Scott Ewing - Getting Ethics Approval
To make the most of the session on Research Ethics you should familiarise yourself with the material to be found here. I would suggest at minimum printing off the actual form and looking over that. You may want to start filling it out or at least thinking about possible problems or questions. I'll give a brief introduction to the whole process but will try to keep most of the session for your questions.
A document from Swinburne Research that details the context of the ethics process and common problems with applications can be found here.

Ben Rankin - The Evolution of Victorian Water Legislation
Victoria’s earliest days were dictated by the requisite need for water. Originally known as the Port Phillip District, it was widely believed that the landscape was perfectly suited to civilised, small-scale settlement and would inevitably become a ‘Little England’ in the Antipodes. However, the pastoral surge and rapid population growth due to the gold rushes subsequently challenged this ideal. In these respects Victoria’s water history is foremost a story of providing and limiting access to water in response to the competing notions of settlement. The second half of the nineteenth century is dominated by legislative attempts to assert the yeomanry tradition and establish an effective framework for the control of Victorian water resources. My research is focused on the evolution of this framework and the implications and consequences it holds for subsequent administrations.
