I Would Like to Provide the Supplementary Material Attached in Relation to Submission 316 From: To: Subject: Additional material: Submission 316 Date: Thursday, 14 May 2015 5:26:59 PM Attachments: ATT00001.png ACT Hansard re Petitions 20140916.pdf Community Attitudes to Wind Farms.docx I would like to provide the supplementary material attached in relation to submission 316. It contains a brief further statement by me plus an ACT Legislative Assembly Hansard detailing 2 petitions to the ACT Legislative Assembly which may be pertinent to the Committee's discussion with any ACT Government representatives. Dr Michael Crawford Community Attitudes to Wind Farms Dr Michael Crawford 14th May 2015 SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON WIND TURBINES SUBMISSION – COMMUNITY ATTITUDES Community Attitudes to Wind Farms It is common for wind farm proponents to cite surveys that claim support for wind farms gathered in vague terms and then purport to use such surveys to support the establishment of wind farms in specific locations. In fact many people have far more careful views about wind farms that include the conditions under which they believe they should be established and operated. Many individuals who support wind farms in principle nonetheless accept they should not be established in ways likely to harm neighbours. An example is provided by a petition submitted to the ACT Legislative Assembly on 16th September 2014 by Ms Nicole Lawder. The text of the petition (Petition No 16-14) as reported in the Hansard of the Legislative Assembly for the ACT (copy attached), p 2688, is as follow: To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory. This Petition of citizens of New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory brings to the attention of the House that: 1. We as residents of NSW and the Southern Tablelands are not in favour of industrial wind turbines in non-industrial zoned areas. 2. Industrial wind farms will impact on the health, visual amenity of our community, our land values and lifestyle. 3. If the Australian Capital Territory government wants wind power it should build the facilities in the Australian Capital Territory. 4. Industrial wind turbines not be built within 5 kilometres of any dwelling. The undersigned petitioners therefore ask the Legislative Assembly to • Stop approving/sponsoring industrial wind turbines being built in non- industrial areas. • Require that industrial wind turbines not be built within 5 kilometres of any dwelling. • Require that if the Australian Capital Territory government wants wind power, then the wind turbines should be built in the Australian Capital Territory. The petition was developed by the community near and south of Tarago, NSW concerned about the proposed Jupiter wind farm. In the space of a few weeks it was signed by 652 people, a great many in the local area but also including 86 residents of the ACT. A lot of signatures were obtained from residents of Bungendore, which is near the established Capital and Woodlawn wind farms. From discussion with people signing the petition, it was apparent that a good number of them supported in principle the concept of commercial renewable energy, including wind farms. sub316ssb_Crawford.docx 2 15 May, 2015 SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON WIND TURBINES SUBMISSION – COMMUNITY ATTITUDES Yet they also supported the idea this should be subject to restrictions to protect residents. Thus they were quite willing to put their names to a petition to the ACT Legislative Assembly requesting that: • Industrial wind turbines not be built in non-industrial areas. • They should not be within 5 kilometres of any dwelling. • Jurisdictions such as the ACT that want wind power should host it themselves. Were those proposals followed, even though perhaps not perfect, they would greatly reduce the impact of wind farms on communities. A second petition (Petition No 15-14) was presented to the ACT Legislative Assembly on the same occasion (ACT Hansard p 2687). To the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory This petition of certain residents of the Australian Capital Territory, is submitted on behalf of certain residents of Collector, NSW whose signatures are below to draw to the attention of the Assembly that: As local residents of Collector, NSW living within a 10 km radius of the proposed Collector Windfarm, we declare that we DO NOT support the development of an Industrial Wind Turbine Installation as proposed by Ratchiburi. Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to: Please ensure that the ACT government does not sign an agreement with Ratch to supply energy to the ACT, noting the lack of support for it by the Collector and surrounding community who will be directly impacted. The two petitions and the experience in obtaining signatures make very clear that: • affected communities near the ACT are opposed to the establishment of further wind farms under the conditions currently allowed; and • fair-minded Australians who support wind farms in principle believe far more stringent conditions should be applied to establishment of wind farms to protect all Australians from harm and industrial intrusion.

  • Celebrities As Political Representatives: Explaining the Exchangeability of Celebrity Capital in the Political Field
    Celebrities as Political Representatives: Explaining the Exchangeability of Celebrity Capital in the Political Field Ellen Watts Royal Holloway, University of London Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Politics 2018 Declaration I, Ellen Watts, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Ellen Watts September 17, 2018. 2 Abstract The ability of celebrities to become influential political actors is evident (Marsh et al., 2010; Street 2004; 2012, West and Orman, 2003; Wheeler, 2013); the process enabling this is not. While Driessens’ (2013) concept of celebrity capital provides a starting point, it remains unclear how celebrity capital is exchanged for political capital. Returning to Street’s (2004) argument that celebrities claim to speak for others provides an opportunity to address this. In this thesis I argue successful exchange is contingent on acceptance of such claims, and contribute an original model for understanding this process. I explore the implicit interconnections between Saward’s (2010) theory of representative claims, and Bourdieu’s (1991) work on political capital and the political field. On this basis, I argue celebrity capital has greater explanatory power in political contexts when fused with Saward’s theory of representative claims. Three qualitative case studies provide demonstrations of this process at work. Contributing to work on how celebrities are evaluated within political and cultural hierarchies (Inthorn and Street, 2011; Marshall, 2014; Mendick et al., 2018; Ribke, 2015; Skeggs and Wood, 2011), I ask which key factors influence this process.

  • The Port Securityscape an Ethnography
    The port securityscape an ethnography by Yarin Eski Thesis submitted in fulfilment for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Social and Political Sciences University of Glasgow Scottish Centre for Crime and Justice Research 63 Gibson Street Glasgow G12 8LR Scotland Prof Fergus McNeill (first supervisor) Prof Simon Mackenzie (second supervisor) Dr Nicole Bourque (internal examiner) Prof Ian Loader (external examiner) Abstract 9/11 changed the face of maritime transport that is responsible for moving 80% of everything we consume. Ports are vital hubs in that maritime transport and any disruption there instantly affects global trade. To protect the global supply chain from crime and terrorism, both must be disrupted locally in the port by port police and security officers that are responsible for port security at operational level. Public and critical criminological attention to these key security actors, however, is virtually non-existent. This thesis therefore explores how their occupational realities and identities are (re)established in two major European ports, by providing an ethnographic account. To do so, the thesis builds on multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork in the ports of Rotterdam and Hamburg between 2011 and 2012, during which everyday policing and security work has been documented, followed by a thematic analysis. The key argument runs thus: the port is a local space for the global trade, which is underappreciated and underestimated by the public, and has its police and security professionals in place both aboard and on shore who protect and defend that vital trade site. The aggressive commercialist governmentality that goes on behind that vital global trade is unwillingly yielded to by these guardians but not without any bottom-up resistance.
