Abstract: This article takes stock of the making of anti-terror laws in Australia since 11 September 2001. First, it catalogues and describes Australia's record of enacting anti-terror laws since that time. Second, with the benefit of perspective that a decade brings, it draws conclusions and identifies lessons about this body of law for the Australian legal system and the ongoing task of protecting the community from terrorism.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the role of emphathy and imagination in the process of refugee determinations on the basis of sexuality, and explore how to translate the experience of sexuality and culture not just into the international and national framework of refugee law, but also into something that is intelligible to themselves.
Abstract: In refugee determinations on the basis of sexuality, Western decision-makers have to come to terms with a very other Other, a lesbian or gay man from a different culture. They must translate that experience of sexuality and culture not just into the international and national framework of refugee law, but also into something that is intelligible to themselves. This paper explores the role of emphathy and imagination in that process.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the corporate governance system of Australia's listed market has many of the characteristics associated with insider systems, such as institutional investor activism, private rent extraction, market for corporate control and blocks to information flow.
Abstract: [This article concerns the classification of the corporate governance system of Australia’s listed market. Claims are often made that it is an outsider system of ownership and control, similar to that of the UK and the US. Through an examination of share ownership patterns, institutional investor activism, private rent extraction, the market for corporate control and blocks to information flow, this article argues that the corporate governance system of Australia’s listed market in fact has many of the characteristics associated with insider systems. The misclassification of the corporate governance system of Australia’s listed market has significant impacts for the general classification of insider and outsider systems, as it may be an example of an insider system converging to an outsider system. The misclassification also has significant impacts for the Australian reform agenda, as reforms based on the assumption that the Australian listed market has an outsider system of corporate governance may be inappropriate and damaging.]
