Replacement of Cakile edentula with Cakile maritima in New South Wales and on Lord Howe Island
No full textTwo species of Cakile (Brassicaceae) have been introduced to Australia and the genus has been a common feature on the beaches of NSW for over 130 years; Cakile edentula has been present for at least 148 years (in NSW since about 1870), while Cakile maritima arrived approximately 114 years ago, (in NSW since about 1969). Collections at CANB and NSW confirm that since around 1970 plants more like Cakile maritima have almost entirely replaced Cakile edentula along the NSW coast. A similar phenomenon is reported for Lord Howe Island

Elizabeth Andrew
No full textElizabeth Andrew was born in Bordertown, South Australia. She attended Western Teachers College, gaining a Diploma of Infant Teaching, and then graduated from the University of Adelaide with a Diploma in Arts and Education in 1968. Elizabeth came to the Territory with the Commonwealth Teaching Service in 1972 and taught at Gillen primary School, Katherine Area School and Wagaman Primary School.
In 1974 Elizabeth, at the age of 26, was elected to the Legislative Assembly as the Member for Sanderson. This was the Northern Territory's first fully elected Legislative Assembly and Elizabeth was one of the original seven members appointed to executive positions. Elizabeth is the youngest woman to have been elected to the Legislative Assembly to date.
Following her political career, Elizabeth returned to teaching at Howard Springs and Parap Primary Schools before being appointed Administrator of the Northern Territory Arts Council in 1980.
Elizabeth left the Territory in 1986 to accompany her second husband, Patrick Oates, to his naval posting to Canberra. Elizabeth was diagnosed with Ross River fever in 1989 and then with cancer later that year, succumbing to the disease on 12 April 1993. She is survived by her husband Patrick, daughter Edwina, and Stephen, a son by her first marriage.

'Pilings of Thought Under Spoken': The Poetry of Susan Howe, 1974-1993.
No full textPhDThis thesis discusses the poetry published by contemporary American poet Susan
Howe over a period of almost two decades. The dissertation is chiefly concerned with
articulating the relationship between poetic form, history, and authority in this body
of' work. Howe's poetry dredges the past for the linguistic effects of patriarchy,
colonialism and war. My reading of the work is an exploration of the ways in which a
disjunctive poetics can address such historical trauma. The poems, rather than
attempting to reinstate voices lifted from what Howe has called "the dark side of
history", are a means of reflecting the resistance that the past offers to contemporary
investigation. It is the effacement, and not the recovery, of history's victims, that is
discernible in the contours of these highly opaque texts. Notions of authority are most
often addressed in the poetry through the figure of paternal absence, which has a
threefold function in the work, serving to represent social authority, an aporetic
conception of divinity and an autobiographical narrative. Alongside the antiauthoritarian
currents in the writing - critiques, for example, of the doctrine of
Manifest Destiny or of scapegoating versions of femininity - my thesis stresses Howe's
engagement with negative theology and with a strain of American Protestant
enthusiasm that has its roots in 17th century New England. The dissertation explores
the dissonance caused by the co-existence in the poetry of elements of political dissent
and religious mysticism. Finally, I consider Howe's engagement with literary history
and authors such as Shakespeare, Swift, Thoreau and Melville. The manner in which
Howe deploys the words of others in her work, I argue, allows for a mixture of textual
polyphony and a more conventional notion of authorial 'voice'
