Abstract:

After the outbreak of the Second World War in Europe in September 1939, emergency internment legislation passed by the Australian Federal Parliament created a network of camp sites across Australia. What do these historic landscapes mean in Australia today and how can we interpret them? Some feature government-installed interpretation signs; others remain silent concrete ruins concealed within private farmland, unmoored from any context and living memory. These sites are connected to other Allied internment sites globally, and the journeys between these sites vividly rendered in artworks, diaries and letters left behind by internees as well as the isolated cemeteries where they were buried adrift between continents.

Abstract:

Pasca PD II Australia mencari sandaran negara besar pengganti Inggris dalam politik pertahanannya. Di dalam Defence White Paper 2009 era Kevin Rudd, Australia menyatakan bahwa kebijakan pertahanan yang baru salah satunya adalah Self-Reliance yang intinya adalah kebijakan yang mengarah pada pertahanan kedaulatan dengan berdasarkan prinsip kemandirian. Defence White Paper 2009 ini sangat berbeda dari kebijakan pertahanan Partai Buruh sebelumnya era Pemerintahan Hawke-Keating. Dalam hal ini, arah kebijakan dalam Defence White Paper 1987 dan Defending Australia 1994 adalah memprioritaskan aliansi dengan Amerika Serikat. Sejak Perang Dunia II, setelah �terlepas� dari Inggris. Pandangan strategis dan perencanaan pertahanan Australia dibentuk atas perubahan lingkungan internasional serta distribusi kekuatan global, khususnya keunggulan strategis Amerika Serikat. Amerika Serikat telah memainkan peran stabilitator di seluruh dunia dan khususnya di kawasan Asia-Pasifik. Hubungan pertahanan Australia dan Amerika Serikat yang sudah terjalin lama dan berlangsung harmonis, hal ini memberikan dampak bagi kebijakan pertahanan Australia. Artinya bahwa Amerika Serikat selalu menjadi dasar pilihan dalam setiap kebijakan pertahanan Australia. �Ketergantungan� dengan Negara besar membawa Australia pada citra sebagai �pihak asing� di kawasan Asia.

Abstract:

The specific aims of this study were determined on a conceptual appreciation that management of information assets and services in some government agencies was deficient in meeting both existing and developing demands. This appreciation manifested itself in a commitment to investigate the principles and processes intrinsic to existing management methodologies, to relate these processes to the needs of users, and to determine a strategy which could more ably meet the information provision requirements of those users. The achievement of these aims predicated the use of the case study research method, selecting as the first case study the Department of Human Services and Health (DHSH), an agency that had recognised that a problem existed in the provision of information services, and had initiated action to address that problem. As a counter, the Department of Defence, an agency which adrmts to a problem, but which had yet to initiate an active, global program for its resolution, was chosen as the second case study. A theoretical model, which reflects extant international thinking and practice, was initially constructed in order to establish a basis on which to ascertain and evaluate the information management circumstances of the two case study departments. This model specified the objectives considered to be fundamental to effective information management in a public service environment. It included studying the foundation repositories of information services from which information in the portfolio domains of government are sought. These services are the traditional records centres or registries, the library services which provide a repository of published and grey material in printed, image and magnetic formats, and the computerised networks holding electronic records at varying levels of development. An analysis of findings was carried out separately on each case study agency before bringing the data together for cross-case analysis. In order to maximise the veracity and validity of the data collected and its subsequent interpretation by the researcher, the draft analysed case study findings were submitted to the respective agencies for review and critique. All matters of substance received have been incorporated in the final version. The findings from the two case studies and the cross-case analysis confm that, despite significant advances in some specific agencies, the initial hypothesis that government agencies are still deficient in providing optimum services to meet the information needs of users, is demonstrated. The advances that have been made, however, similarly support the other thesis hypotheses that the implementation of an integrated information management strategy in any government agency will provide a foundation for improved information provision and the timely delivery of relevant available information to the user. Finally, a model of optimum processes involved in such a strategy, derived from the theory and practical products of this study, is offered. This could be the subject for future evaluation and testing for realistic and functional application.

