Both programs were found to be cost‐effective, scientifically robust if managed diligently, and supported by the angling community, fishery managers, and researchers as methods suitable for monitoring recreational fisheries. RAD and GAD programs can foster greater stewardship and engagement of stakeholders in the collection of information needed for fisheries management and sustainable use of key fisheries resources in recreational fisheries. Whilst such programs are reliable and most cost‐effective for monitoring any‐sized recreational fishery, they are particularly suited to providing data for assessment of small‐scale, data‐ poor recreational fisheries in estuarine and inland waters. Accepted by researchers across Australia, the findings from the present study resolved the debate about whether ‘angler‐diary’ data provide for satisfactory scientific rigour in monitoring

  • Defence Policy-Making
    Chapter 1 The Road to Russell A career in the Public Service which closed after a decade as Secretary to the Department of Defence started from what might seem an unlikely origin. In 1942, aged 28, I was brought to Canberra from a wartime reserved occupation to work on analysing Australia's interests in the international economic and financial regulations being proposed for Australia's responses by the British and American planners who were preparing for a better world system after the war had been won. For a short period I was made responsible to Dr Roland Wilson (later Secretary to the Treasury), but in 1943 the Labor Government created the Department of Post-War Reconstruction, with J.B. Chifley as its Minister (and concurrently Treasurer) and Dr H.C. `Nugget' Coombs as its Director-General. I worked under Coombs for several years, preparing papers and advice for several of Australia's most senior economists on the problems to be expected, and the safeguards needed, to protect Australia in the impact of these post-war plans of the two major economic powers. Over the years, I attended several international conferences arranged to discuss and to amend and endorse these plans, beginning with the 1944 Bretton Woods International Monetary Conference. External Affairs 1945 I was seconded into the Department of External Affairs in 1945. That Department, under the urging of Dr J.W. Burton, was seeking a role in policy in these economic fields, particularly with the prospect of the United Nations and other institutions being set up with various regulatory powers.

  • Bob Hitchcock
    5. His father’s son: Bob Hitchcock In August 1940 anyone familiar with Australia’s recent aviation history would probably recognise the name Bob Hitchcock. Not the 28-year-old Flight Lieutenant Hitchcock who was trained to take the controls of the latest Hudson bombers to be delivered to the RAAF’s No. 2 Squadron. But his father, the tragedy of whose death while searching for Charles Kingsford-Smith’s missing Southern Cross had been on every Australian front page and silent cinema newsreel in 1929, and in books and countless articles in the years that followed. Henry Smith ‘Bob’ Hitchcock had perished with Keith Anderson in a futile attempt to find the aviation heroes Charles Kingsford-Smith and Charles Ulm. His name was perpetually inscribed alongside those of some of Australia’s most celebrated aviators.1 Bob Hitchcock senior was born in Broken Hill in 1891. With his mother and 12 siblings he followed his father Harry in search of work to Adelaide and further west to Kalgoorlie, Perth, and Fremantle. Little is recorded of his childhood. He attended South Kalgoorlie Primary School until he was 12 or 13. His sister Pretoria remembered him about this time occasionally disappearing into his father’s workshop and reappearing with a tiny wooden aeroplane fashioned from a clothes peg. Other accounts suggest a continuing fascination with building model aircraft. Apprenticed as a bricklayer (his father’s trade), Bob ― as he preferred to be known ― did not complete the apprenticeship. By the time he married Violet Bourne in 1911 his parents had separated and his mother had settled in Perth with the younger children.
