Abstract:
An incursion of sugarcane smut in Queensland was identified in 2006 in Bundaberg, Ingham, and Mackay. In 2008, two cultivars, ‘Q205’ and ‘Q170’, were highly susceptible in Bundaberg but remained disease free on a heavily infested farm in Mackay. A glasshouse experiment was established to determine whether the differences in disease expression were due to the sources of the two cultivars sourced from Bundaberg and Mackay in 2009. These were inoculated with the Mackay population of Sporisorium scitamineum spores. These cultivars had the same levels of disease, indicating that the variation in the clonal source of the cultivars was not responsible for the observed differences. A second glasshouse experiment in 2013 confirmed that highly susceptible Q205 and Q170 were resistant to the Mackay population of S. scitamineum but remained susceptible to the Bundaberg population. In 2010, S. scitamineum populations of smut fungi from Mackay and Bundaberg were compared in a field trial and the Mackay population had significantly less disease than the Bundaberg population on four cultivars (Q170, Q205, ‘Q174’, and ‘Q138’) but had significantly more disease in ‘Q188’. These results confirmed the field observations and suggested that there was a differential response among the cultivars for the smut fungi collected from Mackay compared with Bundaberg and are genetically different. This finding suggests that a mixture of spores should be used to inoculate sugarcane clones for resistance screening.

Abstract:
A major crisis affected Bundaberg Hospital in 2005 following the exposure of the concerns about Dr Jayant Patel and the subsequent sudden exit of the Hospital Executive. The Bundaberg Emergency Response Team (BERT) was created as an emergency intervention whose brief was, over a 6-week period, to maintain the function of the hospital in the face of the community’s loss of confidence in the service; to find out what had happened to Dr Patel’s patients and to organise appropriate care and treatment for them. The authors acted as the senior members of BERT. Serious events such as these are rare and there was no framework to guide the team. BERT quickly established processes to assess the extent of harm to patients and to mobilise large scale clinical and counselling assistance for patients and staff. The team also managed the local health service, engagement with the community and assistance with the various investigations being conducted into Dr Patel. BERT was considered by the community and the former patients of Dr Patel to be an appropriate and professional response to the situation. The experience provides a framework for responses to these types of situations and herein we discuss key points for successful implementation. What is known about the topic? There is little in the literature that describes a framework used to successfully manage a hospital in crisis after serious public allegations are made. What does this paper add? The paper adds the findings of the management of a rare but very significant event: a hospital going into crisis after serious public allegations are made. It also provides the learnings of the management team in this event, and a framework for the future management of similar crises. What are the implications for practitioners? The framework provided in this paper is unique. Given the need for a rapid response in such events and the rarity of these events, practitioners now have a readily available tool to help them rapidly provide the appropriate response.

Abstract:
It has been reported that high-density planting of sugarcane can improve cane and sugar yield through promoting rapid canopy closure and increasing radiation interception earlier in crop growth. It is widely known that the control of adverse soil biota through fumigation (removes soil biological constraints and improves soil health) can improve cane and sugar yield. Whether the responses to high-density planting and improved soil health are additive or interactive has important implications for the sugarcane production system. Field experiments established at Bundaberg and Mackay, Queensland, Australia, involved all combinations of 2-row spacings (0.5 and 1.5 m), two planting densities (27 000 and 81 000 two-eyed setts/ha), and two soil fumigation treatments (fumigated and non-fumigated). The Bundaberg experiment had two cultivars (Q124, Q155), was fully irrigated, and harvested 15 months after planting. The Mackay experiment had one cultivar (Q117), was grown under rainfed conditions, and harvested 10 months after planting. High-density planting (81 000 setts/ha in 0.5-m rows) did not produce any more cane or sugar yield at harvest than low-density planting (27 000 setts/ha in 1.5-m rows) regardless of location, crop duration (15 v. 10 months), water supply (irrigated v. rainfed), or soil health (fumigated v. non-fumigated). Conversely, soil fumigation generally increased cane and sugar yields regardless of site, row spacing, and planting density. In the Bundaberg experiment there was a large fumigation × cultivar × density interaction (P < 0.01). Cultivar Q155 responded positively to higher planting density in non-fumigated soil but not in fumigated soil, while Q124 showed a negative response to higher planting density in non-fumigated soil but no response in fumigated soil. In the Mackay experiment, Q117 showed a non-significant trend of increasing yield in response to increasing planting density in non-fumigated soil, similar to the Q155 response in non-fumigated soil at Bundaberg. The similarity in yield across the range of row spacings and planting densities within experiments was largely due to compensation between stalk number and stalk weight, particularly when fumigation was used to address soil health. Further, the different cultivars (Q124 and Q155 at Bundaberg and Q117 at Mackay) exhibited differing physiological responses to the fumigation, row spacing, and planting density treatments. These included the rate of tiller initiation and subsequent loss, changes in stalk weight, and propensity to lodging. These responses suggest that there may be potential for selecting cultivars suited to different planting configurations.

