▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
This exegesis is titled Plexus, which means matting or plaiting, to emphasize the concept of interconnection. The history of a place, memories, the journeys to and from it, the connections to the environment and each other shape our experience of it. Looking closely at a particular place gives an awareness of the way that history, natural surroundings and society combine to produce a distinctive location. Applying the model of the rhizome developed by Deleuze and Guattari, and the Buddhist philosophy regarding interconnection, this project explores the interconnectedness of geological/topographical configurations, and social and material history of Hanging Rock, near Nundle NSW, and the region surrounding it. After examining the impact of colonialism on the Aboriginal people of the region and the differences between the ways in which both groups perceive the environment, it is apparent that the subsequent degradation of Hanging Rock, once an unspoiled wilderness, was a direct result of these differences. The microscopic organisms, the less noticeable or seemingly unimportant plant life and the layering of other plant material in the environment are investigated and given equal status with the more noticeable so as to make clear the need to value each entity equally, all play a part in the health of the environment. In this particular case study of Hanging Rock I will explore how art can critique the human domination of nature. I will do this through an auto - ethnographic framework, along with theories of place, and with reference to the ideas promoted in ecofeminism, the possibility of an ethical commitment to the environment. The role of collecting, both in the methodology I have adopted and that of other artists, plays a part in the investigation of Hanging Rock. During this study I will produce artworks which will highlight the concerns I have in relation to the impact of human intervention on the Hanging Rock environment; in doing so I intend to communicate the fragility of this beautiful and changing place to a wider audience through a visual interpretation.

▼ The political context for eGovernment in Australia, as in many countries, is the global economic liberalism that has dominated for the last 20 to 30 years. This has manifest in public policy circles as the broad range of reforms known as NPM. Electronic government (eGovernment) has been heralded as a panacea for all public sector management ills. It promises a new era of governance, but ignores the political and social context in which policy is implemented. More than service delivery ‘online’, eGovernment is a broad loose term which incorporates the desire to reform ‘back office’ operations through the use of ICT and re-direct the structures in which the public sector operates.This thesis examines international variations of eGovernment and explores how strategy has emerged from NPM traditions and interaction with ICT. This research makes a contribution to knowledge in the areas of, NPM, policy implementation and eGovernment. It was found eGovernment has much in common with NPM. However, it also adds ICT-driven reform objectives and new service delivery possibilities. Applying a hermeneutic approach to textual interpretation, this research develops an ‘eGovernment Framework’ from the common objectives of eGovernment strategies and provides an understanding of the challenges associated with the development and enactment of eGovernment, using
NSW as a case study.

▼ Masters Research - Master of Science (M.Sc)
Caulerpa taxifolia (Vahl) C. Agardh (Bryopsidales) is a very common green marine alga in tropical waters of the world, including northern Australia. It is also found in subtropical Australian waters and in temperate shallow sea waters, usually in the protected estuaries and bays of New South Wales (NSW) and South Australia (SA), where it was recorded for the first time in 2000. C. taxifolia has been one of the top seaweed invaders in the Mediterranean Sea during the last decade, and for this reason its presence in temperate environments in South east Australia, outside its acknowledged natural range, is considered as an environmental threat. During the last decade, plans for its control, monitoring and risk assessment have been developed in both NSW and SA. Extensive research by universities and other scientific and management institutions has been conducted on a wide range of aspects of biology and management. Previous studies have usually focused on some specific aspect, such as morphology or genetics, using a range of techniques. The results however, are complex and contradictory and the question of the origin and identity of C. taxifolia strains in South Eastern Australia has not been resolved. The connections and sources of C. taxifolia populations in NSW estuaries still are not clearly understood and require integrating both morphological and genetic analysis. This study established morphological differences in C. taxifolia from different estuarine locations of New South Wales, set up experiments in the laboratory to study short-term morphological responses to different irradiances and completed a genetic analysis, using microsatellites, to identify genetic differences among populations. A large number of morphological characters (21) were recorded in this study, but only 11 showed no correlation and thus were selected to be used in the analysis. The morphology of C. taxifolia in NSW showed remarkable variability. Significant morphological differences were detected among populations in the estuaries, which varied according to the morphological character. At spatial scales greater than 100 km, significant variability was only detected in stolon diameter, ratio between fronds and rhizoids and, in distance between rhizoids (with the exception in one population). C. taxifolia in the estuarine locations in Southern New South Wales has morphology characterised by large and compacted thallus, while in Metropolitan Sydney the thallus is small, branched and slightly compacted. Based on overall morphology, a separation of two distinct geographical areas emerged, named the embayments and estuaries around Sydney (referred to as Metropolitan Sydney Area) and the coastal lakes in the south of the state (referred to as Southern NSW). In addition, the populations in Metropolitan Sydney were more similar to each other, than the populations within Southern NSW. In this area morphological characters showed a wider range of variability than those observed within Metropolitan Sydney.…

▼ Institutional regimes in transport: case studies of rail and road in NSW and Queensland 1850 - 2000 This thesis is about institutions and their regimes. It seeks to extend our understanding of how institutional environments and institutional arrangements mould local economic outcomes in different places at different scales. The basic stance of the thesis is that the analysis of institutional arrangements and their regimes provides an appropriate framework for understanding and explaining the trajectories of long historical processes of economic change. The thesis is situated within the ontological institutional turn in economic geography discourse. The institutional perspective is used to shed light on five key questions about land transport policy in NSW and Queensland from 1850 to 2000. What are the main themes of change in institutional arrangements in the management and delivery of land transport by government road and rail agencies? What were the drivers of key changes? How have the different politico-administrative settings of NSW and Queensland shaped similarities and difference? What factors contribute to an understanding of these differences? And, finally, what have been the outcomes for infrastructure governance, service delivery and spatial economic development in regions and cities? Two States were selected as case studies to enable the impact of different geographies to be considered. The thesis finds that these similarities and differences are a result of the emergence of ideas that capture advocacy within policy networks which themselves are part of the institutional structure. The speed and extent of the implementation of these ideas depends on the relative strength of individual actors as agents of policy change. The actual nature of the implementation processes is modified by the relative strength of the policy arena and of the key institutions within it. Hence, institutional architectures, even if they come from the wellspring of global trends, can differ markedly as they are modified by the “local” through the advocacy of interest groups. The overwhelming evidence from the case studies is that geography in its historical context is the critical variable in explaining different responses and outcomes in the road and rail trajectories of NSW and Queensland.

