The limits of primary care
In this unit we explore questions of access to community services. To make what might be quite a dry task more challenging we use a fictionalised case study of two people for whom access to community services is particularly problematic. Jim and Marianne are both long-term heroin addicts. Additional problems associated with their addiction are homelessness and physical illness. Their situation raises both practical questions, about how services can be accessed, and moral questions, about entitle

A Panel Discussion with George Soros
Lessons from Financial Crises: Paradigm Failure and the Future of Financial Regulation In October, George Soros delivered a week-long series of lectures at the Central European University in Budapest discussing his latest thinking on economics and politics, and the way forward out of the current financial crisis. Soros argued that while the magnitude of the credit and leverage problem faced today is greater than in the Great Depression, the artificial life support given to the financial system h
In the Wake of Economic Reform: New Prospects for a National Building State
Has economic reform run its course? What potential remains for the
resumption of nation building progress? Contrary to expectations
Canberra emerges from 20 years of neo-liberalism with disciplined
government, ample revenues, an effective regulative apparatus and –
perhaps – the capacity for government to steer the economy towards a
brighter future.
In this lecture, Professor Pusey weighs these prospects against the
negative impacts of neo-liberalism on our institutions and th
Quarry Vision: Coal, Climate Change and the End of the Resources Boom
In this lecture Dr Guy Pearse will spoke about the mindset that sees Australia's greatest asset as its mineral and energy resources - coal especially, asking how has this distorted our national politics and our response to climate change and what happens now that our coal-fired resources boom has gone bust? He also discussed the future of the coal industry and argued with the current economic orthodoxy. He looks at the shadowy world of greenhouse lobbyists; how they thin
Does China Play By Our Rules And How Much Does It Matter
The arrest of Rio Tinto executive Stern Hu, and more recently China's cancellation of a ministerial visit over Canberra's decision to grant a visa to Uighur figurehead Rebiya Kadeer has put Australia-China relations sharply in focus. Relations between these key trading partners appears rocky at a time many would have envisioned ties to be getting warmer. China's behaviour has prompted many to look at China's internal politics and rule of law, as well as the price paid for dealing with China and
Risk, Uncertainty & The Future of National Security
Officially we are still fighting a "War on Terror", but few people in
Australia would say we are still living in an "Age of Terror". Oil
prices have quadrupled, but we have not seen the same panicked queuing
at petrol stations as when this last occurred. This lecture launches an
important new book, Uncertainty and Risk: Multidisciplinary Perspectives ,
by discussing how risk and uncertainty inform the democratic politics
of national security; and more specifically, how the management of
national
