 PhD-candidate Peter Mulherin recently published an article with the Australian Journal of International Affairs. Peter argues that Australia should reform its war-powers in order to prevent governments from entering wars that are unsupported by the public. If nothing else, democratising the way Australia goes to war will compel governments to engage more thoroughly in public debate about their proposed policies.

Tiffany Shellam has co-authored a paper with archaeologists from the University of Western Australia’s Centre for Rock Art Research and Management on the discovery of an image of a ship etched onto a rock in the Pilbara, Western Australia. The ship depicted, we argue, is the HMS Mermaid, captained by Phillip Parker King, in 1818. The article, co-authored by Alistair Paterson, Tiffany Shellam, Jo McDonald, Peter Veth, Ken Mulvaney, Ross Anderson and Joe Dortch, ‘The Mermaid? Re-envisaging the 1818 exploration of Enderby Island, Murujuga, in Western Australia’ was published in the Journal of Island and Coastal Archaeology this week.

A piece for The Conversation was also published by Tiffany, with Alistair Paterson and Jo McDonald today, and can be found here: https://theconversation.com/the-murujuga-mermaid-how-rock-art-in-wa-sheds-light-on-historic-encounters-of-australian-exploration-116815
