  • The Effect of Observable Party Cohesion on Voter Choice in Liberal Democracies
    PhD in Political Science The effect of observable party cohesion on voter choice in liberal democracies. Candidate David Jack Barrett Supervisor Michael Gallagher September 2017 2 Declaration I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is entirely my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library conditions of use and acknowledgement. Date Signature 3 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the help of a large number of people, and I would like to take the opportunity to express my thanks and gratitude to them. First, my supervisor Michael Gallagher has truly been extraordinarily helpful, providing comments and feedback at every point in the last four years, often at quite short notice. His encouragement and advice both on this thesis, but also in teaching and to attending conferences has always been wonderful. Certainly no one could have asked for a more patient and forgiving supervisor. This thesis would have been impossible without the financial support provided by the Irish Research Council (IRC) and by the Department of Political Science at Trinity College Dublin. My work is deeply in the debt of many scholars. James Davidson in the University of Exeter though, especially, provided me with much of the data used in Chapter Five in this thesis that he had gathered for his own research, and answered my endless questions regarding it, without which this research would have been impossible.

  • East Melbourne Group Yarra Park Election Flyer
    HOW TO USE YOUR VOTE ON SATURDAY TO SAVE YARRA PARK YARRA PARK SHOULD BE FOR EVERYONE. BUT IT’S UNDER THREAT. A proposal by the Melbourne Football Club to build new administration and training facilities in and around heritage-listed parklands would see a six-storey office block constructed over the rail line, along with a separate apartment building to the west, and almost two hectares of public land repurposed for an elite training oval. The building would not only obstruct famous views across Wellington Parade to the MCG, but also cast much of the park into darkness by blocking the northern sunshine. And the new oval and headquarters would require the removal of historic trees, many of which formed part of Melbourne’s early landscaping plans. © 2018 Google Which candidates oppose the In the leadup to Saturday’s State To read the full responses please Demons’ development plans Election, the East Melbourne Group go to emg.org.au/current-issues for Yarra Park? sent questionnaires to candidates in the Melbourne electorate, asking them whether they oppose this ill-considered proposal.

  • Extending Out-Of-Home Care in the State of Victoria, Australia: the Policy Context and Outcomes
    Scottish Journal of Residential Child Care Volume 20.1 Extending out-of-home care in the state of Victoria, Australia: The policy context and outcomes Philip Mendes Abstract In November 2020, the State (Labour Party) Government of Victoria in Australia announced that it would extend out-of-home care (OOHC) on a universal basis until 21 years of age starting 1 January 2021. This is an outstanding policy innovation introduced in response to the Home Stretch campaign, led by Anglicare Victoria, to urge all Australian jurisdictions to offer extended care programmes until at least 21 years. It also reflects the impact of more than two decades of advocacy by service providers, researchers, and care experienced young people (Mendes, 2019). Keywords Care experience, out-of-home care, aftercare, care leaving, extended care, staying put, Australia Corresponding author: Philip Mendes, Associate Professor, Monash University Department of Social Work, [email protected] This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License Scottish Journal of Residential Child Care ISSN 1478 – 1840 CELCIS.ORG Extending out-of-home care in the state of Victoria, Australia: The policy context and outcomes Background Australia has a federal out-of-home care (OOHC) system by which transition from care policy and practice differs according to the specific legislation and programmes in the eight states and territories. In June 2019, there were nearly 45,000 children in OOHC nationally of whom the majority (92 per cent in total) were either in relative/kinship care or foster care. Only about six per cent lived in residential care homes supervised by rostered staff.

WFA welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the Select Committee’s consideration of the Statutes Amendment (Repeal of Sex Work Offences) Bill 2020. WFA recognises that prostitution is rooted in gender inequality, that it commodifies women and that, by its very nature, can never be made “safe”. We support law reform directed at minimising harm to women lured into prostitution and at preventing the expansion of an inherently exploitative industry. For this reason, we oppose the proposed Bill which would, if enacted, promote the interests of the industry at the expense of its victims. Instead, WFA asks that the South Australian Parliament consider enacting “Nordic Model” legislation which works to reduce the “demand” side of this industry. The Nordic model has a proven track record of reducing both prostitution and trafficking. WFA is available to answer questions if requested. Yours faithfully, Rachael Wong CEO, Women’s Forum Australia WFA Submission re: Statutes Amendment (Repeal of Sex Work Offences) Bill 2020 The sex industry is inherently exploitative.

  • Information for the ​Review Into Decriminalisation of Sex Work
    Information for the Review into Decriminalisation Of Sex Work ​ The Andrews Labor Government has called a review to consider the decriminalisation of all forms of sex work to achieve better public health and human rights outcomes for Victorian sex workers. The Review will be led by the Member for Northern Metropolitan Region Fiona Patten. The Review is said to consider: ● ‘All forms of sex work, including sex work in commercial brothels and escort agencies, sexual services provided in massage parlours and similar businesses, sex work by small owner-operated businesses, and street-based sex work ● Workplace safety including health and safety issues and stigma and discrimination against sex workers ● Regulatory requirements for operators of commercial sex work businesses ● Enforcement powers required to address criminal activity in the sex work industry, including coercion, exploitation, debt bondage and slavery ● Local amenity and the location of premises providing sexual services and street-based sex work ● The promotion of public health and appropriate regulation of sex work advertising ● And the safety and wellbeing of sex workers, including the experience of violence that arises in the course of sex work and as a consequence of it, and worker advocacy for safety and wellbeing.’ “Key stakeholders” identified by the Review Team, composed of Department of Justice and Community Safety (DJCS) staff and Fiona Patten, are being invited to participate in “facilitated sessions”. The Review Team states that “participating stakeholders are representatives of ​ community, police and local government, health and workplace safety services, as well as people with direct or expert knowledge of, and experience in Victoria’s sex work industry, including business operators and sex workers themselves.” It will be important to have sex worker voices shaping the review of Victorian sex industry regulation and calling for the full decriminalisation of sex work.
