Writing about a Prime Minister: Reflections on How Malcolm Fraser PM Happened
In 1989 I published Malcolm Fraser PM, a study of the way that prime minister Fraser worked. In this note I muse about the back story, about the processes involved in writing a study of a recently defeated prime minister, explaining how the book was written and what could be learnt from the interactions with Fraser.

Too Little, Too Weak? Paid Parental Leaves in Philippine Collective Bargaining Agreements
ABSTRACT When statutory work–family entitlements are deemed insufficient, workers often rely on collective bargaining to secure better terms. However, the extent to which unions can deliver higher than statutory benefits remains underexplored, especially in developing countries with decentralized bargaining systems and low union salience. Bridging this

ABSTRACT Supervision is integral to social work practice; however, how it operates in day‐to‐day practice remains poorly understood. Existing research mainly comprises quantitative and qualitative accounts of social workers' and supervisors' experiences of supervision.

Class Angular Distortion Index for Dimensionality Reduction
Abstract Dimensionality reduction (DR) techniques are often characterized by whether they preserve global, high‐level structures in the data or local, neighborhood structures. This distinction matters in visualization: global methods can obscure clusters while local methods can over‐emphasize them.

Single Line Drawing Generation via Semantics‐Driven Optimization
We present a method for automatically generating single‐line drawings in vector format, guided by a text prompt or an input image. Our approach leverages score distillation sampling to optimize the parameters of a uniform rational B‐spline (URBS) curve, ensuring that the drawing consists of a single continuous stroke by design.
