The seat is an externally fixed seat for the public located at the entrance to the Prince Charles Hospital. The form of the seat is designed specifically for two, to celebrate the marriage of Charles and Camilla. The design of bench structure represents the Southern Cross which is predominant in our night sky, distinguishing us in location from Charles and Camilla, the night of their wedding. The design also incorporates references to undulating forms of the Queensland Landscape.

In this paper I examine the recent arguments by Charles Foster, Jonathan Herring, Karen Melham and Tony Hope against the utility of the doctrine of double effect. One basis on which they reject the utility of the doctrine is their claim that it is notoriously difficult to apply what they identify as its 'core' component, namely, the distinction between intention and foresight. It is this contention that is the primarily focus of my article. I argue against this claim that the intention/foresight distinction remains a fundamental part of the law in those jurisdictions where intention remains an element of the offence of murder and that, accordingly, it is essential ro resolve the putative difficulties of applying the intention/foresight distinction so as to ensure the integrity of the law of murder. I argue that the main reasons advanced for the claim that the intention/foresight distinction is difficult to apply are ultimately unsustainable, and that the distinction is not as difficult to apply as the authors suggest.

Cinema is central to the mediation of history and the construction of imaginative geographies that offer a politicized view of the land and its people. This article investigates cinematic representations of landscape and analyses the ways in which maps and journeys in Charles Chauvel’s film Jedda (1955) and Baz Luhrmann’s Australia (2008)—both set in the far North of Australia—articulate conceptions of “Australianness” in relationship to Indigeneity and the land. We argue the exotic tropics and arid outback regions of northern Australia function metonymically as representative of the nation in these films, working to naturalize ideological values and affirm dominant narratives of history, identity, and entitlement.

En 1985, Alfonso Guerra, entonces vicepresidente del gobierno español encabezado por Felipe González, pronunció una frase destinada a hacerse famosa: “Montesquieu ha muerto”. Fue vertida cuando el partido socialista (PSOE) aprovechó la mayoría parlamentaria recién alcanzada para reformar la Ley Orgánica del Poder Judicial. De acuerdo con esa reforma, los vocales del Consejo General del Poder Judicial (equivalente a nuestro Consejo de la Magistratura) debían en adelante ser elegidos por el parlamento y no, como hasta entonces, mayoritariamente por los mismos jueces, fórmula a la que se tachaba de “corporativista”2. Los críticos advirtieron allí un intento de manejar los tres órganos clásicos del Estado para un proyecto de gobierno a largo plazo. Nada mejor, para eso, que enterrar de una buena vez por todas al viejo y quizás molesto señor de la Brède y barón de Montesquieu. Como buen político, Guerra, en sus memorias3, negó haber pronunciado literalmente aquella fórmula, aduciendo haber sido sus declaraciones tomadas fuera de contexto, etc...
