The Whereas the People Report (1994), which emanated from the Prime Minister’s Civics Experts Panel, made a series of recommendations that helped stimulate the drive for civic education. A comprehensive package of resources labelled under the rubric of ‘Discovering Democracy’ was published and distributed to schools throughout Australia. Understandably, though, the valuable ‘Discovering Democracy’ materials did not focus on the State tier of government. However, there were calls for this vacuum to be filled. The Royal Commission into the Commercial Affairs and Other Matters (1992) specifically called on Parliament to play a role in education programs. The Western Australian Report of the Constitutional Committee (1995) then canvassed a range of strategies to enhance civic and political education, including a recommendation ‘that the State Government support the establishment of a Constitutional Centre, incorporating a museum and with community education functions, ideally to be situated near Parliament House’. Later the Commission on Government (COG) (1996) made a recommendation that the government should make a much greater effort to ‘promote and fund civics education’. In response to these recommendations the government ratified the building of the Western Australian Constitutional Centre of Western Australia, which was opened in October 1997. Meanwhile, in 1998, Western Australia adopted a new curriculum framework which incorporated an Active Citizenship strand in the Society and Environment Outcomes. Active Citizenship encompassed democratic processes, social justice and economic sustainability. Agencies in Western Australia such as Parliament, the Western Australian Electoral Commission, the Francis Burt Law Centres, as well as the Constitutional Centre, have continued to make their contributions to civic and citizenship education. In 2005 a National project was undertaken which focused on the development of Statements of Learning in the domains of Civics and Citizenship and other subjects. The Statements of Learning describe the essential skills, knowledge, understandings and capacities that all young Australians should have the opportunity to learn by the end of Years 3, 5,7 and 9. National Testing of Civics and Citizenship began in 2004. It has been continued with periodic reports being published. Other developments have included documentation of ‘values’ in the Western Australian Curriculum and then formulation in 2012 and 2013 of an Australian Civics and Citizenship (Year 3 to Year 10) curriculum. However, this curriculum has not yet been endorsed (2014). A National Curriculum for Civics and Citizenship was formulated in 2014, following a set of guidelines contained in the 2013 Shape Paper. However, in November 2013 the Ministerial Council for Education, Early Childhood Development and Youth Affairs (MCEECDYA) did not endorse the National Curriculum for Civics and Citizenship but chose to require the curriculum, as with other national curriculums, to a revision process. Each chapter of Second Reading contains informational material and a number of exercises relevant to the interests of upper primary and lower secondary students. The Challenge exercises provide more difficult material as useful background for teachers; that may also be used for the more capable students. The Terms section highlights some of the key political terms used in each chapter. A separate chapter lists the additional materials on Western Australian Government which are currently available. The flexible A4 format of the resource has been adopted to allow teachers to photocopy those pages and exercises which they consider useful. For this edition a set of answers has been prepared for each exercise included in the resource. An index has also been prepared for the assistance of educators. An alphabetical tabulation of the terms defined in the resource has also been included in the final chapter. (i) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS For the first edition of Second Reading: Parliamentary Democracy in Western Australia (1991), a range of organisations and individuals were recognised for their contributions to the production of the resource. The project was supported financially by the Public Endowment Trust Fund, the Parliament of Western Australia and the Commonwealth Parliament Education Office. In addition, the Ministry of Education (now Department of Education) provided consultative assistance and editorial, design, illustration, typesetting and printing management services through West Ed Media. The electoral maps were reproduced by courtesy of the Western Australian Electoral Commission and originally appeared in the Government Gazette of 29 April 1988. Photographs were generously supplied by the Parliament of Western Australia. Electoral maps have not been included in the revised edition although some other Western Australian Electoral Commission information has been retained or modified. However, as much of the material from the first edition has been retained in the revised edition, acknowledgment of the aforementioned organisations is again recorded. For the first edition the following persons were thanked for their various contributions to the publication of Second Reading. Dr Geoff Gallop, in his capacity as then Minister for Education; Mr Peter McHugh (Clerk of the Legislative Assembly); Mr John Mandy (Clerk Assistant and Sergeant-at-Arms of the Legislative Assembly); Mr Rod Wahl (Clerk Assistant of the Legislative Council); Dr Richard Gilbert and Ms Mirrillee Chignell (Commonwealth Parliament Education Office); Mr Les Smith (Electoral Commissioner for Western Australia); Professor David Black; Mrs Pat Roach and Mrs Catherine Leech (Legislative Assembly Annexe); Ms Kathy Cook and Mr Glen Bennett (Consultants, Curriculum Studies Branch, Ministry of Education); Mrs Jan Phillips (Penrhos College); Mr Rod Lewis (Senior Graphic Designer) and Mr Cam Rielly (Senior Consultant), Curriculum Services Branch, Ministry of Education. Again these persons are recognised for their contributions. For the revised internet edition valuable additional support and advice has been offered by Jane Gray, the Education Officer of the Parliament of Western Australia. Helen Lünsmann, from the Legislative Assembly Committee Office, has also been integrally involved in the preparation of the resource. A sincere vote of appreciation is recorded to both Jane and Helen. Through their respective efforts it has been possible to present an updated version of Second Reading for educators in Western Australia. Special appreciation for the second revised internet edition (2009) is again directed to the Parliamentary Education Office led by Jane Gray, assisted by Deputy James Sollis and Education Officers Cherie Toovey and Michael Loney. Alice Murphy also contributed to the revision. Particular appreciation is afforded to Erin Grace for formatting the text in such a proficient manner. For the third revised internet edition (2014), appreciation is again directed to the Head of the Parliamentary Education Office James Sollis and to the Deputy Education Officer, Rohan Davis. Thanks, too, are offered to Cherie Toovey and Michael Loney. Most generous thanks is also recorded to Sarah Smith for her outstanding contribution for formatting the text.

