Joe was a brilliant stockman ∗ 20th April: Easter Sunday who knew exactly what to do with minimum instruction, which, in this day and age, is a long lost skill. He was a good old mate whom I’ll miss. ∗ 25th April: ANZAC Day ∗ 10th-11th May: Birdsville Campdraft, Rodeo and Bronco Branding We have also lost Jean Smith of Bedourie, a long time resident of the shire. Jean grew up on the Birdsville Track in South Australia and was the daughter of legendary whip maker Alec Scobie.

Mr Bruce Scott (ex Barcoo Shire Mayor) and Mr Ray Heffernan have joined me in undertaking deputations with various members and senators of the federal government and opposition. Over three days we will attend a total of 22 meetings. On Monday 24th March we were fortunate to meet with Mr. Malcolm Turnbull, the federal Minister for Communications, and sought his support. See the above photo of our delegation members with the communi- cations minister. Our deputations so far have been well received, particularly the level of support for the project from both councils and the Queensland state government. It is yet to be seen if our visit results in funding secured for the project. However, we remain hopeful. I want to take the opportunity to welcome the following new staff to council: Amanda Schnitzerling - Executive Assistant Neville Burrows - Administration officer (creditors) David Roberts - Facilities Maintenance Officer I am confident that they will make a positive contribution to both the council and the community and I ask you to welcome them warmly. In response to his resignation, I would like to acknowledge the contribution that Mr Terry Morris has made to council while employed as the DSC’s corporate services manager for the past twelve months. Terry recently re- signed from this position due to health and family reasons and I wish him well for the future. Mr Leon Love, Diamantina Shire Council CEO Page 3 Desert Yarns From the Tourism and Community Desk There was a meeting of the Far-West Alliance group of councils on 18th March. Barcoo, Boulia and Diamantina shires are exploring opportunities for joint tourism projects. Chief Executive Officers and Mayors discussed a num- ber of exciting ideas for 2014/2015. The desert is now open and visitor numbers are starting to increase. Road conditions do change quickly so please check the latest road condition report on either the Diamantina Shire Council web site or facebook page before travelling. Both the Wirrarri Visitor Centre in Birdsville and the Bedourie Outback Visitor Centre were audited by the QLD Tourism Industry Council in March. Both centres passed the audit and have been approved to continue to display the blue and yellow accredited ‘I’ symbol. The new Outback QLD Traveller’s Guide for 2014/2015 has arrived and contains information on what to see and do throughout our region. Council will be attending the 4WD show in Brisbane and the Caravan & Camping Su- pershow in Sydney with a stand promoting the Diamantina and encouraging people to visit. If you would like more information please contact Maggie Den Ronden at the Bedourie Outback Visitor Centre. We welcome Joanne Jackson in Bedourie and Cindy Hodson in Birdsville as our new early childhood coordinators. Please talk to the coordinators about what you want from playgroup as both centres will be providing a new and exciting program for our youngest residents and their parents or carers. At their meeting last Monday, council approved the extension of the wet area for the Birdsville Races, which has been expanded to include the area between Frew and Vaughan streets. This will mean that people can legally con- sume alcohol in this area. Council has also agreed to increase the number of portable toilets that are placed around town and in the camping area during the event. Council has confirmed that the tent city this year will be located in the area adjacent to the pontoon, off Burt Street, and this should have a capacity of over 200 tents. Bookings will open in early April. New consultation dates for the health service plans have been announced by Central West Hospital and Health. They will be held from 12-1pm on 7th April in Birdsville and 12-1pm on 8th April in Bedourie. This extension of Birdsville State School pool opening hours and the employment of a lifeguard was extremely well received in the community. The number of patrons exceeded council’s expectations. Privately run swim lessons also proved popular. Thanks to lifeguard Jenna Brook for her hard work and also to the Birdsville State School and the Royal Life Saving Society for their assistance. The last public opening day for the pool in Birdsville will be Mon- day 7th April 2014. The Diamantina Youth Council next meets on 9th April 2014 in Birdsville. We have an active council this year and the group recently developed a Facebook page that will be used throughout the year to provide an update on youth council activities Steven Baldwin, Tourism and Community Manager Page 4 Desert Yarns Works Report The construction crew has completed work on the Birdsville - Windorah road by re-sheeting a section that’s approximately 12km long.

Burns claims researchers have found mercury based equipment may provide incorrect readings. Professor Stephen Harrap claims GPs have not been making errors, but old mercury machines can be hard to read accurately. Professor Harrap explains how digital equipment works. Harrap claims most GPs do not use digital equipment yet, but they should because mercury is toxic and there is a move to replace mercury- based machines. Professor Harrap claims modern machines can be available for home measurement.

The President of the High Blood Pressure Research Council, Professor Stephen Harrap explains. He said the mercury method is both time and labour intensive, while the digital method involves simply pushing a button and is much more reliable. He said mercury is also poisonous. He said the High Blood Pressure Research Council will announce tomorrow at a meeting of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners in Brisbane an offer of one of these machines free to any GP in Australia who is interested.

