The Government’s plan included $3 million in incentive payments to Councils which have shown improved generation of their own income and established or improved business enterprises. Mayor Clifford Harrigan said it might be difficult for Wujal Wujal residents to get used to the idea of new charges, if and when they had to be introduced to individual households. Wujal Wujal Aboriginal Shire “Some people have come to me and said, ‘we’ve got Council Mayor Clifford Harrigan tons of water coming down, why should be pay for it – it’s free,” he said. “I agree, but with this Government “I’ve just came back from a financial sustainability we have to start charging for sewage, water and meeting in Townsville, about different funds that are rubbish removal and make sure that the amount we available to different Shires, so we are looking for are charging is sustainable. support. The State Government’s financial aid grant “Most of these charges will not be paid by residents has also dropped by about 14%, which is a huge but by the Department of Housing and Public Works as cut and there’s no guarantee we will get that back.

    The Degradational History of Endeavour Crater, Mars. J. A. Grant1, T. J. Parker2, L. S. Crumpler3, S. A. Wilson1, M. P. Golombek2, and D. W. Mittlefehldt4, Smithsonian Institution, NASM CEPS, 6th at Independence SW, Washington, DC, 20560 ([email protected]), 2Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, 4800 Oak Grove Drive, Pasadena, CA 91109, 3New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science, 1801 Mountain Rd NW, Albuquerque, NM, 87104, 4Astromaterials Research Office, NASA Johnson Space Center, 2101 NASA Parkway, Houston, TX 77058. Endeavour crater (2.28°S, 354.77°E) is a Noachian-aged 22 km-diameter impact structure of complex morphology in Meridiani Planum. The degradation state of the crater has been studied using Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and Opportunity rover data. Exposed rim segments rise ~10 m to ~100 m above the level of the embaying Burns Formation and the crater is 200-500 m deep with the southern interior wall exposing over ~300 m relief. Both pre-impact rocks (Matijevic Formation) and Endeavour impact ejecta (Shoemaker Formation) are present at Cape York, but only the Shoemaker crops out (up to ~140 m) along the rim segment from Murray Ridge to Cape Tribulation. Study of pristine complex craters Bopolu and Tooting, and morphometry of other martian complex craters, enables us to approximate Endeavour’s pristine form. The original rim likely averaged 410 m ±200 m in elevation and a 250-275 m section of ejecta (±50-60 m) would have composed a significant fraction of the rim height. The original crater depth was likely between 1.5 km and 2.2 km.

  • Deliberation in the Wilderness: the Far North Queensland Citizen's Jury
    DELIBERATION IN THE WILDERNESS THE FAR NORTH QUEENSLAND CITIZEN’S JURY DELIBERATION IN THE WILDERNESS – THE FAR NORTH QUEENSLAND CITIZEN’S JURY | PAGE 1 Simon Niemeyer Social and Political Theory Research School of Social Sciences The Australian National University [email protected] Based on research conducted at: Social and Political Theory Programme Research School of Social Sciences The Australian National University Russell Blamey Programme Visitor Research School of Social Sciences The Australian National University [email protected] This report covers the Far North Queensland Citizens’ Jury (FNQCJ), the second of two citizens’ juries conducted as part of the research project Citizens’ Juries for Environmental Management, from the Australian National University and primarily funded by Land & Water Australia. Land & Water Australia also funded the doctoral research of Simon Niemeyer at the Australian National University, from which this report primarily draws. The arguments herein are those of the authors alone. Acknowledgements are owed to Mick Common, formerly of the Australian National University and now of the University of Strathclyde, who conceived and initiated the Citizens’ Jury project. Jane Palmer and Peter McCarthy are due thanks for their hard work organising and overseeing the successful conduct of the FNQCJ. So too are the technical and community presenters and twelve members of the public who gave their time to make the process possible.
