Name	Thesis	Citation
Tahlia Adele Hart	Underaged & Digitally Engaged: Adolescent Use of 'Adult-Based Platforms'	Various online websites and apps are created for adult use, such as dating platforms. These platforms are popular with adult users; however, minors also access and use these services despite age restrictions. Research of underage use of adult-based platforms is minimal. This thesis explores the journey adolescents take on adult-based platforms from their awareness of the platforms through to their reflection of their underage experiences. Underage use was found to be informed by the seductive nature of technology and online environments, adolescent development, and individual technological skillsets. Underage users encountered both entertaining and risky experiences with the platforms and other users. This thesis is the first to research underage adult-based platform use in its totality. It provides insight into the experiences of adolescents in online environments, as well as what policy responses could be introduced to reduce the occurrence of this issue in the future.
Thomas Jupe	State Responsibility for Genocide and the Lens of State Crime: An Interdisciplinary Case Study of the Rohingya of Myanmar	Myanmar’s official military has carried out violent targeted attacks against the state’s Rohingya population. The international community has responded through action against the relevant individuals in the International Criminal Court, and action against the state in the International Court of Justice. However, international law has a historic on individuals for committing crime. No state has been found to have committed genocide yet.This thesis questions whether responsibility for committing genocide should be attributed to Myanmar, leading to a finding that doing so is both legally possible, and a necessary step forward in the development of law. Rather than focussing on a small group of individuals, state responsibility for committing genocide acknowledges the state’s true involvement in causing harm. The symbolic value of this decision can provide the foundation for reflection upon the state’s deviant goals and underlying discriminatory narratives, which is essential for establishing peace and security in the region.
Komalee Nadeeka Damayanthi Mahamadachchi	Investigating the implementation of the 2007 National Solid Waste Management Policy in Sri Lanka	Municipal solid waste management is in crisis in contemporary Sri Lanka. This research investigated the factors influencing implementation of the 2007 National Solid Waste Management policy in Sri Lanka. The challenges of policy implementation in a complex institutional and legal system are magnified by the limitations of decentralisation, the latitude created for poor governance, corruption, and politicisation. The absence of political and bureaucratic support, and the complexity of the associated institutional and legal frameworks, has led to less coordination and the absence of clarity over policy responsibilities at different levels of government which, in turn, has presented significant challenges. This thesis makes a significant and original academic contribution addressing the knowledge gap in policy implementation by applying the Multiple Streams Framework to an empirical case. This has produced previously unavailable analysis that enhances understanding of the root causes of municipal solid waste management challenges in a complex devolved governing system.
Elvio Anthony Sinopoli	Social Harm In The Australian Gig Economy: An Approach To Determine Accountability Of Gig Companies And Their Algorithms For Harming Gig Workers	The thesis investigates the range of social harms that affect workers in the Australian gig economy. Companies like Uber or Airtasker are classifying their workers as independent contractors and are managing work through algorithms, shifting all costs and burdens on these workers who are often part of the most vulnerable social groups in Australia, like temporary migrants or women. The Australian laws do not provide protections for gig workers because they are not employees, while parliaments and judges are not ready to grant legal protections. This research is important to attribute accountability for social harm beyond the current laws, indicating a policy that looks at any financial, physical, psychological, legal or other social harms caused by the gig company through unequal terms and conditions in the agreements with gig workers, and/or the unintentional harmful effects of the use of algorithms.
Pei Jie Tan	Junk or Jewel: Content, Users and Sales Effectiveness of Supermarket Catalogues	This thesis delves into one of the oldest and most widely used marketing tools: supermarket catalogues. With over $2 billion dollars spent on catalogue promotions annually, they continue to be effective despite the rise of digital technology. However, there is a significant gap in evidence-based decision making for catalogue design, with most decisions based on intuition and untested assumptions. Over two in five Australians read the catalogue for price discounts and promotions, making it an effective tool for attracting a specific audience with certain characteristics such as being price-conscious, deal-prone, low-income, and less likely to seek variety. The thesis proposes that catalogues have the potential to increase both mental and physical availability, going beyond just price reduction advertising, thereby increasing their value for all stakeholders involved. This thesis emphasizes the importance of evidence-based decision making for catalogue design and highlights the potential for catalogues to be leveraged in new ways.

Robert James deWet-Jones	Earth Mounds, Mussels and Typha: Innovation in Aboriginal procurement strategies on the River Murray floodplain, Calperum, South Australia	The thesis investigates the mid to late Holocene lifeways of Aboriginal people living on the Calperum floodplain in the South Australian Riverland. The excavation and examination of six Aboriginal earth mounds located in the floodplain are explored. The evidence indicates that Aboriginal people adopted an innovative food production system at ~3800 cal BP involving large scale earth oven cookery incorporating the use of river clay as heat retainer. This behavioural change occurred at approximately the same time as the onset of reduced water flow and increased salinity within the floodplain linked to the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) related weather patterns and involved the intensive exploitation of Typha rhizomes. The evidence has enabled a consideration of both ‘intensification theory’ and the broadening of diets in relation to Aboriginal populations at Calperum, and more broadly within the Murray Darling Basin, from the mid Holocene.
