    Highways AND Byways THE ORIGIN OF TOWNSVILLE STREET NAMES Compiled by John Mathew Townsville Library Service 1995 Revised edition 2008 Acknowledgements Australian War Memorial John Oxley Library Queensland Archives Lands Department James Cook University Library Family History Library Townsville City Council, Planning and Development Services Front Cover Photograph Queensland 1897. Flinders Street Townsville Local History Collection, Citilibraries Townsville Copyright Townsville Library Service 2008 ISBN 0 9578987 54 Page 2 Introduction How many visitors to our City have seen a street sign bearing their family name and wondered who the street was named after? How many students have come to the Library seeking the origin of their street or suburb name? We at the Townsville Library Service were not always able to find the answers and so the idea for Highways and Byways was born. Mr. John Mathew, local historian, retired Town Planner and long time Library supporter, was pressed into service to carry out the research. Since 1988 he has been steadily following leads, discarding red herrings and confirming how our streets got their names. Some remain a mystery and we would love to hear from anyone who has information to share. Where did your street get its name? Originally streets were named by the Council to honour a public figure. As the City grew, street names were and are proposed by developers, checked for duplication and approved by Department of Planning and Development Services. Many suburbs have a theme. For example the City and North Ward areas celebrate famous explorers. The streets of Hyde Park and part of Gulliver are named after London streets and English cities and counties.

    1 Family Violence in Aboriginal Australian Communities: Causes

    1 Family Violence in Aboriginal Australian Communities: Causes and Potential Solutions Political Science Thesis April 25th 2014 Eden Littrell ‘14 I would like to express my gratitude to Carolyn Whyte, Director of Criminal Research and the Statistics Unit in the Northern Territory, and Kevin Schnepel, Lecturer at the University of Sydney, for a couple very informative email conversations. I would also like to thank Professor William Joseph for his advice and my father, Charles Littrell, for proof reading and emotional support. Last, but not least, thank you to my thesis advisor, Professor Lois Wasserspring, for her advice, support and constant feedback throughout this past year. 2 Prologue This thesis is an investigation into why family violence in Aboriginal Australian communities is so severe, and an examination of ways in which this violence might be decreased. I engage with the two competing narratives around violence in Aboriginal communities. The political left typically tells a story about the legacy of violent colonization, and the consequent need to improve Aboriginal legal rights. On the political right the narrative is less well defined, but the argument typically focuses on the importance of personal responsibility, or on the role of traditional culture in creating violence. I argue that competition between these narratives is harmful for actually reducing family violence, and that we should pursue evidence-based policy, such as alcohol restrictions, in addition to trialing and evaluating new policies. In Chapter 1, I briefly outline the higher rates of family violence in Indigenous communities. I also summarize the history of Aboriginal Australians and the contemporary argument around Aboriginal Australians and violence.

    Indigenous Languages in Parliamentary Debate, Legislation and Statutory Interpretation

    1006 UNSW Law Journal Volume 43(3) LEGISLATING IN LANGUAGE: INDIGENOUS LANGUAGES IN PARLIAMENTARY DEBATE, LEGISLATION AND STATUTORY INTERPRETATION JULIAN R MURPHY* There are signs that Australia is beginning a long-overdue process of incorporating Indigenous languages into its parliamentary debates and legislation. These are significant developments in Australian public law which, to date, have attracted insufficient scholarly attention. This article begins the process of teasing out the doctrinal implications of this phenomenon. The article is in four Parts, the first two of which describe and normatively defend the trend towards Indigenous language lawmaking in Australia. The third Part looks abroad to how other countries facilitate multilingual parliamentary debate and legislation. Finally, the article examines the interpretative questions that multilingual legislation poses for Australian courts. Potential answers to these questions are identified within existing Australian and comparative jurisprudence. However, the ultimate aim of this article is not to make prescriptions but to stimulate further discussion about multilingual legislation, which discussion ought to foreground Indigenous voices.

