  • The Death of Captain Cook in Theatre 224
    The Many Deaths of Captain Cook A Study in Metropolitan Mass Culture, 1780-1810 Ruth Scobie PhD University of York Department of English April 2013 i Ruth Scobie The Many Deaths of Captain Cook Abstract This thesis traces metropolitan representations, between 1780 and 1810, of the violent death of Captain James Cook at Kealakekua Bay in Hawaii. It takes an interdisciplinary approach to these representations, in order to show how the interlinked texts of a nascent commercial culture initiated the creation of a colonial character, identified by Epeli Hau’ofa as the looming “ghost of Captain Cook.” The introduction sets out the circumstances of Cook’s death and existing metropolitan reputation in 1779. It situates the figure of Cook within contemporary mechanisms of ‘celebrity,’ related to notions of mass metropolitan culture. It argues that previous accounts of Cook’s fame have tended to overemphasise the immediacy and unanimity with which the dead Cook was adopted as an imperialist hero; with the result that the role of the scene within colonialist histories can appear inevitable, even natural. In response, I show that a contested mythology around Cook’s death was gradually constructed over the three decades after the incident took place, and was the contingent product of a range of texts, places, events, and individuals. The first section examines responses to the news of Cook’s death in January 1780, focusing on the way that the story was mediated by, first, its status as ‘news,’ created by newspapers; and second, the effects on Londoners of the Gordon riots in June of the same year.

  • Out of Control Climate Change in Cook: Hotter, Drier and Winter No More
    October 2018 Out of control climate change in Cook: Hotter, drier and winter no more Key points • Climate data modelling by the Science Division of the Queensland Department of Environment and Science (DES)1 shows that by mid-century communities in the federal electoral division of Cook would be markedly hotter, on average 15 per cent drier and experience more periods of extreme heat because of high global emissions. • By 2050, the seasonal cycles in Cook would be unrecognisable. Existing average winter conditions would not occur. Spring and Autumn conditions would move towards the middle of the year and contract to four and a half months combined. The rest of the year would be dominated by warmer temperatures associated with summer and joined by an extended and dangerous ‘new summer’ period. • This new climate would pose greater threats to human health and critical public infrastructure in the electorate. It would also require plant and animal species in the area to rapidly adapt to a heightened level of climate change, with many unlikely to cope. Federal electorate climate impact analysis The Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) has commissioned design and data experts at the Australian National University (ANU) School of Art and Design to analyse existing climate model projections and apply them to selected federal electorates ahead of the 1 Queensland Government LongPaddock project, which uses the SILO database (http://www.longpaddock.qld.gov.au/silo) and is operated by DES. The climate ‘change factors’ used to calculate consistent climate scenarios data have been estimated using: Coupled Model Intercomparison Research Program 3 (CMIP3) patterns of change data (projected changes per degree of 21st Century global warming) supplied by the CSIRO and the UK Met Office/Hadley Centre; and data from AR4 SRES scenario temperature response curves (projected amounts of global warming) supplied by the CSIRO.

  • The Federal Redistribution 2006 NEW SOUTH WALES, Suggestion
    24 March 2006 Redistribution Committee for New South Wales Level 4, Roden Cutler House 24 Campbell Street, Haymarket, NSW 2000 Dear Commissioners, I attach the suggestion of the Australian Labor Party, (NSW Branch), for your consideration. This includes a map for each suggested Division and is provided by CD-ROM containing the MapInfo data used by the Australian Electoral Commission. Kind regards, Mark Arbib GENERAL SECRETARY Australian Labor Party (NSW Branch) Suggestions 1 of 36 AUSTRALIAN LABOR PARTY (NEW SOUTH WALES BRANCH) SUGGESTIONS 24TH MARCH, 2006. INTRODUCTION AND APPROACH ADOPTED The suggestions made by the Australian Labor Party (ALP) are the end product of a process that includes extensive consultation with both MP’s and party units. We had to take into account several considerations before making our suggestions. One consideration which frankly, we had to consider is the fact that the current boundaries are the most biased against the ALP in the entire history of Australia. Following the 2004 election, the Australian Labor Party (ALP) has 60 of the 150 seats in the House of Representatives. In 2004 the ALP’s national two party preferred (2PP) vote was 47.3%. On current electoral boundaries, for the ALP to win a majority (76) of Divisions it requires a uniform swing of 5% or 52.3% 2PP. In NSW, in 2004, on current boundaries, for the ALP to win a majority (26) it would have needed 53.4% of the 2PP vote in the State. Yet this state of affairs has arisen in spite of the 1984 reforms to the Australian Electoral Act of one vote one value.

    94 QUEENSLAND—ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF DEFENCE THE COLONY ESTABLISHMENT (Read by Commander N. S. Pixley, M.B.E., V.R.D., on July 26, 1958) On Separation from New South Wales on December 10, 1859, the responsibilities assumed by the new and sparsely populated Colony of Queensland included the defence of its long coastline of over 3,000 miles and its vast area of 670,500 square miles; an area as large as Great Britain, Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal and Italy together, or twice the area of New South Wales, but with a population of only 25,000 approximately, of which almost one third was concen­ trated in the towns of Brisbane and Ipswich in the far South-Eastern corner of the Colony. The small detachment of Imperial troops in Brisbane having been withdrawn some years before, the Colony lacked even the nucleus of a defence organi­ sation upon which to build. Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton (afterwards Lord Lytton) Minister of State for the Colonies, had, in a letter dated April 29, 1859, informed the Governor- elect, Sir George Bowen, of his appointment and included some sound advice as to the duties and bear­ ing of a Colonial Governor. The letter, which is quoted by Sir George in his book "Thirty years of Colonial Government," included the following:— "You will, as soon as possible, exert all energy and persuasion to induce the Colonists to see to their self defence internally. "Try to establish a good police: If you can then get the superior class of Colonist to assist in forming a Militia or Volunteer Corps, spare no pains to do so.
