Norfolk Island’s shores, explore the world, and earn a regular salary. Like many young men around the world they felt this was an opportunity for an adventure. Norfolk Island, per capita, contributed more volunteers to WWI and WWII than any other Commonwealth country of the world. This was an incredible sacrifice made by the families of Norfolk Island. During WWII many Norfolk Islanders fought throughout the Pacific against the Imperial Japanese Forces. While 8 Norfolk Islanders died in action, or as prisoners of war while fighting against the Japanese in Asia, there were no lives lost in the Pacific. Norfolk Island lost a total of 27 servicemen and we must never forget that they sacrificed their lives so that we can enjoy our freedom. We Nawa Gwen Forget Dem Sydney 1941.

An access track from the road to Ball Bay was widened and a track made along the waterfront at the beach. A ramp was created by concreting over boulders. This was used with skid logs to haul equipment ashore (later it was widened, and a jetty was added). On 20 September, the MV Roseville arrived from America with 4,100 tons of equipment to discharge. The matting was not able to be unloaded and the ship proceeded to Sydney. Unloading alternated between Kingston, Cascade and Ball Bay.

    Submission No. 31 Norfolk Island Economy Date: 03/06/14 ACN 169 144 129 15 May 2014 Joint Standing Committee on the National Capital and External Territories Economic Development on Norfolk Island. Reply to questions on Notice from Ms Brodtmann Ms BRODTMANN: I have a number of questions. The first is to your background. I understand that you managed the airline contract or have been involved in the airline contract in the past. Except for the current contact between the Commonwealth and Air New Zealand, there has not been an airline contact in the past. However, if you are referring to the Norfolk Island Governments failed airline, Norfolk Air which cost the community and the Commonwealth $33 million dollars, I had no involvement. I believe the airline you are referring to was Norfolk Jet Express. Norfolk Jet Express was started by me at a time when no other air carrier was willing to fly to Norfolk Island. There was no contract, no subsidy, and no support from the Norfolk Island Government and no support from the Commonwealth. The background and history to Norfolk Jet Express is as follows. In 1996, Ansett Airlines announced that it was going to withdraw from services to Norfolk Island. This withdrawal would be effective by the end of June 1997, regardless of whether another carrier was found to replace it. By early 1997, the Norfolk Island Government had not found any carrier willing to fly to Norfolk Island, this included both Qantas and Air New Zealand. In early 1997 and with no other carriers interested in flying to Norfolk Island, I announced the creation of Norfolk Jet Express and that I would provide an air service to the Island.

  • Putting Down Roots Belonging and the Politics of Settlement on Norfolk Island
    Putting Down Roots Belonging and the Politics of Settlement on Norfolk Island Mitchell Kenneth Low B.A. (Hons) University of Western Australia, 2004 This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The University of Western Australia School of Social Sciences (Anthropology and Sociology) 2012 Abstract In this thesis I theorise emergent nativeness and the political significance of resettlement among the descendants of the mutineers of the Bounty in the Australian external territory of Norfolk Island (South Pacific). Norfolk Islanders are a group of Anglo-Polynesian descendants who trace their ancestry to unions between the mutineers of the HMAV Bounty and Tahitian women. Norfolk Islanders’ ancestors were resettled from their home of Pitcairn Island to the decommissioned, vacant, penal settlement of Norfolk Island in 1856. Since this date, members of the Norfolk community have remained at odds with state officials from Britain and Australia over the exact nature of their occupancy of Norfolk Island. This fundamental contestation over the Island’s past is the basis of ongoing struggles over recognition, Island autonomy and territoriality, and belonging. Using a combination of qualitative research conducted on Norfolk Island and extensive historical and archival research, I present an ethnography of belonging among a highly emplaced island population. One of the central problems in conceptualising Norfolk Islanders’ assertions of belonging is that Norfolk Islanders not only claim Norfolk as a homeland, but members of this community have at times declared themselves the indigenous people of the Island. With respect to recent anthropological theorisations of indigeneity as relationally and historically constituted, I consider the extent to which concepts such as ‘native’ and ‘indigenous’ may be applicable to descendants of historical migrants.

  • Norfolk Island and the Pitcairn- Descendant Population
    'Indigenous' sense of place and community in a small island: Norfolk Island and the Pitcairn- descendant population Michael Ritzau Bachelor of Arts A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts (Honours) School of Geography and Environmental Studies University of Tasmania 9 January 2006 THE UNIVERSITY OF TASMANIA LIBRARY 71 ooo Statement of Authenticity This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any tertiary institution and to the best of my knowledge and belief the thesis contains no copy or paraphrase of material previously published or written by other persons except where due reference is made in the text of the thesis. Michael Ritzau University of Tasmania 11 Abstract This qualitative research project has highlighted a number of issues about islandness relating to identity, place, and belonging. The research examined how certain Pitcaim-descendants mobilise a claim that they are the indigenous population of Norfolk Island. The claim is mobilised from three main positions: they are the first (or is that last?) whole people to settle Norfolk island as a permanent, inter-generational 'homeland'; they have a surviving culture, based on that developed on Pitcaim by their forebears, a culture that continues and evolves; and they maintain their own language. The claim of indigeneity being made manifests in two main sub- communities of Pitcaim-descendant Norfolk Islanders; those making explicit political statements of an 'indigenous identity'; and those making claims implicit in a lived and performed lifestyle - an 'indigenous cultural life'. Both are people 'at home' and engaged with their environment.

  • Cultural and Socioeconomic Determinants of Energy
    Natural Resources Forum 38 (2014) 27–46 DOI: 10.1111/1477-8947.12030 Cultural and socio-economic determinants of energy consumption on small remote islands Manfred Lenzen, Murukesan Krishnapillai, Deveraux Talagi, Jodie Quintal, Denise Quintal, Ron Grant, Simpson Abraham, Cindy Ehmes and Joy Murray Abstract In this cross-country analysis of four small and remote islands, we integrate multiple dimensions of socio-economic demographic data, such as population, land area, remoteness, tourist arrivals and earnings, export earnings, financial support, average incomes, fuel and electricity prices, penetration of renewable energy sources, and motor vehicle usage; we compare these characteristics with per capita use of energy carriers such as electricity, petrol and diesel. From these characteristics, we identify key determinants of energy consumption in the islands. Whereas we focus on energy, our analysis also applies to emissions of carbon and energy-related pollutants. Our results indicate that cultural and social contexts are at least as relevant for policymaking as economic and technological aspects. We suggest that in small island developing States there is scope for policymaking to at the same time: reduce economic vulnerability due to dependence on imported fossil fuels; reduce environmental impact; and progress sustainable development. Such progress can be implemented through peer-to-peer learning programmes facilitated by targeted international cooperation and partnerships.
