Problem based scenario Task You are required to consider the below scenario and prepare a LEGAL MEMORANDUM addressed to the NSW Minister for Corrective Services. Your memorandum should comply with the IRAC method and address the following questions: 1. Does the NSW Government have any constitutional basis for challenging the validity of the Correctional Services Bill 2018 (Cth) if enacted in its current form? 2. If you determine that the NSW Government does have a legal basis for challenging the validity of the Bill on what grounds can it do so? 3. If you determine that the NSW Government does not have a legal basis for challenging the validity of the Bill explain why not. 4. Are there any other legal issues that the NSW Government needs to consider before considering commencing action? Note that all persons, facts, campaigns, reports, treaties and legislation are invented for the purposes of this assessment. Context The Dunee Correctional Facility (DCF) is a privately-owned prison located in western NSW. The DCF receives income from two main sources- 1. The NSW State Government; and 2. Income from sale of products manufactured by inmates including demountable buildings and headphones for commercial aircraft. The demountable buildings are currently being sold to the Victorian and Tasmanian governments for use in schools. The airplane headphones are sold to various commercial airlines throughout the world. Recently, there have been negative media reports regarding the standard of care provided to inmates at the DCF following several hunger strikes that culminated in a riot where a number of guards and inmates were injured. Although the States have responsibility for prisons, the Federal Minister for Justice, Janice Jones, announces at a press conference that because the NSW State government was not taking any steps to address this crisis, the Federal government would be investigating the standard of care at the DCF and if necessary, take steps to remedy any determined substandard level of care. In 1998 the Federal Government ratified the International Covenant on Political Rights which provides: Article 1 Any person deprived of their liberty shall be treated with humanity and dignity Minister Jones introduced the Correctional Services Bill 2018 (Cth) to the Federal Parliament with the key provisions as follows: Definitions DCF is the Dunee Correctional Facility that is also a constitutional corporation within the meaning of section 51 (xx) of the Commonwealth Constitution Minister is the Minister for Justice … Section 8 1. The Minister may appoint an independent Complaints Officer to investigate any complaints from an inmate within the DCF; 2. The Complaints Officer will make a recommendation to the Minister as to whether the complaint is substantiated, and the Minister may make orders including but not limited to dismissal of staff, a financial penalty or an appearance before the Correctional Facility Appeals Tribunal; 3. In the event an order of dismissal of staff is made, all staff employed in replacement shall be approved by the Complaints Officer. The NSW Minister for Corrective Services Alfred Sing holds a press conference the day after the Bill is introduced into Federal parliament. Mr Sing is outraged by the Bill as he sees it as an intrusion into the NSW Governments role to regulate corrective services.

Observational Study Designs A clinical pediatric nurse has noticed a rise in childhood cancer diagnoses among the Hispanic population served by the local clinic. The nurse is concerned about this increase in cancer incidence in the patient population and turns to the literature to explore current research on this topic. The nurse finds through the reading that there appears to be an association between parental smoking and childhood cancer and wonders if this could be the cause of the rise in cases. This type of suspected association between a risk factor (exposure) and a particular outcome (childhood cancer) can be evaluated using an observational study design. This week, you were introduced to observational study designs used in epidemiology. For this Discussion, you will identify an epidemiologic association of interest (e.g., smoking and lung cancer, obesity and heart disease, hormone replacement/modification therapy and breast cancer) and determine an appropriate observational study design for exploring that association. To prepare: Review the different types of observational study designs presented in the Learning Resources: ecologic, cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort. Carefully examine the characteristics, strengths, and limitations of each design. Consider an association between a risk factor and a particular health outcome that is of interest to you. Then, select the observational study design you think would be the most appropriate for exploring this association. Consider how using observational study designs can lead to improvements in population health. By Day 3 Post a cohesive response that addresses the following: Identify the association between the risk factor and health outcome you selected, and suggest which observational study design you feel is most appropriate for examining that association. Support your selection of the observational design, noting its strengths and limitations for addressing the health problem. What might you be able to learn by using your selected study design that might lead to improvements in population health? Support your response with evidence from the literature. 3 references please

For this discussion, you will explore the relationship between financial analysis and strategic analysis in a review of the case study Kering SA: Probing the Performance Gap with LVMH (Case #2 from your textbook). Read: Chapter 2, Putting Performance Analysis into Practice. A case study is a puzzle to be solved, so before reading and answering the specific questions, develop your proposed solution by following these five steps: Read the case study to identify the key issues and underlying issues. These issues are the principles and concepts of the course area which apply to the situation described in the case study. Record the facts from the case study which are relevant to the principles and concepts of the course area issues. The case may have extraneous information not relevant to the current course area. Your ability to differentiate between relevant and irrelevant information is an important aspect of case analysis, as it will inform the focus of your answers. Describe in detail the actions that would address or correct the situation. Consider how you would support your solution with examples from experience or current real-life examples or cases from textbooks. Complete this initial analysis and then read the discussion questions. Typically, you will already have the answers to the questions, but with a broader consideration. At this point, you can add the details and/or analytical tools required to solve the case. present a well-written answer and diagnosis for the following case study questions: How well is Kering performing relative to LVMH? From (a) the financial data and (b) what we know about Kerings businesses, can we identify the sources of Kerings inferior performance? How are the shareholders and stakeholders affected by the performance? What can Kerings management do to close the gap with LVMH? Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories (require supporting citations) in your initial response along with at least one scholarly, peer-reviewed journal article. Keep in mind that these scholarly references can be found in the Saudi Digital Library by conducting an advanced search specific to scholarly references.
