    ASIAN ACCOUNTS OF AUSTRALIA: CHANGE, COMPARISON, AND ANALYSIS A Joint project between the Australian National University and the National Library of Australia under the auspices of the Australian Research Council Strategic Partnerships with Industry Research and Training Scheme. TITLE: Post-1980 Japanese Monographs (58 titles in total). RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION BY: Manabu Kawakatsu DATE OF COMPLETION: 01/08/2001 ©**** 2 PREFACE: The National Library of Australia (NLA) has very large holdings of Asian material, in English, in Asian languages, and in Asian scripts. The ASIAN ACCOUNTS OF AUSTRALIA project received resources in 2000-2002 from the Australian Research Council and the NLA to examine this collection of ‘Australiana’ in Chinese and Japanese. A pilot project in 1999 had identified the most promising material as being in monographs and periodicals in both languages and, in the case of Chinese, in both traditional and simplified characters. In order further to narrow the amount of material to be examined to fit within the resources of the project, researchers were asked to concentrate on monographs and periodical articles dealing with Australia in the following categories: • Australia as a place of settlement • Australia as exotic • Australia as a model • Australia/Asia geopolitical commentary • Culture, both high and low • Economics, trade and industrial relations • Indigenous Australia • Politics • Tourism • One Nation and Pauline Hanson • An Australian republic • Sydney Olympic games The material covered was divided chronologically as follows: Chinese: Periodicals (simplified characters) 1995-2001 (traditional characters) 1986-2000 Monographs (simplified characters) 1973-1999 (traditional characters) 1947-2000 Japanese: Periodicals (general) 1987-2001 (Nichigo Press) 1995-2000 Monographs 1881-1979 Monographs 1980-2001 Researchers made brief synopses of material in these categories and periodicals, which are attached to their bibliographical details.

  • Push to Shut Clover Moore's City Of
    Push to shut Clover Moore’s City of Sydney shared cycleways: No risk assessment of city’s shared paths increases threat of law suit by: JIM O’ROURKE TRANSPORT REPORTER From: The Daily Telegraph November 08, 2014 12:00AM A cyclist narrowly misses an oblivious pedestrian on a section of shared cycle way between Darling Harbour and the CBD. Picture: Richard Dobson Source: News Corp Australia Cyclists and pedestrians compete for room while crossing the Pyrmont Bridge at Darling Harbour in heavy rain. Source: News Limited A PUSH has begun for Clover Moore’s City of Sydney shared cycleways — where pedestrians battle for space with bikes — to be closed down. Lawyers predict the council could be sued by a person injured in a collision between a bike and a walker because a proper risk assessment of the city’s 51km of shared paths is not in place. Pedestrian Council of Australia chairman Harold Scruby said a risk management plan for shared paths, prepared for council in 2009, defines a cyclist as a “rider of a bicycle or a human powered vehicle, with a maximum speed of 15km/h”. But Mr Scruby said a series of studies show that cyclists are averaging speeds of more than 20km/h on paths that were also used by pedestrians. He also pointed out that the national Austroads road safety guidelines state they should only be proclaimed if they are used by fewer than 10 cyclists per hour and the maximum speeds are under 20km/h. Legal advice obtained by the Pedestrian Council, from Slater & Gordon, states: “Local government road authorities may be found to be in breach of duty of care for failing to impose safe speed limits for cyclists on Shared Bicycle Paths”.

