A current research and community development project taking place in Melbourne was conceived as a means of establishing a partnership between local government, state government and not-for-profit agencies by developing a Lifelong Learning Hub as part of a public housing redevelopment project. While the existing service providers initially welcomed the idea of the hub, its establishment proved problematic. The cooperative nature of a partnership to provide improved services conflicted with the competitive nature of the existing services and the policy climate under which the regeneration project was established

The focus is on how to broaden the range of people represented in council processes, especially those who are reluctant to participate in traditional consultation methods. This is the final report of a project that aimed to identify the conceptual and practical difficulties associated with including hard to reach groups in community consultation, investigate effective current practices, and pool resources and strategies for use across partner councils.

It explores this concern in relation to a number of recent developments in Australian education policy, describing the debates that they have engendered and identifying the political ambiguities that attend them. Three case studies are developed. The first is drawn from reactions to the recent bureaucratic reorganisation of higher education, especially those responses concentrated on the defence of the humanities. The second concerns developments in post-compulsory education, especially the construction of the new national credentialling system based on the assessment of 'Key Competencies'. The third addresses the endemic problem of educational assessment and equity. While each of these case studies ...
