By the mid 1950s a new purpose-built town had been constructed in the Australian desert, named “Woomera”, with a population of 7,000 at its peak. No expense was spared in establishing the testing grounds, laboratories and infrastructure – which included a security cleared film laboratory and production facilities at Salisbury near Adelaide – to support the Anglo-Australian Joint Project’s research and experimentation.

  • Legislative Council
    Legislative Council Tuesday, 16 June 2009 THE PRESIDENT (Hon Barry House) took the chair at 3.30 pm, and read prayers. ENERGY CONSUMPTION — ADVANCED METER TRIAL Statement by Minister for Energy HON PETER COLLIER (North Metropolitan — Minister for Energy) [3.32 pm]: I am pleased to inform the house that on Sunday I launched a trial for advanced meters, which aims to highlight how householders can change their energy consumption behaviour and ultimately reduce the amount they spend on electricity. This is a 12-month trial conducted by Synergy and will involve approximately 500 households throughout a range of Perth suburbs that will be invited to take part. Customers will receive an in-home display device that provides detailed information about their electricity use and costs at any given moment well before the arrival of their next bill. Also, they will have access to a secure interactive website that is updated daily with actual consumption information, giving customers the opportunity to set and track consumption goals while also allowing them to understand consumption patterns of households of similar size and demographics. In addition, they will receive SMS and email notifications if they are heading off track with electricity consumption. The meters will provide peak and off-peak pricing to encourage customers to change their consumption habits and divert electricity use to cheaper, off-peak times, while also educating them about the costs of running appliances. This is an exciting initiative and is the first time such a comprehensive trial has been conducted in Australia by an energy retailer to encourage behavioural change.

    BRITISH MIGRANTS IN POST-WAR SOUTH AUSTRALIA: EXPECTATIONS AND LIVED EXPERIENCES Justin Anthony Madden Department of History, School of Humanities, Faculty of Arts December 2015 A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy Table of Contents Abstract 1 Thesis Declaration 3 Acknowledgements 4 List of Abbreviations 5 Introduction 6 Methodology 10 Chapter One: Background to Twentieth Century Australian Immigration and Literature Review 18 Chapter Two: Encouraging Migration Through Publicity: The Australian Campaign to Attract British Migrants 39 Chapter Three: Post-war British Environments and their Effect on Expectations 69 Chapter Four: Reception Country Environments 87 Conclusion 117 Bibliography 123 Abstract The expectations and experiences of British migrants in South Australia between 1945 and 1982 were highly varied and in some ways have been misunderstood both by scholars and the general public. This thesis uses previously unexamined archival sources as well as new interviews conducted with British migrants to analyse the key factors that influenced migrants’ expectations of Australia and experiences in South Australia. Chapter one traces the history of immigration to the Australian continent from the start of the twentieth century until the post-war period. It examines the existing literature on the subject of British migrants’ expectations and identifies important factors for understanding migrants’ experiences in South Australia. It summarises existing scholarly literature which has commonly associated negative British migrant experiences with misleading publicity distributed by Australian governments in Britain but notes that this perception has not been subject to sufficient analysis. Chapter two documents the aim of Australia’s post-war governments—and specifically the Commonwealth Department of Immigration—to provide British migrants with accurate information about Australia.

Reasons for immigration: What have been the main reasons for immigration into Britain over time? Immigrants have been coming to Britain for centuries. Although it is possible to see a shift in the reasons from one period to another – from seeking asylum in one era to seeking economic advancement in another – a consistent theme has been the wish to better the life chances of the immigrant and his or her family. 1.
