Ms Rhonda Ewart, Development Assistant from the UTAS Development and Alumni Office, has lobbied for many years for the return of Domain House. She said her first physical introduction to the University was in the main library of the beautiful Gothic building. “I had a strong affinity for the institution right from the time I entered its open doors,” she said. “This ‘open door policy’ is what is reflected in the University’s motto, The Field Lies Open to Talent. Reclaiming our Domain House heritage will enable the University to again welcome the community. It reinforces our capacity as an educational institution to expand the opportunities for all Tasmanian, interstate and international students to gain a first-class tertiary education. “Domain House looks like a university and The return of feels like a university and I am delighted that once again we can proudly boast that UTAS is a sandstone university.” an old friend Bringing Domain House back to its former glory – and refurbishing and reconditioning the buildings so they can once again play an important part in the Sandstone status: Vice-Chancellor Professor Daryl Le Grew and Rhonda Ewart, long-time Domain House supporter, survey the interior of Domain House, which will be refurbished to serve the wider University and the Tasmanian community University community.

Things are about to change. In August this year, UTAS celebrated the announcement that its original home would be returned in an historic property transaction negotiated with the State Government. Vice-Chancellor Professor Daryl Le Grew applauded the move. He said that bringing Domain House back to its former glory will ensure the buildings can once again become an important part of the University and the Tasmanian community. “It is often quoted how important it is to understand the past to bring about a better understanding of the future,” Prof Sentimental home: Domain House, pictured c1890, was the original site of the University of Tasmania.

    The International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) is a non-profit organisation which represents an international network of people from all over the world committed to bringing books and children together. NEWSLETTER No 27 November, 2015 President’s Letter Dear members and supporters of IBBY Australia, 2016 will be our Golden Anniversary year—yes, fifty years since the foundation of IBBY Australia. And it is time to take stock. IBBY fulfils the unique role of showcasing Australia’s youth literature to the world. Our national section has faithfully maintained such core activities as celebrating International Children’s Book Day, selecting Honour Books, and nominating writers and illustrators for the Hans Christian Andersen Awards, the highest accolade in children’s literature. Australian members have participated in many international Congresses. IBBY began in Europe, but now is worldwide. We are increasing connections in our region, through regional Congresses and newsletters. We hope that Rhoda Myra Garces-Bacsal’s presentation, at our AGM in WA, is herald of more regional interaction. My personal hopes for the future of IBBY Australia include an increased commitment to the social justice aspects of its work, such as support for the vital IBBY Children in Crisis Fund. Another hope is to establish IBBY strongly in every state of Australia. There are hubs in WA and NSW, and supportive members throughout the country. Among those who bring their expertise to important IBBY tasks, the advisory panels for the 2016 Honour Book selections included Cathy Pusey (WA) and Cathie Tasker (NSW); and the panel which has begun reading entries for the 2016 Ena Noël Award includes Nella Pickup (Tas) and Bev Jacobson (WA).

  • THE HON. DAVID BARTLETT the MONA Effect
    THE HON. DAVID BARTLETT The MONA Effect: A Random Lightning Bolt of Weirdness or a Replicable Regional Renewal Plan? Friday, 1 March 2019 Edited transcript of keynote address at the Hunter Economic Breakfast Newcastle, Australia I want to give you some fast facts about Tasmania. Tasmania is the only place in the southern hemisphere that exports Fuji apples to Japan. You can buy them in Tokyo for $A250 each. It is the only place that exports tulips to Amsterdam and recently won the Amsterdam Tulip Prize. Ninety five per cent of the island’s energy is fully renewable. Until about five years ago, Tasmania provided about 85 per cent of all of Australia’s renewable energy. We have the cleanest air on the planet. At Cape Grim Weather Station they measure the particles of pollution per billion of air. It is the cleanest air on the planet. We produce, at Incat, 75 per cent of the world’s fast ferries. They come out of a factory in Hobart just down the river from MONA (the Museum of Old and New Art). Tasmania produces 100 per cent of the saffron grown in the southern hemisphere. There are more PhDs, per capita, living in Hobart than any other city in Australia. More people, per capita, put ‘artist’ on their tax return in Hobart than any other city in Australia. Four per cent of Australia’s rainfall falls on two per cent of its land mass; that is Tasmania. It is mostly on the west coast, with Hobart the driest capital in Australia.

  • Relationships to the Bush in Nan Chauncy's Early Novels for Children
    Relationships to the Bush in Nan Chauncy’s Early Novels for Children SUSAN SHERIDAN AND EMMA MAGUIRE Flinders University The 1950s marked an unprecedented development in Australian children’s literature, with the emergence of many new writers—mainly women, like Nan Chauncy, Joan Phipson, Patricia Wrightson, Eleanor Spence and Mavis Thorpe Clark, as well as Colin Thiele and Ivan Southall. Bush and rural settings were strong favourites in their novels, which often took the form of a generic mix of adventure story and the bildungsroman novel of individual development. The bush provided child characters with unique challenges, which would foster independence and strength of character. While some of these writers drew on the earlier pastoral tradition of the Billabong books,1 others characterised human relationships to the land in terms of nature conservation. In the early novels of Chauncy and Wrightson, the children’s relationship to the bush is one of attachment and respect for the environment and its plants and creatures. Indeed these novelists, in depicting human relationships to the land, employ something approaching the strong Indigenous sense of ‘country’: of belonging to, and responsibility for, a particular environment. Later, both Wrightson and Chauncy turned their attention to Aboriginal presence, and the meanings which Aboriginal culture—and the bloody history of colonial race relations— gives to the land. In their earliest novels, what is strikingly original is the way both writers use bush settings to raise questions about conservation of the natural environment, questions which were about to become highly political. In Australia, the nature conservation movement had begun in the late nineteenth century, and resulted in the establishment of the first national parks.

  • 19Th February, 2010 Bruce Taylor Tasmanian Electoral Commissioner
    19th February, 2010 Bruce Taylor Tasmanian Electoral Commissioner GPO Box 300 HOBART, Tasmania 7001 [email protected] Electoral Act 2004, Section 191 – Electoral matter on the Internet Dear Bruce, The enacting and subsequent promise to repeal a section of electoral law in South Australia this year has brought attention to the fact that Tasmania has a similar regulation regarding electoral matter on the Internet. As you are aware, section 191 of the Electoral Act 2004 requires that any electoral content be authorised with name and address information. We the undersigned request that this section of law not to be enforced in relation to this election and for a review to be undertaken by the new parliament at its earliest convenience. No public interest would be served by enforcement of this law. Whilst section 191 has been in force during a previous state election, new social networking tools such as Blogs, Facebook and Twitter to name a few have risen to prominence and are used on a daily basis by thousands in Tasmania including political parties. These technologies present new challenges to compliance and enforcement. The definition of electoral matter is so broad that any mention of the election could be construed to fall under this definition. If you are unable to assure the public that this section will not be enforced, we believe that the public will: - Refuse to post about the election on the Internet, stifling legitimate debate, - Follow the letter of the law and proceed to publish their name with electoral matter which opens them up to a range of privacy infringements including physical or employment threats as well as identity fraud, or - Simply disregard the law requiring them to put their name and address to any “electoral matter” online.
