The Commonwealth, states and territories are responsible for regulating and enforcing the laws in their jurisdictions. The model work health and safety laws are the basis for harmonised laws across Australia. For the model work health and safety laws to become legally binding they need to be enacted or passed by Parliament in each jurisdiction. Under the Intergovernmental Agreement for Regulatory and Operational Reform in Occupational Health and Safety all jurisdictions have committed to adopting the model work health and safety legislation, with minor variations as necessary to ensure it is consistent with relevant drafting protocols and other laws and processes operating within the jurisdiction. Safe Work Australia is a tripartite...

...Monitoring sustainability with a monitoring system that is itself sustainable: addressing the cause and the symptoms IAN WATSON,1 AND PAUL NOVELLY, 2 1 Department of Agriculture and Centre for Management of Arid Environments PO Box 483 Northam, Western Australia, 6401 Ph 08 9690 2000 Fax 08 9622 1902 iwatson@agric.wa.gov.au 2 Department of Agriculture and Tropical Savannas CRC Kununurra, Western Australia ABSTRACT Throughout the 1970s and 1980s much effort was expended on a range monitoring program in Western Australia. Unfortunately, much of the system put in place is now inactive. Such a situation is not unique and the rangelands of the world are littered with monitoring sites that are no longer part of an operating system. A need has emerged for a biodiversity monitoring system in the rangelands and the discussion is currently at the point where the range management discipline was in the early 1970s. Efficiencies can be made when developing the biodiversity monitoring system by learning from the experience of the range management profession. Monitoring sustainability will only be possible if the monitoring system is itself sustainable. We suggest a number of attributes for the system that need to be in place before the system can be judged at all sustainable. These attributes are a mix of biophysical, social and institutional and highlight the view that monitoring systems of the type being suggested constitute an unusual mixture of attributes not found in...

...Covenant Action Plan is issued following the demerger of Cadbury and Schweppes in Australia. After a long and fruitful partnership Cadbury and Schweppes are going their separate ways in 2009. This new action plan provides Cadbury with the opportunity to re-baseline the National Packaging Covenant KPIs based on Cadbury data, and reset our targets. The National Packaging covenant initiatives fit well within our Global Environmental Programme, called ‘Purple Goes Green’. Cadbury has a global target of 10% reduction in packaging as part of our Purple Goes Green commitments. This target has been publicly stated, and programmes to meet the target are subject to ongoing assessments to ensure they are on target. Cadbury has enjoyed significant benefits from a number of good results of initiatives designed to reduce packaging and it’s environmental impacts throughout the supply chain. We are proud of our achievements, including: • The average percentage of Post Consumer Recycled content in our packaging continues to increase, reflecting ongoing success in influencing our suppliers to provide recycled content materials. • ECoPP has been included in our product design review processes with the use of the “Packaging Impact Quick Evaluation Tool” (PIQET). PIQET was developed through the RMIT Centre for Design and funded by a small industry group. PIQET was commissioned as a web format in May 2008 and our Australia Packaging design...

...MPE711: Global Trade and Markets ASSESSMENT GUIDE In both assessment 1 (presentation) and assessment 2 (written research article) you will be required to work in a group on the same research topic. Groups should consist of 3 to 4 individuals. Exceptions to this can be made for offcampus students if they can demonstrate difficulty in finding group members. You are free to form your own groups, whether through face-to-face contact or by using the ‘group formation’ forum on CloudDeakin. Ensure once your group is formed that you register it on CloudDeakin. You are required to finalise your group formation by the second week of trimester. GROUP WORK TIPS Your group will benefit from diversity. You are encouraged to form groups with a broad range of skills covering quantitative analysis, writing, editing skills and leadership skills. You should also try to form groups that cover diverse industry groups and cultural backgrounds. You should consider appointing a leader for the group. The role of the leader is to coordinate meetings and set deadlines. However, the group should still agree on decisions made by the leader and the group cannot expect the leader to bear responsibility for the group’s performance. At the initial stage, avoid assigning different tasks to each member. You are encouraged to work as a group, meaning you should first think about the project as a whole, write down some bullet points, and then meet together to work out a plan prior to the assigning of tasks...

...Best Practices To Support Asian Women Who Have Been Trafficked Into Australia for the Sex Trade: a research proposal It has become evident that our service, Women’s Community Centre, is experiencing a growth in the number of Asian women using our facility. A review of the case notes has revealed symptoms and histories that would indicate that many of these women may have been trafficked into Australia for the purpose of sex slavery industry. As a social worker, at the Women’s Community Centre, there is a need to research issues surrounding this cohort of women and the best practices that may be implemented to support them without causing further risk of harm. I ask that the board of Women’s Community Centre support this research. Human trafficking is described by the United Nations (2009) as the acquisition of persons by improper means, either by force, fraud or deception, with the explicit aim of exploiting these persons. World Vision (2012), state that people who are trafficked are placed into many different exploitive situations. These include: ‘commercial sex workers, sex shows, pornography….. non-commercial sexual exploitation through marriage’. They also note the rise in online sexual exploitation through the use of video-cams and the internet. Literature Review With the increase number of Asian women, who are presenting to our service, who state they have been bought to Australia and now find themselves ‘bonded’ and working in the sex trade industry, it has...
