    CSIRO PUBLISHING www.publish.csiro.au/journals/ajar Australian Journal of Agricultural Research, 2003, 54, 599–611 Effect of climate variability on event frequency of sorghum ergot in Australia Enli WangA,C, Malcolm RyleyB, and Holger MeinkeA AAPSRU, DPI/CSIRO/NRM/UQ, PO Box 102, Toowoomba, Qld 4350, Australia. BQueensland Department of Primary Industries, PO Box 102, Toowoomba, Qld 4350, Australia. CCorresponding author; present address: CSIRO Land and Water, GPO Box 1666, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia; email: [email protected] Abstract. The significant effect of ergot, caused by Claviceps africana, on the Australian sorghum industry, has led to considerable research on the identification of resistant genotypes and on the climatic conditions that are conducive to ergot outbreaks. Here we show that the potential number of monthly ergot events differs strongly from year to year in accordance with ENSO (El Niño–Southern Oscillation) related climate variability. The analysis is based on long-term weather records from 50 locations throughout the sorghum-growing areas of Australia and predicts the potential number of monthly ergot events based on phases of the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI). For a given location, we found a significant difference in the number of potential ergot events based on SOI phases in the preceding month, with a consistently positive SOI phase providing the greatest risk for the occurrence of ergot for most months and locations. This analysis provides a relative risk assessment for ergot outbreaks based on location and prevailing climatic conditions, thereby assisting in responsive decision-making to reduce the negative effect of sorghum ergot.

  • New Air Conditioning Design Temperatures for Queensland
    New air-conditioning design temperatures for Queensland, Australia by Eric Peterson¹, Nev Williams¹, Dale Gilbert¹, Klaus Bremhorst² ¹Thermal Comfort Initiative of Queensland Department of Public Works, Brisbane ²Professor of Mechanical Engineering, the University of Queensland, St Lucia Abstract : This paper presents results of a detailed analysis of meteorological data to determine air conditioning design temperatures dry bulb and wet bulb for hundreds of locations throughout Queensland, using the tenth-highest daily maximum observed per year. This is a modification of the AIRAH 1997 method that uses only 3PM records of temperature. In this paper we ask the reader to consider Australian Bureau of Meteorology official “climate summaries” as a benchmark upon which to compare various previously published comfort design temperatures, as well as the new design temperatures proposed in the present paper. We see some possible signals from climate change, but firstly we should apply all available historical data to establish outdoor design temperatures that will ensure that cooling plant are correctly sized in the near future. In a case- studies of Brisbane, we find that inner city temperatures are rising, that airport temperatures are not, and that suburban variability is substantially important.

Chapter 5 Defeat and Depression, 1929-1933 '...this great organisation has contributed in greater measure to the sum total of human happiness in this State than has any other single influence '. C G Fallon, Presidential Address, Seventeenth Annual Delegates Meeting of the Australian Workers Union (Queensland Branch) 1930. The crushing defeat of the Labor Party at the 1929 State election had a cathartic affect upon the labour movement in Queensland. Although a sobering rebuke by the electorate the defeat was not altogether unexpected. The McCormack Government had become isolated from the electorate and more significantly the movement that had sustained it. From the time of the 1927 Railway Strike, McCormack and his acolytes within the PLP had emerged as irresponsive and unaccountable to the wishes of the movement. Amongst those which had lost faith in the political leadership was the powerful AWU. Although never advocating a vote against Labor the AWU's criticism of 183 the Government and the conspicuously reduced support it provided during the election campaign provided an unambiguous indication of its displeasure.
