  • LABOR NEWSNEWS Octoberoctober 2008 2012 PREMIER’S MESSAGE an Abbott Federal Government Would Be a Disaster for Tasmania
    LABORLABOR NEWSNEWS OctoberOctober 2008 2012 PREMIER’S MESSAGE An Abbott Federal Government would be a disaster for Tasmania. It’s difficult to overstate the damage that the federal Opposition leader’s policies would do to the Tasmanian economy and government services if he is ever elected Prime Minister. The single biggest threat is the Liberal Party’s stance on the distribution of GST revenue. Mainland Liberal Premiers are united in pushing for a per capita distribution of GST revenue, which would strip up to $700 million per annum from Tasmania’s budget. That’s the equivalent of $5000 for every Tasmanian household. Mr Abbott has consistently expressed sympathy and support for his Liberal colleague’s campaign. His claims that such an approach would not disadvantage Tasmania are laughable. Liberal Premiers are pursuing a change in the way GST revenue is distributed because they PREMIER LARA GIDDINGS want to get their hands on more of it. With a finite amount of cash available, giving more to WA, Victoria, Queensland and NSW must mean there’s less available for the smaller States. The impact on public services in Tasmania of a further massive reduction in GST revenue would be devastating. But the potential damage to Tasmania of an Abbott government does not end there. Mr Abbott’s pledge to repeal the price on carbon would strip a further $70 million per annum from Tasmania, as we benefit financially from our strong advantage in renewable energy. He has also pledged to abandon the NBN, which would cost Tasmania 800 jobs in the roll-out phase and jeopardise our place in the new digital economy.

    The Valley & East Coast Voice Volume 42 No 9 Est.1968 Thursday, October 8, 2009 50 cents Exciting Post Office news We have just been advised by Australia Post that St Marys has been chosen as the Post Office to postmark all 2009 Christmas phila- telic issues throughout Australia. According, every 2009 Christmas Stamp First Day Cover sold in Australia and around the world will have a postmark from the St Marys Post Office. I gather that a special postmark stamp will be made for us and the people from Australia Post tell me that this is indeed a great honour for our Post Office. Australia Christmas philatelic issues are prized all around the world and it is quite humbling to know that they will all bear a St Marys postmark. Details are still a little sketchy and no doubt we will learn more about this matter in coming weeks, but as soon as we hear about ordering procedures for the 2009 Christmas stamp issues, we will put a notice in the Valley Voice, because we imagine many St Marys residents will be keen to purchase First Day Covers. Harry & Kerry Veldums, Pictured right: Harry & Kerry Veldums. St Marys Licensed Post Office. The impact of rubbish! On the 23rd of September, nine eager Outdoor Ed students along with Mr. Lynch took up the challenge of collecting rubbish around the school and township. After collecting 5 garbage bags and 2 normal shopping bags of rubbish in around an hour, our results were staggering! Plastic topped the results from the school and in the street area.

  • Twentieth Annual Report 2008
    A HOUSE OF REVIEW BACKGROUND The Legislative Council of Tasmania was established in 1825 as a unicameral legislature following the separation of Van Diemen's Land from New South Wales. On 3 December of that year, Governor Darling of New South Wales proclaimed Van Diemen's Land as a separate colony, and simultaneously the first Legislative Council was created consisting of six nominee Members and the Lieut.-Governor, Colonel George Arthur. The continuing prosperity and population growth of the colony were reflected by the increase in membership of the Council. In 1828, as a result of an Imperial Act, the Council was increased to 15 nominee Members (6 official and 8 unofficial) with the Governor as Presiding Officer. In 1851, the Legislative Council Membership was further increased to a total of 24 Members. 16 Members were elected by restricted franchise and 8 Members were nominated by the Governor, who ceased to be a Member. From 1850 until 1856 the Presiding Officer in the Council was known as the Speaker. The Members elected Sir Richard Dry as the first incumbent of that position. In 1856 the title of the Presiding Officer changed from that of Speaker to President. During the 1840s the British Colonial Office argued that the penal transportation system should continue. The colonists argued against any further influx of convicts and believed that their interests would be better served by a form of representative government for the colony. Although the Governor temporarily resolved this crisis, agitation for a more representative style of government grew stronger. The efforts of the colonists were rewarded with the proclamation of an act to permit the introduction of a bicameral, representative Parliament on 24 October 1856.

  • The Age of Consent: News, Crime and Public Debate
    The Age of Consent: News, crime and public debate Claire Konkes, BA Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Journalism, Media and Communications) University of Tasmania October 2014 Abstract In 2009 in Hobart, Australia, a 12-year-old ward of the state was advertised in a metropolitan newspaper as an 18-year-old prostitute. The decision to only prosecute one of the 100-plus men estimated to have paid for sex with the child was a scandal that made national headlines. Sustained coverage over the next two years was notable for its representation of community outrage, which included allegations of a cover up involving the highest levels of government and the judiciary. This thesis is both an examination of the news coverage of the controversy and an attempt to theoretically understand the relationship between contemporary journalistic practice, representations of crime and mediatised controversy. Using a methodology that draws on content and frame analysis of news and other texts, and interviews with journalists and their sources, this study seeks to identify the point at which socially useful news coverage of complex legal matters tips into panic (McNair 2006). This investigation examines how Tasmanian media framed the coverage of this matter; how journalist-source relationship informed the coverage; and what journalistic practices and communications strategies contributed to the sense of confusion and distrust that informed the controversy. Its key findings demonstrate the extent to which ideas of news values are both fluid and an important factor in how journalists and their sources identify opportunities for newsmaking, that news coverage and news framing is significantly dependent on the sponsorship of sources, and that these relationships, combined with the communications strategies of government, the judiciary and other actors, contributed to the apparent politicisation and outrage.

  • Political Chronicles Commonwealth of Australia
    Australian Journal of Politics and History: Volume 53, Number 2, 2007, pp. 281-336. Political Chronicles Commonwealth of Australia July to December 2006 JOHN WANNA Australian National University and Griffith University Howard’s Divisive Style Comes to the Fore: Never Recant, Never Stand-down, Gradually Give Ground Questioned in late 2006 over the wisdom of invading Iraq, Prime Minister John Howard insisted he did not agree with those who went about “recanting everything they supported when they were in positions of authority”. He argued that […] in public life you take a position, and I think particularly of the decisions I have taken in the time I have been prime minister. I have to live with the consequences of those both now and into the future. And if I ever develop reservations, I hope I would have the grace to keep them to myself, because I think you take a position and you have got to live by that and be judged by it (Australian, 22 November 2006). His message was simple: if he had any personal reservations about invading Iraq he was not about to admit it or to say sorry. By late 2006, the Iraq occupation increasingly overshadowed the internal politics of both the US and the UK, but in Australia the quagmire of Iraq was a far less potent political factor. As one of the original “coalition of the willing”, Howard was implicated in the decision but had far less at stake than the other leaders and no list of casualties to inflict political pain. Moreover, the Labor opposition had not managed to turn the unpopular war into a political positive for itself.