▼ The motivation for creating this thesis was primarily to research and understand if inequality existed for Aboriginal women artists from the state of New South Wales. I produced a documentary where I interviewed six Aboriginal language group women who created art in the state based boundaries of New South Wales.I also conducted a research component around the acquisition of art by the Art Gallery of New South Wales. I collected a lot of data around this and was not surprised to find that there was minimal collection of any women artists from New South Wales. My line of inquiry has established a clear foundation based on facts that Aboriginal women artists are treated in an unfair manner by the majority of curators in the Aboriginal area and the Art Gallery of New South Wales.I have also created a chapter called ‘The Journey' that outlines my life from a young Aboriginal girl to a mature woman artist and a chapter titled 'Artistic practice' that illustrates my career spanning over thirty years.I have created a case study on Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-operative that provides an extensive profile of the politics and power struggles of this Aboriginal Co-operative.

▼ This dissertation presents a case study of a cohort of 13 of the 86 children who were admitted in 1952 to Newcastle Mental Hospital (known as Watt Street) in New South Wales, Australia due to their intellectual disabilities. The study examined the lived impact of Australian Commonwealth and NSW State administrative frameworks (laws and policies) on their lives. The study adopted a mixed methods qualitative research design informed by a social constructivist world view. Data sources included: laws, policies and publications such as annual departmental reports; the children’s government archival administrative records; semi-structured interviews with 50 stakeholders (members of the cohort, family, nurses, administrators, academics and advocates); and accounts by historians. A systematic literature review of first person accounts was also undertaken. Analysis of the data identified seven broad themes. These were of significance across all stages of the cohort’s lives— childhood, teenage years, adulthood and retirement—but some were more important in some stages than in others. The main findings can be summarised as follows: • Commonwealth and State administrative frameworks set the course of the cohort’s lives in various institutional settings. Such a regimented existence was, and remains, at odds with the goals of contemporary international human rights instruments such as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) and domestic policies such as de-institutionalisation and personalised care. • Two administrative interventions had a positive impact on the cohort—the introduction of social welfare payments in 1967 the state’s expectations of co-contributions from families and auxiliaries to supplement policy and program initiatives. • The cohort experienced chronic, episodic and intermittent health issues throughout their lives. • Positive relationships with family, staff and peers played a vital role in the lives of people with intellectual disabilities in institutional settings. • Experiences of institutional abuse were identified. The study’s findings led to two main conclusions. First, as long as there are institutional settings, such as those in which several members of the cohort are living today, the full implementation of human rights policies and programs will remain problematic. Second, Australia’s federalist system can both help and hinder the realisation of these rights for Australians with intellectual disabilities. Further investigation is therefore urgently needed to identify ways of minimising or overcoming the barriers that impede the realisation of UNCRPD principles in contemporary residential settings such as aged care facilities. Findings from this study fill a gap in our knowledge of the experiences of this now ageing group of Australians who were admitted to institutional facilities as young children and the impact on their lives of changes in legislation, regulation and policy. They make an original contribution to scholarship in law and public…

▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Beginning in 1961, the Low Show Group was an active collective of women artists, exhibiting in Newcastle. The group members were Norma Allen, Mary Beeston, Betty Cutcher (Beadle), Elizabeth Martin, Lillian Sutherland and Rae Richards. Madeleine Scott Jones and Lovoni Webb also exhibited in later Low Show Group exhibitions. These artists continued to work independently and Richards is still making and exhibiting art. This study examines the context in which the group was formed and how this impacted on their decision to form a collective. Their contribution to art and craft, art education and the cultural life of Newcastle is documented through their exhibitions and careers. The theories of Howard Becker regarding art as a collective action, is used as a framework to examine the success of the Low Show group. Through a discussion of shared and individual careers as practitioners, their community service and their role as teachers, their influence is shown on the artistic practices of their students and colleagues and on the art world of their time. Newcastle’s background as a convict settlement and an industrial centre had developed a working class culture with a strong masculine influence. While some individual women artists were able to develop a career in fine arts, there was a long battle to establish a city art gallery and in 1961 there were no commercial galleries. The formation of the Low Show Group is shown to be as much about the society in which they lived as their artistic ambitions. The development of the Newcastle Technical Art School, and the formation of the Newcastle University College, was identified as the catalyst for the initial flowering of fine art. The experience of the Low Show artists first as students of this school, and in some cases as teachers, was the impetus for their desire to develop careers as professional artists. This evaluation of their contribution to the fine arts indicates how the contribution of this regional group of artists was important in paving the way for the present growth and a promising future of the fine arts in Newcastle.

