Murray's 1995 Australian Film noted that the cast credits were white against a bleached sky and on video were totally unreadable, and so the book took its credits from the Monthly Film Bulletin.

  • Australian Law Enforcement
    Australian Law Enforcement In Australia, no one is above the law and all are subject to the law. This is called the rule of law. For the rule of law to be effective, it requires the law of the land to be known and followed by all citizens. An important component of maintaining Australia’s justice system is law enforcement, which ensures that everyone follows the law. Federal, state, and territory law enforcement services protect the community by preserving the peace, upholding the law, develop and run programs in crime prevention, aid in emergencies, and manage emergency incidents. Law enforcement agencies are subject and accountable to the law and have a responsibility to enforce legislation, which is passed through the different levels of governance in Australian society. Their origins began with the arrival of convicts on the First Fleet from England, back in 1788. And whilst the new settlement began as a penal colony, the evolution of the colony into a free society began developing as early as two weeks, when legal processes were put into effect to resolve any disputes and grievances that had arisen amongst the new inhabitants, including convicts. Australia's First Cops Were All Criminals Today, there are three main levels of law enforcement available in Australia which serves to protect citizens. They are: Federal State/Territory Local In addition to these levels, there are several other agencies that have powers to enforce Australian law in specific areas. Some examples include: o Australian Border Force - customs and immigration o Australian Defence Force – military police o Australian Securities and Intelligence Organisation – national security Each level has its own requirements and expectations, which all citizens in society are expected to know and follow.

Instead, a diversity of agencies, laws, practices and ethical codes are required to effectively tackle misconduct and promote integrity (Brown, 2005). The existing mechanisms available in Tasmania to respond to misconduct and promote integrity include: Parliament; The Ombudsman; The State Service Commissioner; The Auditor-General; The Director of Public Prosecutions; Tasmania Police; Commissions of Inquiry; and Legislation – including the Freedom of Information Act 1991, the Public Interest Disclosures Act 2002, and relevant provisions of the State Service Act 2000 and the Local Government Act 1993. Mechanisms such as codes of conduct help to promote integrity, while mechanisms such as freedom of information legislation and the oversight provided by parliamentary committees and the Auditor-General promote transparency.

  • Medallion No 7 1960 Burke and Wills Expedition Centenary
    NUMISMATIC ASSOCIATION OF VICTORIA Medallion No 7 1960 Burke and Wills Expedition Centenary Event Commemorated This medallion was issued to commemorate centenary of the Burke and Wills expedition which was the first to cross Australia from South to North. The early settlement of Australia was around the coastal fringes. As settlers sought more land for grazing cattle and sheep, and also for growing crops, explorers penetrated further into the interior of the continent. A significant cash prize was offered for the first exploring party to cross the continent from south to north. The newly formed Royal Society of Victoria sponsored the Victorian Exploring Expedition, led by Robert O’Hara Burke, left Melbourne on 20 August 1860 and reached Menindee (on the Darling River in New South Wales) on 14 October. On 19 October, part of the expedition headed northwest and established a depot on Cooper Creek on 11 November. William Wright, the third in command, had been instructed to follow with the supplies at the first opportunity; however he delayed leaving Medindie until 26 January 1861. Leaving William Brahe in charge of the Depot, Burke, long with William John Wills (second in command), John King, and Charles Grey had headed north on 16 December 1860 and reached the Gulf of Carpentaria on 11 February 1861 becoming the first to cross the continent from south to north. On the return trip to Coopers Creek, Grey died on 17 April. The other three reached the Depot late on 21 April only hours after the rest of the Expedition had left that morning! Instead of following Brahe’s party back to Medindie (650 km without water), the explorers followed Cooper Creek downstream (with the idea of eventually getting to Adelaide via Mt Hopeless, 250 km away, where there was a police outpost).

I captured bushranger Mathew Brady and married a runaway convict Eliza Callaghan. We had seven children in all. At Melbourne’s first land sale in 1837. I bought the Young and Jackson Hotel site opposite Flinders Street Station and built a home for my children.! Benjamin Baxter , Pioneer (1819 –1906) I arrived with wife Martha only two years after settlement. We had had nine children in all. St Kilda Road was once called Baxter’s Track after me. My first job was a convict supervisor. Later Martha and I ran the first Melbourne Post Office before becoming graziers. We lived to a great age and explored and founded the town of Baxter, south of Melbourne. Not a bad effort, eh? Captain John Lancey, founder of the site of Melbourne I was the captain of John Fawkner's schooner Enterprize , and in 1835 I chose the site on the Yarra that became the City of Melbourne. Yes I was the true founder of Melbourne, not that scrawny jumped-up little Johnny Fawkner. John Murray, discoverer of Port Phillip Bay (c.1775– c.1807) I discovered and was the first European ever to enter Port Phillip Bay, the bay on which the cities of Melbourne and Geelong are situated.
