  • The Death of Captain Cook in Theatre 224
    The Many Deaths of Captain Cook A Study in Metropolitan Mass Culture, 1780-1810 Ruth Scobie PhD University of York Department of English April 2013 i Ruth Scobie The Many Deaths of Captain Cook Abstract This thesis traces metropolitan representations, between 1780 and 1810, of the violent death of Captain James Cook at Kealakekua Bay in Hawaii. It takes an interdisciplinary approach to these representations, in order to show how the interlinked texts of a nascent commercial culture initiated the creation of a colonial character, identified by Epeli Hau’ofa as the looming “ghost of Captain Cook.” The introduction sets out the circumstances of Cook’s death and existing metropolitan reputation in 1779. It situates the figure of Cook within contemporary mechanisms of ‘celebrity,’ related to notions of mass metropolitan culture. It argues that previous accounts of Cook’s fame have tended to overemphasise the immediacy and unanimity with which the dead Cook was adopted as an imperialist hero; with the result that the role of the scene within colonialist histories can appear inevitable, even natural. In response, I show that a contested mythology around Cook’s death was gradually constructed over the three decades after the incident took place, and was the contingent product of a range of texts, places, events, and individuals. The first section examines responses to the news of Cook’s death in January 1780, focusing on the way that the story was mediated by, first, its status as ‘news,’ created by newspapers; and second, the effects on Londoners of the Gordon riots in June of the same year.

  • Out of Control Climate Change in Cook: Hotter, Drier and Winter No More
    October 2018 Out of control climate change in Cook: Hotter, drier and winter no more Key points • Climate data modelling by the Science Division of the Queensland Department of Environment and Science (DES)1 shows that by mid-century communities in the federal electoral division of Cook would be markedly hotter, on average 15 per cent drier and experience more periods of extreme heat because of high global emissions. • By 2050, the seasonal cycles in Cook would be unrecognisable. Existing average winter conditions would not occur. Spring and Autumn conditions would move towards the middle of the year and contract to four and a half months combined. The rest of the year would be dominated by warmer temperatures associated with summer and joined by an extended and dangerous ‘new summer’ period. • This new climate would pose greater threats to human health and critical public infrastructure in the electorate. It would also require plant and animal species in the area to rapidly adapt to a heightened level of climate change, with many unlikely to cope. Federal electorate climate impact analysis The Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) has commissioned design and data experts at the Australian National University (ANU) School of Art and Design to analyse existing climate model projections and apply them to selected federal electorates ahead of the 1 Queensland Government LongPaddock project, which uses the SILO database (http://www.longpaddock.qld.gov.au/silo) and is operated by DES. The climate ‘change factors’ used to calculate consistent climate scenarios data have been estimated using: Coupled Model Intercomparison Research Program 3 (CMIP3) patterns of change data (projected changes per degree of 21st Century global warming) supplied by the CSIRO and the UK Met Office/Hadley Centre; and data from AR4 SRES scenario temperature response curves (projected amounts of global warming) supplied by the CSIRO.

  • Office of Profit Under the Crown
    RESEARCH PAPER SERIES, 2017–18 14 JUNE 2018 Office of profit under the Crown Professor Anne Twomey, University of Sydney Law School Executive summary • Section 44(iv) of the Constitution provides that a person is incapable of being chosen as a Member of Parliament if he or she holds an ‘office of profit under the Crown’. This is also a ground for disqualification from office for existing members and senators under section 45. There has been considerable uncertainty about what is meant by holding an office of profit under the Crown. • First the person must hold an ‘office’. This is a position to which duties attach of a work-like nature. It is usually, but not always the case, that the office continues to exist independently of the person who holds it. However, a person on the ‘unattached’ list of the public service still holds an office. • Second, it must be an ‘office of profit’. This means that some form of ‘profit’ or remuneration must attach to the office, regardless of whether or not that profit is transferred to the office- holder. Reimbursement of actual expenses does not amount to ‘profit’, but a public servant who is on leave without pay or an office-holder who declines to accept a salary or allowances still holds an office of profit. The source of the profit does not matter. Even if it comes from fees paid by members of the public or other private sources, as long as the profit is attached to the office, that is sufficient. • Third, the office of profit must be ‘under the Crown’.