▼ Densities and behaviour of Noisy Friarbirds Philemon corniculatus and Red Wattlebirds Anthochaera carunculata were measured during 1992 and 1993 at six sites along an east-west transect through central New South Wales from the Central Coast through to the Central Western Slopes, and at Goobang National Park from 1993 to 1996. Both P. corniculatus and A. carunculata were found to be mostly canopy foragers with occasional forays into the shrub layer when food resources became available there. Flower-probing and foliage gleaning comprised the bulk of foraging behaviour. Most of the food resources used by these honeyeaters were seasonally unreliable and unpredictable, so that they needed to shift between foods and track them over hundreds of kilometres. A strong relationship was found between the densities of honeyeaters and the density of flowering trees at both regional and local scales. Sites on the western slopes were more important for nectar during winter and spring, while sites on the tablelands provided a greater diversity of foods over all seasons. When foraging at foliage, both honeyeaters were found to preferentially select Eucalyptus punctata. These two honeyeaters are very mobile and appear to cope within the fragmented landscape. Their ecological role as plant pollinators, seed dispersers and insect population limiters may have increased proportionally due to habitat fragmentation compared with less mobile species with similar ecological roles. Hence they may also have become more important in maintaining habitat patch quality

This thesis presents an agent-based model of an emergency services call centre. The original contribution of this thesis is to demonstrate that agent-based modelling can be used to simulate the operation of an emergency services call centre. The thesis demonstrates that a simple calibrated parsimonious agent-based computer model of an emergency call centre is capable of simulating a real emergency call centre by directly emulating the interaction between the call queue and the customer service representatives who service the calls. The model is parsimonious in that it looks at the interaction between inbound calls and servers with a manager and without modelling the call centre technology or other agents. It was designed to run at a simulated one second resolution and results are available at any time during or at the end of a simulation run. This level of resolution was not found in models reported in the literature. The New South Wales Police Assistance Line in Australia (NSWPAL) was the first of its type in the world for the reporting of urgent and non-urgent crimes and incidents, and is used as a case study in this thesis. The thesis presents the first detailed research analysis of police emergency inbound call queues and the first detailed research analysis of the NSWPAL emergency and non-emergency queue data over a four year period is presented. The model’s servers’ parameters were calibrated against the NSWPAL data. A number of experiments demonstrated the model’s utility including showing differences and anomalies in the methods used to calculate service level, the impact of talk time on performance, the differences in call allocation methods, the impact of unexpected exogenous events, the use of historical data to examine past performance and the differences between the thesis and Erlang C models.

▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
The possession of land, its settlement and the means by which it was occupied, has been a vital determinant in the unfolding of NSW history and yet, in recent times, its importance has been neglected. Rather than a backdrop to a wider historical narrative, land policy in the years of the early governors was crucial to the way in which the colony grew and to the socio-economic and political structures that emerged. The possession of land and its regulation therefore formed a cornerstone on which the history of NSW was founded. This thesis revisits the early history of NSW and presents land use and ownership as a major theme. Britain’s imperial aspirations were instrumental in James Cook’s taking possession, on behalf of the British Crown, of the land along the continent’s eastern coastline in 1770. Cook’s claim intrinsically carried with it the associated dispossession of the indigenous population from that date. Land and its possession was prominent among the objectives of Arthur Phillip’s 1787 expedition to Botany Bay and is regarded by many historians as the prime reason for the colony’s existence. The selection of the site at Sydney Cove, the colonisation of Norfolk Island, Tasmania, New Zealand and the expansion across the entire continent were processes that unfolded at the confluence of British policies and the exigencies of colonial government. It was land that seeded the power of the NSW Corps officers and enabled them to achieve a monopoly on trade. It was their fear of losing land that ignited a rebellion by the same officers against a sitting governor. Land policy explains the colony’s original slow expansion and, once the confining barriers and restraining policies were breached, the rapid expansion of pastoral pursuits. Finally, land policy was a major cause of tension between the governors and the governed. It was a source of disquiet that tainted colonial politics and led to demands for, and the eventual achievement of, representative government. An examination of the land policies of both the British government and the early colonial governors Phillip to FitzRoy and the means by which different groups responded to those policies will shed fresh light on the physical, social and political growth of colonial New South Wales.

This thesis presents the results of an application of grounded theory research methodology to an area of study not previously tested by this technique. The allocation of land to urban growth impacts on both urban areas and the environment. A group of twenty leading practitioners in the field was interviewed and asked, in a set of structured questions, about their roles, the most important issues confronting them from ongoing urban development of Greenfield sites, how they saw the interaction between the current system of regulation and these issues, and changes they considered to be required. Applying grounded theory identified that the issues which concerned the practitioners fall into the following groupings: urban and environmental sustainability, the inadequate integration of these components yet the need to recognise their interaction, and the decision making process in terms of who is making decisions and how and when decisions are made about the allocation of land for urban growth. The current system is based primarily on the objective of resolving conflicts concerning land use. It was expected that the data obtained during the interviews may confirm the current orthodoxy. Unexpectedly, the data revealed not only a commonality of views but also a set of recommendations which could form the basis of a management framework to achieve greater environmental and urban sustainability. The interviewees pointed to proposals for urban growth in coastal NSW where a number of the recommendations have already been embraced by the NSW Government.

▼ The contraction and aging of stands of overstory tree species in rangelands is well documented worldwide and largely reflects anthropogenic pressures such as agricultural land clearing and increased grazing leading to increased mortality and reduced recruitment. Without recruitment, stands that largely comprise old and senescent plants may soon go locally extinct. Complicating assessments of plant population health however, is the diversity of dynamics in populations of plant species; what constitutes reproductive failure and population contraction in one species can simply represent a natural cycle in another. In far western New South Wales (NSW), several Acacia species subject to intense grazing by domestic and feral herbivores display prolonged recruitment failure. Surveys over the past two decades have also failed to detect fruit set suggesting they are trending to extinction. Hypotheses explaining the failure of these fragmented populations to reproduce sexually have included restrictions to mating systems, insufficient genetic diversity, prolonged drought period, and the widely supported claim that extant plants are senescent. In stark contrast, some shorter lived co-occurring Acacia species such as A. ligulata and A. victoriae are thriving and reproducing regularly under the same conditions. It is not understood why this difference exists. Reproductive effort has not yet been monitored outside a prolonged period of drought, demographic surveys to date have only been qualitative, and little is known about their mating systems. Without this information it is impossible to know which of the competing hypotheses explain their decline, or to recommend conservation strategies for the future. Here I use a multidisciplinary and comparative approach combining surveys, genetic analysis and manual pollination and growth experiments to gain this information.

