  • Koala Protection Act Sent to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull
    23 May 2016 Australian Press Release: Koala Protection Act sent to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull Koala Foundation The Australian Koala Foundation (AKF) has written to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Opposition Leader Bill Shorten, Nationals Leader Barnaby Joyce and Greens Leader Richard A.C.N. 010 922 102 Di Natale today to request their support for a Koala Protection Act. The Koala Protection Act is a piece of national legislation that has been formulated by the AKF in consultation with legal teams in Australia and overseas focusing on protecting Koala habitat. Current legislation focuses on the Koala itself but not their habitat. A draft of the Act was enclosed, along with a Statutory Declaration for all leaders to sign prior to the election that states that they will seek to support the Koala via this legislation should they be re-elected. CEO of the AKF Deborah Tabart OAM said that the Act is based on the USA’s Bald Eagle Act that brought the Bald Eagle back from the brink of extinction. She said as Australia’s national icon, the Koala needs the same strength of purpose. “It is not our intention to offend the leaders by requesting they sign a Statutory Declaration, but rather a determination borne of frustration over the AKF’s 30-year experience,” said Ms Tabart. “Since 1988 when I was appointed as CEO of the AKF I have had conversations and correspondence with the who’s who of Australian politics; Environment Ministers at the Federal level and Premiers at the State level."[see notes below] Ms Tabart said the number of Environment Ministers in each State and the Mayors of the 320 Councils in Koala Habitat that she has also corresponded with is too high to remember.

  • 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.

  • Native Title and Indigenous Cultural Heritage Management
    Native title and Indigenous cultural heritage management BIBLIOGRAPHY Compiled by Robert Williams and Pamela F McGrath Native Title Research Unit October 2014 Preface This bibliography aims to provide readers with a comprehensive list of relevant legislation, research and commentary on Indigenous cultural heritage management in Australia since the implementation of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth). This resource has been produced as part of a three-year AIATSIS Native Title Research Unit project about cultural heritage protection in the era of native title. It addresses a need for bibliographic resources about current state and Commonwealth Indigenous cultural heritage management regimes and their interaction with native title rights and policy. It is intended as a guide to assist native title groups, practitioners, researchers, policy makers and others with locating and accessing information relevant to their own projects. The bibliography is arranged both by jurisdiction and theme and covers a number of significant issues relating to cultural heritage management for native title groups and other stakeholders: best practice, future acts and agreement making, governance, cumulative impacts, knowledge management, relevant case law and native title archaeology. The bibliography was primarily prepared through desktop research utilising government websites and publications, online databases, and various research institutions and university archives. Information was also sought via personal correspondence on an informal basis with key stake holders within the heritage sector. We especially wish to thank Carolyn Tan for allowing us to draw extensively on references to relevant case law cited in her PhD thesis. This bibliography is intended to be a living document that is added to and improved upon over time.

Congested roads, overcrowded emergency departments, or overflowing classrooms affect the daily lives of every family. A good government understands that targeted investments in infrastructure address these issues to make our lives better. The central policy challenge for NSW is improving our quality of life at a time of budget constraints, rising population and greater demands on services. Mike Baird is telling the people of NSW that he cannot address these challenges without privatising our publicly owned electricity network. But this is a risky and irresponsible plan that would leave us worse off in the long term, and guarantees we lose up to $1 billion every year in dividends that help fund the running of our schools and hospitals. Labor’s infrastructure plan does not rely on a risky sale of our electricity assets, and we will not transfer the profits generated by our electricity network to the private sector. Our plan will guarantee a long term funding source built on stable revenue measures that have been costed by the NSW Government appointed independent Parliamentary Budget Office.
