  • Legislative Assembly
    90 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Wednesday 30 April 2003 ______ Mr Speaker (The Hon. John Joseph Aquilina) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. Mr Speaker offered the Prayer. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE Inaugural Speeches Motion by Mr Scully agreed to: That the business of the House be interrupted to permit the honourable member for Rockdale to make his inaugural speech forthwith. INAUGURAL SPEECHES Mr SARTOR (Rockdale—Minister for Energy and Utilities, Minister for Science and Medical Research, Minister Assisting the Minister for Health (Cancer), and Minister Assisting the Premier on the Arts) [10.00 a.m.] (Inaugural Speech): It is an honour to rise as an elected member of this Parliament and I am particularly proud to have been elected the member for Rockdale. It is an electorate as ethnically diverse as Australia itself, with the majority of its residents coming from non-English speaking backgrounds, the major groups being Arabic, Greek, Macedonian and Chinese. Whilst the constituency is a culturally diverse community there are issues of common concern to the people of my electorate, the major issues being planning and development and crime relating to car hoons, especially in Brighton-Le-Sands. Other issues of concern to the constituency include the protection and preservation of open space, the care of the Botany Bay foreshore, traffic, public transport and, I might add, the performance of Rockdale council. My priority as the local member will be to work as hard as I can to address these concerns. The seat of Rockdale was first established in 1927. It ceased to exist due to boundary changes in the 1930s but was reborn in 1941, and has not looked back since.

    An Examination of the New South Wales Electronic Gaming Machine Industry 1995 to 2005 and its Historical, Regulatory, Political and Economic Contexts Mark Sargent MBA MMktg Doctor of Philosophy July 2012 Statement of Originality This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university or other tertiary institution and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference has been made in the text. I give consent to this copy of my thesis, when deposited in the University Library, being made available for loan and photocopying subject to the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968. (Signed) ________________________ Mark Sargent i Acknowledgements I liken the completion of this work to the intellectual equivalent of winning the Tour de France. Although after a long and arduous journey, of many stages, only one rider has the honour of wearing the maillot jaune down the Champs Élysées, behind that rider is an entire team which in some significant respects shares in the satisfaction of the achievement. So also, I hope, shall be the case in respect of this thesis, and, as such I wish to acknowledge the indispensible contributions of the team that has supported me. To my supervisors Scott Holmes, John Jenkins, Ron Plotnikoff and David Lubans, I firstly express my gratitude for your assistance and guidance. I also express my admiration of your perseverance and ability to bring focus to my often tangential meanderings. I also thank Kim Colyvas for his invaluable contribution to the task of transforming a vast, and vastly disorganised, data set into a consistent and comprehensible form that allowed its meaningful analysis.

  • For Preliminary Documentation – EPBC Ref: 2019/8543 DOC NO │ BORR-02-RP-EN-0017 Rev 0 October 2020
    BORR Southern Section Additional Information for Preliminary Documentation – EPBC Ref: 2019/8543 DOC NO │ BORR-02-RP-EN-0017 Rev 0 October 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Commissioner of Main Roads Western Australia (Main Roads) is proposing to construct and operate the Southern Section of the Bunbury Outer Ring Road (BORR) project. BORR is a planned Controlled Access Highway linking the Forrest Highway and Bussell Highway. The completed project will provide a high standard route for access to the Bunbury Port, improve road user safety and facilitate proposed development to the east of the City of Bunbury. BORR provides an effective bypass of Bunbury for inter- regional traffic. The proposed BORR comprises three sections: • ‘BORR Northern Section’ – Forrest Highway to Boyanup-Picton Road • ‘BORR Central Section’ – Boyanup-Picton Road to South Western Highway (an existing four km section which was completed in May 2013, along with a three km extension of Willinge Drive southwards to South Western Highway) • ‘BORR Southern Section’ – South Western Highway (near Bunbury Airport) to Bussell Highway. This document refers to BORR Southern Section only (the Proposal). The BORR Northern and Central Sections have been referred under a separate proposal (EPBC 2019/8471). The Proposal includes the construction and operation of 10.5 km of new freeway standard dual carriageway, associated bridges, interchanges and other road infrastructure including, but not limited to, culverts, lighting, noise barriers, fencing, landscaping, road safety barriers and signs. The Proposal is located approximately 200 km south of Perth and, at its closest point, approximately six km south-east of Bunbury. The 200 ha Proposal Area is within the City of Bunbury and Shire of Capel.

  • The Theory of Successful Criminal Entrepreneurs
    THE THEORY OF SUCCESSFUL CRIMINAL ENTREPRENEURS Khaled Alnkhailan BA Criminology and Criminal Justice MA Sociology Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Law Queensland University of Technology 2017 Keywords Criminal entrepreneurs, organised crime, non-hierarchical structured organised crime, modus essendi, modus operandi, modus vivendi, leadership, vision, brokerage, bribery, blackmail, mentors, role models, human capital, the theory of successful criminal entrepreneurs. The theory of successful criminal entrepreneurs i ABSTRACT As typological category, criminal entrepreneurs have a different modus operandi from most traditional criminals. This study develops a theory of successful criminal entrepreneurs, operating in non-hierarchically structured organised crime. Successful criminal entrepreneurs cannot be described through classic criminological theories such as low self-control theory. The theory of successful criminal entrepreneurs provides an understanding of the leadership of criminal entrepreneurs which includes vision, leadership style and orientation, in addition to their identity. The theory also provides an understanding of the operational approaches used by successful criminal entrepreneurs in addition to the use of their social networks. The theory of successful criminal entrepreneurs argues that successful criminal entrepreneurs start their careers with a clearly defined vision. Criminal entrepreneurs then lead people towards their vision with a charismatic leadership