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with the conjunction of two themes. The first is the new tempo of Australia's security relationship with Japan. Since the late 1980s, governments in Canberra and Tokyo have increasingly called for greater partnership in pursuing shared security interests in the Asia-Pacific theatre. This development has been largely a result of the rise of Japan as a major international power, and a corresponding revival of doubts about the role of the US, hitherto the predominant power in the region. These questions about Australia's strategic environment have been thrown into sharp relief by the second theme of the thesis - the impact of the end of the Cold War on the international and regional order. The forces that precipitated the Cold War's demise, and its after effects, have raised fundamental questions about the international system, not least being for Australia, its future security environment and defence ties. This thesis, therefore, focuses on the intersection of emerging trends in one of Australia's major bilateral relationships and in the strategic order. The thesis is accordingly divided into two elements: an examination of the evolution of Australia-Japan ties and the recent development of defence links, and an analysis of the key systemic forces which will influence the future development of these links.

Abstract:

The degree and nature of government involvement in the production of war materials has changed markedly in recent years. This dissertation traces events that have occurred and the background to these. It attempts to put in context, changes that have taken place particularly over the past decade, and which to date have not been placed in a connected sequence or described as part of an overall plan. The dissertation commences with a brief outline of the growth of defence industry in Australia and its subsequent decline in size and performance during the last forty years. From this base, it looks at options which faced governments at the beginning of the 1980's, decisions which were made, and the reasons for those decisions. It then goes on to examine whether the "best" options were followed from a number of viewpoints. These include defence strategic considerations, matters of probity and equity in the disposal of assets, (particularly the public good), as well as the impact on those affected by the decision. The process of change, including the extent to which decisions and their effects were scrutinised by external and auditing agencies, is then considered. The experience in this country has to a large extent paralleled, although lagged, that in the United Kingdom. Accordingly, appropriate references are brought from the UK experience to highlight alternatives to, or weaknesses of, the processes followed and policies implemented locally. Finally, the essay provides some discussion of the benefits and costs which have been observed so far, as well as postulating options which may be taken in Australia as the process of change continues.

Abstract:

This dissertation focuses on the local defence-related industry as a beneficiary under the Department of Defence’s defence industrial participation (DIP) programme, managed by Armscor. Attention is given to the main construct of the development theory and how the DIP process in South Africa compares with the international reciprocal trade phenomena commonly referred to as ‘countertrade’. The author does an in-depth analysis of the Government’s policy regarding the defence-related industry (DRI) that forms part of the local defence industrial base (DIB), as well as the DIP policy, procedures and practices and their subsequent bearing on the local defence industry. The study is further substantiated with a comprehensive review of the consequences and outcomes resulting from the largest defence package deal (SDP), signed in December 1999, between the Department of Defence and several major foreign original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and subsequently benchmarked against academic discourse on the subjects of international countertrade and development theories.

Abstract:

Defamation laws truth defence the oldest, most obvious and principal defence has failed Australian media defendants. Few who mount the defence succeed. Many, discouraged by the defences onerousness, do not even attempt it. As a consequence the journalistic articulation of matters of public concern is stifled. This thesis argues that the limitations of the Australian truth defence are inconsistent with established freedom of speech ideals and the public interest in having a robust media. As a result society is constrained from enlightened participation in public affairs. This thesis proposes reforms to alleviate the heavy demands of the defence so as to promote the publication of matters of public concern and to strike a more contemporary balance between freedom of speech and the protection of reputation. These reforms employ defamation laws doctrinal calculus to reposition the speech-reputation fulcrum. While defamation law has for decades attracted reform attention, the truth defence has languished by the wayside. This thesis steps into the breech. The cornerstone of this thesis is a proposal to reverse the burden so that the plaintiff bears the burden of proving falsity of the defamatory publication where: the complainant is a public figure; the matter complained about is a matter of public concern; and the suit involves a media defendant. While this proposal is likely to dramatically alter the prevailing Australian freedom of speech/protection of reputation equilibrium, other measures are proposed to serve as a bulwark against the wanton destruction of reputation.

