PRESIDENT REPORT: Dr Turner spoke briefly to his reports that had been published in the AVHS Record No. 54. 1 HONORARY SECRETARY & TREASURER REPORT Dr Auty spoke briefly of the difficulties arising from centralising all financial activities in Sydney. He is in discussion concerning some double debiting of PAC capitation costs. Funds remaining amount to $3600 and wiIl take another four years to run down. Annual Subscription should remain at $30 for 2010. REPORTS OF THE HONORARY EDITOR AND THE HONORARY LIBRARIAN: Reports were tabled and will be published in the next Edition of the Record. ELECTION: There were no nominations for Offices of the Society or resignations of Officers of the Society. All Office Bearers were declared re- elected. GENERAL BUSINESS: Dr Jackson reported on the Historical Collection housed in 20 boxes at St Leonards. It is proposed to make a photographic record of the Collection. Dr Turner indicated his attendance in Sydney would enable a viewing of the Collection. During discussion on the need for ensuring relevant obituaries to appear in the AVJ and the Editor having difficulty in obtaining them, Dr Faragher offered to carry out the task of organizing obituaries on behalf of the Editor. Dr Lawrie reported on problems associated with the election of the President that arise from the changes made to the Constitution in 2008. The Board will be addressing the need for further changes to the Constitution. The President indicated that 2011 was the 250th Anniversary of the establishment of the first Veterinary School at Lyons and perhaps this could provide the opportunity to develop and publish a general history of the profession in Australia. It was agreed that this initiative would be pursued by the AVHS out-of-session; the President AVHS to follow up.

The contribution of Ian Parsonson as Honorary Editor of the AVH Record for many years must be acknowledged. The assistance and support of Andrew Turner during the transition of editors was instrumental in maintaining the production schedule. 4 There are papers for upcoming numbers but the support of all presenters in Darwin in providing copies of their papers so the aspects of the history of the profession reported is recorded in the AVH Record. Delays have been experienced in posting of Australian Veterinary History Record on the Sydney eScholarship Repository of the University of Sydney Library, but this has been corrected and is again up to date. With another Pan Pacific conference planned for 2010, papers relating to the profession in New Zealand and Pacific countries as well as Australia are invited. Neil E Tweddle Honorary Editor, AVHR. HONORARY LIBRARIAN, MAX HENRY MEMORIAL LIBRARY The open shelves which housed the old rare books in the collection have been replaced by shelves with lockable glass doors. The new shelves were purchased from IKEA for $512. The space available at the library is rapidly filling and it is now necessary to modify the criteria for acquisitions. The library now only has space for books written by Australian veterinarians about veterinary or related topics or books of historical significance. It is desirable that books written by veterinarians are signed by them if possible. Two examples of suitable books donated to the library are The Australian Horse Book by David de Fredrick and Veteran and Veterinarian by Jim Whittem. Both are written by Australian veterinarians, were reviewed in the AVJ, and contain accounts of the author’s experience in the veterinary profession. Although David de Fredrick’s book is principally a comprehensive exposition of horse management and diseases, it is based on his lifetime experience in equine practice. In Whittem’s book the experience is in teaching, research and scientific administration within the veterinary profession as well as his WW2 service. These books will provide a snapshot of veterinary life in the second half of the 20th century, covering a wide spectrum, in years to come. Tom Hart MHML Hon Librarian 5 AVH SIG Committee Meeting, 4 September 2009 The AVH SIG Committee met in the Gilruth and Max Henry Memorial Libraries, University of Melbourne Veterinary School on 4 September to consider several initiatives that had arisen at and since the AGM. Ms Tammie Goates, Gilruth and Max Henry Librarian, provided for perusal recent additions to the Max Henry Memorial Library and memorabilia from Margaret Keats recently donated to the Library by her family. History of the Australian Veterinary Profession Project: At the Darwin AGM, the President Mark Lawrie suggested it might be timely to have a history of the veterinary profession in Australia, with the 250th anniversary of the establishment of the first veterinary school at Lyon, France in 2011. The Committee agreed a definitive history of the veterinary profession should be written, but doubted an adequate manuscript could be completed by 2011. A short history of the profession, written in 1983 for the World Veterinary Congress in Perth by Dr John Auty, could be updated to 2010. It was agreed that a history written by an established/eminent historian or at least overseeing the writing was preferable than a multi-author approach. Material would be sourced from the AVHS and other people. Indicative costs to produce a comprehensive history may be in the order of $100,000 per year for 3 years plus additional costs associated with getting photographic material ready for the publication. It was agreed that the purpose of writing the history of the profession was to promote the profession to the public and the profession as vital, active and forward thinking. There is public interest in the profession and this interest needs to be fostered in having an inviting public presentation. The AVHS Committee recommends to the AVA Board of Directors that: 1. If desirable for the international promotion of the Australian veterinary profession associated with the Lyon Veterinary School celebrations, a small edition of a veterinary history could be produced by extending the history that was written in 1983 to the present time.

  • Estimates 16 June 2009
    ESTIMATES COMMITTEE PROCEEDINGS - 16 JUNE 2009 The Estimates Committee of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly convened at 8.30 am. Mr CHAIRMAN: Good morning, everyone. As Chair of the Estimates Committee 2009, I formally declare open this public hearing of the Estimates Committee of the Legislative Assembly of the Northern Territory on Tuesday, 16 June 2009. I extend a welcome to everyone present. This is the eighth year of the Estimates Committee, process and procedures adopted throughout the sittings have become accepted practice. There are a number of areas regarding the conduct of the public hearings I intend to place on record. I table a copy of the resolution of the Legislative Assembly dated 10 June 2009, which refers to the Schedule of the Appropriation Bill 2009-10 and related budget papers to this committee. The role of the committee is to now examine the report on the estimates proposed expenditure contained in that bill. As in previous years, membership of the Estimates Committee is the same as the Public Accounts Committee. However, the terms of reference allow for other members of the Assembly to participate in the public hearings, provided the composition to the committee never exceeds seven members. The membership shall always consist of three government members, three opposition members and one Independent member. The Assembly has recently passed a motion providing for alternate membership of the Public Accounts Committee, which now sits as a resolution of the Assembly. This does not impact on the composition of the current Estimates Committee. It will only come into effect if, during these public hearings, there is a requirement for the core membership of the Public Accounts Committee to adjourn for a deliberative session.

  • The Post–World War Two Period to 1978
    5 The post–World War Two period to 1978 As a result of the bombing of Australia’s north by the Imperial Japanese Navy, a new political motivation to develop and populate the region replaced the three decades of neglect that had been the hallmark of the Commonwealth’s early administration of the Northern Territory. With most of Darwin’s pre-war population of 2,000 evacuated to the south, military government was introduced for the duration of the war. The civil administration of the portion of the Territory not under martial law was conducted from Alice Springs until the end of the war. In the final years of World War Two, the Commonwealth took renewed measures to build a sustainable economy and increase the European population of the north with the establishment of an Interdepartmental Committee on the Development of Darwin and the Northern Territory in 1944 and the creation of the North Australia Development Committee in 1945 (National Archives of Australia 2014a). The advancement of Northern Australia has re-emerged as a major public agenda item with the election of the Coalition Government in 2013. This serves to demonstrate the longevity of some ideas, particularly the desire to develop the north being rediscovered by a new generation of politicians. With the return to civilian control and governance still provided by the Administrator—who was responsible for the implementation of ministerial decisions made in Canberra—the final three decades of Commonwealth management of Territory affairs demonstrate a glacially paced evolution of constitutional development leading to the local exercise of state-type functions as described in the Australian Constitution.