  • West Kimberley Place Report

    West Kimberley Place Report

    WEST KIMBERLEY PLACE REPORT DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY ONE PLACE, MANY STORIES Located in the far northwest of Australia’s tropical north, the west Kimberley is one place with many stories. National Heritage listing of the west Kimberley recognises the natural, historic and Indigenous stories of the region that are of outstanding heritage value to the nation. These and other fascinating stories about the west Kimberley are woven together in the following description of the region and its history, including a remarkable account of Aboriginal occupation and custodianship over the course of more than 40,000 years. Over that time Kimberley Aboriginal people have faced many challenges and changes, and their story is one of resistance, adaptation and survival, particularly in the past 150 years since European settlement of the region. The listing also recognizes the important history of non-Indigenous exploration and settlement of the Kimberley. Many non-Indigenous people have forged their own close ties to the region and have learned to live in and understand this extraordinary place. The stories of these newer arrivals and the region's distinctive pastoral and pearling heritage are integral to both the history and present character of the Kimberley. The west Kimberley is a remarkable part of Australia. Along with its people, and ancient and surviving Indigenous cultural traditions, it has a glorious coastline, spectacular gorges and waterfalls, pristine rivers and vine thickets, and is home to varied and unique plants and animals. The listing recognises these outstanding ecological, geological and aesthetic features as also having significance to the Australian people. In bringing together the Indigenous, historic, aesthetic, and natural values in a complementary manner, the National Heritage listing of the Kimberley represents an exciting prospect for all Australians to work together and realize the demonstrated potential of the region to further our understanding of Australia’s cultural history.

    Der Herausgeber AUSTRALIENS AUSWÄRTIGE KULTURPOLITIK

    1 Der Herausgeber Nummer 15, die erste Nummer in meiner Verantwortung, wurde erfreulicherweise so aufgenommen, dass ich mit dem neuen Format fortfahre. Das Schwerpunktthema Multikulturalismus hat trotz einiger Lücken, die die Leser unschwer feststellen werden, eine breite Palette an Beiträgen stimuliert, wobei es erfreulich ist, dass das Thema Aborigines breiten Raum einnimmt. Die Bereiche Rezension und Dokumentation haben sich bewährt und erweitert, so dass die Leser mehr Information finden werden. Hinsichtlich der Recherchehilfen im Internet werden AusLit und andere erwähnt. Hier sollten sich vor allem jüngere Mitglieder aufgerufen fühlen, auch wenn bei der Altersgruppe, zu der der Herausgeber gehört, die höchsten Zuwachsraten in der Internetnutzung festgestellt wurden. Noch etwas problematisch ist die formale Seite des Newsletter, und das style sheet sei den Beiträgern besonders empfohlen. Wie erwähnt, werden die Leser einige Lücken beim Thema Multikulturalismus konstatieren. Das Thema ist abgesunken, der in Forschung, Lehre und populärer Literatur weit verbreitete Begriff ist ins "Aus" geraten, was auch die 2. Auflage der Enzyklopädie The Australian people (hsg. von J. Jupp, 2002) beweist. Doch ist es schon signifikant, wenn der australische Premierminister John Howard anlässlich einer Ansprache in Berlin am 2. Juni 2002 dieses Wort nicht ein einziges Mal in den Mund nahm, ja auch das Wort Kultur vermied und keinen Hinweis auf Aborigines machte. Hätte sein Vorgänger auch darauf verzichtet, auf Multikulturalität als Folge kultureller oder demographischer Gegebenheiten hinzuweisen? Als er 1995 Berlin besuchte, tat er es jedenfalls nicht. Für Howard waren Wirtschaft, Finanzpolitk, ethical capitalism, wie er ihn nannte, Schlüsselworte, die in einem Forum der Deutschen Bank sicher interessant waren, aber nicht das letzte Wort sein können.