Abstract:

Throughout history, Australia and New Zealand have developed a special relationship due to their close geographic proximity and their similar cultural and colonial backgrounds. Ever since 1986, when New Zealand was suspended from the trilateral Security Treaty Between Australia, New Zealand, and the United States of America (ANZUS), Australia has been New Zealand's closest ally. As a result, the thesis specifically focuses on trans-Tasman defence relations after 1986, with a particular emphasis on attitude trends towards the bilateral defence relationship. Overall, the thesis aims to find out whether there has been a drift in the bilateral defence relationship between Australia and New Zealand since 1986. In this regard, it examines two main questions: first, is the Australian-New Zealand defence relationship is less close today than it was in 1986? The thesis findings show that there has indeed been a visible drift in trans-Tasman defence relations. In both countries, the relationship is much less talked about today than it was in 1986. Second, do Australians and New Zealanders view the bilateral defence relationship any more negatively today than they did in 1986? As the results show, the disagreement over defence spending, New Zealand's decision to restructure the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) as well as the ANZUS split were the main factors that have brought about some distance between both countries' defence policies and priorities. However, beside the downs in the bilateral defence relationship, there have also been ups embodied by the sometimes rather elusive Anzac spirit, the optimism that surrounded the creation of Closer Defence Relations (CDR) in the 1990s and, most notably, enhanced trans-Tasman cooperation in peacekeeping, primarily in the immediate regional neighbourhood. Importantly, Australians and New Zealanders do not see the defence relationship any more negatively today than they did in 1986. Indeed, opinion trends at all societal levels have been remarkably constant over the last two decades. Based on these findings, the thesis concludes that the bilateral defence relationship may well become closer again in the future, especially if both countries continue their close cooperation in regional peacekeeping. This appears to be the most promising way ahead for the Anzac defence relationship in the 21st century.

Abstract:

In Australia, 6000 military personnel leave the military each year, of whom at least 30% become unemployed and 19% experience underemployment, figures five times higher than the national average (Australian Government 2020). Believed to be one of life's most intense transitions, veterans find it difficult to align their military skills and knowledge to the civilian labour market upon leaving military service (Cable, Cathcart and Almond 2021; AVEC 2020). // Providing authentic opportunities that allow veterans to gain meaningful employment upon (re)entering civilian life raises their capability to incorporate accrued military skills, knowledge, and expertise. Despite acknowledging that higher education is a valuable transition pathway, Australia has no permanently federally funded post-service higher education benefit supporting veterans to improve their civilian employment prospects. Since World War II, American GIs have accessed a higher education scholarship program (tuition fees, an annual book allowance, monthly housing stipend) (Defense 2019). A similar offering is available in Canada, the UK, and Israel. // We are proposing that the AVSP would be the first comprehensive, in-depth study investigating the ongoing academic success of Australia's modern veterans as they study higher and vocational education. It consists of four distinct components: // Scholarships: transitioning/separated veterans apply for one of four higher education scholarship options (under/postgraduate): 100% tuition fees waived // $750/fortnight living stipend for the degree duration // 50/50 tuition/living stipend // Industry-focused scholarships. // Research: LAS Consulting, Open Door, Flinders University, over seven years, will follow the scholarship recipients to identify which scholarship option is the most relevant/beneficial for Australian veterans. The analysis of the resultant quantitative and qualitative data will demonstrate that providing federal financial support to student veterans studying higher education options: Improves the psychosocial and economic outcomes for veterans // Reduces the need for financial and medical support of participants // Reduces the national unemployed and underemployed statistics for veterans // Provides a positive return of investment (ROI) to the funder // May increase Australian Defence Force (ADF) recruitment and retention rates // Career Construction: LAS Consulting will sit, listen, guide, and help build an emotional connection around purpose, identity, education and employment opportunities back into society. So, the veteran can move forward, crystalise a life worth living, and find their authentic self, which is led by their values in the civilian world. // Mentoring: Each participant receives a mentor throughout their academic journey.

