Author: Andrea Durbach Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 288 In 1985 Andrea Durbach was appointed solicitor on the notorious Upington trial in South Africa in which 25 people were arrested for the murder of a local policeman. Fourteen were eventually sentenced to death. For the ensuing four years, Andrea's life was inextricably linked with those of the defendants as it was to the barrister on the case, Anton Lubowski, who became her closest friend. After the largest court case in South African legal history, eleven defendants had their sentence reduced. Four months after the remaining fourteen defendants were sentenced to death by hanging , Anton Lubowski was assassinated. Shortly afterwards Andrea moved to Australia - a move that she considered temporary and found extremely painful, separating her, as it did, from the country and people she loved, and the struggle she supported. In 1991, after the successful appeal against the Upington 14's death sentence, Andrea settled in Australia permanently. Only now, several years later, can she begin to understand the extraordinary events which overtook her life. At the time, journalists and publishers chased Andrea to write her story, as did several leading Australian filmmakers but she felt too close to events to put into words her remarkable personal and political journey. Now, from the relative safety of Australia, this extraordinary woman feels able to share her story, describing both the events of the time and the remarkable personal price she had to pay for the struggle. It is also an exploration of emigration, and the meaning of home. And it is - dare I say it - a story of the triumph of the human spirit. Secondhand, Paperback.…

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The publication of the Poverty Commissions Law and Poverty in Australia Report (the Sackville Report) in 1975 was a landmark event in the history of Australian law reform. Since that time, and as Australia has become a more unequal society, there has been no systematic overview of the inter-relation between law and poverty in Australia. This book attempts to fill the gap by bringing together a range of experts from civil society, the legal profession and academe, including the disciplines of law, social science and criminology.\nThe book provides an inventory of progress made over the past four decades with regard to the many proposals contained in the original Law and Poverty Report. The overall conclusion is that the scorecard is uneven. Substantial implementation of the reforms has occurred in many areas, such as consumer and tenancy law. Despite initial progress in other areas, such as tax law, legal aid and social security, there has been deterioration. \nIt also highlights some important aspects of poverty and law not contained in the original Report: the intersection of the experiences of LGBTI people, poverty and law; the international dimension of law and poverty in light of globalisation; and the critical importance of tax rules in relation to poverty. \nThe book concludes by identifying critical areas for reform to address the legal problems that poor people confront. They include: cuts to legal aid and community legal centre funding; security of tenure for residential tenants; redistribution of the tax burden; regulation of the power of government agencies, such as social security and the police; and greater security in the sphere of employment law.\nIn the media\n\nJustice Ronald Sackville, Vicki Sentas, Professor Brendan Edgeworth and Scarlet Wilcock on ABC Radio National, Law Report with Damien Carrick_16 May 2017 Listen to interview.\nLaw and Poverty in Australia: 40 years after the Poverty Commission, Inside UNSW Law, Issue 3, 2017_19 May 2017 Read article.\n The publication of the Poverty Commission's Law and Poverty in Australia Report in 1975 was a landmark event in the history of Australian law reform.

Paperback. Etat : New. Cultural heritage law and its response to human rights principles and practice has gained renewed prominence on the international agenda. The recent conflicts in Syria and Mali, China's use of shipwreck sites and underwater cultural heritage to make territorial claims, and the cultural identities of nations post-conflict highlight this field as an emerging global focus. In addition, it has become a forum for the configuration and contestation of cultural heritage, rights and the broader politics of international law. The manifestation of tensions between heritage and human rights are explored in this volume, in particular in relation to heritage and rights in collaboration and in conflict, and heritage as a tool for rights advocacy. This volume also explores these issues from a distinctively legal standpoint, considering the extent to which the legal tools of international human rights law facilitate or hinder heritage protection. Covering a range of issues across Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and Australia, this volume will be of interest to people working in human rights, heritage studies, cultural heritage management and identity politics around the world.…
