QUESTIONS ON NOTICE 11.1. Cr Andrew Stratford - Resolution 228, Code of Conduct 1. In relation to the letter from Mayor Spragg to myself dated 13th March: a) Does the CEO endorse the comments made in this document? b) What explanation will the CEO provide for; on the night of the March Council meeting not appearing to be aware of the detail of the contents of this letter from Mayor Spragg, and not providing a response when asked if the legal advice referred to in this letter was in fact authorised by him at the time it was sought - however in the April meeting, Mr Miller, is explicit in his report that the legal advice was indeed authorised by the CEO? (the Mayor indicated on the night that the legal advice was provided by staff, however not the CEO). 2. In what circumstances can the Mayor and/or CEO choose to add words to, take words from or alter the wording of any Council resolution without the matter first coming to Council? 3. In what circumstances can any other staff member of Council, choose to add words to, take words from or alter the wording of any Council resolution without the matter first coming to Council? 4. Given that the resolution passed by Council is quite clear in its wording: "that Council requests that Cr Andrew Stratford issue an apology to Council" - and that this Council exists until the next Council is formed in November this year - is any subsequent variation made to this resolution by any staff member, or any Elected Member (without the matter coming back to Council), and regardless of who might think it is a good idea, a binding action or indeed even considered a legal variation? 5. In regard to resolution 186 from the 8th October 2013 Council meeting, which (in part) says that the CEO write to various government officials to ask for their consideration in decisions around the closure of the Inverbrackie APOD: a) Has this letter with this request been written? b) If so, regardless of whether they have considered our request or not, does the Mayor / CEO therefore consider this resolution as having been complied with? Mayor _________ 24 June 2014 81 ADELAIDE HILLS COUNCIL MINUTES OF ORDINARY COUNCIL MEETING TUESDAY 27 MAY 2014 63 MT BARKER ROAD STIRLING c) If so, has this item since been removed from the Councils outstanding action list? 6. In regard to resolution 2 from the 25th February 2014 SPDPC meeting, which (in part) says that the CEO and Mayor write to various Government officials to seek their in principle support for the proposed Northern Bypass freight train line diversion: a) Has this letter with this request been written? b) If so, regardless of whether we have their in principle support or not, does the Mayor / CEO therefore consider this resolution as having been complied with? c) If so, has this item since been removed from the Councils outstanding action list? 7. In regard to resolution 228 from the 10th December 2013 Council meeting, which says that Council requests that Cr Stratford issue an apology to Council: a) Has this letter with this request been written? b) If so, regardless of whether the apology has occurred to date or not, does the Mayor / CEO therefore consider this resolution as having been complied with? c) If so, has this item since been removed from the Councils outstanding action list? 8. To date, what total costs have been incurred by Council - including LG costs, legal costs and Council staff time, in the quest to investigate, penalise and continue with this pursuit of Cr Stratford over his comments in seeking "best practice" standards with regard to the 6/5 vote taken over the Representation Review issue, and the subsequent code of conduct complaint lodged by Cr Kemp? BACKGROUND At the March Council meeting, Cr Herrmann asked if I could submit the questions I was seeking a response to, in relation to the processes used, costs to Council and the legality of altering Council resolutions outside of Council meetings, as Questions on Notice. Cr Herrmann was an apology at the April meeting of Council. The motion which previously had been moved and seconded, and which he had consequently asked to 'lay on the table' (and was agreed with) was later listed in this agenda as a 'adjourned item' and was therefore discussed at this meeting - and in his absence.

  • Comparing Camels in Afghanistan and Australia: Industry and Nationalism During the Long Nineteenth Century
    Comparing camels in Afghanistan and Australia: Industry and nationalism during the Long Nineteenth Century Shah Mahmoud Hanifi [James Madison University, Virginia, USA] Abstract: This paper compares the roles of camels and their handlers in state building projects in Afghanistan and Australia during the global ascendance of industrial production. Beginning in the mid-1880s the Afghan state-sponsored industrial project known as the mashin khana or Kabul workshops had significant consequences for camel-based commercial transport in and between Afghanistan and colonial India. Primary effects include the carriage of new commodities, new forms of financing and taxation, re- routing, and markedly increased state surveillance over camel caravans. In Australia the trans-continental railway and telegraph, and other projects involving intra-continental exploration and mining, generated a series of in-migrations of Afghan camels and cameleers between the 1830s and 1890s. The port of Adelaide was the urban center most affected by Afghan camels and cameleers, and a set of new interior markets and settlements originate from these in-migrations. The contributions of Afghan camels and their handlers to state-building projects in nineteenth-century Afghanistan and Australia highlight their vital roles in helping to establish industrial enterprises, and the equally important point that once operational these industrial projects became agents in the economic marginalization of camels and the social stigmatization of the human labour associated with them. __________________________________________________________________ Introduction: camels, political economy and national identities The movement of camels through the Hindu Kush mountain passes was greatly transformed beginning in 1893. That year the Durrani Amir of Kabul Abd al-Rahman signed an agreement with the British Indian colonial official Sir Henry Mortimer Durand acknowledging there would be formal demarcation of the border between their respective vastly unequal powers, one being a patron and the other a client.
