    Office of Professor David Flint Chairman 27 October 2000 Hon. Paul Neville MP Chairman Standing Committee on Communications, Transport and the Arts RG.95 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 [Dear Mr Neville] ABA Submission to the House Committee on Communications Government’s announcement of the inquiry into the radio industry, particularly the adequacy of radio services in regional and rural Australia, is very timely. The Australian Broadcasting Authority (ABA) has implemented many of the provisions of the Broadcasting Services Act 1992, including those relating to the planning and allocation of new services. Eight years later, it is opportune to consider the extent to which the deregulation of radio broadcasting has delivered improved services, and whether legislative provisions have adequately addressed community needs. The ABA welcomes the opportunity to provide the attached submission to the House Committee. The submission provides an overview of the effectiveness of the legislative provisions, in particular, those that are relevant to the Inquiry’s terms of reference. We would be happy to provide additional information on any particular aspect of the ABA’s submission should the House Committee so require. I note the House Committee may conduct public hearings in relation to matters covered by this inquiry, and I would be happy to attend if invited to do so. Please do let me know if we could be of further assistance in the meantime. Yours sincerely [David Flint] Submission by the Australian Broadcasting Authority to the House Committee on Communications Inquiry into the Radio Industry The changing regulatory environment Twenty years ago, a ‘typical’ regional Australian radio market contained, in addition to one or more ABC services, a single commercial radio station operating on the AM band.

Many of Australia’s greatest radio serials were produced during the 1940s. Among those listed in this guide are the Sunday night one-hour plays - The Lux Radio Theatre and The Macquarie Radio Theatre (becoming the Caltex Theatre after 1947); the many Jack Davey Shows, and The Bob Dyer Show; the Colgate Palmolive variety extravaganzas, headed by Calling the Stars, The Youth Show and McCackie Mansion, which starred the outrageously funny Mo (Roy Rene). Fine drama programs produced in Sydney in the 1940s included The Library of the Air and Max Afford's serial Hagen's Circus. Among the comedy programs listed from this decade are the George Wallace Shows, and Mrs 'Obbs with its hilariously garbled language.

  • The Effects of Road De-Icing Salts on Water Quality And
    Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology https://doi.org/10.1007/s00244-021-00827-1 The Efects of Road De‑icing Salts on Water Quality and Macroinvertebrates in Australian Alpine Areas Mark D. Shenton1 · Susan J. Nichols1 · Jon P. Bray1 · Benjamin J. G. Moulding1 · Ben J. Keford1 Received: 1 October 2020 / Accepted: 24 February 2021 © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2021 Abstract The application of road de-icing salts has the potential to salinize fresh waters and degrade habitat for aquatic organisms. In the Australian Alps, the ecological efects of even small salinity increases from de-icing may be diferent than in North America and Europe because of (1) diferences in the evolutionary history, and (2) areas with de-icing in Australia are not located in urbanized landscapes where de-icing has been largely studied elsewhere. In this study, we tried to determine the salinity increases attributable to de-icing in Australia and the efects of this increase in salinity to stream macroinvertebrates. We observed increased salt concentrations (as measured by continuous measurements of electrical conductivity (EC) and periodic measurements of chloride concentrations) in streams near two Australian ski resorts, during the snow seasons (June to September) of 2016 to 2018. The maximum EC observed in streams in salted sites near Perisher, New South Wales, was 390 µS cm−1 compared with a maximum of 26.5 µS cm −1 at unsalted sites. Lower EC values (i.e., maximum 61.1 µS cm −1) and short durations of salinity increases in streams near Falls Creek, Victoria, were not expected to cause an adverse biologi- cal response.
