Into the Wind
The subtropical lifestyle of this vibrant river city, with the rush and tear left behind when two young hopefuls headed north in an old blue panel van, was now ours. Our children could grow in our adopted city and state — beautiful one day, perfect the next. We popped the cork of our sparkling white wine. The clock ticked towards midnight. With one little Croweater and two little Sandgropers snug in their Sunshine State beds, we clinked our glasses. Our future looked bright — the year, 1989.
Keeping the Peace Volume II
Keeping the Peace Volume II, like its predecessor, is bound to become an important resource for social historians, legal academics and indeed anyone interested in the evolution of police administration and law enforcement in Queensland.

I Know Who Killed Betty Shanks
Queensland’s oldest cold case has been a mystery for over 60 years. It is widely accepted that the murder of Betty Shanks in 1952 at Wilston ended the age of innocence in Brisbane. Despite an extensive investigation and widespread media coverage over the years no one has ever been charged with the murder; nor has anyone ever been regarded as a prime suspect. Over the years, six men apparently confessed to the murder, but police are reported to have proved that none of them could have done it. This book supplies the answer supported by compelling circumstantial evidence.
Easy Prey
Easy Prey is a systematic and thorough evaluation of Australia’s capability in defending itself as an independent nation from the perspective of the history of its military intelligence. The quality and timeliness of military intelligence is a cornerstone of sound national security. In three volumes, Easy Prey explores the successes and, more notably, the shortcomings and all-too-frequent stumbling in Australia. It ranges across a panoply of involved parties: the military; the politicians; the early days of the colonies, then later, the states and the Commonwealth; the early settlers; the geographic imperatives; the ‘Mother Country’; a horde of others, especially the Russians, French and Japanese. The more things change, the more they stay the same. The genesis of many of today’s problems is traced back through our colonial and early federation history. Easy Prey draws lessons that will be valuable in informing future strategy and decisions.
The Regulation of Medical Products
This book develops a theoretical framework for examining and assessing the regulatory arrangements for medical products. Since the first half of the 20th century, the regulation of pharmaceuticals, medical devices and, more recently, biologicals have been controlled in many jurisdictions by specific regulatory regimes and agencies. Their regulatory mandates are similar – to ensure the quality, safety and efficacy of medical products. This book provides a timely and relevant assessment of the complexities of medical regulatory regimes, by drawing on a particular theory of political legitimacy. In this respect, the book adopts a ‘dialogic’ approach – according to which a shared set of ...
Walking to Corroboree
Walking to Corroboree is a gentle story that tells of the harmony that existed between the land and the First Australians who walked softly on it for at least 60,000 years. The language of the “Adnyamathanha” people of the Northern Flinders Rangers in South Australia is embedded throughout the storyline. It is an honour and a privilege given to the reader to incorporate one of the few Aboriginal languages still spoken today.
