title: Charitable trusts and political purposes: Sowing the seeds of change? Lessons from Australia

authors: Chevalier-Watts, Juliet

abstract: The recent case of Aid/Watch v Commissioner of Taxation  has created sea changes in Australia in relation to charitable trusts, and as a result our Antipodean neighbours appear to be blazing trails in the evolution of charitable trusts, whilst at the same time, New Zealand resolutely remains entrenched in the annals of charitable trust history.  Can, and indeed should, New Zealand continue this traditional approach, as pressure mounts to explore more liberal interpretations of charitable trusts and political purposes?  This article explores the two jurisdictions and considers critically, in light of very recent controversial judgments, the diverging paths being taken by the jurisdictions.  Before any analysis of the proposition, there must first be a contextualisation of the legal position of charitable trusts and political purposes.

title: Shared reading of children's interactive picture books

authors: Timpany, Claire

subjects: computer science

abstract: We report on a study of children and parents shared reading of interactive printed books. We investigated the differences between books with interactive features and books with expressive typography in order to evaluate which features within a book encouraged interaction between the reading participants and the book. 11 parent and child groups took part in the study that involved three observed reading sessions. From our observations we offer suggestions for the development of books and eBooks to encourage shared reading practices.
