Symposium 2011: Labour Market Evolution
On 29 November 2011 the Whitlam Institute, in partnership with the University of Western Sydney School of Economics and Finance, presented this symposium, Labour Market Evolution, at the InterContinental Hotel, Sydney.
The Hon Barry O'Farrell, Premier of New South Wales delivered the Opening Address, and The Hon Mike Rann, former Premier of South Australia and former ALP National President, delivered the luncheon address.
The symposium offered the opportunity to take a step back and consider ideas and options for maintaining a strong labour market with a sustained commitment to full employment that better balances the imperatives for economic growth and equity, and address the notion of well-being as a goal of economic policy.

The Northern Territory Intervention and Human Rights
The Northern Territory Intervention is the subject of as much debate today as it was three and a half years ago when the 'emergency reform package' was introduced. As the Intervention continues, it's time to take stock and search for a just response to the complex problems it sought to address.
In November 2010 the Whitlam Institute published Dr Mary Edmunds' essay The Northern Territory Intervention and Human Rights: An Anthropological Perspective. Prompted by the very warm reception this paper received, the Institute, together with the Human Rights Council of Australia, convened this special public forum hosted by Minter Ellison on May 17, 2011.

Why is education reform so hard?
March 2011, Sydney
The Hon. David Bartlett, former Premier and Minister of Education in Tasmania, provided some reflections on the significant reforms undertaken in Tasmania in recent times. He was joined by The Hon. Nick Greiner, former Premier of NSW, and Professor Brian Galligan from the University of Melbourne.
This Seminar was run as part of an ARC supported project on Federalism and Australian Schooling by the University of Melbourne & the Whitlam Institute within the University of Western Sydney with the Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development & the Foundation for Young Australians.
This project seeks to investigate the impact of federalism on Australia's system of schooling and to investigate changes in the federal arrangements that would potentially increase the capacity of schooling to deliver better quality and more equitable outcomes.
