Steps towards improved participation? An analysis of classroom talk and the "ladder of interaction" in the Japanese context AdissertationbyTimMarchand March2010 submittedinpartialcompletionoftheMScdegreeinTeachingEnglishtoSpeakersofOtherLanguages Abstract

Non-Anglo-ethnic branch member recruitment is a relatively new phenomenon in the Victorian ALP, possibly dating from the 1970's. Branch stacking is not. Branch stacking is popularly regarded as an evil, and the party will takes steps to reduce that activity of branch stackers after every media exposure. The practice can be reduced, but it can never be eliminated while the party allows for mass membership participation in party affairs. Ironically some people see branch stacking having benefits to the party and to its factions, as well as to certain ethnic individuals. The party needs to manage the practice if it is not to suffer electoral damage.

Although the nonhuman animal rights movement in the West is frequently framed by activists and remembered by historians as gender-neutral, Donaldson’s (2020) Women against Cruelty (which examines meeting notes and campaigning documents reaching back to the movement’s founding in the early 19th century) demonstrates just the opposite. Women’s affinity for anti-speciesist activism within the context of a prevailing sexism which pitted all female pursuits as lesser-than would prove a difficult hurdle to surmount with regard to social movement resonance. This is not to reify or reduce women’s contributions. Women against Cruelty catalogs a diversity of feminine and feminist approaches to advancing the interests of nonhuman animals: some religious, some scientific, and some intersectional. Many women favored educational outreach, while others relied on rational debate, shocking images, direct intervention, and legal resistance.

The Bracks Government reformed Victorian local government voting procedures in 2003. Those reforms required the use of the quota-preferential (single transferable vote) method of proportional representation for all multi-councillor wards. This was to replace the multiple-majority-preferential system that was used previously, the same voting system (considered by advocates of proportional representation to be discredited) for Senate elections from 1919-46. The Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC), a statutory body, conducts a representation review which, after submissions from interested parties, recommends a structure for each council, for approval of the Minster for Local Government.