  • 2007 Election Overview and Key Issues
    2 2007 election overview and key issues Background 2.1 The 2007 federal election was announced by the Prime Minister the Hon John Howard MP on Sunday 14 October 2007. Writs for the election were issued on Wednesday 17 October for the House of Representatives election and a half-Senate election.1 2.2 Once the writs are issued, a timetable is specified in the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 for a range of tasks and events including the close of the electoral rolls, the nomination of candidates, the declaration of nominations and polling day. The date of other events associated with the election, including the return of the writs, flow on from these events (table 2.1). 2.3 Following amendments to the Commonwealth Electoral Act in 2006, the close of rolls period changed from seven days after the issue of the writ to 8pm on the day the writs for the election are issued for a person enrolling for the first time or re-enrolling after having been removed from the roll. 2.4 The close of roll amendments also provided for a period of three ‘working days’ after the writs are issued for people to complete and submit a proof of identity compliant enrolment form in limited circumstances: if a person is 17 years of age, but will turn 18 between the day after the issue of the writs and election day (inclusive); if a person will become an Australian citizen between the day after the issue of the writs and the day before election day (inclusive); or 1 Australian Electoral Commission, submission 169, p 5.

  • Report on the Conduct of the 2007 Federal Election and Matters Related Thereto
    The Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia Report on the conduct of the 2007 federal election and matters related thereto Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters June 2009 Canberra © Commonwealth of Australia 2009 ISBN 978-0-642-79156-6 (Printed version) ISBN 978-0-642-79157-3 (HTML version) Chair’s foreword The publication of this report into the conduct of the 2007 federal election marks 25 years since the implementation of major reforms to the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 which were implemented by the Commonwealth Electoral Legislation Act 1983 and came into effect for the 1984 federal election. These reforms included changes to redistribution processes, the implementation of public funding of election campaigns and the establishment of the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC). This report continues the tradition of examining and reporting on the conduct of federal elections and relevant legislation which has been carried out by the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters and its predecessor, the Joint Select Committee on Electoral Reform. Federal elections in Australia are remarkably complex logistical events. The 2007 election was the largest electoral event undertaken in Australia’s history, with 13,646,539 electors on the electoral roll, to whom 13,364,359 sets of ballot papers were issued, with some 12,930,814 actually being counted in House of Representatives Elections. Australian citizens enjoy a fundamental right to vote which has its basis in sections 7 and 24 of the Constitution. It is evident, however, that at least 466,794 electors were unable to exercise the franchise correctly at the 2007 election, either because they were not on the electoral roll, or they were on the roll with incomplete or incorrect details.

  • The Federal Redistribution 2006 NEW SOUTH WALES, Suggestion
    24 March 2006 Redistribution Committee for New South Wales Level 4, Roden Cutler House 24 Campbell Street, Haymarket, NSW 2000 Dear Commissioners, I attach the suggestion of the Australian Labor Party, (NSW Branch), for your consideration. This includes a map for each suggested Division and is provided by CD-ROM containing the MapInfo data used by the Australian Electoral Commission. Kind regards, Mark Arbib GENERAL SECRETARY Australian Labor Party (NSW Branch) Suggestions 1 of 36 AUSTRALIAN LABOR PARTY (NEW SOUTH WALES BRANCH) SUGGESTIONS 24TH MARCH, 2006. INTRODUCTION AND APPROACH ADOPTED The suggestions made by the Australian Labor Party (ALP) are the end product of a process that includes extensive consultation with both MP’s and party units. We had to take into account several considerations before making our suggestions. One consideration which frankly, we had to consider is the fact that the current boundaries are the most biased against the ALP in the entire history of Australia. Following the 2004 election, the Australian Labor Party (ALP) has 60 of the 150 seats in the House of Representatives. In 2004 the ALP’s national two party preferred (2PP) vote was 47.3%. On current electoral boundaries, for the ALP to win a majority (76) of Divisions it requires a uniform swing of 5% or 52.3% 2PP. In NSW, in 2004, on current boundaries, for the ALP to win a majority (26) it would have needed 53.4% of the 2PP vote in the State. Yet this state of affairs has arisen in spite of the 1984 reforms to the Australian Electoral Act of one vote one value.
