  • Prospects for Aquaculture and Amendments to the Fisheries Act Under the Primary Industries and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2003 (Qld)
    Queensland Parliamentary Library Prospects for Aquaculture and amendments to the Fisheries Act under the Primary Industries and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2003 (Qld) At least two recent developments have put the spotlight on aquaculture in Queensland. The first is the proposal for the development of a fish farm in Moreton Bay. Secondly, there has been an escalation in regulatory controls on recreational and commercial wild fish catches to guard against overexploitation. Aquaculture is a developing and promising Queensland industry that may have the potential to fill the gap between the public’s demand for fish and shellfish and the emerging shortage in wild fish supplies. However, there are a number of factors that impact upon the development of the aquaculture industry with environmental impacts of projects being a primary issue for producers. A number of regulatory controls on aquaculture developments are aimed at minimising environmental harm, including a development assessment process under the Integrated Planning Act 1997 (Qld). In recognition of the problems created for producers by duplication of planning and assessment processes, the Primary Industries and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2003 (Qld) has been introduced to amend the Fisheries Act 1994 (Qld) to require that certain fisheries development proposals are assessed under the Integrated Planning Act 1997.

  • Social Capital for Disaster Governance
    doi:10.1111/disa.12257 Living with disasters: social capital for disaster governance Maria de Lourdes Melo Zurita, Brian Cook, Dana C. Thomsen, Paul G. Munro, Timothy F. Smith, and John Gallina1 This paper explores how social networks and bonds within and across organisations shape dis- aster operations and strategies. Local government disaster training exercises serve as a window through which to view these relations, and ‘social capital’ is used as an analytic for making sense of the human relations at the core of disaster management operations. These elements help to expose and substantiate the often intangible relations that compose the culture that exists, and that is shaped by preparations for disasters. The study reveals how this social capital has been generated through personal interactions, which are shared among disaster managers across different organisations and across ‘levels’ within those organisations. Recognition of these ‘group resources’ has significant implications for disaster management in which conducive social relations have become paramount. The paper concludes that socio-cultural relations, as well as a people- centred approach to preparations, appear to be effective means of readying for, and ultimately responding to, disasters. Keywords: Australia, disaster governance, floods, local government, Queensland, social capital, subsidiarity Introduction The concept of ‘social capital’ has emerged as a key area of discussion in disaster research (Pelling, 2003; Nakagawa and Shaw, 2004; Pelling and High, 2005; Aldrich, 2012a), owing primarily to the widely accepted premise that ‘natural’ disasters can be best defined as the entanglement of natural hazards with vulnerable populations (Susman, O’Keefe, and Wisner, 1983; Varley, 1994; Hoffman and Oliver-Smith, 1999; Pelling, 2001; Wisner et al., 2014).

  • Appendix a (PDF 85KB)
    A Appendix A: Committee visits to remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait communities As part of the Committee’s inquiry into remote Indigenous community stores the Committee visited seventeen communities, all of which had a distinctive culture, history and identity. The Committee began its community visits on 30 March 2009 travelling to the Torres Strait and the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland over four days. In late April the Committee visited communities in Central Australia over a three day period. Final consultations were held in Broome, Darwin and various remote regions in the Northern Territory including North West Arnhem Land. These visits took place in July over a five day period. At each location the Committee held a public meeting followed by an open forum. These meetings demonstrated to the Committee the importance of the store in remote community life. The Committee appreciated the generous hospitality and evidence provided to the Committee by traditional owners and elders, clans and families in all the remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait communities visited during the inquiry. The Committee would also like to thank everyone who assisted with the administrative organisation of the Committee’s community visits including ICC managers, Torres Strait Councils, Government Business Managers and many others within the communities. A brief synopsis of each community visit is set out below.1 1 Where population figures are given, these are taken from a range of sources including 2006 Census data and Grants Commission figures. 158 EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS Torres Strait Islands The Torres Strait Islands (TSI), traditionally called Zenadth Kes, comprise 274 small islands in an area of 48 000 square kilometres (kms), from the tip of Cape York north to Papua New Guinea and Indonesia.

    David Littleproud MP View this email in your browser A New Year I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends and you were able to relax with some New Year cheer! A new year means new beginnings and the parliamentary sittings are set to resume in a few weeks’ time. I’ll continue to work hard and be your voice in Federal Parliament and this Coalition Government has real plans to make our nation stronger and to better support you, your family, business and community. What it means to be Australian In the lead-up to Australia Day this week, I’ve found myself contemplating what it means to be Australian. Australian citizenship should be cherished and entering, or remaining, in Australia is a privilege. 1 We need to strengthen citizenship laws so they better align with Australian values. That’s why I strongly support a tougher citizenship test that would strengthen character requirements for any new potential Australian following concerns that Australia’s short-term visa pathways could be exploited by terrorists seeking access to our country. Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has also flagged other reforms for consideration, including dropping the age at which good character provisions apply for citizenship from 18 to 16 years. If young people are breaking the law, I don’t think they deserve to part of our society. At the end of the day, we have secure borders that are envied by most European countries because of this government’s strong stance on border protection. These reforms are really about making sure Australia remains safe and I strongly support any move by this government to make our citizenship rules more robust a priority when we head back to Canberra next month.

D. E. Nicholson, Murrumba) took the chair at 11 a.m. QUESTIONS INCREASES IN BRISBANE MEAT PRICES Mr. LLOYD (Kedron) asked the Minister for Agriculture and Forestry- "(!) Has his attention been drawn to what is apparently a deliberately misleading opinion in the 'Telegraph' of Tuesday, November 8, which attempts to place the responsibility for the seven pence increase in meat prices in Brisbane on the control over the supply of meat in the metropolitan area by the Brisbane Abattoir?" "(2) Is it not a fact that the Cannon Hill Saleyards are merely a facility placed at the disposal of the buyers and sellers of cattle and the Queensland Meat Industry Board has nothing to do with the prices paid for the cattle sold at the Saleyards?" "(3) Would it not be true to state that the only affect that the operations of the Brisbane Abattoir have on the price of meat to the Brisbane housewife is the charge per head imposed on the slaugh­ tering of cattle owned by meat companies and individual buyers?" "(4) For the correct information of the Brisbane public, will he outline the charges made for the slaughtering of cattle at the Brisbane Abattoir?" "(5) How do these charges compare with those imposed by other abattoirs?" Questions [10 NOVEMBER] Questions 1345 "(6) Has there been any recent increase Cannon Hill have had no influence on in the slaughtering charges levied at the recent rises in meat prices.
