Faculty of Law The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada ABSTRACT This thesis considers the influence and effect of the dominant Australian ideology of motherhood on the Chamberlain case. Lindy Chamberlain was convicted on 29 October 1982 of murdering her baby daughter, Azaria. Her conviction was overturned in 1988 after a Royal Commission into her trial. Two main explanations have been proposed for Chamberlain's wrongful conviction. The first explanation is that the scientific evidence adduced in support of the prosecution was seriously flawed. The second is that Chamberlain's right to a fair trial was prejudiced by the enormous media attention focused on the case.

    Stephen Dykes Managing Director Gemseekers International Pty Ltd and Henry Dupal Operations Manager, Northern Territory APA Group THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE AMADEUS PIPELINE TO THE NORTHERN TERRITORY AND TO THE AUSTRALIAN PIPELINE INDUSTRY By Stephen Dykes (Gemseekers International Pty Ltd) and Henry Dupal (APA Group) The growth in power consumption in the Northern Territory (NT) since self-government in 1978 drove the need for constant vigilance on future capacity requirements. In 1980, studies drove a decision to build a coal power station based on the fact that there were no significant energy sources apart from uranium at Ranger and a need for relatively small scale generation precluded the use of nuclear power. Stokes Hill power house was aged, was only 400 metres from Darwin Central Business District and was a heavy polluter burning bunker oil. Gas had been considered but at this time insufficient reserves had been proven at Palm Valley (50 PJ versus an economic requirement of about 250 PJ), gas reserves at Mereenie were considered unavailable as it would be used for reservoir pressure maintenance to recover the oil until about 2000 and industrial disputes and the costs of imported pipe, materials and skills drove estimates for pipeline construction to be more than the coal option. Offshore reserves at Petrel were known but development was thought to be contingent upon an LNG facility and current prices were assumed unable to meet the economic hurdle for such a decision until the mid-1990’s1. By 1983, the coal decision was well advanced, coal would be shipped from eastern States, and a plan for the Darwin electricity system to be extended to Katherine and Jabiru were under consideration.

  • Michael Chamberlain Kept His Faith Despite Loss and Public Shame.’
    Networked Knowledge Media Reports Networked Knowledge Northern Territory Homepage This page set up by Dr Robert N Moles On 18 January 2017 Malcolm Brown reported ‘Michael Chamberlain kept his faith despite loss and public shame.’ Veteran journalist shares intimate memories of the personal strength of Azaria’s father Malcolm Brown is a former reporter with the Sydney Morning Herald. From 1980 to 2012, he covered the high-profile case of the Northern Territory disappearance of baby Azaria Chamberlain. One of the most notorious criminal cases in Australia, Azaria’s disappearance came to focus upon her mother Lindy and father Michael. On January 12, Michael Chamberlain died due to issues related to leukaemia. Across three decades of covering the Chamberlain case, Malcolm Brown came to know Michael and he was asked to speak at a Memorial Service for him, held at the Avondale College Church in Cooranbong on the NSW central coast on Monday, January 16. He gave Eternity permission to publish what he shared: Michael, sadly, had died at Gosford on January 12, from a blood disorder which appears to have come on him quickly. I wrote the first news story and an obituary, but was surprised by the huge public response and what appeared to be a genuine outpouring of grief. Supporters came from everywhere, including John Bryson, whose book, Evil Angels, had made a significant contribution to changing public perceptions on the case; Norm Young, whose book, Innocence Regained, had told the story of the Chamberlains’ fight for justice; and Professor Ray Watterson, from Newcastle University, who had sponsored Michael in his academic career.
