Parole in Western Australia: an analysis of parole cancellations of female offenders
No full textForeword
The number of prisoners in Australian prisons has been increasing over the past decade. In Western Australia the number of female offenders has increased by 40 percent over the past five years. One contributing factor to this increase may be the re incarceration of parolees who have violated parole.
This research used the publicly available decision documents from the Prisoners Review Board in Western Australia to investigate the background details of offences, and the details of the parole violations of 41 women released in 2013–14.
Data revealed that a high proportion of women returned to prison after a very short time in the community as a result of illicit drug use. The high cost of re-incarceration is considered against a background of rehabilitation and extra support in the community that might assist released women negotiate their complex lives on release without resorting to further drug use. The paper includes a number of recommendations to consider in an effort to reduce the recidivism of female offenders

No full textHamilton, Catherine Jane [pseud. Retlaw Spring] (1841-1935), author and journalist, was born on 25 January 1841 at Kilmersdon, Somerset, where she was baptized on 12 April 1841, the younger of two daughters of Richard Hamilton (1805?-1859), vicar of Kilmersdon, and his wife Charlotte, née Cooper (1809-1882), the fifth daughter of William Cooper, of Queens County, Ireland.

He had been a bright scholar with an aptitude for languages, and as a preacher was praised for his powerful sermons and his ability to bring the Bible to life for his parishioners
Green spaces: New paintings by Catherine Ferguson
No full textThe paintings showing in Green Spaces were completed in the summer of 2023, when the highest ever global temperatures were recorded, and wildfires burned across Europe. Gaia is becoming overwhelmed . These pictures struggle with the question, what is art’s role in this? If painting creates models for seeing more clearly into the problems that concern us, then its lessons for the planet involve acknowledging material limits and limitations. Like the biophysical and metabolic limits of the Earth which induce invention out of constraints, the limit of paintings’ flat and bounded surface is also generative. Just as Gaia invites us to evolve through a closer involvement with her (as an alternative to continuing to project our interests and desires onto her surface) so painting invites us to evolve as we encounter sensations generated by her surface, beyond the projection of a painted image

'Working Spaces' collaborative installation
No full textWorking Spaces is an artist collective and research group exploring Painting’s spatial context. Katrina Blannin and Catherine Ferguson are painters of the flat surface; Moyra Derby, Della Gooden and Jo McGonigal work dimensionally, with Painting in mind. With ‘VERNACULAR’ as the theme for The Colchester Expo at the Minories Gallery we were prompted to consider the vernacular of creative exchange inside a collective. The collective developed an installation which was a mix of ready-made paintings and objects and works made in situ, in response to the space and to each other's work. I exhibited a painting, a photomontage and made a wall drawing. The Expo was an initiative of SLUICE, a non-profit artist and curator-led organisation that has worked exclusively with other non-profit artist and curator-led initiatives since 2011. Sluice strategically adopts structures in order to showcase artist, curator as well as emergent discourses, projects and galleries