▼ The initial aim of this thesis is to provide a factual account of the development of the various branches of education in New South Wales from the collapse of the Anglican monopoly about the time of Governor Bourke's arrival until the Public Instruction Act of 1880, which established a structure which has endured almost to our own day. Of equal importance with this aim has been an attempt to identify the persistent, broad features of N.S.W. education which, taken as a whole, went to make up a distinctive educational tradition.

The aim of this thesis is to chart the formation of the Newcastle Industrial Hub and to identify the men who controlled it, in its journey from Australian regional obscurity before 1915, to be the core of Australian steel manufacturing and technological development by 1950. This will be achieved through an examination of the progressive and consistent application of strategic direction and the adoption of manufacturing technologies that progressively lowered the manufacturing cost of steel. This thesis will also argue that, coupled with tariff and purchasing preferences assistance, received from all levels of government, the provision of integrated logistic support services from Newcastle’s public utilities and education services underpinned its successful commercial development. The availability of good coking coal and an operational port first attracted the steel industry to Newcastle. The BHP steelworks was operational in 1915 and by 1921 it had been joined by three new downstream steel fabrication companies which manufactured forged rolling stock products, steel wire and steel sheet products. Led by Harold Darling, Chairman of the BHP board, and Essington Lewis, BHP’s Chief General Manager, the steelworks and the downstream fabrication companies developed and consolidated their manufacturing and financial positions during the 1920s. In parallel with growth of the steel companies, the Newcastle-based public utilities and heavy engineers, which provided the industrial logistic support base on which the steel industry relied, developed in parallel. The combination of organisational changes, government support and the introduction of improved technologies progressively lowered the cost of steel manufacture and increased the Australian steel industry’s competitive position. This was a factor which enabled the NIH to survive and recover from the Great Depression of the early 1930s. The Great Depression was immediately followed by a boom in industrial growth by the Australian steel industry. In parallel with this manufacturing growth, from 1935 the NIH was progressively prepared for war. The declaration of war in 1939 found the NIH ready to manufacture the wide range of steel products and munitions required for war in quantity, until the end of the conflict in 1945. War encouraged innovation in the NIH, with a number of special products developed and manufactured by the BHP steelworks and each of the steel fabricators. The labour shortages which ruled between 1942 and 1944 saw female workers recruited to work in the steel industry for the first time. However, economic uncertainty at the end of the war saw an eruption of industrial relations problems in the steel and coal industries. This caused considerable industrial disruption between 1945 and 1950. In 1950, Darling died and Lewis retired, but with these driving forces gone the NIH was left seeking strategic direction, a problem that was not overcome until the 1960s.

Chorography is a historic practice in which specific geographic regions were represented in text-based and illustrated forms. Chorographic works are qualitative and interpretive. They showcase select details of the region, unlike broader geographic and topographic approaches. Historic chorographic works include decorated medieval maps and written itineraries. Contemporary chorographic works embrace a wider range of forms including visual artworks, paintings, prints and computer-based publications such as eBooks. In both a historic and contemporary context, the content and form of each chorography is dependent on the individual chorographer, their interest, purpose and audience. This practice-based research investigates how a chorography of a bushland region can be recorded using a natural history illustration (NHI) methodology. Through a literature review the key criteria of chorography are established and then used to inform the development of my chorographic work. The defining quality of a region is that it must be replicable. Thus, for the purpose of this research, the region selected to be chorographed is the remnant vegetation on the Callaghan Campus of the University of Newcastle, Australia, known as the ‘Bushland Campus’. The bushland on campus comprises four ecological communities. Employing a NHI methodology, the research process involves first identifying and observing fauna and flora in these ecological communities through interdisciplinary fieldwork. Fieldwork is then interpreted through NHI practice methods in a studio-based enquiry and illustrations are produced. Finally, the individual illustrations are contextualised within a chorography of a bushland region in the form of an interactive and responsive webpage.

▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Residential retrofitting provides multiple possibilities for effecting action and change in the home. Yet, current research and policy making has been dominated by analyses grounded in techno-rationalist thinking which emphasises the role of technology and information transfer in determining people’s actions. This techno-rational focus bounds the means through which action and change are understood to occur. It simultaneously occludes and forecloses other existing and possible arenas of retrofit action and change. The aim of this thesis is to set out an extended conception of what retrofit is and what it might do from those commonly advanced under a techno-rational agenda. This thesis explores the different practices occurring at multiple scales, and the component systems, actors and relations that configure the use and provision of residential retrofits. This attention to these heterogeneous and relational associations begins to unbound the techno-centric, rationalistic and essentialist categories against which the contribution of retrofit is commonly assessed. In this thesis, I draw together a socio-technical perspective with assemblage thinking as a basis for decentring the dominant techno-rational paradigm. The conceptual bearings of social practice theory provides an analytic that attends to the situated, socially-embedded and practiced constitution of retrofit across multiple practice bundles. The analytics of assemblage thinking provides an opportunity to extend the social practice analytical gaze to incorporate a multi-scalar imaginary, while also attending to the role of materiality and processes of formation and change in retrofit systems and practices. As a whole, this analytical orientation provides a means of exploring the socially and materially produced, practiced and distributed assembling of residential retrofit. It points to the indeterminate and fluid qualities of retrofitting as it is made and re-made through manifold practices. In doing so, it reveals practices of retrofitting to be vibrant and capacious, realised amid complex socialities, spatialities, materialities, desires, expectations and competences—all of which make up potential determinants of action and change. This thesis documents how residential retrofitting is configured and reconfigured as part of the socio-material practices through which householders and professionals assemble retrofits in everyday life. I combine documentary analysis with (i) 23 semi-structured interviews with industry and building professionals and (ii) 20 observational walk-and-talk interviews, photographs and diary entries with retrofitting householders in Newcastle, Australia. Through these I explore the multiple ways that retrofitting is practiced, assembled, experienced and manifest. The insights gained offer new ways of thinking through the possible terrains of retrofit intervention and how to support and nurture its transformative potentialities.