  • Unconventional Gas, Discursive Framing And
    Silences in the boom: coal seam gas, neoliberalizing discourse, and the future of regional Australia Alexandra Mercer Kim de Rijke Wolfram Dressler University of Queensland, Australia1 University of Melbourne, Australia Abstract In high-stakes resource use struggles currently playing out across the world, different beliefs about economics and "growth-first" regional development underpin decisions and dynamics that have far-reaching consequences. Neoliberalizing political economies rely on the maintenance of particular beliefs associated with these themes, and work to delegitimize and silence alternatives. Thus understanding the beliefs of actors concerning these themes, especially with respect to neoliberal ideas, is key to understanding these socio- political struggles. This article uses a combination of literature review, critical discourse analysis and selected fieldwork data to explore the recent debate about coal seam gas (CSG) in Eastern Australia. In particular, it examines the ideas that underlie texts produced by CSG production companies, the Queensland Government, and Lock the Gate (a key group opposed to rapid CSG industry expansion). The analysis indicates that with respect to the above themes, Lock the Gate expresses their opposition to CSG through perspectives that mostly depart from those with a key role in maintaining neoliberalizing political economies. In contrast, the Queensland government and CSG companies, despite each encompassing significant internal diversity, have expressed relatively similar and consistent positions,

    Doc. 102 RELEASED UNDER FREEDOM OF INFORMATION RELEASED UNDER FREEDOM OF INFORMATION RELEASED UNDER FREEDOM OF INFORMATION RELEASED UNDER FREEDOM OF INFORMATION RELEASED UNDER FREEDOM OF INFORMATION Doc. 103 There is mounting evidence that the coldest minima measured by the Bureau’s weather stations have not been entered into ADAM (Australian Data Archive for Meteorology). This is because of limits placed on the recording of temperatures below minus 10 degrees Celsius. The Bureau has not prevented the coldest minimum temperatures from being entered into the national data base. There are standard quality control measures applied to extreme temperatures to verify that they are real, and not the result of an error in the observing system (such as may be due to instrumental error or errors in the transmission of the data to the Bureau). This process is analogously applied to rainfall and other meteorological observations, since experience has shown that extreme values should be subject to verification. This is additional to the Bureau closing stations in cold locations, for example Charlotte Pass – while opening new stations in hot places. The Bureau’s method for analysing Australian temperature trends accounts for changes in the observing network over time. The network changes for a range of reasons. For example, during the early period of record, observations expanded with the settlement of the continent. More recently, changing infrastructure requirements has led to a shift in the siting of some instruments. The process of accounting for these changes has been independently reviewed by a panel of international experts and through the recent Technical Advisory Forum.

  • Australian Cultural and Creative Activity: a Population and Hotspot Analysis Central West Queensland: Blackall-Tambo, Longreach and Winton
    Australian Cultural and Creative Activity: A Population and Hotspot Analysis Central West Queensland: Blackall-Tambo, Longreach and Winton This report is an output of an Australian Research Council Linkage project (LP160101724) led by Queensland University of Technology in partnership with the University of Newcastle, Arts Queensland, Create NSW, Creative Victoria, Arts South Australia and the WA Department of Culture and the Arts. This report is designed to strategically address aspects of cultural and creative activity in Central West Queensland. It focuses on core features that make the region distinctive: the critical social role that arts play; tourism’s dependence on cultural heritage infrastructure; and the ambitions for screen production in, and representation of, the region. It also touches on opportunities for policy and program development by government, council and public agency. Major points The Central West Queensland region is facing huge challenges—the major psychological and economic depressive effects of long-term drought, youth leaving for work and study, and the recent loss of its leading local post-secondary education facility, the Queensland Agricultural Training College, and the well- established additional costs of cultural consumption in remote Australia. Despite this, it is an outstanding example of a remote community whose dedicated and resourceful people have established and maintained nationally significant cultural and heritage infrastructure underpinning the tourism activity which has become increasingly a mainstay of the local economy. Arts are a vital community service. While there is legitimate debate globally whether arts and creative activity should be prized for their intrinsic (cultural) value or equally for their social and economic benefits, there is no question in the Central West that publicly-funded arts provides a deep community service, underpinned by volunteer labour that is way ahead of national and state averages.

  • The Switch Off of ABC/Radio Australia High
    The Switch off of ABC/Radio Australia High Frequency Broadcasting: We are being dudded! The ABC is claiming that the money saved by the shutdown will be used for DAB+ digital radio in Darwin, Gold Coast, Canberra and Hobart. Firstly please note that these are cities not regions. The ACMA’s Digital Radio Planning Committee: Technical Subcommittee is planning to reduce the power used for digital radio in regional areas from the 50 kW used in mainland state capital cities to 5 kW in country areas. When Australia switched over from analog to digital television, the Department of Communications/ACMA produced a coverage area map which uses a 3D map of Australia and propagation software. It used the signal strength calculated at a receiving antenna height above the ground of 10 m. They also backed up this map with a significant amount of national signal strength surveying using four wheel drive vehicles with a pump up 10 m mast. The result can be seen here. https://myswitch.digitalready.gov.au/ This map shows poor signal strengths with the TV antenna 10 m above the ground. DAB+ digital radio is transmitted from the same site at the same power, but a car parked on the street has its antenna only 1.5 m above the ground and receives nothing. This site is only 17 km from the main high powered transmitters. There is additional signals coming from a UHF translator on a site near a DAB+ repeater in Hawkesbury which are also weak. Compare this map with; The ABC https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?ll=- 33.79740899999998%2C150.99609399999997&spn=0.798849%2C0.961304&hl=en&msa=0&z=9&so urce=embed&ie=UTF8&mid=1kNyJ8aqkP HS4-IuHhTgrnl2JeA Or Commercial Radio Australia http://www.digitalradioplus.com.au/dab-in-vehicles Note that neither of these maps show any holes in the coverage as shown by the 3D modelling for TV.
