    DON DUNSTAN FOUNDATION 1 DON DUNSTAN ORAL HISTORY PROJECT Sue BRITON-JONES This is George Lewkowicz from the Don Dunstan Foundation interviewing Sue Briton- Jones for the Don Dunstan History Project. The topics will be Aboriginal rights and related issues and some other areas like planning and the environment in the Dunstan years. The date today is 20th December 2007 and the location is Sue Briton-Jones’ office, 8th Floor Riverside in North Terrace, Adelaide. Sue, thanks very much for being willing to contribute to the Don Dunstan History Project. Can you just provide a short background on yourself, your studies and how you got into the public service and where you started? Well, my first degree was in Psychology at Flinders University. Subsequently I started a master’s in Town Planning at University of Adelaide, also did some part-time Law studies, and in particular in about ’96 did a course on Indigenous Australians and the Law at Flinders University. From about 1970 to ’94 I spent about ten years in Department of Premier and Cabinet, in and out, about ten years in total. I worked for the new Department of Environment when it was first established but going in and out of the public service. I worked as a management consultant for PA Management Consultants in Melbourne in about ’84–85, worked as the adviser to Susan Lenehan who was then the Minister for Environment and Planning from about 1990–91, MFP1 Development Corporation, subsequently worked for Robert Tickner who was the Commonwealth Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs, and then I worked as a self- employed consultant from ’96–98 working primarily on Aboriginal issues.

  • Policy Life Cycle Analysis of Three Australian State-Level Public
    Article Journal of Development Policy Life Cycle Policy and Practice 6(1) 9–35, 2021 Analysis of Three © 2021 Aequitas Consulting Pvt. Ltd. and SAGE Australian State-level Reprints and permissions: in.sagepub.com/journals-permissions-india Public Policies: DOI: 10.1177/2455133321998805 Exploring the journals.sagepub.com/home/jdp Political Dimension of Sustainable Development Kuntal Goswami1,2 and Rolf Gerritsen1 Abstract This article analyses the life cycle of three Australian public policies (Tasmania Together [TT], South Australia’s Strategic Plan [SASP,] and Western Australia’s State Sustainability Strategy [WA’s SSS]). These policies were formulated at the state level and were structured around sustainable development concepts (the environmental, economic, and social dimensions). This study highlights contexts that led to the making of these public policies, as well as factors that led to their discontinuation. The case studies are based on analysis of parliamentary debates, state governments’ budget reports, public agencies’ annual reports, government media releases, and stakeholders’ feedback. The empirical findings highlight the importance of understanding the political dimension of sustainable development. This fact highlights the need to look beyond the traditional three-dimensional view of sustainability when assessing the success (or lack thereof) of sustainable development policies. Equally important, the analysis indicates that despite these policies’ limited success (and even one of these policies not being implemented at all), sustainability policies can have a legacy beyond their life cycle. Hence, the evaluation of these policies is likely to provide insight into the process of policymaking. 1 Charles Darwin University (CDU), Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia. 2 Australian Centre for Sustainable Development Research & Innovation (ACSDRI), Adelaide, South Australia, Australia.

Gender in a partnership society 9. Growing older in a partnership society 10. Doing business in a partnership society 11. Minding the environment 12. Role of the media in a partnership society 13. Creativity in a partnership society 14. Ethics, responsibility and regulation 15. Australia’s future role in the world End-piece APPENDIX A: Partnership and Gladiatorial models compared APPENDIX B: Bringing about a partnership society 5 6 Introduction Not Just a Dream is my attempt to explore how far Australia has travelled along the path to a partnership society. I have not tried to write a learned or academic book. My aim has been to give a panoramic overview of social change from circa 7000 BCE to the present and to illustrate (with examples) the gradual ‘return’ to a partnership society. My definition of a partnership society is one in which ‘men’ and ‘women’ participate equally and can reach their potential to contribute to society. It is a society where poverty is minimised; race and religion are not hindrances to contribution and the environment is protected.

  • Dialogue and Indigenous Policy in Australia
    Dialogue and Indigenous Policy in Australia Darryl Cronin A thesis in fulfilment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Social Policy Research Centre Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences September 2015 ABSTRACT My thesis examines whether dialogue is useful for negotiating Indigenous rights and solving intercultural conflict over Indigenous claims for recognition within Australia. As a social and political practice, dialogue has been put forward as a method for identifying and solving difficult problems and for promoting processes of understanding and accommodation. Dialogue in a genuine form has never been attempted with Indigenous people in Australia. Australian constitutionalism is unable to resolve Indigenous claims for recognition because there is no practice of dialogue in Indigenous policy. A key barrier in that regard is the underlying colonial assumptions about Indigenous people and their cultures which have accumulated in various ways over the course of history. I examine where these assumptions about Indigenous people originate and demonstrate how they have become barriers to dialogue between Indigenous people and governments. I investigate historical and contemporary episodes where Indigenous people have challenged those assumptions through their claims for recognition. Indigenous people have attempted to engage in dialogue with governments over their claims for recognition but these attempts have largely been rejected on the basis of those assumptions. There is potential for dialogue in Australia however genuine dialogue between Indigenous people and the Australian state is impossible under a colonial relationship. A genuine dialogue must first repudiate colonial and contemporary assumptions and attitudes about Indigenous people. It must also deconstruct the existing colonial relationship between Indigenous people and government.

  • I Love Metal Press Release.Docx
    Tony Iommi/Black Sabbath and Judas Priest backs #ILoveMetal – The world’s biggest ever metal-music charity prize draw. Visit - www.ilovemetal.co.uk Donated by international metal-music industry heavyweights such as Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Nuclear Blast, My Dying Bride, Laney, Epiphone, Earache, Sony/BMG, Razamataz, PRS Guitars, Live Nation/Download, 5BAM, Bravado, and UK Metal Merger resulting in nine incredible bundles, with over 1,000 items of ‘money-can’t-buy’ metal memorabilia, merchandise and rarities - #ILoveMetal is the world’s biggest ever metal-music charity prize draw. In partnership with Julie Weir/Music For Nations – the #ILoveMetal collection was collated by the UK Metal Merger ‘In Solitude’ single supergroup collaboration, again with the motivation of raising funds for the Stagehand Charity. Stagehand is the only UK charity that specifically helps music stage and road crew, and is dedicated to providing severe-hardship funding and mental health support for live events industry workers. The #ILoveMetal campaign is critical to supporting the ‘behind the scenes’ workers in the live music industry that, right now, are in crisis. Without them there won't be a live events industry, even when covid restrictions are lifted. Whilst providing the opportunity to win money-can’t-buy prizes, #ILoveMetal is a way for the metal community to come together to support live music (a cause very dear to our hearts and ears!) giving back to the people who make these life-affirming events happen. This is not an auction! It is a series of prize draws for each available bundle. With an auction, only fans with the deepest pockets get involved, whereas with a prize draw the whole international metal community can participate through £5 entries via the #ILoveMetal Crowdfunder page.
