This history of the Northern Territory pastoral industry outlines how, for almost a century, cattlemen were subject to the tyrannies of distance and drought. Distance vitally affected time and cost of travel, income and quality of life. Similarly, geographic and environmental factors - especially drought - determined stocking rates, created mustering problems and affected the quality of livestock turned off, and overall profitability. |

Forgetting Compliance: Aboriginal Health and Medical Culture | ||
Kim Humphery and Tarun Weeramanthri with Joseph Fitz
ISBN 1 876248 59 9 PB 122pp 249x175 2001 |
This study provides both a critical insight into the institutionalised culture of health services provision in the Northern Territory and, most importantly, points towards ways in which that culture can be transformed. We conclude that 'compliance', thought of as a measure of patient uptake, must be forgotten. Instead, provision and uptake issues must be thought about simultaneously, as two sides of the one coin. |

The purpose of literacy is not just to find a job. Literacy is the vital key to an intelligent participation in self-government by multicultural democracy. |
