He pointed to the proposed industrial expansion at Hume, a planned crematorium and an increase in heavy vehicles on the Monaro High- way as a result of the proposed Can- berra Airport 24 hour freight hub. In regard to the crematorium, Mr. Johns- ton said residents in Fadden and Macar- thur are concerned about emissions from the proposed complex that will be close to their homes. He said the TCC sup- ported a new southern cemetery but has called on the ACT Government to inves- tigate less polluting technologies that achieve the same result.

  • Who's Afraid of Human Rights?
    Who’s Afraid of Human Rights? Jon Stanhope Introduction It is my great privilege to talk today about human rights, in our national parliament, and in conjunction with International Human Rights Day. In so doing I want to reinforce the critical importance a commitment to human rights has as the foundation of those core values that characterise our society. I will look at the experience of the operation of the ACT‘s Human Rights Act 2004. And I will suggest there are three paths for us to take to improve human rights of Australians: bold policy ideas, strong political leadership, and more active community engagement. When I talk about human rights, I mean equality and fairness for everyone. A society that commits to human rights, commits to ensuring that everyone is treated with dignity and respect. In Australia, the values that we regard as core to our national character—values such as freedom, respect, fairness, justice, democracy and equality—each stem from a commitment to human rights. They are the values we enshrine in our vernacular as ‗a fair go for all‘. I believe the protection of human rights is everyone‘s responsibility. A shared understanding and respect for human rights provides the foundation for peace, harmony, security and freedom in our community and, importantly, the right for the most vulnerable and marginalised members of our community to have their dignity respected and their basic needs fulfilled. I took, in my decade as chief minister, greatest satisfaction from the way my government implemented social justice, freedom from discrimination, human rights, equality of opportunity, and the rule of law.

    ISSN 0314-8211 CANBERRA Volume 11 Number 1 BIRD March 1986 NOTES Registered by Australia Post - publication No NBH 0255 HONEYEATER MOVEMENT PATTERN THROUGH THE CANBERRA REGION, AUTUMN 1985 C Davey The movement of honeyeaters through the Canberra region at certain times of the year has been well known for some time. An article in Canberra Bird Notes 'Honeyeater Migration Through the ACT' (CBN, Vol 9, Oct 1984) summarised published data, presented some ideas and described some data on movements of honeyeaters collected during the 1984 autumn migration. Also it was proposed that there be a detailed examination of the movement of honeyeaters through Canberra during the 1985 autumn migration. This article reports the results of that survey. Three ways to collect data were proposed: − to provide a data sheet on which to record daily the time and direction of the movement of flocks of honeyeaters; − to have teams recording the passage of birds over specific time periods at certain strategic locations on a few 'blitz' days; and - to establish a few watching points to monitor movements as often as possible. In early March 1985, 200 data sheets were issued with the newsletter 'Gang-Gang' and a single 'blitz' was held on Sunday 28 April. It was not possible to organise selected watching points. OVERALL SURVEY The period of the survey was from Saturday 16 March to Friday 24 May. In addition to the 20 sheets returned there were many spot observations that in themselves were of little value but were very useful in supplementing information from the main body of the survey.