▼ From 1959 to 1989 the
NSW Government Printing Office (hereafter ‘the Gov’) was a government-run printing establishment that operated from a centralised factory in Ultimo, Sydney. Over a 30-year period marked by dramatic technological change and political transitions, the Gov was pulled in conflicting directions by traditionalists, unionists, economic rationalists and those somewhere in between. It was also one of the first Australian factories to open printing apprenticeships to women. This combination – technological change, the rising influence of neo-liberal economics and gender-labour tensions – made for an unsettled institution. In mid-1989 the state government abruptly closed down the Gov and 700 people lost their jobs.
This thesis operates on two levels: it offers both an historical and a methodological contribution to knowledge. At an historical level Precarious Printers is an exploration of how the Gov’s workers – from labourers to managers – coped with technological, social and political change. This has brought to light many aspects of the Gov’s culture of working life (everyday practices and unofficial stories) and it indicates the important presence of objects, technologies and spaces as they exist in memories of working life.
Two central coping practices are identified: building alliances and unofficial creative production. Firstly, the Gov’s employees came to grips with their circumstances by developing alliances with people and/or technologies. This involved staking out territories spatially or by developing their skills. Some workers clung to their skills, traditional tools and collective practices. Others enthusiastically embraced new technologies with an individualistic drive for self-improvement. Secondly, many of the Gov’s employees enacted their own narratives – of resilience, belonging and of industrial decline – through unsanctioned creative practices. This came in the form of photographs, film, pranks and the unofficial production of printed materials (foreign orders).
The key theoretical and methodological contribution of this dissertation is a demonstration of how labour history can be effectively drawn together with considerations of material culture. As a case study, the Gov reveals how the politics of work is intertwined with the physical and designed world. This dissertation provides a method for analysing labour, technology and industrial history that retains the voices of the workers and adds a relevant consideration of spaces, objects and embodied experience. Correspondingly, this research draws upon a number of disciplines: labour history, sociology, the history of technology and studies of material culture and design. Primary source materials include oral history, photographs and archives.
Rather than simply aestheticising past technologies and industrial spaces, Precarious Printers finds that material culture, technology and spatial dynamics are significant elements in an analysis of working life and in developing an understanding of people’s adaptive responses to…

▼ This thesis investigates the relationship between the child welfare and criminal justice systems (termed 'care-criminalisation') as experienced by a cohort of children in the
NSW Children's Court criminal jurisdiction to identify: 1. the rates of appearance of children in out of home care (OOHC) before the
NSW Children’s Court on criminal charges; 2. whether this appearance rate is disproportionate; and if so,3. what factors are leading to that over-representation.A sequential mixed methods methodology was adopted, comprising the collection of qualitative data and analysis followed by quantitative data analysis. The qualitative methods involved a literature review of leading academic papers in the area, an assessment of over 200 years of Royal Commissions, government reports, previously unpublished primary source documents and agency material, an examination of contemporary media commentary (such as newspaper articles, radio and television broadcasts) and analysis of 25 years of
NSW Parliamentary Hansard. The quantitative methods assessment involved analysis of 180
NSW Children’s Court files from 2009-2010, observational research of cases and analysis of the transcripts of individual Children’s Court matters. This thesis identified that children in OOHC are over-represented in the criminal justice system (CJS) compared to their non-care peers. Further analysis revealed that the OOHC cohort had a different experience of CJS compared to other children. There was a statistically significant difference between the two cohorts across several key measures. Children in OOHC first came into contact with the CJS earlier and incurred their first charge at a younger age than children who had not been in care. Males in OOHC were particularly affected. Children in OOHC in this study were also more likely to be remanded for bail breaches and spent longer in custody than their non-care peers.There are complex and interconnected reasons for the care-crime nexus. Through an exploration of the processes and policies of the
NSW child welfare system, this thesis has shown it is inexorably linked to the manufacturing of delinquency and children’s involvement in the criminal justice system.

▼ This study set out to examine the decision-making process in care proceedings brought before the Children’s Court involving allegations of domestic violence as a child maltreatment concern in accordance with
NSW Children and Young Persons (Care and Protection) Act, 1998. The growth in understanding of domestic violence as a specific category of child maltreatment has seen increased attention and involvement of an array of professionals in the child protection field including statutory caseworkers, solicitors, and other external services working with children and families. Court decisions encompass risk assessment and immediate and long term safety planning. They also involve professionals navigating both shared and individual language in the process of assessment. What constitutes the specific risk of domestic violence, and decision-making in cases involving domestic violence is often contested in care and protection matters. This study utilised qualitative methodology, specifically applying a case study approach involving both a prospective and retrospective review of cases. The retrospective review followed a series of cases from the commencement of the court case, to the finalisation of orders. A parallel retrospective review of archive cases and court files from Community Services was undertaken. Central to this study was examination of the role of professional stakeholders, their assessments and contribution to court decision-making. The findings in this study highlight that much professional decision-making occurs prior to proceedings. The decisions made in all reviewed matters were found to be the result of the coalescence of professional knowledge, interpretation and interagency collaboration. Professionals developed discourses of risk, compliance, insight and safety in their assessments. Such assessments formed a narrative of domestic violence characterized by an emphasis on summarising patterns within key incidents, evaluating the parent’s ongoing relationship dynamics and parenting capacity. Significantly, in this narrative, an inability to separate from a violent partner was indicative of a lack of maternal protectiveness. Additionally, childrens’ age and gender influenced the assessment of the impact of violence on individual children. These interpretations informed the court’s evaluation of evidence of domestic violence and its impact on children as well as the proposed interventions and care plans necessary to ensure children’s safety

