  • Forests Agreement Bill 2012, Hobart 5/2/13 (M.Mansell/Maynard/C.Mansell) 1 the Legislative Council Select Committee on the Tasma
    THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL SELECT COMMITTEE ON THE TASMANIAN FORESTS AGREEMENT BILL 2012 MET IN COMMITTEE ROOM 1, PARLIAMENT HOUSE, HOBART ON WEDNESDAY 6 FEBRUARY 2013. Mr MICHAEL MANSELL, CHAIR, Ms SARA MAYNARD, TASMANIAN ABORIGINAL CENTRE, AND Mr CLYDE MANSELL, CHAIR, ABORIGINAL LAND COUNCIL OF TASMANIA, WERE CALLED, MADE THE STATUTORY DECLARATION AND WERE EXAMINED. CHAIR (Mr Harriss) - Welcome. You are familiar with parliamentary committees and that you are protected by parliamentary privilege while in here but not so outside these hearings. Clearly, if asked by the media for comment, you need to be cautious about how you respond to questions, or initiate your own comments with regard to the hearing. Michael first, please? Mr MICHAEL MANSELL - Thank you, Mr Chair, and thanks everybody for giving us the time to present to you a bit of an overview of how the Aboriginal community became involved in the talks about the forestry agreement in the first place, and what we had hoped to gain by that involvement, and where we are now as a result of the things that have taken place. In late 2011 we thought that the forestry agreement would probably require Forestry Tasmania, or the forestry industry, asking for Forest Stewardship Council certification. We understood at the time that was an internationally recognised body, and therefore the certification that came from it attaching to forest products would be of benefit to the industry. I wrote to Forestry Tasmania as a starting point of wanting to have talks with industry. I can't remember the content of the letter, but I think I essentially said that the Aboriginal community had an interest in this.

This approach enables the regional character and diversity of Aboriginal communities to be brought into focus; it also facilitates an . ex:a.miJ,lation of the QJlique process of dispossession that took place in the North West region, an area totally under the control of the Van Diemen's Land Company (VDL Co).

One of the largest gatherings of Aborigines at pilri (Cape Grim) in almost 200 years took place on Sunday 12th March 2017. We stood together there, talking our language again with each other. In the past, families would come together here to access the muttonbird rookeries on nearby islands. But for many decades we did not have access to these places after they became part of the VDL Company's land grant. The significance of the day was not lost on the men, women and children who came there. We were in awe of the magnificent landscape before us. At just how close the islands that have been harvesting grounds for yula (mutton birds) since time immemorial are to the coastline on which we stood. We could almost reach out and touch ranamitim (The Doughboys).

How strong were those women! luna rrala-warr! We imagined families sitting around the fires, eating and sharing all the things that families do.

Abalone Fishery Assessment: 2003 Abalone Fishery Assessment: 2003 Executive summary The 2003 Abalone Fishery Assessment was based primarily on commercial catch-effort statistics and size-composition data from the Tasmanian fishery for blacklip abalone (Haliotis rubra) and greenlip abalone (H. laevigata). Commercial catch and effort data were supplied by the Tasmanian Department of Primary Industry, Water and Environment. These data were obtained from catch dockets provided by licensed divers. Catch rates were derived from the catch-effort data and annual variation in catch rate was interpreted as a relative index of abalone abundance. The size-composition data were mostly collected by TAFI research staff, but some data were obtained directly from divers. Changes in size-composition from commercial catch samples were used to assess variation in levels of fishing mortality across years.

  • Tasmanian Aboriginal Place Names
    TASMANIAN ABORIGINAL PLACE NAMES N.J.B. Plomley Honorary Research Associate Queen Victoria Museum & Art Gallery With the assistance of Caroline Goodall Queen Victoria Museum & Art Gallery N.J.B. Plomley Tasmanian Aboriginal Place Names Occasional Paper No.3 Queen Victoria Museum & Art Gallery Tasmania Cover design taken from Aboriginal rock-carvings at Marrawah, NW Tasmania. CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 4 ABORIGINAL PLACE NAMES 5 INDEX 96 BIBLIOGRAPHY 98 3 INTRODUCTION Although it has been possible to assemble about seven hundred names given to places in Tasmania by the Aborigines, mostly from the journals and other records of George Augustus Robinson, few of them have been applied to the same place by the settlers who later renamed places in Tasmania according to their own whims. This situation is unlike that found in most other regions of Australia, where there is a sprinkling of Aboriginal names among the settlers' names, which are usually those of British places and people. The paucity of Aboriginal place names in TasmaniCi was, in fact, commented upon many years ago, when the Sydney Colonist of 14 April, 1838, remarked ­ Whereas every district of New South Wales is quite studded with native names, yet in Van Diemen's Land the Editor "could not find after diligent enquiry, that a single locality in all Van Diemen's Land is known to the colonist by its ancient native name, or is even known to have had a native name at all. The ancient Celts and Britons left ten thousand aboriginal names of places in England and Scotland when they were nearly exterminated in the low countries and driven to the mountains of Scotland and Wales by our forefathers the Saxons.
