Wallumetta June 2019
Wallumetta The Newsletter of Ryde-Hunters Hill Flora and Fauna Preservation Society Inc. JUNE 2019 - No. 275 PRESIDENT’S NOTE The future jobs are in the zero emissions global economy. The outcome of the recent Federal election may be seen as the result of the conflict between the environment and jobs. The Coalition gained 23 of the 30 seats in Queensland and it looks like they will have a total 77 seats in the new Parliament and the ALP 68 with six independents. The major issue in the seats won by the Coalition in Queensland is the level of unemployment and the Adani coal mining project held out the prospect of more jobs for Queensland. The Coalition expressed support for coal mining. However, Professor Ross Garnaut, in the last of six recent lectures on Climate Change discussed “Australia - The superpower of the zero emissions global economy” (www.rossgarnaut.com.au). Ross Garnaut is an economist whose career has been built around the analysis of and practice of policy connected to development, economics and international relations in Australia, Asia and the Pacific. This includes being principal economic adviser to the Prime Minister Bob Hawke, producing the Garnaut Climate Change Review in 2008 and appointment as independent expert to the Multy-Party Climate Change Committee in 2010. In his lecture Ross Garnaut discusses the decline of the coal industry and the opportunities arising for Australia in a global economy which is moving towards zero emissions. Garnaut sets out the industries where Australia, because of its natural and other characteristics will have a competitive advantage. -

Hornsby Integrated Land Use and Transport Strategy Final Report
Hornsby Shire Council Hornsby Integrated Land Use and Transport Strategy Final Report [DRAFT] November 2004 Hornsby Shire Council Hornsby Integrated Land Use and Transport Strategy [Final Draft] November 2004 PBAI Australia Pty Ltd Suite 6, 102 Alfred Street PO Box 705 Milsons Point NSW 2061 t – 02 9460 2444 f – 02 9460 2477 [email protected] Hornsby Integrated Land Use and Transport Strategy Executive Summary Hornsby Integrated Land Use and Transport Strategy Executive Summary Introduction Hornsby Shire Council is committed to developing an Integrated Land Use and Transport Strategy (ILUTS) that will provide a framework for action and promote viable and sustainable transport for the Shire. Council’s prime objective for the development of this strategy is to reduce car travel by promoting other modes of transport, particularly in view of the unsustainable historical increase in motor vehicle traffic associated with population growth. At a strategic level Hornsby Shire Council has already expressed its intent of creating a living environment. The development of the ILUTS will therefore build on a number of existing Council initiatives and policies including the Local Agenda 21 program, Hornsby Shire Housing Strategy and Council’s Sustainable Management System. The ILUTS is intended to: • Develop a series of action plans, consistent with the identified strategies, that will form a program of more detailed studies, investigations and projects; • Define a range of indicators to assist Council in monitoring the implementation and effectiveness -
Putting Place Back Into Urban Aboriginal History
Chapter 5 ‘The evidence of our own past has been torn asunder’: Putting place back into urban Aboriginal history Peter Read Department of History, University of Sydney Abstract: It is easy to demonstrate the lack of signage about the history of Aboriginal Sydney, but it is not all due to racism and apathy. Ignorance and forgetfulness are relevant too. Here I argue not for more signage, but, while continuing further research, to bring the information that we already have online into two- or three-dimensional forms. Introduction Dr Gordon Briscoe is an Indigenous historian, born in Central Australia. In 1942 he was removed, with his mother, from Central Australia, taken first to Balaklava near Adelaide and, at four years of age, placed in a church home in Mulgoa, western Sydney. In 2009, more than 60 years later, he revisited the site where 40 similar Northern Territory Aboriginal children had been institutionalised. Of the structures relating to the children who lived within the grounds, nothing remains in place: not a building, foundation or plaque. St Matthew’s Church remains and functions, but the rectory where the staff had their quarters has been demolished, the dormitory has been relocated and the grass where it once stood has been re-sown. Walking the grounds was a sad experience, but of all the painful memories, perhaps Gordon Briscoe’s sharpest reflection was the absence of any marker to the children’s existence. He reflected (Briscoe 2013): When we talk about what Aboriginal people are sorry for, it’s the way they treated us and our past.
