Because mobility is associated with rural social decline, this two-phase cross sectional study investigates whether social patterns in small, rural Australian towns are affected by commuting. Quantitative data, which was gathered via a mail-out questionnaire (response = 54 per cent) that was issued to 1,040 occupationally diverse professionals who worked in fourteen towns throughout north-western Victoria, was analysed to determine whether commuting and non-commuting professionals differed significantly in their community involvement.

Abstract:

In Mabo v. State of Queensland (No. 2) (1992) 175 C.L.R. 1, the majority of the High Court held that ???native title??? had survived the acquisition of sovereignty over the Australian continent and is ???recognised??? by the common law. However, all the judgments failed to articulate clearly either the nature of native title as a legal form, and the relationship of that legal form to the common law, or what is meant by ???recognition???. Twelve years later the High Court has still not provided a satisfactory understanding of any of these matters. The central problem investigated by this thesis

This thesis is a doctrinal analysis of the legislation and case law in Australia regulating destruction of the fetus in the contexts of third party crimes against the pregnant woman, abortion, and conscientious objection by doctors to participating in abortion.

The Australian labor market is characterized by a culturally diverse workforce. This in large part stems from the high representation of migrants in the workforce. In fact, the representation of migrants is reportedly higher than in most immigrant nations, including the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States of America (US). Nonetheless, in some of these countries, in particular the US, it appears there is an ongoing interest to ascertain whether or not there are discrepancies in the job satisfaction of workers from various cultural backgrounds.

Abstract:

The gap between environmental attitudes and behaviour prompts consideration of social structural barriers to pro-environmental action. A mixed methods exploratory sequential design was used to understand the relationship between environmental identity and social status of pro-environmental behaviours. Environmental public-identity was found to be a part of a higher order construct of environmental identity, which predicted engagement in pro-environmental behaviour. High status pro-environmental behaviours were costly, effortful, and visible, replicating the status quo.

Abstract:

Plutella xylostella L. is a global pest of cruciferous crops. A new, closely-related Australian taxon, P. australiana, was identified in 2013, with significant potential impacts on market access and on introduction of biological control agents in Australia. Cytochrome oxidase 1 'barcode' sequencing and comparison of the genitalia of adults collected from 3 states in Australia (including Tasmania) and New Zealand identified significant morphological similarity between the two taxa, and two features that can be used to differentiate adult females of the two taxa. Larval collections identified tw

Abstract:

Biological profiles (ancestry, sex, age and stature) of skeletal remains assist with the identification of missing persons. Standards for estimating the sex and/or stature for the humerus of an Australian population are yet to be developed. This research aims to develop sex and stature estimation equations for the humerus specifically for a Queensland population. Samples consisted of humeral PMCT Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) datasets from a contemporary Caucasian Australian adult sub-population, aged between 17-90 years, obtained from the Brisbane Mortuary and QUT's M

Abstract:

Overweight and obesity are two of the most important emerging public health issues in our time and regarded by the World Health Organisation [WHO] (1998) as a worldwide epidemic. The prevalence of obesity in the USA is the highest in the world, and Australian obesity rates fall into second place. Currently, about 60% of Australian adults are overweight (BMI „d 25kg/m2). The socio-demographic factors associated with overweight and/or obesity have been well demonstrated, but many of the existing studies only examined these relationships at one point of time, and did not examine whether significa

Abstract:

The problem under investigation in this project is the apparent continuity in the social, cultural and historical acceptance of dominant claims to truth which position children as variously vulnerable, dependent and passive social actors-in-waiting: constructions which produce limitations in the conditions of possibility for their 'protection'. My aim has been to consider critically whether these fundamental and taken-for-granted assumptions have been discursively (re)produced in a select few of Western Australia's child protection policies. The central disciplinary discourses through which th

Abstract:

As the leading cause of death and disease in Australia, Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) places a significant burden on society. There are many lifestyle factors that are known to increase the risk of CHD. This study looks at both risk factors and protective factors of CHD. Research also shows CHD prevalence to be predicted by socio-economic status (SES) variables. This study aims to identify the extent to which risk and protective factors predict CHD prevalence in an Australian National survey and whether the association between risk factors and CHD is confounded by SES variables.

Abstract:

This was a phenomenological study undertaken to understand women's experience of the workers' compensation system. Eleven women were interviewed. They ranged in age from twenty-five to sixty-five years and represented diverse socio-economic and educational backgrounds. All women were from a non-indigenous background. The initial question to women was "Can you tell me what it is like to be involved in the workers' compensation system?" The narratives were analysed and interpreted using Hycner's (1985) phenomenological guidelines. Five core themes were found: negative versus positive/neutral exp
