  • Miller, Jessica
    Jessica Miller, M NRM 19 March 2018 Independent Scientific Panel Inquiry Locked Bag 33 Cloisters Square PERTH WA 6850 Submission to the WA Fracking Inquiry To whom it may concern, I am writing in response to the Independent Scientific Panel’s call for public submissions as part of the Inquiry into Hydraulic Fracture Stimulation in Western Australia 2017 (Fracking Inquiry). My expertise is in natural resource management, cultural resource management, ecology, and strategic environmental impact assessment and regulation (including working in the Australian Government on coal seam gas mining monitoring and audit). I am currently undertaking a Master of Philosophy research degree with The University of Queensland, focusing on the ecological impacts of forest roads for coal seam gas development on bird communities. As part of this research I am also reviewing the extent to which enigmatic impacts (e.g. cryptic, cumulative and indirect and secondary impacts) are accounted for in the Environmental Impact Statements of Australian coal seam gas developments. In addition, I currently work as an ecologist and environmental-cultural management expert for Environs Kimberley, based in Broome WA. Below I address a number of points within the Fracking Inquiry Terms of Reference, namely: the potential ecological impacts of fracking in WA; impacts on human health and wellbeing; and the extent to which such industries can be adequately regulated by governments. These points are made based on my own expertise as well as peer reviewed literature and government reports. As I do not have the resources to undertake a thorough literature review of all matters discussed here, I have included a range of resources I think should also be considered as part of my submission, and represent an introduction to the matters raised.

  • A Thesis Submitted by Dale Wayne Kerwin for the Award of Doctor of Philosophy 2020
    SOUTHWARD MOVEMENT OF WATER – THE WATER WAYS A thesis submitted by Dale Wayne Kerwin For the award of Doctor of Philosophy 2020 Abstract This thesis explores the acculturation of the Australian landscape by the First Nations people of Australia who named it, mapped it and used tangible and intangible material property in designing their laws and lore to manage the environment. This is taught through song, dance, stories, and paintings. Through the tangible and intangible knowledge there is acknowledgement of the First Nations people’s knowledge of the water flows and rivers from Carpentaria to Goolwa in South Australia as a cultural continuum and passed onto younger generations by Elders. This knowledge is remembered as storyways, songlines and trade routes along the waterways; these are mapped as a narrative through illustrations on scarred trees, the body, engravings on rocks, or earth geographical markers such as hills and physical features, and other natural features of flora and fauna in the First Nations cultural memory. The thesis also engages in a dialogical discourse about the paradigm of 'ecological arrogance' in Australian law for water and environmental management policies, whereby Aqua Nullius, Environmental Nullius and Economic Nullius is written into Australian laws. It further outlines how the anthropocentric value of nature as a resource and the accompanying humanistic technology provide what modern humans believe is the tool for managing ecosystems. In response, today there is a coming together of the First Nations people and the new Australians in a shared histories perspective, to highlight and ensure the protection of natural values to land and waterways which this thesis also explores.
