Coober Pedy Regional Times FREE Tel: 08 86725 920 http://cooberpedyregionaltimes.wordpress.com Thursday 31 March - 13 April 2011 MAYOR TOLD “SIGN TARIFF AGREE- MENT AND $2M DEBT WILL BE PAID” It was with great disappointment and somewhat disbelief that I received a letter from Minister Michael O’Brien on 23rd March 2011, advising that the increased electricity tariffs implemented on 7th March 2011 will remain in place. When I met with the Minister on 17th March 2011, together with Council’s Finance and Administration Manager Damien Clark, and our Local Member, Hon Lyn Breuer, I believe we put forward a justifiable case for a review of the decision to increase tariffs so drastically and at such short notice. The Minister’s response of 23rd March stated that ‘unfortunately, given the difficult State Budget position, the tariff increases will have to be implemented to cover the increased costs of supplying electricity, including increased payments to independent operators such as Coober Pedy District Council. The increased costs are associated with the increase in the price of fuel and CPI. Does the Minister or treasury not factor this into their budgets like everyone else? The minister goes on to say ”As you are aware the government has provided significant resources for prior period reconciliation payments to the independent operators based upon the principles set out in the finalised agreements, with Coober Pedy Council expected to receive in excess of $2 million once the agreements are signed”. The Minister refers to a draft deed of agreement that we are being forced to sign that ties us into this ridiculous electricity subsidy scheme for the next 10 years. Mayor Steve Baines this week after hearing that Coober Pedy Council will only receive $2 million owed to us by the State Government for previous RAES subsidy payments IF the new Tariff The $2 million is money that Council has expended from Agreement is signed. its own cash reserves because of a shortfall in subsidy funding and has been trying to claw back for the past five The previous subsidy payment owed to us, is now 5 years in arrears and has resulted in Council years.DTEI have been blackmailing and bullying Council having to borrow equivalent funds for town operating costs. with this payment stating that we will not receive it until this agreement is signed, yet they agree that it is money owed to Council. When I met with Minister O’Brien on the 17th March he stated that he has given instructions to release $2 million owed to Council from prior reconciliation payments immediately, he is now using these funds to blackmail Council once again. The $2 million will be used to pay back a $1.5 million line of credit that Council was forced to take out because of this shortfall in subsidy funding. I am totally dismayed that it appears no consideration has been given to the plight of Coober Pedy businesses and residents, as well as those members of the other communities in the Remote Areas Energy Supply (RAES) Subsidy Scheme. However, you can rest assured that I will not sit idly by and let this situation remain so one-sided. Together with the other RAES communities, the Coober Pedy Retail Business and Tourism Association, our Local Member Lyn Breuer, members of the State Opposition, key social service providers and the numerous organisations and agencies, we will continue to fight the fight in the interests of all those impacted so severely by this merciless act. I ask that you all continue to lobby your local Members of Parliament and ensure that they continue to act in the best interests of their constituents..

  • Draft 30 July 2011 SIR SIDNEY KIDMAN
    Draft 30 July 2011 SIR SIDNEY KIDMAN: AUSTRALIA’S CATLE KING AS PIONEER OF ADAPTATION TO CLIMATIC UNCERTAINTY Leo Dobes1 Abstract There is little direct evidence about the business model used by the legendary cattle king, Sir Sidney Kidman. Kidman‟s properties were generally contiguous, forming chains that straddled stock routes and watercourses in the most arid zone of central Australia, were invariably stocked at less than full capacity; providing access to the main capital city markets via railways, as well as a wealth of information on competing cattle movements. This combination of features effectively afforded strategic flexibility in the form of so-called „real options‟, especially during severe drought events. Alternative explanations such as the vertical integration of Kidman‟s operations, and spatial diversification of land holdings, offer only partial insights at best. Faced with a highly variable and unpredictable climate, combined with erosion and the spread of rabbits, Kidman provides a highly pertinent example of successful human adaptation to exogenous shocks such as climate change by avoiding expensive deterministic responses. Key words: climate change, adaptation, real options, drought, rangelands Introduction Sir Sidney Kidman (1857-1935) was a controversial figure. Born in modest circumstances in Adelaide, he eventually came to control, both directly and indirectly, a vast pastoral empire that stretched north-south across the rangelands of central and northern Australia, with further holdings in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Feted in England as a fabulously wealthy Cattle King, he also attracted criticism in Australia for trying to recruit London omnibus drivers as stockmen. During World War I, he made a name for himself nationally by donating fighter planes and other equipment to the armed forces.

  • Staging Standpoint Dialogue in Tristate Education: Privileging Anangu Voices
    Staging standpoint dialogue in tristate education: privileging Anangu voices Samuel Osborne 2016 Doctor of Philosophy thesis Victoria University, Melbourne College of Education, Footscray Park Campus Abstract Aboriginal education in remote areas of Australia continues to be a contested focus for policy and practice, with little debate that actively involves Aboriginal people themselves. This thesis attempts to redress this gap in a small way by in-depth conversations about education with Anangu in the tristate area of central Australia (the region where Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory meet). Here Aboriginal people live in relatively small, dispersed desert communities with close language and familial connections. Contact with Europeans is relatively recent, with provision of schooling moving from centralised mission-based schooling to decentralised community schools following the 1967 referendum. Anangu children are frequently positioned as deficient in mainstream educational achievement narratives within colonial and neo- colonial educational endeavours. This study seeks to inform Anangu education policy and practice from Anangu standpoints and to explore the potential for standpoint dialogue in negotiating alternatives in tristate education (Harding, 1992). This thesis privileges Anangu standpoint accounts in relation to young people, education and the future. The series of interviews, held across several years and translated and presented with minimal editing, are predominantly held in local languages