▼ Through the efforts of thousands of dedicated men and women
classical music obtained a privileged position in Sydney in the
early twentieth century. This neglected area of Australia’s
cultural history was part of a transnational phenomenon which has
divided historians and musicologists. Does it demonstrate the
imposition of elite culture from above or did it emerge from the
combined energies of those who believed that classical music
might provide genuine benefits for the whole community?
Contributing to a body of literature on the social history of
classical music in Europe and the United States, this thesis
incorporates a Bourdieuian analysis examining the creation of
classical music in Sydney from the perspective of key
stakeholders: entertainment entrepreneurs, musical institutions,
performers, composers and audience. It focuses on the interaction
between these stakeholders to consider the field of classical
music as a dynamic, constantly evolving arena of interaction
where the personal and political intersect. It takes into account
social, economic, political and technological developments as
Australia established itself as an independent nation grappling
with a rapidly expanding population, modernity and the rise of a
politically engaged working class.
Such an approach brings into question previous accounts of the
development on classical music in Australia which have focused on
the role of the government owned Australian Broadcasting
Commission (ABC) rather than the efforts of multiple
stakeholders, community groups and committed individuals. It
provides a new perspective that demonstrates the complex and
iterative nature of social change and suggests ways in which our
musical choices have come to define who we are.

▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
This thesis examines historical, political, regulatory and economic aspects of gambling policy in New South Wales (NSW), with specific emphasis on the evolution of electronic gaming machine (EGM) gambling as a key element of the State’s fiscal policy. This includes analysis of major regulatory initiatives, including a review of contemporary parliamentary and press material surpassing any identified comparable research on gambling and EGM policy in NSW. It was established that although policy has generally been made on isolated, ad hoc bases, precedents and contexts for subsequent legislation have resulted. It is demonstrated that although these events are prima facie unrelated, they collectively form part of an expansionary progression, largely impelled by governments’ pursuits of taxation revenue. In order to investigate outcomes of this progression, empirical research on EGM gambling over the three terms of the Carr Labor Governments (1995 to 2005) was also undertaken. Access to the restricted, comprehensive NSW EGM gambling database for this period permitted a comparatively more detailed and definitive analysis of EGM gambling than has previously been possible. The empirical research adopts two alternative measures of EGM distribution. These are a conventional ‘EGM density’ measure (the ratio of population to EGMs) and the introduction of a concentration measure, the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (Herfindahl Index). This results in a novel comparative approach to assessing EGM distribution. In addition, regulatory practice and previous studies in the field have customarily relied on the use of one measure of socioeconomic status (SES), ordinarily being the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ Socioeconomic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA), to assess impacts. This study extends its comparative approach by also adopting a second SEIFA index. The application of Repeated Measures Analysis of Variance (RM ANOVA) testing to the data resulted in identification of statistically significant distributional differences among groups of LGAs on the basis of SES.The findings have implications for policy development, regulatory practice and further research on how these differences affect tax impacts. The thesis establishes that assessment of EGM policy and impacts is to some extent contingent on the measures used in the assessment process. This is particularly relevant to the measure of SES adopted, in which distinct differences were detected, based on the SES characteristics employed. Regarding the distributional findings, EGM gambling measures based on the Herfindahl Index approach were also found to behave differently to orthodox metrics. The importance of these methodologies lies in their applicability to the practical regulation of gambling. The thesis is a contribution to the further understanding of how public policy formulation and implementation in a policy field that is central to government fiscal planning has evolved. The findings indicate that alternative policy determinations…

▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Gardens in public housing have been theorised as spaces where tenants can be managed, monitored, up-skilled and encouraged to participate in their communities. Such features of gardens, and the analysis of these features, are undoubtedly useful in a multitude of ways. However, gardens in public housing are more than just spaces of tenant participation. They are also critical everyday spaces where gardeners make home, make community, and forge connections with neighbours, families, and practitioners. This thesis takes Horton and Kraftl’s (2005) conceptualisation of the more-than-useful into the garden. More-than-useful geographies are open to accounts of everyday experience that are sometimes overlooked or undervalued in framings directed by an interest in problem solving or policy relevance. At the same time, such geographies recognise that the useful and more-than-useful are, in many ways, co-constitutive. By building a framework that gathers together insights from literature on everyday life, gardens, and housing studies and home, the thesis is alive to the possibilities of garden stories outside of a policy relevant framing. It reveals the ways in which, while policy and programs can be a vital part of the experiences of gardens, there are always other, just as valuable, goings-on in gardens that warrant consideration for their own sake. The thesis examines these goings-on through a case study of gardens in public housing in two very different areas of NSW, Hamilton South, in Newcastle, and Bidwill in Western Sydney. It explores what gardens do and how they are made from several different angles that collectively extend the more-than-useful into housing studies via the garden, while also making contributions to everyday life literature. Firstly, it analyses how Housing NSW has historically positioned gardens in public housing as ‘useful’ spaces. The thesis then turns to more-than-useful stories from the gardens, unpacking how garden spaces are produced through everyday material practices contingent upon different dwelling structures and the varying agency involvement in each of the case study sites. As well as material practices, storytelling practices about gardens are also critical to how gardens are brought into being and valued. Through the practices that make and maintain the gardens, gardeners also make particular types of spaces. Gardeners make homey spaces and community spaces, enrolling gardens in a variety of domestic and communal performances that are meaningful and valued. Such performances are inherently leaky: the formal and informal, the everyday and extra-ordinary, the garden and the non-garden all work together in the performance and experience of everyday life. Through conceptualising ‘leakiness’, the thesis makes claims about the powerful and vital understandings made possible through the more-than-useful approach, its capacity to enrich the useful, and moreover, the unexpected ways such understandings matter.

