Key Messaging Key Messaging Report Time I 14/06/2020 10:30 Report ID R17916622 Event I COVID-19 Key Messaging ● As at 7.00am on Sunday 14 June 2020, Queensland has recorded 1,065 cases, no more than yesterday. This in- cludes 1,051 cases who have recovered.* ● The Chief Health Officer has declared a number of COVID-19 hotspots in Victoria. Queenslanders returning from these areas will need to self-quarantine for 14 days. ● Hotspots: Melbourne City, Hume City, Casey City, Brimbank City, Wyndham City, Melton City, Morelands City, Monash City, Knox City Boroondara City, Greater Dandenong City, Yarra City and Banyule City. ● The Chief Health Officer has confirmed that while the Melbourne Tullamarine Airport is located in the Hume Local Government Area (currently listed as a COVID-19 hotspot), individuals entering the Hume LGA for the sole purpose of accessing the airport or by virtue of a flight transiting through the airport are not considered to have ‘visited’ the hotspot. However, individuals who leave the airport and go out into the local community would be classified as visiting a hotspot whilst the area the airport is located remains a hotspot. ● The Chief Health Officer has approved a number of Industry Plans, available on covid19.qld.gov.au. ● Queenslanders are being told they are ‘Good to Go’ as Tourism and Events Queensland launches a major new campaign to promote intrastate travel and support the state’s tourism industry. Holiday inspiration and deals can be found at the brand new, world-class Queensland.com ● The ‘Queensland Economic Recovery Strategy: Unite and Recover for Queensland Jobs’ is a suite of initiatives designed to reinvigorate the Queensland economy in partnership with the private sector. ● The Queensland Government has a three-stage plan for a COVID-safe Queensland, allowing more travel, more activities and larger gatherings. Visit the COVID-19 Roadmap to easing restrictions. ● The Queensland Government has provided guidance on the COVID-19 website for businesses wanting to un- derstand the COVID Safe Businesses framework and how industries can submit Industry COVID Safe Plans for approval to operate with more customers than the baseline restrictions. ● Download the voluntary COVIDSafe app to help slow the spread of coronavirus through early notification of possible exposure. COVIDSafe is available on both iOS and Android. Visit covidsafe.gov.au for full details. ● Queenslanders are urged to get their flu vaccination as soon as possible with the peak season from June to September. Vaccinations are available at doctors’ surgeries, local pharmacies or at the workplace. ● For the most up-to-date information on COVID-19 including government support, visit covid19.qld.gov.au. * NB: Changes may occur in the number of notifications reported from day to day. This is due to Queensland Health’s ongoing maintenance and update of notification details as new information becomes available, or where discrepan- cies are detected through data quality assurance activities. Each day, total cases may not equal active plus recovered plus deaths, as information for some cases is still pending and will be updated in due course. Key guidelines Key Messaging ● Queenslanders can travel anywhere within Queensland, with the exception of restricted areas, including overnight or multi-night stays. ● Stage 2 of the Government’s easing of restrictions allows more businesses to safely reopen, or expand their services. Businesses will need to comply with measures to protect our community. ● From 12:00pm 1 June 2020, this includes: ○ an increase of up to 20 seated patrons at restaurants, cafes and pubs ○ accommodation, including caravan parks, can now open for all customers. ● A number of businesses who previously remained closed can reopen with up to 20 customers or patrons, in- cluding: ○ gyms, health clubs and yoga studios ○ community sports clubs ○ tourism experiences ○ museums and art galleries, cinemas, amusement parks and zoos, concert venues, theatres and stadiums ○ tanning, tattoo parlours and spas (excluding water-based spa services such as saunas and bathhouses). ● Up to 20 guests are now allowed at weddings and up to 50 mourners at a funeral. ● Some businesses may be allowed to have more patrons/customers by adopting an approved Industry COVID SAFE Plan. ○ Businesses with more space can host a maximum 20 people in each defined area of their business, if they follow an approved Industry COVID SAFE Plan. ● The numbers allowed are a maximum. All businesses allowed to operate must ensure they adhere to one per- son per four square metres. ● The Chief Health Officer has declared a number of Victorian local government areas as COVID-19 hotspots: Melbourne City, Hume City, Casey City, Brimbank City, Wyndham City, Melton City, Morelands City, Monash City, Knox City Boroondara City, Greater Dandenong City, Yarra City and Banyule City. ● Queenslanders returning from these areas will need to self-quarantine for 14 days. ● All Queenslanders returning home from interstate require a valid Queensland Entry Pass. Online applications can be made at qld.gov.au/border-pass. ● Failure to comply with quarantine directions can result in on the spot fines of $1,334 for individuals and $6,670 for corporations. They may also face criminal charges and further penalties. Health and Ambulance ● To date, most of Queensland’s cases are either people who have recently returned from overseas or have had close contact with those people. ● Wash your hands often and properly with soap and water, or use alcohol-based rub. ● Practice social distancing, which means: ○ Stay at home if you are sick ○ Keep 1.5 metres away from others as much as possible ○ Avoid shaking hands, kissing or hugging others ○ If you can, work from home ● Most people (around 80%) will only develop mild illness and recover easily. Older people, and those with un- derlying medical problems are more likely to develop severe illness. ● You are at higher risk of infection if you have had face-to-face contact with a confirmed case for more than 15 minutes or have shared an enclosed space with them for more than two hours. Page 2 of 12 Key Messaging ● In Queensland, testing may be done for people who have any COVID-19 symptoms, no matter how mild. Symptoms may include: ○ Fever ○ Cough ○ Sore throat ○ Shortness of breath ○ Runny nose ○ Fatigue ● If you are unwell and you meet the above criteria, you should contact a doctor immediately. ● It’s normal to feel concerned when big events happen in the world. We have tips in our blog post about how to look after your mental wellbeing in a crisis. ● Stay up-to-date with accurate information by visiting health.qld.gov.au/coronavirus. ● The Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) has implemented extra screening measures for patients calling Triple Zero (000) to identify potential COVID-19 cases. ● Transport to hospital of children who have a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19 remains unchanged. The QAS attempts to ensure a parent, guardian or carer is transported safely with children but on rare occa- sions, where the paramedic team are undertaking complex care, they may be transported in the front of the vehicle or in a second ambulance vehicle. Queensland Government assistance ● Overall the Queensland Government has committed more than $6 billion worth of COVID-19 support initia- tives, including measures for impacted businesses, workers, households, communities and the health sector. These include: ○ $1.2 billion to expand fever clinics, emergency department capacity, acute care services and regional aeromedical services for remote communities. ○ A $1 billion concessional Jobs Support Loan facility, interest free for the first 12 months, to support busi- nesses to keep Queenslanders in work. ○ A $1 billion Industry Support Package focused on large and regionally significant businesses to ensure they will be able to scale up and service the community when economic activity improves. ○ Up to $950 million in payroll tax relief including refunds, payment holidays and deferrals for eligible busi- nesses as well as a tax exemption for JobKeeper payments. ○ $500 million to assist workers and businesses who lose their job or income, including the creation of the Jobs Finder portal. ○ $500 million in utilities bill relief for households and businesses, including a $200 credit for all 2.1 million Queensland homes to offset the cost of water and electricity and $100 million in electricity bill rebates for eligible small and medium sized businesses. ○ $400 million for an accelerated works program for new road, bridge and pavement sealing. ○ $400 million in support for retail and commercial tenants, delivered as land tax relief and payment defer- rals. ○ A further $200 million in 2020-21 for a Works for Queensland program. ● Other support: ○ A $54.5 million passenger transport assistance package for regional bus, ferry, aviation services and per- sonalised transport industry to ensure the sustainability of essential transport services during the COVID- 19 pandemic.

