Abstract: The main argument in this article is that the Australian government in power from 1996 to November 2007 failed women's domestic security by denying the central policy role of women's organizations in the struggle against domestic violence and by successfully expunging public debate on gender issues in Australian governance, while participating in the ‘war on terror’ to guard national security. In bringing together a discussion about the war on terror and the importance of feminism for women's security, key issues about feminism, race and gender are considered. This article also explores the prevalence of violence against women and the social implications of the lack of leadership in public debate about the gendered nature of violence against women. Under the Australian government led by Prime Minister John Howard that gained power in 1996 and was defeated in 2007, women's organizations lost financial support and women's policy infrastructure was decimated. Violence against women, however, continued to increase, reaffirming women's place in Australian society as insecure and dangerous. After more than 30 years of struggle to maintain domestic violence and sexual assault as serious social policy problems, provide services, support and advocacy for women who are victims of violence and assault, women's organizations are coming to terms with a society where there is a blindness to the role of gender in violence against women.

Abstract: After nine years of socially conservative government in Australia, national domestic violence policy has shifted its focus from a ‘ womencentred’ and gender-based analytic framework to one that favours the family and reflects in idualized, relational explanations of this crucial social policy issue. In exploring this issue, first this paper discusses what is meant by feminism in this context, some of the implications arising out of competing ideas amongst feminist activists in Australia and how feminism drove and influenced national policy. Second, through an examination of the current Australian government's efforts and decisions in relation to its only significant policy response to domestic violence, ‘Partnerships Against Domestic Violence’, this paper explores the implications of the socially conservative approach of the Howard Coalition Government and why it appears anti-feminist. Through a brief analysis of a national public education c aign launched in 2004, allocation of recent funding and the government's broad political approach to women's policy practice and implementation, questions are raised about the future of a policy that ignores the relationships between domestic violence and gender relations.

Abstract: English Food security is increasingly affected by global economic and environmental phenomena. Food price increases and food scarcity cause social and political instability, and can escalate to humanitarian crises. As women are particularly likely to be affected by threats to food security, this paper argues for feminist analyses in social work responses and research. French La sécurité alimentaire est de plus en plus affectée par l’économie mondiale et par les phénomènes environnementaux. Les prix des aliments augmentent et la raréfaction de la nourriture est cause d’instabilité sociale et politique, et peut dégénérer en crises humanitaires. Dans la mesure où les femmes sont susceptibles d’être particulièrement affectées par les menaces sur la sécurité alimentaire, cet article argumente en faveur des analyses féministes dans la recherche et les réponses apportées par le travail social. Spanish Los fenómenos del medioambiente y la globalización afectan cada vez más a la seguridad alimenticia. El precio de los alimentos y su escasez causan inestabilidad social y política que pueden abocar a crisis humanitarias. Ya que la seguridad alimenticia tiende a afectar a las mujeres de una forma particular, este artículo arguye a favor de un análisis feminista por parte del trabajo social y la investigación.

Abstract: This paper reports on the findings of research into what Korean Australians thought about the process of ‘becoming and being Australian’, drawing on measures of social cohesion and ‘Australianness’. The aim of the research was to find out what Korean Australian migrants valued or were uncomfortable with in relation to multiculturalism and processes of ‘being Australian’, or conformation with ‘Australianness’. Based on in-depth interviews with ten and a survey of 153 members of the Korean migrant community in Sydney, data indicated that social activities and self-perception of identity effectively continue to reflect past Australian policy settings that recognised the importance of multiculturalism as both a community-based policy framework as well as a national social policy. The study found participants highly valued Korean identity, language and community and that bonds to the Korean community, limited English language competency and experiences of racism reinforced the importance of settling into a society that valued multiculturalism.