▼ Anthropogenic trace element pollution comes from a combination of urbanised catchment areas, road surfaces, stormwater outlets, mining sites, sewage overflows, soil erosion and illegal discharges, as well as atmospheric emissions. Estuaries play an important role as sinks for trace elements and other pollutants which can be detrimental to aquatic ecosystems and human health via the food chain (flora and fauna).
The objective of this research was to assess how field and laboratory techniques could be used to investigate and understand the spatial and vertical distribution of trace element pollution in marine sediments. Additionally, an assessment of the applicability of lower cost techniques to permit similar investigations in remote or less-developed regions has been made. A total of 428 surface sediment samples, along with 51 subsurface samples from eight cores in the Botany Bay and Port Hacking estuaries, New South Wales, Australia, were collected. Contemporary techniques were used to measure all samples. These techniques included a Malvern Mastersizer 2000 to obtain sediment grain size, Xray fluorescence (XRF) to measure the total trace element concentrations, X-ray diffraction (XRD) to identify mineral percentages, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) analysis for lead isotopes. The findings of trace element concentrations were plotted using the Kriging method of interpolation in the ARC geographic information system software, as well as applied risk assessments and statistical analysis, hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA).

▼ This research investigated a new community-based model of continuity of care provided collaboratively by a small team of midwives and obstetricians (St George Outreach Maternity Project or STOMP). The study considered whether STOMP improved maternal and neonatal clinical outcomes, resulted in a better experience for women and could be implemented within the current resources of a public teaching hospital in Sydney, Australia.
A randomised controlled trial using a Zelen design was used to compare the STOMP model with standard care. One thousand and eighty-nine women were randomly allocated to either the STOMP model or standard hospital-based care. The Zelen design was used to increase the participation of women from non-English speaking backgrounds and to reduce disappointment bias in women allocated to the control group. The results suggest that the model of community-based continuity of care is associated with a lower caesarean section rate, more positive experiences for women and costs less than standard care. There were no differences in the number of medical complications experienced in either group, but more women in the control group were admitted to hospital during the antenatal period. There were four perinatal deaths in each group.
Women in the STOMP group reported a higher quality of antenatal care compared with the control group. Women in the STOMP group also reported that the community-based service was accessible and convenient with reduced waiting times for appointments.
Women in the STOMP group were more likely to have received adequate information about labour, birth and the postnatal period and felt more 'in control' during labour compared with the control group. Women from both groups reported problems with postnatal care, particularly when provided in the hospital.
The study also examined the impact of the STOMP model on women from Chinese and Arabic-speaking backgrounds. The STOMP model appeared to reduce the rate of elective and emergency caesarean section in Chinese-speaking women compared with
English-speaking women. Small numbers precluded statistical analysis on these data so the results must be interpreted with caution. Women from Chinese-speaking backgrounds reported receiving insufficient information. The STOMP model improved the provision of information, however Chinese-speaking women still reported inferior experiences. There were also differences in the method of infant feeding.
The results indicate that the model provides effective, cost efficient and satisfying maternity care. New models of maternity care can be implemented within current resources when organisations have a strong commitment to change.

▼ This thesis identifies strategies that will help alleviate the burnout experienced among aged-care workers in Sydney. Specifically, the study investigates the factors contributing to burnout in the human services sector with particular application to two aged-care facilities.Burnout among carers has been a major concern for many years in health care fields. Previous studies of the issue have generally focused on examining
the causes of burnout and the associated consequences. However, there seems a lack of studies which suggest interventions for the alleviation of burnout. The literature in this field has identified ten factors pre-disposing carers to burnout in the aged-care industry. In this study the factors are categorised into three major groups: fixed, moderate and non-fixed factors. To gather data to achieve the research goals, a qualitative interview approach was employed. Data was elicited from twenty-five survey participants grouped as follows:
ten assistant nurses, eight nurses, three facility managers and four relatives of those in care. Participants were selected from the Canterbury Domain Principal Aged Care facility and the Frank Vickery Lodge of the Wesley Mission at Sylvania. A version of the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory was adapted and used as a verification tool for interviews completed by those participating in the study. Major factors identified as influencing burnout among aged-care workers included:
problems with facility staffing, the lack of ethics (or otherwise described as a breach of duty of care), and the unrealistic expectations of relatives. Recommendations arising from the study findings include: a review of training for aged-care workers, promotion of the professionalism of the aged-care profession, regulation with regard to the staff-resident ratio, and synergistic collaboration between relatives and staff. There are significant challenges to the development and maintenance of a healthy aged-care workforce in Australia. Although the data in this study is generated by
small cohorts from only two sites, the strategies identified might be applied to those sites and have wider application potential for the well-being of aged-care workers in other aged-care facilities.

▼ This thesis is an interdisciplinary theoretical and empirical analysis of the diversion of individuals with cognitive impairment from the NSW Local Court pursuant to section 32 of the Mental Health (Forensic Provisions) Act 1990 (NSW) (‘section 32’). This thesis approaches section 32 through an interdisciplinary analytical framework that has theoretical and empirical dimensions. The thesis draws on analytical tools from Foucaultian theory, critical legal and political theory and critical disability studies. The thesis’s interdisciplinary theoretical analysis of section 32 is illuminated and augmented by drawing on two sets of empirical data on section 32. The first set of empirical data is linked institutional data on the diagnostics, demographics and criminal justice pathways of a sample of 129 individuals with cognitive impairment who have received section 32 orders and have been incarcerated during their lives. The second set of empirical data is the transcripts and court file data of section 32 court matters made by a small sample of individuals with cognitive impairment. The central argument or thesis of the thesis is that section 32 enables the criminal legal regulation of individuals with cognitive impairment who are otherwise beyond such regulation because they exceed the limits of trial, conviction and sentence. This criminal legal regulation is possible, necessary and realisable because of the production of these individuals through the determination of their section 32 applications as impaired criminal legal subjects. The thesis identifies a number of effects of this regulation: section 32 furthers the criminalisation of individuals with cognitive impairment in the criminal justice system, marginalises the social, political, historical, material and institutional dimensions of the identities, circumstances and criminal justice pathways of individuals with cognitive impairment, promotes associations between cognitive impairment and deviance, risk and the need for management, and contributes to the ordering of the criminal law jurisdiction. Ultimately, while diversion and cognitive impairment sit at the margins of critical legal scholarship, the thesis’s analysis of section 32 establishes that diversion and cognitive impairment should actually be located at the core of critical and political engagements with the criminal law. The thesis begins in Chapter One by providing an overview of the legal framework of section 32. It does this through discussing section 32’s legislative framework, and offering an overview of the history of section 32 and the current law reform issues around section 32. A detailed appreciation of section 32’s legal framework is an important foundation for the thesis’s analysis of section 32. This is because it reveals the provision’s coercive and punitive effects and the consistent increase in these dimensions over the course of section 32’s development, as well as the ever-increasing use of community disability and mental health services in relation to the administration of section 32…

