  • SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Information That Is Publicly Available Is Not Included in the Supplementary Information
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Information that is publicly available is not included in the Supplementary Information. The information presented below appears essentially as provided to the committees. DIVISION 3: PREMIER AND CABINET - SERVICES 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 11 [Supplementary Information No A42.] Question: Mr M.J. Birney: I am interested to know the number of positions that will be lost from regional areas as a result of the government’s shared corporate services program, the towns they will be lost from, and the agencies within those towns. (First dot point, page 70) Answer: Non-Health and Education Sector Agencies The Whole of Government Business case for savings for this group of agencies did not include any reductions in regionally based Corporate Services staff. The majority of ‘back office’ corporate services processing (eg. Accounts payable, Accounts receivable and Payroll) is already undertaken in Perth. Agency intentions with regard to possible realignment of their regional corporate service positions is not known to this Department and will need to be obtained from the agencies concerned. Education and Training Sector It is estimated that approximately 30 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) TAFE positions will be surplus in the regional areas as a result of the government’s shared corporate services program. The impact on each regional location will not be known until detailed analysis is finalised with each TAFE College by the end of 2005. Further, the number of positions lost will be dependent upon the way in which the six (6) regional colleges restructure their finance and human resource areas. Health Sector It is anticipated that approximately 91 rural FTEs will be transferred to the Health Corporate Network (HCN) Shared Service Centre.

  • The Development of Australian Infantry on the Western Front 1916-1918: an Imperial Model of Training, Tactics and Technology
    The Development of Australian Infantry on the Western Front 1916-1918: An Imperial model of training, tactics and technology Lewis Frederickson A thesis in fulfilment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Social Sciences UNSW Canberra 28 August 2015 i THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname: Frederickson First Name: Lewis Other Name: Charles Abbreviation for degree as given in the University Calendar: PhD School: Humanities and Social Sciences Faculty: History Title: The development of Australian infantry on the Western Front 1916-1918 Abstract The Anzac myth enshrines a popular history of Australian superiority on the battlefields of the Great War. Australian infantrymen were superior because Australia was a frontier nation whose people possessed independent initiative, resourcefulness, and moral and physical courage. These qualities were transferred straight into the Australian Imperial Force (AIF). This thesis makes a critical examination of the myth. It details how Australian infantry on the Western Front developed into a highly disciplined and professional element of the wider British Army in the period from 1916-1918. This occurred through standardised training and tactics, hard earned operational experience, and with technically enabled mastery. After Gallipoli, Australia was a relative latecomer to Europe, and arrived in mid-1916. The force experienced comparable losses to the British Army on the Somme, becoming a benefactor of the British learning process. Contrary to the Anzac myth, the five Australian divisions on the Western Front only realised their potential in 1918 when they were amalgamated into a corps. In this thesis, Chapter 1 provides a historiography of the Australian infantry's experience on the Western Front in comparison to a similar sized formation, the Canadian Corps.

  • Genealogy of the Descendants of John Walker of Wigton, Scotland, With
    Page 1 of 295 MY DEAR HUSBAND. WITHOUT WHOSE HELP AND ENCOURAGEMENT IT COULD NEVER HAVE BEEN WRITTEN. THIS BOOK IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED. E. S. W. EXPLANATIONS. In preparing and arranging this work I have endeavored to give all information attainable in connection with each and every person whose name appears in the book, and have tried to leave out every- thing of a merely traditional character, confining myself strictly to the statement of facts. In several instances where collateral names appear I have digressed and given something of their history prior to the time of their marrying into this family. I have made use of no unusual abbreviations. Each direct descend- ant of John Walker of Wigton when first mentioned is given a number, the + mark following the name indicates that they are to be mentioned again, in which case the name will be followed by its proper number in parenthesis. Where no such mark appears all that could be learned of their history appears in the birth notice. Where collateral records are given the names appearing in these records are designated by the letters of the alphabet. In designating generations, unless otherwise stated, they run back to the two sons of John Walker of Wigton, each one of whom is marked No. 1 as being the first of his particular line. A complete index to the names appearing in this work will be found in the back. ILLUSTRATIONS. * Page. E. S.

  • Annual Report ® September 2013 - August 2014 1 a Letter from Our Executive Director Greetings Friends and Supporters, You Gave, and Hundreds of Thousands Benefited
    Photo: Chris Winters Annual Report ® September 2013 - August 2014 1 A Letter from our Executive Director Greetings Friends and Supporters, You gave, and hundreds of thousands benefited. Through your commitment to our three strong branches in Milwaukee, you transformed parks into revitalized outdoor green space, and you created more nature-based educational opportunities for children. Your outstanding dedication allowed our continued work in hosting over 28,000 student visits on educational field trips, planting thousands of trees and shrubs, welcoming over 206,000 visitors to our branches, collaborating with 3,797 volunteers, and lending out quality outdoor equipment over 2,540 times to local explorers. This year, our goals included an increase in the services at our Washington Park branch, opening the Milwaukee Rotary Centennial Arboretum, securing the Riverland property along the Milwaukee River and continuing to enhance the infrastructure to support the organization’s mission. In addition to these wonderful results from the current year, the Center is also positioning itself for continued stability and growth in years to come. The Center’s executive leadership, along with guidance from the Board and its committees, maintained a keen focus on the adequacy of cash and overall reserve levels, the positive ratio of assets to liabilities, and a robust fundraising pipeline to ensure a solid financial foundation from which to cultivate future growth. Our success was made possible with your help. We are so excited to reach all of these milestones together, and we’re grateful to the many foundations, corporations, contributing members and volunteers whose support during the 2013-2014 fiscal year made these milestones possible.
