  • Influences on Politicians' Decision Making for Early Childhood
    Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood Volume 10 Number 3 2009 www.wwwords.co.uk/CIEC Influences on Politicians’ Decision Making for Early Childhood Education and Care Policy: what do we know? What don’t we know? KATHRYN BOWN, JENNIFER SUMSION & FRANCES PRESS Charles Sturt University, Bathurst, Australia ABSTRACT Politicians play a key role in determining policy content and outcomes for early childhood education and care (ECEC). As a result, the quality of formal ECEC provisions for children rests considerably on the policy decisions of politicians. Despite direct and indirect effects of politicians’ policy decisions for the ECEC field, few studies explore influences on politicians’ policy decisions, and fewer still pertain to ECEC. In light of the significant gap in the research investigating how and why politicians make the decisions that they do, the authors present a case for a research agenda to investigate politicians’ policy decision-making processes in ECEC. A review of the literature pertaining to influences on political decision making reveals some possible influences on politicians’ decision making generally, but not for ECEC policy specifically. Using the policy sphere of ECEC to illustrate the complexities of social policy development and implementation in a democratic political system, the authors put forward a conceptualisation of policy that generates a wide range of questions to inform the development of a research agenda. They conclude with a discussion of the possible implications that a research agenda investigating politicians’ policy decisions in ECEC might have for the early childhood field. Introduction In April 2008 the Australian government held an event at Parliament House known as the 2020 Summit.

    ExEcutivE council REpoRt FoR ThE PaST FouR YEaRS, the Executive Council of the AFL-CIO, which is the governing body of the federation between conventions, has coordinated the work of our movement to reverse the growing power of giant corporations and special interests, while advancing the crucial needs of working families and driving programs to build a people-powered future for America. We deployed multiple approaches to grow and strengthen our movement. We seized opportunities to make working family priorities central in our nation and the global economy. And we worked to build a unified labor movement with the power to take on the tremendous challenges before us. The AFL-CIO Executive Council is constitutionally charged with reporting on the activities of the AFL-CIO and its affiliates to each Convention. It is with great respect for the delegates to our 26th Constitutional Convention that we present this report on highlights of the past four years.

  • Interview with Kerry Reed-Gilbert
    Interview with Kerry Reed-Gilbert Anne Brewster and Kerry Reed-Gilbert AB: I’d like to start off by asking you about your childhood. KR: I always tell everybody that I’m a fruit-picker by trade. I come from the paddocks and I’m very proud to be a cherry picker’s daughter. I’m a bushy. We’re a pretty big mob and my family come from Condobolin. Condo’s where I grew up. It was an amazing community; we all knew each other, who we were, where we come from; there were close knit families. You went to school with a big mob and that was really important. We were fruit-pickers and that meant that we had to go to other towns to pick the fruit: Griffith with the grapes, Leeton with the oranges, Cowra with the tomatoes, cherries at Young and Orange. It wasn’t an easy life as kids. In those days Aboriginal people weren’t given pensions; we had to earn our living and that’s what we did. We worked during our holidays and if there was fruit available after school we’d come down into the paddocks to this amazing woman who is Mummy, who reared all us kids up and kept us together. I really honour her because without her it would have been a lot, lot harder. We would have been stolen by the welfare if it wasn’t for her and Daddy. People actually say to me you must have learnt a lot off your father Kevin Gilbert, but I say ‘well I did, but in actual fact I learnt it off Mummy.’ Mummy is my father’s sister so she’s my aunt in non-Aboriginal terms.

  • Weaving the Past Into the Present: Indigenous Stories of Education Across Generations

Education (Early Childhood Special Education) (University of Washington); B. Education (Griffith); Dip Teach (Primary & Preschool) (BCAE) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Education Queensland University of Technology April 2013 Keywords Aboriginal Australians, Aboriginal education, Aboriginal families, decolonisation theory, Indigenist research, Indigenous education, Indigenous narratives, Indigenous methodologies, intergenerational narratives Weaving the past into the present: Indigenous stories of education across generations i Editorial Acknowledgement Ms Charlotte Cottier, AE, provided expert editorial assistance for the final version of this thesis. This editorial assistance included: a review of the final thesis document on language usage; checks for completeness and consistency in the content; and a review of the references in the document to ensure that they met APA citation style standards. Charlotte has editorial experience in reviewing work for Indigenous students and is familiar with Indigenous terminology. ii Weaving the past into the present: Indigenous stories of education across generations Abstract In Queensland, there is little research that speaks to the historical experiences of schooling. Aboriginal education remains a part of the silenced history of Aboriginal people. This thesis presents stories of schooling from Aboriginal people across three generations of adult storytellers. Elders, grandparents, and young parents involved in an early childhood urban playgroup were included. Stories from the children attending the playgroup were also welcomed. The research methodology involved narrative storywork. This is culturally appropriate because Aboriginal stories connect the past with the present.

  • Working Families Are Aussie Battlers
    Lost in the Struggle: Aussie Battlers in the Rhetoric of Opposition Joshua Bee Abstract This essay examines the role of the Aussie Battler in Australian political rhetoric. I argue that the Aussie Battler is a rhetorical incarnation of economic struggle, in which an Opposition utilises an ambiguity akin to dog whistling to foment and direct dissatisfaction towards an incumbent Government. Concepts like these are necessarily self-limiting after the Opposition deploying them is elected, as the circumstances from which they arise directly conflict with the expected rhetoric of competent and effective Government. Whilst particular incarnations of this rhetoric may hold partisan connotations, for instance Howard’s Battlers or Rudd’s Working Families, the pool of discontent they seek to foment and mobilise remains largely consistent. Curiously, this ongoing manipulation and promise of representation seems to undermine the essence of the Battler cultural ethic that makes identification with such articulations rhetorically significant. Introduction In 1988 John Howard, as Leader of the Opposition, gave a speech designed to foster a sense of disjuncture between the Government, and Australians who felt that - for a reason that perhaps was not entirely clear - life was harder than it should be.1 Over the next eight years, a shadowy horde of Aussie Battlers banded together against an elitist Government that was ‘out of touch’, and in 1996, ‘Howard’s Battlers’ were widely credited with delivering Australia its first Liberal Government in over a decade.2 Whilst their significance as a construct necessarily diminished during the Howard years, the pool of potentialities from which the Aussie Battler arose remained.
