ABSTRACT Both nationally and internationally, the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse (RCIRCSA) is widely viewed as a remarkably successful public inquiry. Unlike many other commissions, it was stable, attracted little controversy, was highly regarded, and led to extensive legal, regulatory and policy reform ...

Individual specialization and temporal changes in Antarctic fur seal trophic ecology from a multi‐tracer approach

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Substantial individual variation in diet and foraging strategies can exist within populations. These differences can enhance individual foraging efficiency, reduce intraspecific competition, and provide fitness advantages that increase the resilience of a population.

Constraining Southern Ocean Air-Sea-Ice Fluxes Through Enhanced Observations

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Air-sea and air-sea-ice fluxes in the Southern Ocean play a critical role in global climate through their impact on the overturning circulation and oceanic heat and carbon uptake.

A ‘Wholly Unjustifiable Treatment of British Subject’? The Detention of W. T. Goode in the Baltic, 1919

History, Volume 111, Issue 396, Page 386-403, June 2026.
Abstract In the summer of 1919, W. T. Goode, the Manchester Guardian’s special correspondent in Russia and the Baltic, was arrested in the Estonian capital Tallinn and briefly detained aboard a British warship. Goode's detention caused a furore, leading to accusations of kidnap, heated commentary in the press and questions in parliament.

IV. On the Geology of Hobart Town [PDF]

Geological Magazine
The island of Tasmania is connected, as it were, with the continent of Australia by two chains of islands, the lines of which are afterwards continued in the mountain-syatems both of Tasmania and Australia. The Tasmanian systems pass from north to south in a strangely zigzag course, throughout which the mineralogical character of the rocks varies ...

A Comparison of the Gut Microbiome of Two Sympatric Macropods Along an Urbanisation Gradient in Tasmania

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Our study is the first to explore how macropod gut flora vary across levels of urbanisation, exploring the faecal microbiomes of the red‐bellied pademelon (Thylogale billardierii) and the red‐necked wallaby (Notamacropus rufogriseus rufogriseus). There is some evidence of urbanisation's impacts on the macropod microbiome, although there appear to be ...

Urban Bushland Wildfire Adaptation: Lessons From Managing Grassland Biodiversity and Woody Thickening on the Queens Domain, Hobart, Tasmania

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Urban bushland fragments have important natural and social values. Their management is challenging because they typically have experienced complex historical disturbances, making it difficult to settle on the most appropriate restoration targets. We illustrate these issues by chronicling vegetation and fire regime changes in the Queens Domain,

Anti‐Astrotropik — Outer space, technology and resistance in the tropics

Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 289-316, May 2026.
This paper traces an intellectual and geographical arc of thinking about outer space in the tropics, connecting Peter Redfield's Space in the Tropics: From Convicts to Rockets in French Guiana (2000), Sean T. Mitchell's Constellations of Inequality: Space, Race, and Utopia in Brazil (2017) and Asif Siddiqi's Cosmic Fragments: Dislocation and Discontent

New Insights in Lifetime Migrations of Albacore Tuna (Thunnus alalunga, Bonnaterre, 1788) between the Southwest Indian and the Southeast Atlantic Oceans Using Otolith Microchemistry

Fishes
To clarify potential trans-oceanic connectivity and variation in the natal origin of albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga) from the southwest Indian Ocean (SWI) and the southeast Atlantic (SA), lifetime otolith elemental signatures were assessed from 46 ...
