The principles of social inclusion have been embraced by institutions across the higher education sector but their translation into practice through pedagogy is not readily apparent. This paper examines perceptions of social inclusion and inclusive pedagogies held by academic staff at an Australian university. Of specific interest were the perceptions of teaching staff with regard to diverse student populations, particularly students from low socio-economic (LSES) backgrounds, given the institution's reasonably high proportion of LSES student enrolment (14%). A mixed-method approach was utilised: (i) in-depth interviews with a representative sample of academic staff and (ii) an online survey targeting all academic staff across the institution. The results point to the dual responsibilities of students and institutions in enacting inclusivity in order to move beyond reductive standpoints that simply apportion blame.

This paper makes recognition of the fact that planned changes have occurred and must continue to occur in order for both the meat industry and Advisory Services Division, MAF to remain competitive. The adoption by the Division of a market-driven, whole-industry approach is explained. This approach enables resources to be directed towards any component of the consumer-producer pathway. An industry capable of reflecting to the suppliers of its raw product the demands of the market, together with industry-wide adoption of the quality management approach, is discussed. The future is full of opportunities, New Zealand's unique natural and pure image being a prominent one.
