It emerged from a context publications; Australian where nationalist and internationalist sentiments were taking on foreign policy analysis; international relations new prominence and in a time of heightened public awareness of discipline global issues.

Index of Dates from Archaeological Sites in Queensland
INDEX OF DATES FROM ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES IN QUEENSLAND SEAN ULM AND JILL REID Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies Unit, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland, 4072, Australia This volume presents an indexed compilation of chronometric determinations obtained from archaeological sites in the state of Queensland (including Torres Strait), Australia, to the end of 2000. The list includes conventional radiocarbon (14C), accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), thermoluminescence (TL) and optically-stimulated luminescence (OSL) determinations. In total, 849 dates are listed from 258 sites. This listing is intended as a reference work only and no analysis of the dataset is undertaken in this volume. Introduction 250 In 1982, Michael Kelly compiled and published a list of radiocarbon and thermoluminescence dates 200 obtained from archaeological sites in Queensland entitled A Practical Reference Source to Radiocarbon 150 Dates Obtained from Archaeological Sites in Queensland. This monograph listed 164 radiocarbon 100 dates and two thermoluminescence dates from 69 Number of Dates Published 50 sites.

Australian Historians and Historiography in the Courtroom
AUSTRALIAN HISTORIANS AND HISTORIOGRAPHY IN THE COURTROOM T ANYA JOSEV* This article examines the fascinating, yet often controversial, use of historians’ work and research in the courtroom. In recent times, there has been what might be described as a healthy scepticism from some Australian lawyers and historians as to the respective efficacy and value of their counterparts’ disciplinary practices in fact-finding. This article examines some of the similarities and differences in those disciplinary practices in the context of the courts’ engagement with both historians (as expert witnesses) and historiography (as works capable of citation in support of historical facts). The article begins by examining, on a statistical basis, the recent judicial treatment of historians as expert witnesses in the federal courts. It then moves to an examination of the High Court’s treatment of general works of Australian history in aid of the Court making observations about the past. The article argues that the judicial citation of historical works has taken on heightened significance in the post-Mabo and ‘history wars’ eras. It concludes that lasting changes to public and political discourse in Australia in the last 30 years — namely, the effect of the political stratagems that form the ‘culture wars’ — have arguably led to the citation of generalist Australian historiography being stymied in the apex court.

KOEHN Cooperative Research Centre for Freshwater Ecology, Arthur Rylah Institute for Environmental Research, Heidelberg, Australia SUMMARY 1. The invasion of carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) in Australia illustrates how quickly an introduced fish species can spread and dominate fish communities. This species has become the most abundant large freshwater fish in south-east Australia, now distributed over more than 1 million km2. 2. Carp exhibit most of the traits predicted for a successful invasive fish species. In addition, degradation of aquatic environments in south-east Australia has given them a relative advantage over native species. 3. Derivation of relative measures of 13 species-specific attributes allowed a quantitative comparison between carp and abundant native fish species across five major Australian drainage divisions. In four of six geographical regions analysed, carp differed clearly from native species in their behaviour, resource use and population dynamics. 4. Climate matching was used to predict future range expansion of carp in Australia. -

ANTS from THREE REMOTE OCEANIC ISLANDS by ROBERT W. TAYLOR and EDWARD O. WILSON Museum, Wellington, New Zealand, for Making Thes
ANTS FROM THREE REMOTE OCEANIC ISLANDS By ROBERT W. TAYLOR and EDWARD O. WILSON Biological Laboratories, Harvard University The three islands (Raoul, Clipperton, St. Helena) whose ant faunas are. described below have in common only extreme geographic isolation. That ants occur on them at all confirms the idea that these insects, with man's, help, have now populated every part of the earth capable of supporting them. These and other remote oceanic islands will undoubtedly attract more of the ecologist's attention in the future, since many animal taxa inhabiting them, including most or all of the ant species, have only arrived within historical times and present simple case histories of faunas in the first stages of local adaptation. We are grateful to Dr. J. S. Edwards, Dr. C. F. Harbinson, Mr. Arthur Loveridge and Dr. B. A. Holloway of the Dominion Museum, Wellington, New Zealand, for making these unusual collections available. The study has been supported in part by a research grant from the National Science Foundation. RAOUL ISLAND, KERMADEC ISLANDS The Kermadecs are a group of forest-clad volcanic islands lying in the South Pacitc between S. lat., 29.IO and 31.3o; and W. long., 77.45 and 79.00. The nearest sizable land mass is the North Island of New Zealand, about 650 miles to the southwest, and the nearest major Polynesian island is Tongatabu of the Tongan group, aboiat 700 miles to the north. Australia lies about 1,7oo miles to the west. The ants listed below were taken on Raoul or Sunday Island, the largest of the group (I.25 sq. -

The Role of the Governor-General
Chapter Eight The Role of the Governor-General Sir David Smith, KCVO, AO My brief is to speak about the role of the Governor-General, as we know that office today. I shall speak about the history of the office, about the duties of the office, and about current proposals to alter the Australian Constitution by changing its provisions relating to the office. Foremost among the reasons given for constitutional change is the claim that the republic will give us an Australian Head of State. This claim is as mischievous as it is dishonest. Its success is dependent on the notorious ignorance of the vast majority of Australians about their Constitution. 1 The truth is that Australia has two Heads of State. The Queen is our symbolic Head of State, the Governor-General is our constitutional Head of State, and we have had Australians in the office of Governor-General since Lord Casey's appointment in 1965. The claim that the Governor-General is our constitutional Head of State is not some bizarre theory dreamed up for the purposes of the current debate, for it has been so since the beginning of federation, and there is much supporting evidence, both anecdotal and legal. A Canadian Governor-General, Lord Dufferin, described a Governor-General as a constitutional Head of State in a speech given in 1873. 2 Even Paul Keating referred to the Governor-General as our Head of State in the very speech in which he announced in Parliament on 7 June, 1995 his Government's proposals for the republic. -

THE HISTORY WARS CONTINUED? Professor Stuart Macintyre Dean, Faculty of Arts, University of Melbourne
3y ! -ANU-TOYOTA PUB LI C LECTURE SERIES THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY THIRD ANNUAL LECTURE presented by THE ANU ARCHIVES PROGRAM R FRIENDS OF THE NOEL BUTLIN ARCHIVES CENTRE THE HISTORY WARS CONTINUED? Professor Stuart Macintyre Dean, Faculty of Arts, University of Melbourne Wednesday 3 November 2004, 6pm Coombs Lecture Theatre, Building 9, Fellows Road, ANU This lecture is free and open to the public. Enquiries: 6125 2219 THE LECTURE A war is raging in historical circles. Divisions about how to interpret Australian history and the pol iticisation of the topic -seen in the vilification of Manning Clark as a 'Soviet spy', the Windschuttle/Reynolds dispute on Aboriginal history, and controversy over the National Museum - have split the profession. But the struggle seen in the 'History Wars' involves not only ideology and politics, but also how historians practise their profession. The use of evidence discovered and uncovered in the archives is at the heart of some of the key controversies in the History Wars. Research and interpretation are both essential to the historian's work and defending them to the public at large has become part of the historian's role in today's Australia. In this lecture, Professor Macintyre will draw on his experience of the History Wars and reflect on their implications for the present and future of historical scholarship in Australia. THE LECTURER Professor Stuart Macintyre has been Ernest Scott Professor of History at the University of Melbourne since 1990 and Dean of the Faculty of Arts since 1999 and has published widely on British and Australian history.
