Study design The study design used a qualitative approach, using semi-structured interviews and thematic content analysis. Analysis A coding framework using a template analysis method was used as it enabled the considerable knowledge gained from the literature to form a basis for the coding and this was then developed in light of the responses.

The interview questions were initially used as the basis Companion document - Future planning and advance care planning 5 Demographics of interview participants In consultation with the management of change enabling subunit and the stakeholder advisory group, potential stakeholders were identified and then rated according to their urgency, legitimacy and power against two criteria. Evaluating against two criteria the salience of the information they are able to provide, and the ability to influence the project spread we were able to prioritize stakeholder to ensure we focused stakeholder interviews on the groups most important to the project outcomes.

  • The Life and Work of William Redfern
    THE LIFE AND WORK OF WILLIAM REDFERN The Annual Post-Graduate Oration, delivered on April 29, 1953, in the Great Hall of the University of Sydney. This oration is delivered to commemorate those who have advanced the art and science of medicine in New South Wales. By EDWARD FORD, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Professor of Preventive Medicine in the University of Sydney. THE LIFE AND WORK OF WILLIAM REDFERN THE LIFE AND WORK OF WILLIAM REDFERN By EDWARD FORD, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Professor of Preventive Medicine, University of Sydney. WILLIAM REDFERN, one of our most distinguished Australian medical forebears, arrived on these shores, in trial and despair, over a century and a half ago. He came as a convict who suffered in turn the horror of a sentence of death, the misery of life imprisonment and exile, and a bitter residue of disdain and persecution. Yet William Redfern rose from the depths to an honoured place in our history. He was a pioneer of Australian medicine, agriculture and husbandry, and a citizen who contributed greatly to the welfare of the early colony. He was the first medical practitioner to receive an Australian qualification, and our first teacher of medical students. It is an honour to recall, in this Sixth Post-Graduate Oration, the work of William Redfern and the debt we owe to him. This is made possible by the records of his day, stored richly in the Mitchell Library, and by the biographical work of the late Dr. Norman Dunlop (1928a, b) and other historians.

  • Advancement Would Be Within the Bounds of the Judicial Law-Making Function Has Been Largely Overlooked
    The Judicial Law-Making Function and a Tort of Invasion of Personal Privacy Aiden Lerch Abstract There has long been debate about whether there should be a tort of invasion of personal privacy. While the debate has traditionally focused on the precise formulation of the tort, consideration of whether the tort’s advancement would be within the bounds of the judicial law-making function has been largely overlooked. Extant literature validly points out that invasions of privacy are now commonplace in our technological society. However, societal change alone is unlikely to be sufficient to justify the establishment of a new tort. This article explores whether there is a more principled justification for the common law development of a tort of invasion of personal privacy by critically assessing whether it can be integrated into the underlying foundations of contemporary Australian tort law. It is argued that upon an acceptance that the rights-based theory provides a leading account of Australian tort law, it can be determined that the judicial advancement of a tort of invasion of personal privacy would be justified and legitimate.

  • Severe Storms on the East Coast of Australia 1770–2008
    SEVERE STORMS ON THE EAST COAST OF AUSTRALIA 1770 – 2008 Jeff Callaghan Research Fellow, Griffith Centre for Coastal Management, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Qld Formerly Head Severe Storm Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane Dr Peter Helman Senior Research Fellow, Griffith Centre for Coastal Management, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Qld Published by Griffith Centre for Coastal Management, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Queensland 10 November 2008 This publication is copyright. Apart from any fair dealing for the purpose of private study, research, criticism or review, as permitted under the Copyright Act, no part may be reproduced by any process without written permission from the publisher. ISBN: 978-1-921291-50-0 Foreword Severe storms can cause dramatic changes to the coast and devastation to our settlements. If we look back through history, to the first European observations by James Cook and Joseph Banks on Endeavour in 1770, we can improve our understanding of the nature of storms and indeed climate on the east coast. In times of climate change, it is essential that we understand natural climate variability that occurs in Australia. Looking back as far as we can is essential to understand how climate is likely to behave in the future. Studying coastal climate through this chronology is one element of the process. Analysis of the records has already given an indication that east coast climate fluctuates between phases of storminess and drought that can last for decades. Although records are fragmentary and not suitable for statistical analysis, patterns and climate theory can be derived. The dependence on shipping for transport and goods since European settlement ensures a good source of information on storms that gradually improves over time.

  • Guidance Questions and Answers Concerning 49 Cfr Part 39, Ada Rules Concerning Passenger Vessels
    1 GUIDANCE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS CONCERNING 49 CFR PART 39, ADA RULES CONCERNING PASSENGER VESSELS The Department of Transportation’s final rules applying the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to passenger vessel operators’ (PVOs’) policies took effect January 3, 2011.i These questions and answers, responding to concerns expressed by passenger vessel operators, provide guidance on the Department’s understanding of the meaning and application of 49 CFR Part 39. The date of this guidance is January 31, 2011. Part 39 does not include requirements pertaining to the design and construction of passenger vessels. The Department anticipates proposing in the future, in cooperation with the U.S. Access Board, standards for the accessible design and construction of passenger vessels. The General Counsel of the Department of Transportation has reviewed this document and approved it as consistent with the language and intent of 49 CFR Part 39. SERVICE ANIMAL ISSUES 39.3, 39.91 QUESTION: WHAT KINDS OF ANIMALS ARE REGARDED AS SERVICE ANIMALS? ANSWER: * The Department intends that the service animal provisions of Part 39 be interpreted to be consistent with the service animal provisions of Department of Justice (DOJ) rules under Titles II and III of the ADA (as published in the Federal Register on September 15, 2010). * Consequently, the Department understands a service animal to be any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. * Other types of animals (e.g., cats, primates) are not considered service animals under DOJ rules.
