  • Avenues of Honour, Memorial and Other Avenues, Lone Pines – Around Australia and in New Zealand Background
    Avenues of Honour, Memorial and other avenues, Lone Pines – around Australia and in New Zealand Background: Avenues of Honour or Honour Avenues (commemorating WW1) Australia, with a population of then just 3 million, had 415,000 citizens mobilised in military service over World War 1. Debates on conscription were divisive, nationally and locally. It lost 60,000 soldiers to WW1 – a ratio of one in five to its population at the time. New Zealand’s 1914 population was 1 million. World War 1 saw 10% of its people, some 103,000 troops and nurses head overseas, many for the first time. Some 18,277 died in World War1 and another 41,317 (65,000: Mike Roche, pers. comm., 17/10/2018) were wounded, a 58% casualty rate. About another 1000 died within 5 years of 1918, from injuries (wiki). This had a huge impact, reshaping the country’s perception of itself and its place in the world (Watters, 2016). AGHS member Sarah Wood (who since 2010 has toured a photographic exhibition of Victoria’s avenues in Melbourne, Ballarat and France) notes that 60,000 Australian servicemen and women did not return. This left lasting scars on what then was a young, united ‘nation’ of states, only since 1901. Mawrey (2014, 33) notes that when what became known as the ‘Great War’ started, it was soon apparent that casualties were on a scale previously unimaginable. By the end of 1914, virtually all the major combatants had suffered greater losses than in all the wars of the previous hundred years put together.

  • Our Processes Did Not Protect People, We Are Sorry
    Friday, 11 December 2020 University: Our processes did not protect people, we are sorry The University of Tasmania today released its response to a review covering the period of former Vice-Chancellor Professor Peter Rathjen. The review was commissioned in August in the wake of an ICAC South Australia investigation which found Professor Rathjen engaged in serious misconduct with two female staff members while Vice-Chancellor at the University of Adelaide. Alumna and respected barrister Maree Norton, who has experience dealing with similar reviews, was engaged to provide an independent review of the University of Tasmania’s management of issues surrounding Peter Rathjen’s leadership. Ms Norton reviewed 11 complaints, 3 of which related directly to the former Vice- Chancellor. The remaining 8 related to workplace culture more broadly and people’s treatment within the University during Professor Rathjen’s tenure as Vice-Chancellor. Themes in the complaints include sexual misconduct, bullying, discrimination and failures in complaints systems and handling. The University of Tasmania Council has issued a formal apology to victims and survivors from the period. University Chancellor Michael Field AC said the University would accept and implement each of the recommendations arising from the Review by July 1, 2021. “The University Council is ultimately responsible for the wellbeing of people of the University,” Chancellor Field said. “This Review has highlighted that as an institution we failed in these responsibilities.

  • NEWS RELEASE for Immediate Release: 30 January 2018 New Home for Grapevine Virus Testing
    NEWS RELEASE For immediate release: 30 January 2018 New home for grapevine virus testing The Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI) and the University of Adelaide have jointly announced that plant virus testing and elimination services formerly provided by Waite Diagnostics have been transferred to The Australian Wine Research Institute. The services offered, which include testing for 12 grapevine viruses and phytoplasmas, as well as other pathogens responsible for diseases in canola, lucerne and other crops, will continue to be provided by the same experienced personnel, with no interruptions during the transition. AWRI Managing Director, Dr Dan Johnson, has welcomed the opportunity provided by the transfer, saying: “Testing of grapevines for viruses is a priority for Australian viticulture. The AWRI is proud to add this capability to the wide range of services it offers to the grape and wine community.” The University's Dr Nuredin Habili, lead researcher and long-time manager of the virus testing service, says the change “will result in a one-stop shop for the majority of testing requirements by grapegrowers and winemakers”. Waite Diagnostics was founded in 1997 by the late Bob Symons (FAA, FRS) (1934-2006), Professor of Biochemistry, within the University’s Department of Plant Science. Since that time the service has made a major contribution to the health of Australia’s grapevine planting material, through commercial application of cutting-edge virology research and diagnostic technologies. The University of Adelaide's Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Peter Rathjen, was himself a student of the late Professor Bob Symons and a successor as Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Adelaide.
