Australia is the first jurisdiction in the world to introduce a national private telecommunications industry ombudsman. Created in 1993, the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO) has grown in jurisdiction and importance, becoming a regulatory cornerstone of the fully competitive post-1997 Australian telecommunications regime. This paper examines the role of the TIO as a mechanism for dispute resolution and as an industry regulator, suggesting that it provides an example of an innovatory regulatory process which transcends the divide between deregulation and proregulation. This raises the question as to the applicability of the ombudsman institution in terms of the regulation of telecommunications. Through highlighting the conciliatory nature of the ombudsman, the role of the TIO as a regulator is considered in its Australian context. © 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

View description>>

This paper aims to introduce an innovative family group conferencing program that has been recently implemented in NSW and to explore the program's potential to meet the needs and expectations of homicide survivors currently unmet by conventional criminal justice processes. The program is an overtly victim-oriented, communitarian model of restorative justice that operates on a post-conviction basis. There are no restrictions as to the nature of the offences that may be the subject of a conference provided there is an identifiable victim. Using a case study of a recent conference involving a homicide, the presentation will demonstrate the operation of the conferencing program and its application for homicide survivors.
