broad concept of education being proposed. i) This first Paper provides an overview that links the Papers of the Portfolio as an integrated project; it also provides relevant information about this author that positions the writer’s professional context in the Portfolio. ii) The second Paper examines three background matters relevant to any discussion of CPE as professional education. It begins by noting what is common in the practices of medical doctors and hospital Chaplains and what is distinctive in those practices before concentrating upon the role of the hospital Chaplain and outlining the current practice for the training and formation of Chaplains in the State of New South Wales. After a short comment on the issue of Modernity, the Paper notes the contribution of key figures in the history of CPE in the United States of America and the formulation of the signature pedagogy of the profession of the hospital Chaplain.

  • The Media and the Opposition Judy Maddigan
    The Media and the Opposition By Judy Maddigan Abstract. This paper briefly examines the role of media, particularly the changing role of media in the Victorian political context. It argues that the media seems to be taking on the role of the Opposition in Victoria. The reliance of the Opposition on the media is particularly evident during question time in the Victorian Parliament. There are difficulties with this situation not only for the Opposition but also for the Government. 1 The Media and the Opposition Introduction A great deal has been written about the media and politics mainly relating to manipulation of the media by political parties or the link between media ownership and possible biased reporting. However, there is another area that has been less examined perhaps because it is a newer phenomena and that is, the media ‘creating’ or ‘manipulating’ the news rather than ‘reporting’ it within the political arena, and the dangers it can have particularly for Opposition parties. What is the role of the media? There are many books and articles on the subject. The media has been described as a central political battleground, and the political role of news is also an intellectual battleground. Most publicly this is manifested in the constant disputes over bias or distortion in the news. More deeply, it occurs in debates over the social values which the news should uphold, the institutional bases that will best realise those values, and the intellectual challenges in assessing both the influences on 1 news and the influence of news. 1 The Politics of Australian Society: Political Issues for the New Century.

Orientador(a): Prof. Dr. Silvio Shigueo Nihei São Paulo 2021 2 Introdução geral A sistemática biológica estuda a diversidade da vida e inclui anatomia comparativa, taxonomia e classificação. Como agora entendemos que essa diversidade é o resultado de processos evolutivos, a sistemática também inclui a tarefa de formular hipóteses robustas sobre a história evolutiva. Filogenética, então, é o estudo da elaboração dessas hipóteses com a história dos organismos que envolve a construção de filogenias – que são geralmente representadas por árvores filogenéticas, que retratam eventos de especiação de linhagens ao longo do tempo. Com isso, a análise filogenética tornou-se um elemento essencial que unifica uma ampla gama de programas de pesquisa que investigam os padrões, e possibilitam os estudos dos processos, da evolução. Porém, o que, precisamente, a sistemática filogenética explica? Se ela se propõe a fornecer explicações, de que forma a sistemática fornce explicações? E, finalmente, essas explicações estão adequadas? Se um dos objetivos da ciência é fornecer explicações bem-sucedidas, para, assim, produzir uma teoria científica capaz de construir uma série de explicações causais nas quais explicam-se outros fenômenos (Strevens, 2013), as questões de expplicação na filogenetica serão analisadas e uma tentativa de responder a estas perguntas serão dadas.

  • Diptera, Tachinidae)
    Marcelo Domingos de Santis Análise cladística da tribo Dufouriini (Diptera, Tachinidae) Cladistic analysis of the tribe Dufouriini (Diptera, Tachinidae) São Paulo 2016 1 Resumo Tachinidae é uma das maiores famílias de Diptera, com cerca de 8500 espécies válidas. Atualmente, a família está dividida em quatro subfamílias: Phasiinae, Exoristinae, Tachininae e Dexiinae. Esta última contendo Dufouriini, tribo que possui 51 espécies em 13 gêneros, com distribuição mundial, e parasitóides de Coleoptera, principalmente Chrysomelidae e Curculionidae. Tem o seu posicionamento dentro de Dexiinae controverso, incluindo uma proposta de status de subfamília, e até família. Isso pode ser explicado pela necessidade de estudos filogenéticos para o grupo. Este trabalho tem como objetivo testar a monofilia de Dufouriini e de seus gêneros, além de reconstruir uma hipótese de relacionamento filogenético entre os gêneros da tribo, a partir de material disponível em coleções no país e no exterior. Como resultado do estudo morfológico detalhado que incluiu 34 espécies e 22 gêneros do grupo interno, foram construídos 185 caracteres para a análise filogenética, incluindo caracteres morfológicos do ovo, larva, pupário, adultos, incluindo terminália feminina e masculina e espermateca. A análise com pesagem igual dos caracteres resultou em uma única árvore mais parcimoniosa (L= 391; CI=63; RI=83), com Dufouriini sensu lato sendo recuperado como parafilético. Com base na filogenia obtida, os seus gêneros foram alocados da seguinte forma: 1) Cenosoma Wulp, 1890; Euoestrophasia Townsend, 1892; Jamacaria Curran, 1928 e Oestrophasia Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1889 transferidos para Oestrophasiini, tribo revalidada; 2) Mesnilana Emden, 1945 e Rhinophoroides Barraclough, 2005 incertae sedis em Dexiinae; e 3) Microsoma Macquart 1855 e Pandelleia Villeneuve, 1907 transferidos para Freraeini (além de Eugymnopeza Townsend e Freraea Robineau-Desvoidy que já faziam parte da tribo).
