These policies were formulated at the state level and were structured around sustainable development concepts (the environmental, economic, and social dimensions). This study highlights contexts that led to the making of these public policies, as well as factors that led to their discontinuation. The case studies are based on analysis of parliamentary debates, state governments’ budget reports, public agencies’ annual reports, government media releases, and stakeholders’ feedback. The empirical findings highlight the importance of understanding the political dimension of sustainable development. This fact highlights the need to look beyond the traditional three-dimensional view of sustainability when assessing the success (or lack thereof) of sustainable development policies. Equally important, the analysis indicates that despite these policies’ limited success (and even one of these policies not being implemented at all), sustainability policies can have a legacy beyond their life cycle. Hence, the evaluation of these policies is likely to provide insight into the process of policymaking. 1 Charles Darwin University (CDU), Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia. 2 Australian Centre for Sustainable Development Research & Innovation (ACSDRI), Adelaide, South Australia, Australia.

He is Chairman of Engineering Heritage South Australia and Vice President of the History Council of South Australia. His email is [email protected] Beginnings In Part 1 we looked the River Torrens as a friend—a source of water vital to the establishment of the new settlement. However, in common with so many other European settlements, the developing community very quickly polluted its own water supply and another source had to be found. This was still the River Torrens but the water was collected in the Torrens Gorge, about 13 kilometres north-east of the City, and piped down Payneham Road to the Valve House in the East Parklands. Water from this source was first made available in December 1860 as reported in the South Australian Advertiser on 26 December. The significant challenge presented by the Torrens was getting across it. In summer, when the river was little more than a series of pools, you could just walk across. However, there must have been a significant body of water somewhere – probably in the vicinity of today’s weir – because in July 1838 tenders were called ‘For the rent for six months of the small punt on the Torrens for foot passengers, for each of whom a toll of one penny will be authorised to be charged from day-light to dark, and two pence after dark’ (Register 28 July).

    Sixteen Years of Labor Government in South Australia, 2002-2018

    AUSTRALASIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW Parliament in the Periphery: Sixteen Years of Labor Government in South Australia, 2002-2018* Mark Dean Research Associate, Australian Industrial Transformation Institute, Flinders University of South Australia * Double-blind reviewed article. Abstract This article examines the sixteen years of Labor government in South Australia from 2002 to 2018. With reference to industry policy and strategy in the context of deindustrialisation, it analyses the impact and implications of policy choices made under Premiers Mike Rann and Jay Weatherill in attempts to progress South Australia beyond its growing status as a ‘rustbelt state’. Previous research has shown how, despite half of Labor’s term in office as a minority government and Rann’s apparent disregard for the Parliament, the executive’s ‘third way’ brand of policymaking was a powerful force in shaping the State’s development. This article approaches this contention from a new perspective to suggest that although this approach produced innovative policy outcomes, these were a vehicle for neo-liberal transformations to the State’s institutions. In strategically avoiding much legislative scrutiny, the Rann and Weatherill governments’ brand of policymaking was arguably unable to produce a coordinated response to South Australia’s deindustrialisation in a State historically shaped by more interventionist government and a clear role for the legislature. In undermining public services and hollowing out policy, the Rann and Wethearill governments reflected the path dependency of responses to earlier neo-liberal reforms, further entrenching neo-liberal responses to social and economic crisis and aiding a smooth transition to Liberal government in 2018. INTRODUCTION For sixteen years, from March 2002 to March 2018, South Australia was governed by the Labor Party.

    Radium Hill, South Australia in 1906 by Arthur Smith

    Dear Sir, The attached submission is relevant to the evidence being presented to the Royal Commission hearings into the uranium industry. I trust this information will help the Commission in its deliberations. Kindest regards Kevin R Kakoschke OAM 'NUKE' OR POLLUTE? Recent editions of the 'Advertiser', Saturday Dec. 13, and the 'Australian', Saturday Dec. 13, 2014, highlighted two contentious environment issues, namely the reduction of carbon emissions and nuclear energy. The production of electricity using nuclear energy as the power source was an option for reducing carbon emissions. But what of the radioactive waste? Where did the nuclear dilemma in Australia begin? Radioactive uranium/radium was discovered at Radium Hill, South Australia in 1906 by Arthur Smith. The use of radium for producing electricity was highlighted way back in 1906. A newspaper article stated; 'that one ounce of it is equal to one hundred thousand nominal horsepower'. ...and that small quantity would be sufficient to drive or propel three of the largest battleships afloat for a period of two thousand years. By 1912, there were thirty-five miners working in the mine at Radium Hill extracting the uranium/radium bearing ore which was concentrated before being dispatched to Hunters Hill in Sydney for further processing into radium bromide (350mgms) and uranium (150kgms). Many of these men had links with Broken Hill. In 1913 an article in the 'Adelaide Register' newspaper claimed, 'It will mean that foreign nations will be obliged to seek from us the power wherewith to heat and light their cities, and find means of defence and offence,...The small space for storing radium would be infinitesimally small in comparison to that required for the storing of oil, coal or coke,..
