Queensland's Coal Seam Gas Development and the Engagement with Knowledge, Uncertainty and Environmental Risks
Getting the Science Right: Queensland's Coal Seam Gas Development and the Engagement with Knowledge, Uncertainty and Environmental Risks Martin Espig Master of Arts (Hons) (Sociology & Anthropology) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2017 School of Social Science Abstract Along with the current global ‘gas revolution’, Australia’s natural gas industry grew rapidly over the last decade. As part of this growth, unconventional gas reserves in the coal basins underlying the State of Queensland have been developed at a large scale. These coal seam gas (CSG) projects are expected to involve the drilling of up to 20,000 gas wells in southern Queensland alone. On a small — but likely increasing — number of the existing 9,000 wells, CSG companies apply the controversial extraction technique of hydraulic fracturing (‘fracking’). One hotspot of development is the rural Western Downs region where the CSG industry’s rapid expansion and accompanying socio-cultural changes have intensified land use competition between agricultural and extractive industries, while also affecting non-agricultural landholders and regional residents. In this region and elsewhere, CSG extraction has sparked debates over associated risks, uncertainties and possible unknown environmental impacts. Based on ethnographic research in the Western Downs, this thesis addresses the resulting environmental risk controversy by examining the ‘problems of knowing’ associated with CSG developments. My analysis focuses on how a variety of actors come to know CSG and its environmental risks as well as the ways in which uncertainties and unknowns are negotiated. I particularly attend to scientific knowledge claims regarding potential environmental and health impacts. -
Joshua Thomas Bell Queensland and the Darling Downs 1889-1911 by D
Joshua Thomas Bell Queensland and the Darling Downs 1889-1911 by D. B. Waterson Received 27 September 1984 The pastoral, legal and political career of Joshua Thomas Bell niuminates certain aspects of Queensland in general and Darling Downs history in particular during a critical time in that region's evolution. When Bell first entered the Queensland Legislative Assembly for the Northem Downs constituency of Dalby in 1893 (a seat which he was to retain until his death nineteen years later), the colony, society and landscape of the Downs were about to undergo their third major transformation since the coming of European pastoralists and the hesitant establishment of selector-based agri culture during the 1860s and 1870s. Bell's personal origins and subsequent career - he was bom in 1863 - thus spans two of the most significant phases in the European history of the region.' Bell, scion of an old-established Queensland pastoral family, now in the hands of the financially unstable Darling Downs & Westem Land Company and its overdraft master, the Queensland National Bank, entered ParUament at the time of the massive financial crash in Queensland. Yet the DarUng Downs was about to embark on a thorough reconstmction and expansion of its mral enterprises. Bell's period in Parliament saw a rapid increase in mral productivity and population on the Downs - more than in other parts of Queensland, including Brisbane - and an acceleration of Toowoomba's rise to prominence as the regional capital. The application of new tech nology, particularly in refrigeration and plant breeding, the inter vention of the State in distributing old pastoral freehold estates to Professor Duncan Waterson is Professor of History, School of History, Philosophy and Politics, Macquarie University, Sydney. -

TAROOM SHOW SOCIETY NEWSLETTER May 2014
TAROOM SHOW SOCIETY NEWSLETTER May 2014 Thank you! The Taroom Show Society would like to sincerely thank everyone who contributed to this year‟s outstanding show- exhibitors, competitors, sponsors, stall holders, families and other visitors. Show president Shane Williams said the 2014 event was a great success, with numerous highlights. “We had the Origin Lumberjack Show, which was an international act and a first for Taroom. The crowd loved it, and the Lumberjacks loved their time in Taroom,” Mr Williams said. “We had the Santos Ladies marquee, the prestigious pet parade, a wine and cheese afternoon, the men‟s chocolate cake competition, plus the traditional Showgirl and Rural Ambassador competitions, just to name a few things.” “We had a huge number of stud cattle compete for what is arguably the largest prize pool in Queensland outside a major city. The Super Bull and Junior Bull Challenges are always a good drawcard. We had over 60 competitors in one show jumping class, making Taroom one of the most popular shows in Queensland. “It was great to see so many people enjoy themselves, and fill the grounds with such a positive vibe. Taroom is such a professionally run show for a small town and it‟s a credit for all those involved,” Mr Williams said. Two volunteers were recognised for their hard work over the years, with life membership being presented to Malcolm and Ann McIntyre. Christie McLennan, 2014 Rural Ambassador Kim Hay, and the 2013 Ian Williams, secretary Tennille Lacey, Miss Show Princess runner-up Queensland Rural Ambassador Jess and president Shane Williams. -
Darling Downs Hospital and Health Service (DDHHS) Involving: Western Cluster, and Southern Cluster – Rural Division
Proposed Implementation Plan Organisational Realignment – Rural Division Director of Medical Services Purpose This document provides an overview of a proposed modification of the organisational structure within Darling Downs Hospital and Health Service (DDHHS) involving: Western Cluster, and Southern Cluster – Rural division This document aims to broadly guide affected staff through the scope and implementation process of the proposed change and outlines possible impacts on employees. The document is intended to: • support consultation in relation to the change and the way the proposed change is implemented; and • invite input into the change and ways in which any adverse impacts of the change can be minimised. Background The Rural division delivers excellence in healthcare, to optimise patient centered outcomes for our community. This is achieved by enabling safe, accessible, sustainable, and evidence-based healthcare by a highly skilled and valued workforce. The Rural division consists of: • seven regional hospitals • nine smaller hospitals • six residential aged care facilities • three Multipurpose health services • three outpatient facilities to provide a range of community based health services The Rural division is organised into three clusters, each led by a Cluster Director of Nursing (CDON), and supported by a Director of Medical Services (DMS) as detailed below: Each CDON reports directly to the Executive Director Rural (EDR) operationally and professionally to the Executive Director of Nursing and Midwifery (EDNMS) and consists of the following positions: Cluster Medical lead-position No of Medical No of direct reports to Superintendents Medical Superintendents South Director of Medical Services, 3 15.12 Burnett South Burnett Southern 5.5 24.31 Director of Medical Services, Western Rural 7.0 14.42 In the current structure, the DMS South Burnett operationally reports to the Director of Nursing (DON), Kingaroy Hospital which is the facility with highest activity within the cluster; and the DMS Rural operationally reports to the EDR.
