MOUND & ALICE WELLS Australian National Insect Collection CSIRO, PO Box 1700, Canberra, ACT 2601. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The thrips fauna of Norfolk Island is a curious mix of endemics and adventives, with notable absences that include one major trophic group. A brief introduction is provided to the history of human settlement and its ecological impact on this tiny land mass in the western Pacific Ocean. The Thysanoptera fauna comprises about 20% endemic and almost 50% widespread invasive species, and shows limited faunal relationships to the nearest territories, Australia, New Caledonia and New Zealand. This fauna, comprising 66 species, includes among named species 29 Terebrantia and 33 Tubulifera, with four Tubulifera remaining undescribed. At least 12 species are endemics, of which 10 are mycophagous, and up to 10 further species are possibly native to the island. As with the thrips fauna of most Pacific islands, many species are wide- spread invasives. However, most of the common thrips of eastern Australia have not been found on Norfolk Island, and the complete absence of leaf-feeding Phlaeothripinae is notable. The following new taxa are described: in the Phlaeothrip- idae, Buffettithrips rauti gen. et sp. n. and Priesneria akestra sp.

Sport has been isolated as a site of the "expression of sexuality in men" (Reekie 33). As Alice Jardine notes, the last twenty years of gender criti- cism directs men to address a number of issues. In calling on them to be "talking your body, not talking about it," she presents a research program that looks at men and war, men and textual representation, and men and sport as its axes of concern (Jardine 61). This does not have to be a self- lacerating experience for men. It might, in fact, even leaven such processes. For while pain is a crucial component of most sports, sporting pain that is produced directly from contact with other bodies remains as gendered (male) as it is violent (Synnott 166). Despite its fashionability within left, feminist, and postcolonial literary theory, "the body" is of minimal interest to theorists when it plays sport.

  • Western Pacific Odyssey 13Th March to 12Th April 2020 (31 Days)
    Western Pacific Odyssey 13th March to 12th April 2020 (31 days) Short-tailed Albatross by Adam Riley Known in birding circles, simply as the ‘WPO’, this expedition incorporates many of the key birding areas in the South West Pacific. First offered in 2007, it is now considered one of the ‘must do’ expeditions for any birder because of opportunities to see some of the rarest pelagic seabirds in the world plus many island endemics. But it is not only for ‘birders’. The cetacean list can only be described as outstanding and if you ever tire of birding or cetacean watching then there are numerous snorkelling, swimming and relaxing opportunities. RBL Western Pacific Odyssey Itinerary 2 After departing the Port of Tauranga, in New Zealand we sail for the rich waters of the Hauraki Gulf where there are numerous endemic species, including the recently discovered New Zealand Storm Petrel. From there it’s northward to Norfolk Island for a day. Next stop is New Caledonia where we search for the amazing Kagu and other endemics in the Rivière Bleue National Park. We then spend five exciting days in the Solomon Islands birding on Rennell, Makira, Guadalcanal (Mt Austin), Santa Isabel and Kolombangara, before cruising across the New Britain Trench, an area known to be extremely rich in cetaceans. As we sail along the coasts of Bougainville and New Ireland, we will look for two extremely poorly known seabirds, Heinroth’s Shearwater and the recently rediscovered Beck’s Petrel, both of which we have seen on almost all our previous expeditions in this region.

  • RUGBY LEAGUE and the LAW CHRIS DAVIES* Abstract Rugby
    RUGBY LEAGUE AND THE LAW CHRIS DAVIES* Abstract Rugby league has been played in Australia for over a hundred years. While some cases originate from when the sport was semi-professional, the rise of professional leagues over the last two decades has also seen an increase in the involvement of the law. It is suggested that rugby league has been involved in more litigation than any other sport in Australia, with there being legal cases in areas such as competition law, restraint of trade, torts, criminal law and copyright. It is also suggested that some of these cases could have been avoided with better governance and administration. The draft system once implemented by rugby league, for example, was poorly designed and inevitably successfully challenged. However, other cases could have happened in a number of other sports and, at other times, other sports were actually involved in the litigation. Thus, there are a number of reasons why rugby league has experienced more litigation than other Australian sports. I INTRODUCTION The North Queensland Cowboys’ win in the 2015 National Rugby League (NRL) Grand Final was the culmination of over twenty years participation in a national competition, and represented the club’s first ever premiership. For South Sydney, meanwhile, the 2014 Premiership was its first in over forty years, the length of time this represented being indicated by the fact its previous premiership, in 1971, had been won in a competition organised by the New South Wales Rugby League (NSWLR). This competition, however, was not even the precursor of the NRL, Australia’s main rugby league competition having been run by the Australian Rugby League (ARL) in between those of the NSWRL and NRL.