Maiy de JaJoim (J ABSTRACT This thesis is about primary schooling in tiie region of north Queensland between 1875 and 1905. Specifically, it examines teaching and learning as an intCTactive process between the participants in the educational enterprise and tiieir particular environments. Guiding the study are ethnogr^hic and narrative ^^proaches which take account of human agency, especially tiie capacity of the northem communities, including teachers, pupils and officials, to interconnect the diversity of their social and economic landscapes with the formal requirements of secular schooling. In the period from 1875 to 1905, primary schooling expanded in numerical terms but was provided unevenly across the colony at both the system and community levels. Disruption was part of the estabUshing process, but the location was as much with families, communities and teachers as with the newly-formed Department of Pubhc Instruction. Where schooling took place was important.

Whilst we know much about the aquatic ecosystems, particularly for specific areas (eg. Alligator Rivers Region, Ord River, Daly River), much knowledge still remains unknown and/or unquantified for most of the region. An increasing interest in agricultural and water resource development and expansion in Northern Australia has, however, drawn attention to the identification and need to ensure the maintenance of the ecological (and socio-cultural) assets and associated values of these river systems. Whilst efforts are underway to acquire new knowledge, it is also necessary to summarise existing knowledge.

  • Totley Township Queensland H
    Mining has had a profound and unique impact on the social and economic development of Australia. This was never more so than in north Queensland where the early industry created new wealth, changed whole landscapes and left fascinating examples of past mining technology lying forgotten in the small settlements, green rainforests and vast savannah plains of the region. Geographically, this guide takes the day-tripper on informative tours from the major north Queensland destinations of Cairns and Townsville, to the easily accessible hinterland gold mining towns of Ravenswood and Charters Towers and on to the tin and copper towns of Herberton, Irvinebank and Chillagoe. Travellers with more time can ‘go west’ from Townsville to the rich red country of the Selwyn Ranges and the historic copper mines of the Cloncurry and Mount Isa district. Others may follow the route from Cairns through the tin fields of the Atherton Tablelands to the Hodgkinson, Etheridge and Croydon goldfields, or take the Cape York trail through Mareeba or Cooktown to the fabulous Palmer River Goldfield. With information and pictures the guide tells a story extending from the 1870s gold rushes, through the tin and copper booms of the late 19th century to uranium mining in the 1950s. It features the technology of mines, stamp batteries, smelters and mining railways and encompasses a range of architectural styles from simple miners huts to grandiose public buildings. This diversity combines to make North Queensland’s Mining Heritage Trails an important contribution to the published record of Queensland’s heritage - a colourful and fascinating guide to your own journey along the MINING TREASURE TRAIL.
