    University of Hawai`i at Mānoa Department of Economics Working Paper Series Saunders Hall 542, 2424 Maile Way, Honolulu, HI 96822 Phone: (808) 956 -8496 www.economics.hawaii.edu Working Paper No. 20-8 South Australia’s Employment Relief Program for Assisted Immigrants: Promises and Reality, 1838-1843 By Edwyna Harris Sumner La Croix March 2020 South Australia’s Employment Relief Program for Assisted Immigrants: Promises and Reality, 1838-1843 Edwyna Harris Sumner La Croix** Monash University University of Hawai‘i 10 March 2020 Abstract Great Britain estaBlished the new colony of South Australia (SA) in 1834. The immigration contract signed By assisted migrants required the SA government to provide those who could not find private sector work with employment on puBlic works. We use new data on the compensation of unemployed and private-sector workers to examine how the SA unemployment system functioned Before and after the onset of a major economic crisis in August 1840. We conclude that the unemployment system provided highly compensated relief employment to a small numBer of migrants prior to the crisis but as migrant numBers claiming relief employment soared Between August 1840 and OctoBer 1841, the government drastically cut compensation for relief employment. The cuts occurred in tandem with the government’s release of newly surveyed rural lands, which together provided incentives and opportunities for workers to move to rural areas to seek work on newly opened farms. A comparison of the SA employment relief program with the 1843 temporary employment relief program estaBlished in the neighBoring colony of New South Wales (NSW) shows that the NSW program neither estaBlished guarantees of joBs for assisted migrants unable to find work nor provided jobs for all assisted migrants without work during the 1843-1845 period.

    Suggestion 161 Alan Mayne 2 pages South Australian secretariat Phone (08) 8237 6504 Fax (02) 6293 7663 Email FedRedistribution-SA@aec.gov.au From: Alan Mayne Sent: Wednesday, 22 November 2017 2:30 PM To: FedRedistribution - SA Subject: Federal Seat Redistribution in South Australia Mayo: I submit below a general text that you will already have received from many Mayo electors, and which you may discount because it is based upon a shared template. However I want to emphasise here at the beginning that Mayo should not be abolished because the region it represents has historical, geographical, cultural and economic coherence and unity (AND ongoing vitality) which it would be foolish to unravel. At a time when this region is attracting world interest for its collective signature in premium-quality agricultural and viticultural production, and when its bid for UNESCO world heritage recognition is slowly gaining traction, it would be heart-rending to residents for the region to be removed from the nation's electoral map. The region would be reassigned to the margins of formal political activity (which is surely the antithesis of sensible planning for a healthy democracy?). I speak from the heart not only as a rural constituent of this complicated electoral mix of rural and city- fringe residents, but as a long-term volunteer member of the Oakbank-Balhannah CFS brigade. In the CFS (region 1) we give our all for this place, and I would expect that commitment to be considered seriously as you rework the federal electoral map of South Australia. To the Redistribution Committee for South Australia, I write to make suggestions to the South Australian Federal Redistribution currently being undertaken by the Australian Electoral Commission.