▼ Despite the burgeoning contemporary interest in education history, there has been an absence of literature documenting the histories of Physical Education (PE), School Sport (SS), and Health Education (HE) in New South Wales (NSW) public schools from 1880 until 2012. This gap was significant in the wider context of the NSW education system as all three subjects were operating throughout this period. Another noticeable gap in the literature was that of a combined history of these subjects, which could be explained based on the lack of clarity, until now, concerning the nature of the relationships between them, despite their coexistence in the NSW public education system. The literature that does exist reflects histories of the subjects in isolation, with a notable prominence of research into PE compared to SS and HE; however, these histories tend to be narrow in scope rather than situating developments and changes in these subjects within broader political and social contexts. Therefore, this study filled these gaps by chronicling the individual and collective histories of these subjects in the NSW public education system, spanning from the introduction of compulsory schooling in this state in 1880 up to the release of the draft Australian Curriculum for Health and Physical Education in 2012 (Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority, 2012a, 2012b), which marked the first official shift from a state-based to a national approach to curriculum in this subject area. These rich and comprehensive histories of PE, SS, and HE were produced by addressing the following two major research questions: (1) what factors influenced the historical development of the individual subjects in NSW public schools from 1880 to 2012?; and (2) how did the factors driving curriculum development and change affect the relationship and status of these subjects from 1880 until 2012? A history of education methodology was used to record the curriculum developments and changes in PE, SS, and HE through the analysis of primary and secondary documentary sources. The implementation of the theoretical framework of curriculum history by Goodson (1983) and Musgrave (1973, 1978, 1979, 1988) enabled this study to present a timeline of the events in light of past traditions and factors influencing the subjects as individual and combined entities from 1880 to 2012. Together, the application of a history of education methodology and curriculum history theory provided the opportunity to delve into the interplay of the relationships between these subjects, their shifting status over time, and the broader contexts shaping them during the span of this history. It was the application of theory to the historical analysis that revealed the subjects were socially constructed and in turn elicited the major themes of this study. By viewing PE, SS, and HE as social constructs, this thesis signposted significant politico-social contexts and events in NSW, Australian, and international history as driving curriculum developments and paradigm shifts in…

▼ Part 4B of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 (NSW) provides that it is unlawful to discriminate on the ground of carers’ responsibilities in work. The Anti-Discrimination Board (‘ADB’) administers the AD Act and with the relevant Tribunal is responsible for a two-stage enforcement process. During the decade the ADB received more than 550 carers’ complaints, with only 12 heard at the Tribunal. This thesis uses a realist ‘law in action’ theoretical lens, looking at but also beyond an analysis of Tribunal jurisprudence to explains how Part 4B has been given meaning and applied, in practice, based upon empirical research of the ADB complaints and education functions. Two research questions are answered: 1) How do the ADB and the Tribunal apply Part 4B and does it give effect to its objectives? 2) Is the enforcement process capable of providing ‘good’ outcomes, such as compensation, reasonable accommodation and/or potentially broader systemic and normative outcomes? It is argued that the Tribunal has operated in a policy vacuum, emphasising a hostile, lengthy, adversarial process. Outcomes have been poor, with only two complaints upheld and inadequate compensation the remedy. Its decisions provide limited normative/precedential value. Accommodation is an unlikely and impractical remedy. In contrast, free of an adjudicative role, the ADB has taken a purposive holistic policy-driven approach. Its publications interpret Part 4B as implying a duty of reasonable accommodation which is likely to have had an important normative effect among employers and workers in NSW. The ADB provides an informal and timely complaints resolution process where complainants achieved remedies including compensation, accommodations, and systemic outcomes. It is concluded that properly funded discrimination agencies can encourage compliance with the law; prevent discrimination; achieve accommodation; and provide an accessible complaint mechanism for worker-carers.

▼ Precise Point Positioning (PPP) employs readily available Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) orbit and clock correction products to perform point positioning using a single GNSS receiver. Over the last 20 years, the New South Wales (
NSW) state government has invested in Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) infrastructure, currently comprising a 200-station network providing cm-level positioning using differential Network Real-Time Kinematic (NRTK) GNSS techniques to a growing market of commercial users who rely on this service. However, in remote western
NSW, it is not economically feasible to maintain the same station density to enable NRTK services. In the last 10 years, developments in PPP, including Real-Time PPP (RT-PPP) and Ambiguity-Resolved PPP (AR-PPP), have allowed PPP to potentially offer a viable alternative to NRTK positioning without the need for such a high station density. This thesis investigates the development of PPP over the last 10 years from a practical perspective and highlights the advantages and disadvantages of this positioning technique. Existing static PPP services are found to be adequate for shortened observation periods. The various methodologies and advances in RT-PPP and AR-PPP services are presented. Three separate case studies using large real-time data-sets found potential for these techniques in remote areas lacking dense CORS network coverage. Multi-constellation GNSS and multi-frequency GNSS showed promise for improving initialisation times for real-time ambiguity resolution techniques, even for single-frequency PPP, which will be important for mass market users in the future. Satellite-based delivery of correction services over
NSW was tested using the Japanese QZSS service in an Australian first static and kinematic PPP case study. Despite of all these advances in PPP methodology, this thesis has found that PPP, in the near future, will not be able to replace conventional NRTK, but can offer national or regional positioning solutions at specified accuracies, or as a ‘fill-in’ service for practical use in sparser local/regional CORS networks.
