(b) Local Government and Planning Legislation Amendment (Political Donations) Act 2008 No disclosures were made by any members of the public at this meeting of Council. Monday 21 September 2009 914 ITEM 3.1 ABANDONED SHOPPING TROLLEYS FILE NO: MINUTE BY THE LORD MAYOR To Council: The number of shopping trolleys dumped in public areas of the City has increased dramatically. Many of the retailers who should be managing their trolleys are not meeting their responsibility. Abandoned trolleys can obstruct and endanger pedestrians, can damage motor vehicles and are often used as impromptu rubbish bins. They are dumped in our parks and landscaped nature strips. They have environmental impacts when they enter waterways and can interfere with public services. Abandoned shopping trolleys are unacceptable urban blight. Most retailers who provide shopping trolleys are required to have a management plan detailing how they will keep trolleys on their site and recover any trolleys that leave the site. Typically this requires abandoned trolleys to be collected within 24 hours. In the last 12 months the City has reported over 9,000 trolleys abandoned on public land. This does not include trolleys

  • Full Thesis Draft No Pics
    A whole new world: Global revolution and Australian social movements in the long Sixties Jon Piccini BA Honours (1st Class) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2013 School of History, Philosophy, Religion & Classics Abstract This thesis explores Australian social movements during the long Sixties through a transnational prism, identifying how the flow of people and ideas across borders was central to the growth and development of diverse campaigns for political change. By making use of a variety of sources—from archives and government reports to newspapers, interviews and memoirs—it identifies a broadening of the radical imagination within movements seeking rights for Indigenous Australians, the lifting of censorship, women’s liberation, the ending of the war in Vietnam and many others. It locates early global influences, such as the Chinese Revolution and increasing consciousness of anti-racist struggles in South Africa and the American South, and the ways in which ideas from these and other overseas sources became central to the practice of Australian social movements. This was a process aided by activists’ travel. Accordingly, this study analyses the diverse motives and experiences of Australian activists who visited revolutionary hotspots from China and Vietnam to Czechoslovakia, Algeria, France and the United States: to protest, to experience or to bring back lessons. While these overseas exploits, breathlessly recounted in articles, interviews and books, were transformative for some, they also exposed the limits of what a transnational politics could achieve in a local setting. Australia also became a destination for the period’s radical activists, provoking equally divisive responses.

  • Jaffas in the Suburbs – the Cinemas of Sydney's Eastern Fringe
    Jaffas in the suburbs – the cinemas of Sydney’s eastern fringe John Walter Ross “The showing of cinematograph pictures has now developed into a permanent business of extensive proportions, and temporary structures which were erected in the suburban areas during the speculative period of the business and which are of a more or less make-shift character have served their purpose. The time has arrived when these temporary structures in the interests of the public should be replaced with permanent up-to-date buildings…for the safety, health and comfort of the public”.
