C. A. WHARTON (Burnett—Minister for Works and Housing) (11.1 a.m.), by leave: Yesterday in this House I answered a number of questions from the member for Chatsworth (Mr Mackenroth). Those questions dealt with the application of the new rental assessment scheme to various tenancies. In answering the questions, I misunderstood one question and therefore gave an incorrect answer. The answer I gave to another question may also have been misunderstood, so I take this opportunity to clarify the matter. Mr Mackenroth asked, in general, if the new scheme would be applied to people such as pubUc servants and employees of mining companies who are renting housing provided through the Housing Commission. The answer is that they will not be affected by the new scheme unless they are direct tenants of the Housing Commission, and the vast majority of them are not. The vast majority of those people are living in _ employer tenancy buildings, buildings provided under a separate and quite distinct scheme from that of welfare housing.

  • Swan River Belonging: Social and Emotional Interactions with an Urban River in the South West of Western Australia
    Swan River Belonging: social and emotional interactions with an urban river in the South West of Western Australia Marie Seeman Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Anthropology, University of Queensland This thesis is presented for the degree of Master of Arts at the University of Western Australia. School of Social and Cultural Studies Discipline of Anthropology and Sociology 2008 Marie Seeman 1 ABSTRACT In this thesis I explore concepts of belonging in relation to the Swan River of Perth, Western Australia. The primary focus of my research was on the various ways in which people expressed their social and emotional connections to a waterway often referred to as the 'soul of the city'. The people consulted derived from two main groups: a local inner city catchment group and a collection of artists. Drawing on literature such as Kay Milton's theories of emotion, culture and the environment to explain my ethnographic data, I show how and why people's interactions with the Swan River are motivated and enacted. This thesis demonstrates that human relationships with rivers such as the Swan are complicated by themes that include nostalgia, memory, aesthetics, space, proximity, ecological concerns and development issues. By drawing on a range of methods (participant observation, interviewing) and travel modes (walking, cycling), I found that current day practices were affected by historical decision making for both indigenous and non-indigenous groups. My research conveys the value of doing socio-cultural research on rivers in urban and in other contexts,
