The adequacy of existing and planned infrastructure is to be assessed and any barriers to competition and efficient investment identified. 1.2 Background Despite relatively high levels of domestic oil production in the past, imports of crude oil and refined petroleum products have always played an important role in supplying the Australian demand for liquid petroleum fuels. Imports of crude oil increased gradually over the past twenty years as production from Australia’s producing fields in the east declined, peaking at around 30,000 ML per annum in 1998-99. Australia’s imports of petroleum products were less than 5,000 ML per annum until 2002-03, when they increased to around 10,000 ML per annum following the mothballing of Mobil’s Port Stanvac Refinery. Imports were around 19,000 ML per annum by 2007-08 and are expected to continue to rise as demand for petroleum products grows. A number of policy issues have emerged concerning levels of competition in the Australian petroleum products market and the adequacy of infrastructure as imports of petroleum products increase. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) report Petrol Prices and Australian Consumers, released in December 2007, discussed the role of independent importers as competitors in the Australian petroleum products market. In its report the ACCC concluded that the four domestic refiner marketers were able to dominate the market (ACCC, 2007). The report noted that the most significant competitive threat to domestic refiner marketers would be large scale importing of petrol by a reseller or independent retailer. The ACCC recommended that: • a comprehensive audit of terminals suitable for importing refined petrol in Australia. The audit should cover current and future terminal capacity, current and future use of terminal capacity, as well as terminal leasing and sharing arrangements. Introduction 1 Petroleum import infrastructure in Australia • following the audit, there be on-going monitoring of the use, leasing and sharing of terminals suitable for importing refined petrol into Australia. In April 2008, the Government announced its support for the ACCC’s recommendations for a comprehensive audit of terminals and subsequently announced the Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism would manage the audit. The ACCC released a further report on petrol prices in December 2008 which, among other things, discussed the level of import competition in the Australian market (ACCC, 2008). In this report the ACCC noted The refiner–marketers accounted for about 93 per cent of the petrol imported into Australia in 2007-08. This high share is unsurprising because the refiner–marketers control most terminals that are capable of receiving imports. Of the 55 terminals around Australia that are capable of receiving imports, 46 of these are owned by the refiner–marketers while a further four are controlled by them through lease arrangements. Consequently, the constraint imposed by actual or potential import competition is reduced. 1.3 Methodology The audit was conducted through a questionnaire that was sent to the refiner- marketers and independent terminal operators.

  • Inquiry to Visit Darwin, Perth & Regional WA
    HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES MEDIA ALERT COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE Issued: 8 March 2001 INQUIRY INTO REGIONAL RADIO ATT: NT, Perth & WA Regional Media Inquiry to visit Darwin, Perth & regional WA Regional Radio under investigation 12 & 13 March The House of Representatives’ Communications Committee is investigating the adequacy of radio services in non-metropolitan Australia. It is looking at the quantity and quality of all radio services, including those provided by the ABC, commercial and community broadcasters. The Inquiry has already undertaken a comprehensive program of hearings and visits on the East Coast, and is now turning its attention to the Northern Territory and Western Australia. The Committee will be holding Public Hearings in Darwin, Geraldton, Perth and Walpole (near Albany) this Monday and Tuesday (12/13 March). The House Communications Committee Chair, Mr Paul Neville, says while the dominant issue of the Inquiry on the East Coast has been the perceived loss of local radio content because of centralised networking, the dominant issue in the Territory and the West appears to be quite different – the lack of any services at all. Mr Neville says the Inquiry has “touched a raw nerve” in regional Australia. “The response to this Inquiry has been enormous,” Mr Neville said. “The size of the response has confirmed just how hugely important radio is to people in non-metropolitan areas. “In the lead-up to the Territory and WA hearings we have received submissions about large radio reception ‘black spots’ where no services are received, and large areas which receive very limited services. We will be looking into these matters with a view to Government action.” Mr Neville says the Inquiry has examined how changes in the regulatory environment and developments in technology have led to substantial changes in radio services.

Sue Kirby1, Fabian P. Held2, Debra Jones3 and David Lyle4 1Senior Research Fellow, Broken Hill University Department of Rural Health, The University of Sydney, Broken Hill, NSW, Australia 2Charles Perkins Centre, Faculty of Science, School of Mathematics and Statistics, The University of Sydney, Broken Hill, NSW, Australia 3Director, Primary Health Care Stream, Broken Hill University Department of Rural Health, The University of Sydney, Broken Hill, NSW, Australia 4Head of Department, Broken Hill University Department of Rural Health, The University of Sydney, Broken Hill, NSW, Australia Aim: This study explored the partnership between universities and local primary schools to deliver a classroom-based paediatric communication impairment service provided by undergraduate speech pathology students. It aimed to understand how partnerships work to facilitate programme replication. Background: The partners included universities sending students on rural clinical placement, local host academic units and primary schools who worked together to provide paediatric speech and lan- guage services in primary schools in three sites in Australia. Rural and remote com- munities experience poorer health outcomes because of chronic workforce shortages, social disadvantage and high Aboriginality, poor access to services and underfunding. Methods: The study was in twofold: qualitative analysis of data from interviews/focus group with the partners in the university and education sectors, and quantitative social network analysis of data from an electronic survey of the partners. Findings: Factors supporting partnerships were long-term, work and social relationships, commitment to community, trust and an appetite for risk-taking.

  • Jack Learmonth Ochiltree (1870-1954) Was Born 25 April 1870 at Ballarat, Victoria, the Son of Thomas and Marion Ochiltree
    Jack Ochiltree (Battye, J.S., Cyclopedia of Western Australia , Vol.1, 1912, p.542; RAIA, c.1930s) Jack Learmonth Ochiltree (1870-1954) was born 25 April 1870 at Ballarat, Victoria, the son of Thomas and Marion Ochiltree. Jack completed his articles 1887-1891 under the impressive but short-lived Alfred Dunn (1865-1894), joint architect of the splendid be-domed Melbourne head office of the Commercial Bank of Australia in 1890. Fleeing depressed Victoria for Western Australia in 1894, Ochiltree served in the architectural branch of the Government Railways for three years. During the height of the Western Australian gold boom, he moved to the goldfields and worked at Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie-Boulder. In 1897 Jack was acting as clerk of works on the Maritana Street, Kalgoorlie branch of the Bank of Australasia, designed by architects Porter & Thomas. A volunteer corps officer, Ochiltree departed Kalgoorlie to serve with the Fifth Contingent at the Boer War, embarking at Fremantle in early 1901. While Jack was in South Africa, he received word that his brother William H. Ochiltree, employed by the Harbours and Rivers Branch of the Public Works Department had died prematurely in Perth, aged just 29. Upon Jack Ochiltree’s return to Western Australia in May 1902, he resumed practice in Perth. During 1903-1904 Jack was listed in Perth, working in a partnership with goldfields architects Geoffrey Oswald Hawkins and Hedley Vicars Sprigg, possibly former employers, as Hawkins Sprigg & Ochiltree. His office was located at the Cathedral Chambers, alongside St George’s Cathedral, where on 29 December 1903 Jack married Mary Rose Loton, daughter of prominent Perth businessman W.T.