  • The Biology and Ecology of Samson Fish Seriola Hippos
    The biology of Samson Fish Seriola hippos with emphasis on the sportfishery in Western Australia. By Andrew Jay Rowland This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Murdoch University 2009 DECLARATION I declare that the information contained in this thesis is the result of my own research unless otherwise cited. ……………………………………………………. Andrew Jay Rowland 2 Abstract This thesis had two overriding aims. The first was to describe the biology of Samson Fish Seriola hippos and therefore extend the knowledge and understanding of the genus Seriola. The second was to uses these data to develop strategies to better manage the fishery and, if appropriate, develop catch-and-release protocols for the S. hippos sportfishery. Trends exhibited by marginal increment analysis in the opaque zones of sectioned S. hippos otoliths, together with an otolith of a recaptured calcein injected fish, demonstrated that these opaque zones represent annual features. Thus, as with some other members of the genus, the number of opaque zones in sectioned otoliths of S. hippos are appropriate for determining age and growth parameters of this species. Seriola hippos displayed similar growth trajectories to other members of the genus. Early growth in S. hippos is rapid with this species reaching minimum legal length for retention (MML) of 600mm TL within the second year of life. After the first 5 years of life growth rates of each sex differ, with females growing faster and reaching a larger size at age than males. Thus, by 10, 15 and 20 years of age, the predicted fork lengths (and weights) for females were 1088 (17 kg), 1221 (24 kg) and 1311 mm (30 kg), respectively, compared with 1035 (15 kg), 1124 (19 kg) and 1167 mm (21 kg), respectively for males.

Its habit of spending its life burrowing and digging in the sandy soils of our coastal areas has been responsible for the name "sandgropers" to describe West Australians. However, in the Gingin, Dandaragin, Badgingarra and other coastal areas, sandgropers have damaged crops of barley, sweet lupins and wheat in the last few years, in some cases causing Adult sandgroper.

  • 17 October 1989
    3121 iternetatnwp TIunrt Tuesday, 17 October 1989 THE PRESIDENT (Hon Clive Griffiths) took the Chair at 3.30 pm, and read prayers. MOTION - G OVERNOR OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA Retirement - Appreciation HON GEOR(;E CASH (North Metropolitan - Leader of the Opposition) [3.33 pm] - by leave: i move, without notice - That following the retirement on 30 September 1989 of the Governor of Western Australia, Professor Gordon Reid, this House conveys its appreciation to Professor Gordon Reid and Mrs Ruth Reid for the outstanding service they have extended to the people of Western Australia during their term in viceregal office and for the gracious manner in which they have worked to protect and enhance the dignity and respect that the position of Governor should hold under our Westminster system of Parliament. I thank the House for granting me leave on this occasion. The reason I have moved this motion today is that it is the first day the Parliament has returned after a two week recess since the retirement of Professor Gordon Reid as Governor of Western Australia. Members will be aware that Professor Reid was appointed Governor of Western Australia in 1984 and retired on 30 September 1989. It is true that he has retired as a result of ill health, something that we have raised in this House before and about which I have spoken to wish him well in his recovery from his present illness. Professor Reid was a special person in the role of Governor of Western Australia. If we look at Governors this State has had in recent times, in general terms they were people who had been born overseas.

    Western Australian Museum Annual Report 2004-2005 Jandamarra Crossing Artists: Alwin Reamillo and Roselin Eaton Photograph by Norman Bailey © Western Australian Museum, 2005 Coordinated by Ann Ousey and Nick Mayman Edited by Roger Bourke Designed by Charmaine Cave Layout by Gregory Jackson Published by the Western Australian Museum Locked Bag 49, Welshpool DC, Western Australia 6986 49 Kew Street, Welshpool, Western Australia 6106 www.museum.wa.gov.au ISSN 0083-87212204-6127 Cover: Jandamarra Crossing Artists: Alwin Reamillo, Filipino Australian, and Roselin Eaton, Walmajarri, 2003 Mixed media installation, including bamboo, beer cans, rubber tyre tubing, flicker-flame resin cast heart with electric component, motorised propeller with electrical component, motion sensor and organic material including emu feet, kangaroo leg, bush turkey feathers. Miniature landscape comprises plastic/rubber animals, miniature helicopters and termite mounds. This five-metre hybrid helicopter reflects the story of Jandamarra or Pigeon, a young Bunuba hero who led the resistance against the invasion and pastoral occupation of Aboriginal lands in the Kimberley in the 1890s. Jandamarra was an exceptional marksman and his improvised manufacture of ammunition using found materials, as well as his ability to evade capture by the authorities earned him a reputation that has become legend. He was said to be able to fly like a bird and disappear like a ghost. The helicopter is also a visual reference to the importance of aerial mustering as part of the pastoral industry in which so many Bunaba people continue to be involved. Initially proposed as an experiment in collaborative art-making with mature age students at Karrayili Adult Education Centre, the project was developed by accomplished Filipino Australian artist and teacher Alwin Reamillo, with Roselin Eaton, an Walmajarri artist, student and arts worker.