E-ISSN 1943-4308 www.cognizantcommunication.com MANAGING ALCOHOL AND DRUGS IN EVENT AND VENUE SETTINGS: THE AUSTRALIAN CASE ROB HARRIS,* DEBORAH EDWARDS,* AND PETER HOMEL† *Australian Centre for Event Management, UTS Business School, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia †Crime Reduction and Review Program, Australian Institute of Criminology, Sydney, Australia One of the major challenges of operating events and venues is that of managing attendee/patron alcohol and drug use. In the Australian context, a rising number of alcohol and drug-related incidents in and around these settings have resulted in a renewed focus on how these negative outcomes can be more effectively controlled. In order to aid those charged with the task of addressing this matter— event and venue managers, police, security firms, alcohol and drug regulatory bodies, and govern- ments at all levels—this article seeks to identify those variables with the potential to impact this management issue. Further, it aims to provide the previously identified stakeholders with a deeper appreciation of the raft of practices that are currently in use, and potentially available to them, as they build responses to this challenge at the individual state, precinct, venue, or event level. The research approach used involved an extensive literature review and a series of in-depth interviews with key stakeholders across three states—New South Wales, Victoria, and Western Australia. Key words: Drugs and alcohol; Events and venues; Regulation; Enforcement; Control practices Introduction has resulted from the rising number of incidents of individual harm, violence, and community disrup- Pressure from the broader community on key stake- tion that have occurred in and around these settings.

  • Business Voting in the City of Sydney
    COUNCIL 3 NOVEMBER 2014 ITEM 3.4. BUSINESS VOTING IN THE CITY OF SYDNEY FILE NO: S051491 MINUTE BY THE LORD MAYOR To Council: On 25 September 2014, the City of Sydney (Elections) Amendment Bill became law. This undemocratic Bill, negotiated by Liberal Councillor Edward Mandla and the Shooters and Fishers Party’s Robert Borsak, was put through Parliament without community consultation and based on a false premise - that businesses were being denied the right to vote in City of Sydney elections. Business owners have always had the right to vote in City of Sydney elections, and I support business owners having this right. I recognise the contribution business, particularly small and medium business, make in our city, providing important services, diversity and employment to our residents, workers and visitors. I also support the right of business people to decide for themselves whether they wish to enrol and vote, while making the process as easy as possible. The changes to the City of Sydney Act will take that right away. Business owners will be automatically enrolled without their consent. I believed that changes were needed to make it easier for businesses to enrol. Earlier this year, Council adopted my Mayoral Minute which set out changes that would improve the enrolment process. Alex Greenwich the Member for Sydney introduced a Bill into Parliament to implement these reforms while ensuring businesses retained the right to make their own decisions about enrolling and voting. Under Alex Greenwich’s Bill, businesses would be able to enrol at any time and their details would be checked and updated before each election.

    unesco creative cities membership monitoring report 2015-17 MEMBERSHIP MONITORING REPORT GENERAL INFORMATION. CONTRIBUTION TO THE NETWORK’S GLOBAL MANAGEMENT. MAJOR INITIATIVES IMPLEMENTED AT LOCAL LEVEL. MAJOR INITIATIVES IMPLEMENTED THROUGH INTER-CITY COOPERATION. PROPOSED ACTION PLAN. ANGELINA JOLIE AT THE SYDNEY PREMIER OF UNBROKEN CONTENTS. 2015-17 MEMBERSHIP MONITORING REPORT With support from the NSW Government, the City of Sydney, and key screen industry stakeholders, Sydney was awarded the UNESCO City of Film designation in December 2010. The existing screen infrastructure in Sydney and the diversity and value of film culture of Sydney was a major reason for the success of Sydney’s bid. It placed Sydney as the second City of Film in the UCCN. As the specialist agency in screen matters, management of the status of the City of Film was given to the former agency Screen NSW, with the agreement of the City of Sydney and the support of the NSW Government and former Minister for the Arts. The UNESCO Creative City designation is consistent with the aims of the NSW Creative Industries Action Plan, which seeks to ensure that NSW, through Sydney, is recognised as a global creative centre and leader in creative industries. Sydney and its surrounds continue to be the location for high levels of both international and local production and post-production, as well as many Australian TV dramas. NSW is the dominant state for screen production in Australia with more than 60% of Australian production and post-production businesses located in here. With a suite of funding opportunities for the professional production sector, from early development to production finance and a range of industry development programs, the organization supports the continued growth and development of a creative sector that returns significant economic benefits, large numbers of jobs and high cultural and social returns to the community.
