FOREWORD South Australia’s unique and precious natural resources are fundamental to the economic and social wellbeing of the state. It is critical that these resources are managed in a sustainable manner to safeguard them both for current users and for future generations. The Department of Water, Land and Biodiversity Conservation (DWLBC) strives to ensure that our natural resources are managed so that they are available for all users, including the environment. In order for us to best manage these natural resources, it is imperative that we have a sound knowledge of their condition and how they are likely to respond to management changes. DWLBC scientific and technical staff continue to improve this knowledge through undertaking investigations, technical reviews and resource modelling.

Institutionalisation of Aborigines, under the guise of assimilation and protection policies, was only abandoned in.the lg7Os. It is therefore important to understand the implications of these policies for Aborigines and Australian society in general. I investigate the affect of institutionalisation on Aborigines, questioning the assumption tl.at they were passive victims forced onto missions and government stations and kept there as virtual prisoners.

  • Read the SA Labor Party Response
    Mr Danny Simpson Executive Director RecFish SA [email protected] Dear Mr Simpson I refer to your letter to ALP candidates regarding RecFish SA’s priorities for the 2018 South Australian State Election, dated 23 November 2017. I thank RecFish SA for its submission ‘Making SA a great place to fish again’. Labor respects and supports RecFish SA as the peak body representing the interests of recreational fishers in SA and the critical role you play in representing and advocating on fishers’ behalf. The State Labor Government is committed to managing the State’s aquatic resources for the benefit of the whole community. Recreational fishing is a significant contributor to our economy, particularly in our regional communities, as well as being a much-loved pastime for around 277,000 South Australians. We recently announced a multi-million dollar structural reform package for the Marine Scalefish Fishery to protect the future sustainability of key fish stocks including King George Whiting, Garfish and Snapper. Key components of the plan include a $20 million voluntary buy-back scheme, targeting the removal of 100 commercial net and longline licences, in addition to the introduction of new zoning and quota management regulations. Further to this, the State Labor Government will undertake a comprehensive recreational fishing survey to improve estimates of recreational catch and effort across the state; and investigate more opportunities for stock enhancement programs – including in marine and metropolitan waterways. A re-elected State Labor Government will fund recreational fishing grants for projects to boost recreational fishing experiences and tourism, including new or upgraded facilities, improving access, restocking and habitat restoration.

  • The Memory of Deadly Battlefields And
    P The memory of deadly battlefields and desperate sieges is preserved in the title of some beautiful hamlet; while the scattered inhabitants of a secluded village rejoice in the borrowed plumes of some crowded European city. English and colonial statesmen are immortalised in hundred, river or agricultural area and royalty has not been forgotten… It is a matter for gratitude that… some of the euphonious and appropriate native names have survived the ordeal. (Advertiser, 12 August 1882, page 7c) Packard Bend - Situated on the River Murray, near Blanchetown. The 1864 date of the fatal drowning as stated by Rodney Cockburn in What’s In a Name would appear to be false because the Register of 29 September 1866 at page 4h says: ‘Francis Packard, a member of Mr Ebenezer MacGeorge’s survey party and formerly a member of the Northern Territory expedition [has] been drowned in the Murray… the body has not been recovered…’ Earlier, on 31 August 1866 it is said that the fatality occurred at ‘a station called Piapco … after swimming 150 yards he sank like a stone… The reminiscences of J.H. Packard, who arrived in the Asia in 1851,.are in the Observer, 1 January 1927 and an obituary on 17 August 1929: My personal experiences carry me back to 1868 when George Woodroffe Goyder was Surveyor-General of South Australia…The government of the day always consulted him in all matters connected with Crown lands, roads and proposed railways. He was never satisfied with the circuitous interstate railway… Being one of his surveyors he asked if I would care to undertake to survey an alternative line through the Torrens Gorge… [He concludes with a comprehensive summary of erroneous surveys made in connection with interstate boundaries - see under ‘South Australia’.] Paddington - An 1877 subdivision of part section 422, Hundred of Yatala, by James Williams and James W.