Lisandra Linde	Creative Artifac: Life/Myth; Exegesis: To Be Oneself and Not: Persona as a Source of Agency (and Play) in the Literary Essay	This thesis explores the uses of persona in the literary essay. It argues that the concept of narrative persona is key in understanding how essayists achieve intimacy and agency in their work. The literary essay is a hybrid form which plays with the boundaries between fiction and nonfiction. Persona aids this hybridity and offers avenues for the exploration of agency and intimacy. The research for this thesis was done through a case study of Australian author Charmian Clift, as well as a creative artefact. The creative work consists of a book of essays exploring different approaches to persona and textual self-representation. The use of persona in literary essays has been largely overlooked in scholarship. This thesis aims to fill this gap in knowledge and show the creative possibilities of using personas in the literary essay in the twenty-first century.
Rebecca Lindsay	Settler Reading Postures: Reading Ruth in Settler Colonial Australia	This thesis builds on contrapuntal reading strategies to explore the entanglement of the Bible with colonisation in Australia. It examines how ‘Settler’ Australians might read biblical texts in ways that do not perpetuate colonial structures. Each chapter of the book of Ruth is read alongside a text with Indigenous authoring and a theme from settler colonial Australia. This reading process opens out new interpretive possibilities for biblical texts and simultaneously reflects on the Australian context through the accompaniment of the Ruth narrative. In bringing these texts into dialogue, the unfolding conversations disrupted the original intention of this thesis, which was to produce a Settler biblical hermeneutics. Instead, these conversations lead to four reading postures for Settler bodies: feet on the ground, being in relationship, ceding control, and attending to justice. These postures may assist towards emplaced and embodied reading of both the Australian context and the biblical texts.
Susan Veronica McClements	Cotutelle: Classic-ing on the Australian mainstream stage	Australian theatre has a slender canonical spine that is bolstered by the weight of plays counted as ‘classic’. The term itself actively fashions a sense of the past. For a young nation with an ancient and contested history, the relationship to ‘classic’ has specific postcolonial resonance. In Australia, staging a classic involves constructing a sensation of classic. This thesis explores classic as an action, classic-ing, that reaches across the production process from theatre artists and companies to audiences and critics. Four case studies examine six classic dramas produced between 1995 and 2016 by Australian mainstream theatre companies. The analysis is augmented by artist interviews and archival research. Classic-ing is explored as a socially determined endowment by an actor in performance, a modified category ‘affinity classic’, and gaining prescriptive charge with the term ‘Australian classic’. Classic-ing is an axis that is relevant to the diverse cultural meanings of theatre in Australia.
John Richard Pitt	Fact, fiction, faction: rehearsing social work through [novel] autoethnography	This thesis places myself as an autoethnographer in the cultural context of Australian statutory child protection social work. I seek to make an original contribution to knowledge by revealing the practice of social work as distinct from its place within the academy. This is further explored through a creative artefact – Fiction – to provide commentary on statutory social work that is otherwise hidden from view and. My cultural background as a white, entitled male born in England and re-settled in Australia in 2004 is a separate, yet conjoined, area of research – Fact. This draws on a personal archive, diaries and other writing, that casts light on my intellectual and sentimental development, as well as giving insight on how, late in my life cycle, I chose to re-train as a social worker. Fact, Fiction and Faction are blended in a virtual performance dedicated to a life-story.
Lee Rachel Rippon	Prisoner of War Diplomacy: Australian Prisoners of War in Italy and Australian Foreign Policy, 1939-1947.	Australian soldiers taken prisoner by Italian forces between 1940 and 1942 are often described as “our forgotten soldiers”. More than two thousand Australian soldiers captured in North Africa and, to a lesser extent, Greece and Crete, were detained in POW camps in Italy. At a similar time, even larger numbers of Italian POWs were sent to Australia. This thesis investigates how the capture and detention of POWs in Italy and Australia created a series of problems for Australian authorities, and how those authorities addressed POW issues by political and diplomatic means. It investigates the extent to which Australian government policy and practice were driven by the practicalities of war, obligations under international law, and other considerations associated with Australia’s perceived national interest. In doing so it promotes an understanding of Australia’s evolving relationship with Britain and the empire, the global diplomatic landscape and government policy.
Kari Dee Vallury	Abortion stigma in a pro-choice world: a mixed methods study of abortion stigma in Australia	International evidence shows that abortion stigma is pervasive and has a range of health and social impacts. However, in Australia there is a dearth of abortion stigma research. This thesis presents the first Australian – and largest global - study of the extent, predictors, drivers, and experiences of abortion stigma. In this thesis, Ms Vallury reports the findings of a survey of 58,000 Australians and an interview study with 20 young people. Her study identifies the extent of perceived and anticipated abortion stigma in Australia, and the population groups most impacted. It has implications for how we research, theorise about, and address abortion stigma and inequitable access to reproductive health care. At its heart, this research offers detailed insights into how and from where abortion stigma gets its power in a pro-choice society.
Claire Whitley	Gender and comedy in post-Bridesmaids Hollywood cinema: the rise and fall of the Womance Comedy	This thesis identifies the unique industrial and cultural context in which Bridesmaids (2011) was released and argues that the film’s success instigated a film cycle, which Ms. Whitley terms the "womance comedy" cycle, irreversibly changing how women are depicted in popular media. Utilising studies of industry and culture, this research captures how Hollywood engaged with the political and social turbulence of the late 2010s and makes an argument for the womance comedy's significance as an indicator of the state of popular feminism during this time.
