The AER confirmed on 28 September 2020 that: “…the AER considers that the updated cost benefit analysis provides a not unreasonable basis for ElectraNet’s opinion that PEC remains the preferred option. We expect both ElectraNet and TransGrid to submit full and complete contingent project applications for PEC as soon as possible.” On 29 September 2020, the ElectraNet Board approved submission of a contingent project application (CPA) based on the AER’s confirmation and the CPA was submitted to the AER on 30 September 2020. This note reviews several subsequently announced policies and other changes in the National Electricity Market (NEM) and considers the impact that these could have on the benefits of PEC.

Murray River Operations Report 07 March 2012
RIVER MURRAY WEEKLY REPORT FOR THE WEEK ENDING WEDNESDAY, 07 MARCH 2012 Trim Ref: D12/8591 Rainfall and Inflows Further heavy rain across large areas of the Murray-Darling Basin this week (Map 1) has contributed to major flooding in areas of northern Victoria, and along parts of the Murrumbidgee, Macquarie, Lachlan and upper Murray Rivers. The rain also increased flows along reaches of the already flooded Darling River. Some of the highest rainfall totals during the week included 386 mm at Thredbo, 351 mm at Mount Buffalo, 299 mm at Burrinjuck Dam, 275 mm at Mt Ginini AWS, 247 mm at Grong Grong, 231 mm at Osbournes Flat, 210 mm at Wilcannia, 207 mm at Albury, 198 mm at Trunkey Creek, 166 mm at Chiltern, 164 mm at Parkes, 163 mm at Crookwell, 132 mm at Narromine and 123 mm at Bourke. Some of these locations had also recorded more than 100 mm in the previous week, for example 525 mm was recorded at Mount Buffalo from this event. Map 1 - Murray-Darling Basin rainfall for the week ending 7th March 2012 (Source: Bureau of Meteorology) On the upper Murray, the flow at Jingellic peaked above the major flood level at 132,000 ML/day, which has contributed to daily inflows to Hume Reservoir of more than 100,000 ML/day. At Hinnomunjie, on the Mitta Mitta River upstream of Dartmouth, the flow reached 14,500 ML/day and daily inflow to Dartmouth Reservoir exceeded 20,000 ML on a couple of days.

Patterns of Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Century Land Use by Punjabi Hawkers in Southern New South Wales, Australia
225 D.H.R. Spennemann: Patterns of Land Use Patterns of Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Century Land Use by Punjabi Hawkers in Southern New South Wales, Australia Dirk HR Spennemann Institute for Land Water and Society; Charles Sturt University ________________________________________________________________ Abstract.—At the end of the nineteenth century a large number of Punjabi men went to Australia to further their family’s financial and social fortunes at home. The majority of these men went into the hawking trade, providing a crucial service to the expanding Australian farming communities. Yet, in the dominant Australian settler narrative they have been characterized, by and large, as mere ephemeral players. Drawing on in‐depth research on the presence of Punjabi men in in the Riverina of News South Wales, one of colonial Australia’s most productive wool and wheat regions, this paper demonstrates that their relationship to the land was not nearly as tenuous as some writers would have it. Rather, the picture is quite multi‐facetted, with many Punjabi owning land, either as urban bases for their operations, as investment properties until their return to India, or as land that they farmed with the intent of making Australia their new home. ________________________________________________________________ Nineteenth century Australian society was heavily gendered and socially normed, with those who did not conform being watched with suspicion and often institutionalised.1 The common narrative was one of a white settler community, alienating land and making a livelihood for themselves and their family.2 As such movement was unidirectional,3 1.

Gender Bias After Death: The Case of the Clergical Cemetery, St. John’s Orphanage, Thurgoona, NSW, Australia By Dirk HR Spennemann1 Abstract Cemeteries are commonly seen as reflective of the historic environment in which they were created and therefore form a unique interpretive tool for the cultural heritage manager. As this case study of clergical cemetery documents, physical heritage of a cemetery may well reflect the power hierarchy at the time, but it does not accurately reflect the historic reality. The effective manipulation of the tangible evidence left behind for future generations has effectively enshrined a gender bias in perpetutity.