Abstract:

South of Campbelltown, wedged between Sydney’s two great rivers, where the Georges and the Nepean almost meet is Macarthur. In the early 1810s, to go beyond Campbelltown was to leave the authority of colonial Sydney - a colonial ultra vires frontier. Here are squarehouses that date from the mid-1810s, some were built during the height of Sydney’s frontier wars, before the 1816 Appin Massacre, which secured colonial control over all of Macarthur. These squarehouses are archaeologically intriguing as they are almost square, not large, have thick sandstone walls, some have ‘slot openings’ and others small openings. Were these squarehouses built with a defensive premise in mind, the openings for use as ‘gunloops’ as much as ventilation? If so they would be architectural evidence of the frontier wars. The suggestion is that these small squarehouses, often overlooked as just an outbuilding in the homestead aggregation, were among the first buildings built on a property. If built on contested land, its presence would have acted as notification of a land claim, while its physical structure provided a bolthole from which one could defend life and property - a private blockhouse. Blockhouses existed right across the British settler empire, with common standards constructed for defence in frontier areas from South Africa to New Zealand, Canada and the United States. So it should be no surprise to find them at the beginning of colonial NSW and yet it is, and this raises questions as to why this distinctive colonial structure is missing in Australia. The placement of these squarehouses and the prospect of their loops - their surveillance isovists over creeks and valleys, would provide historical insight into the colonial consolidation of these landscapes.

Abstract:

The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed Australian National Repository for low and short-lived intermediate level radioactive waste was submitted to Environment Australia for approval in the summer of 2002 and has subsequently undergone a consultancy phase with comments sought from all relevant stakeholders. The consultancy period is now closed and responses to the comments have been prepared. This paper describes some of the issues relevant to determining the radiological risk associated with the repository to meet the requirements of the EIS. These include a brief description of the three proposed sites, a description of the proposed trench design, an analysis of the radioactive waste inventory, the proposed approach to developing waste acceptance criteria (WAC) and the approach taken to determine radiological risks during the post-institutional control phase. The three potential sites for the repository are located near the Australian Department of Defence site at Woomera, South Australia. One site is inside the Defense site and two are located nearby, but outside of the site perimeter. All have very similar, but not identical, topographical, geological and hydrogeological characteristics. A very simple trench design has been proposed 15 m deep and with 5 m of cover. One possible variant may be the construction of deeper borehole type vaults to dispose of the more active radioactive sources. A breakdown of the current and predicted future inventory will be presented. The current wastes are dominated in terms of volume by some contaminated soils, resulting from experiments to extract U and Th, and by the operational wastes from the HIFAR research reactor at ANSTO. A significant proportion of the radionuclide inventory is associated with small volumes of sources held by industry, medical, research and defence organisations. The proposed WAC will be described. These are based on the current Australian guidelines and best international practice. The preliminary radiological risk assessment considered the post-institutional control phase in detail with some 12 scenarios being assessed. These include the impact of potential climate change in the region. The results from the risk assessment will be presented and discussed. The assessment work is continuing and will support the license application for construction and operation of the site. Please note that this is not the final assessment for the licence application.

Abstract:

One of the few acoustic travelling wave systems (TWS) in the world has been developed by Defence Science and Technology Group Australia (DST). This system uses acoustic excitation of blisks by means of a high-powered speaker cluster. The response to this acoustic excitation is measured by a laser doppler vibrometer which shows the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the blisk. To date, this system has been verified and validated on a simple, twelve-bladed research blisk with a maximum error of 3.78% from FEM modal and harmonic analysis. Furthermore, the system has been refined and tested on a current in-service blisk with an accuracy of approximately 1%. This study outlines how the TWS has been used to investigate the effects of mistuning on blisks. Promising results have been achieved with the system able to accurately identify changes in resonant behaviour due to mistuning with correlation to finite element modelling predictions. The limitations are also outlined, along with suggested areas of research and improvement. This may ultimately result in the ability to verify manufacturer blending limits and assess the effect of foreign object damage and repairs on the dynamic response characteristics of a blisk without a complex and labour intensive mechanical spin rig investigation.
