  • Badcoe) (15:24): 8 April 2020
    Hansard Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (15:24): 8 April 2020 I think it is pretty obvious that they do not want to just examine the closure: they want to actually close the school. This news came as a huge shock. It was very sudden information for the school community, and certainly the impacts of it are still sinking in. Those people who are part of the Friends ofSpringbank Secondary College, the Save Springbank campaign, the Mitcham council and indeed those on our side, are actively advocating for the Springbank Secondary College to remain open, for a shared school zone to be introduced giving parents choice about where they send their students and, also, for the $10 million—which was invested under the previous Labor government—to be delivered at that school. We have seen expressions of support from the member for Elder and from the Minister for Education for this school over the last two years, particularly praising the significant change in progress of this school two years into a five-year transformation plan. But, of course, those words ring pretty hollow right now when the plan is to shut the school entirely. -19- Hansard The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (17:41) 8 April 2020 When it has come to the issue of Springbank Secondary College there have been lies, damned lies and government statistics. This school was told of this review, not actually by press release as the Hon. Frank Pangallo noted, but by a press conference held at their school. They woke up to see on the front page of the newspaper that this review had been announced, having microphones shoved into the face of children at the school, creating great anxiety, creating great distress and citing some figures which have just been repeated here today about a lack of choice for those in the zone.

  • Street Trees in Eudunda
    Street Trees in Eudunda Identification and Recommendations for Management June 2006 Regional Council of Goyder CONTENTS INTRODUCTION Historical Perspective Current Use Design Objectives Design Principles Map Showing Survey Area 1. DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING TREES 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED TREES 3. ANALYSIS OF EXISTING STREETS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 4. SUMMARY Street Trees in Eudunda 2 Oxigen Landscape Architects June 2006 Introduction This report has been prepared to assist in the identification of street trees in Eudunda, their management and recommendations for replacement if appropriate. It provides suggestions for each street and a list of suitable species that can be trialled in addition to those currently found in the town. The report was prepared by Oxigen Pty Ltd, Landscape Architects for the Regional Council of Goyder. The plant descriptions and some images are taken from “Shrubs and Trees for Australian Gardens”, by E.E. Lord, “Encyclopaedia Botanica”, “Gardener’s Companion to Eucalypts”, by I. Holliday and G. Watton, “Eucalypts of South Australia” and the “Flemings Nurseries” website. The photographs of the existing street trees were taken in May 2006. HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Like other towns in S.A’s midnorth, Eudunda’s early settlers were quick to clear native vegetation in the district to provide timber for building and firewood. Cleared land also opened up pastures for grazing and arable land for agriculture. Once the layout of Eudunda and adjacent townships were established, gardens and street trees were planted to replace the tree cover, most often using species that were thought to offer a greater degree of amenity than the native trees they replaced.

  • Political Chronicles Commonwealth of Australia
    Australian Journal of Politics and History: Volume 53, Number 4, 2007, pp. 614-667. Political Chronicles Commonwealth of Australia January to June 2007 JOHN WANNA The Australian National University and Griffith University Shadow Dancing Towards the 2007 Election The election year began with Prime Minister John Howard facing the new Opposition leader, Kevin Rudd. Two developments were immediately apparent: as a younger fresher face Rudd played up his novelty value and quickly won public support; whereas Howard did not know how to handle his new “conservative” adversary. Rudd adopted the tactic of constantly calling himself the “alternative prime minister” while making national announcements and issuing invitations for summits as if he were running the government. He promised to reform federal-state relations, to work collaboratively with the states on matters such as health care, to invest in an “education revolution”, provide universal access to early childhood education, and to fast-track high-speed broadbanding at a cost of $4.7 billion. Rudd also began to stalk and shadow the prime minister around the country — a PM “Doppelgänger” — appearing in the same cities or at the same venues often on the same day (even going to the Sydney cricket test match together). Should his office receive word of the prime minister’s intended movements or scheduled policy announcements, Rudd would often appear at the location first or make upstaging announcements to take the wind from the PM’s sails. Politics was a tactical game like chess and Rudd wanted to be seen taking the initiative. He claimed he thought “it will be fun to play with his [John Howard’s] mind for a while” (Weekend Australian Magazine, 10-11 February 2007).
