  • Groundwater in the Botany Sands Aquifer – Water for the Past, Water for the Future?
    CASE STUDY 1.008 Groundwater in the Botany Sands Aquifer – Water for the past, water for the future? Author: Chris McAuley* The Botany Sands Aquifer is a layer of sand containing a large volume of water surrounding Botany Bay south of Sydney, New South Wales (NSW), Australia. At a local scale, the aquifer runs from Centennial Park south east of Sydney city centre to the Botany Wetlands and into Botany Bay. The Botany Sands Aquifer is layer of sand filled with water beneath the ground. It covers an area of approximately 141 square kilometres. The average groundwater salinity is around 500 milligrams per litre (mg/L) of dissolved solids. Before European settlement, it formed an important source of water for wetlands supporting aboriginal communities. The Botany Sand aquifer was once Sydney’s main water source. It remains an important source of water for parks, municipal and residential gardens, industry and wetlands. It may form an important part of Sydney’s water future by capturing and storing stormwater for later use. The aquifer is recharged by rainwater percolating through sand and sandstone which act as natural filters to remove solid litter, silt and harmful nutrients. The water holding capacity of the sand aquifer is enormous and has been estimated to contain up to 300 litres of water per cubic metre of sand. It is estimated the aquifer can sustainably supply 22,500 megalitres per year (ML/ yr - a megalitre is one million litres) of groundwater. Currently only approximately 6,000ML/yr is allocated for use. Figure 1: Extent of the Botany Sands Aquifer The groundwater helps to support natural and man-made pond systems along its flow path.

  • Journalists' Privilege
    A Shield Law To Better Protect Journalists’ Confidential Sources Submission to the Inquiry Into the Evidence Amendment (Journalists’ Privilege) Bill 2009 Senate Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs Parliament House Canberra Australian Capital Territory through Mr Peter Hallahan Committee Secretary FROM: Dr Joseph M Fernandez Senior Lecturer Department of Journalism School of Media, Culture and Creative Arts Curtin University of Technology 2 May 2009 Signed:…………………………………………… Date:………………………………… (Hardcopy of this submission sent by mail to the address above; electronic copy sent by email to the Committee Secretary) 1. Introduction This is a submission in response to the move to amend the Evidence Act 1995 (Commonwealth) through the Evidence Amendment (Journalists’ Privilege) Bill 2009 (Commonwealth). For convenience, this Bill and related law will be referred to as shield law. Briefly stated, the author submits that the proposed amendments do not adequately meet the objectives declared by the Commonwealth Attorney-General, the Hon Mr Robert McLleland MP. The amendments also do not amount to substantial improvement over existing legislation in this area. The following submission sets out the bases for these views and proposes ways in which the proposed shield law may be made to more effectively serve the purpose intended by the Commonwealth A-G. While the Commonwealth’s concern is to enact a shield law for application at Commonwealth level, it is submitted that the Commonwealth initiative in this area will have great significance for the way the States and Territories approach law-making in this area. It is therefore of vital importance that the Commonwealth initiative should attain a worthwhile outcome.