Full text
Abstract:
Experiments involving breaks to the sugarcane monoculture, soil fumigation and the application of biocides were conducted in Bundaberg, the Burdekin Valley and at Tully, three sugarcane-growing regions in Queensland, Australia. The aim was to elucidate the cause(s) of previously observed positive yield responses to breaks in the monoculture and assess persistence into a subsequent cane cycle. In all three experiments there was a positive response in the plant cane crop to fumigation of land that was under sugarcane monoculture, the response being 32, 39 and 21% for the Burdekin, Tully and Bundaberg experiments, respectively. Further, at Tully, the response was maintained into the ratoons. Fumigation after breaks also enhanced yields but the results were variable and were generally less than the response following sugarcane monoculture. At Tully, fumigating after bare fallow, grain crop and pasture breaks enhanced cane yields by 23, 26 and 29%, respectively, while in the Burdekin, responses to fumigation were much smaller at 9% (bare fallow), 4% (grain crop) and 8% (pasture). In Bundaberg, responses ranged from nil following a long-term (70 months) grass pasture up to 35% following a short-term (12 months) grass pasture, with a general trend for the response to fumigation being larger following short-term than long-term breaks. In the Tully experiment, biocides had variable effects on sugarcane growth and yield. Fungicide application produced as good a yield as fumigation whereas nematicides had little direct influence. However, when combined with fungicides, nematicides provided a synergistic effect in terms of shoot development. The results suggested that at the Tully site, fungi were the major detrimental biota associated with poor yields in long-term sugarcane monoculture, but nematodes had some influence once fungi were controlled. In two additional experiments at Bundaberg and Burdekin, it was shown that if the cane stool was removed after the plant crop (Bundaberg) and second ratoon (Burdekin) and sugarcane re-planted, there were no residual effects of breaks and fumigation. Thus it appears that the positive effects of breaks and fumigation measured in the ratoons were more associated with the development of a healthy stool in the plant crop than any residual effect on soil biota. In general the similarly positive response to fumigation and breaks indicated that a considerable part of the overall response to breaks was due to reducing the adverse effect of detrimental soil biota (largely fungi although there was an effect on nematodes). The type and duration of break was also important with long-term pasture being the most effective. However, the duration of the fumigation and break effects on soil biota only lasted for the plant crop.

Abstract:
The ability to accurately and systematically monitor avocado crop phenology offers significant benefits for the optimization of farm management activities, improvement of crop productivity, yield estimation, and evaluation crops’ resilience to extreme weather conditions and future climate change. In this study, Sentinel-2-derived enhanced vegetation indices (EVIs) from 2017 to 2021 were used to retrieve canopy reflectance information that coincided with crop phenological stages, such as flowering (F), vegetative growth (V), fruit maturity (M), and harvest (H), in commercial avocado orchards in Bundaberg, Queensland and Renmark, South Australia. Tukey’s honestly significant difference (Tukey-HSD) test after one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with EVI metrics (EVImean and EVIslope) showed statistically significant differences between the four phenological stages. From a Pearson correlation analysis, a distinctive seasonal trend of EVIs was observed (R = 0.68 to 0.95 for Bundaberg and R = 0.8 to 0.96 for Renmark) in all 5 years, with the peak EVIs being observed at the M stage and the trough being observed at the F stage. However, a Tukey-HSD test showed significant variability in mean EVI values between seasons for both the Bundaberg and Renmark farms. The variability of the mean EVIs between the two farms was also evident with a p-value < 0.001. This novel study highlights the applicability of remote sensing for the monitoring of avocado phenological stages retrospectively and near-real time. This information not only supports the ‘benchmarking’ of seasonal orchard performance to identify potential impacts of seasonal weather variation and pest and disease incursions, but when seasonal growth profiles are aligned with the corresponding annual production, it can also be used to develop phenology-based yield prediction models.

Abstract:
[Abstract]: Sugarcane farmers in Bundaberg have had limited access to irrigation water over the last ten years. The district has the potential of growing 3.8 million tonnes of sugarcane. However, a series of dry seasons saw this reduce to 2.1 million tonnes in 2002. Compounding the effects of both dry seasons and limited water supplies has been a 30% reduction in the sugar price over this period. The irrigation requirement of sugarcane in the Bundaberg area is 8 ML/ha. The original allocated volume for sugarcane production in this area was 4.5 ML/ha (based on 1970 production areas). However, as the area under production has increased and announced allocations in each year has reduced, this allocation is now equivalent to an application volume of about 2 ML/ha A change from the traditional practice of full irrigation is required as water supplies become depleted. As there were no clear guidelines on how growers could respond to diminishing water supplies, this research investigated opportunities to fine tune irrigation practices and the performance of irrigation systems (ie. low cost solutions) that would assist growers to maximise sugarcane yield. A grower survey was initially conducted to identify current practice and opportunities for change. Field investigations focused on the performance of water winch and furrow irrigation systems, which make up 91% of the irrigated area in the district. As most of these application systems have insufficient capacity to meet crop demands opportunities to schedule irrigations were limited to start up after rain. Improvements in irrigation system performance were found to provide the greatest potential to increase sugarcane yield under conditions of limited water. Investigations identified that irrigation performance could be significantly improved through relatively minor adjustment. Field trials found that wind speed and direction significantly influenced the performance of travelling gun irrigators. Although growers were generally aware of the effects of wind, meteorological data suggested that the opportunity to operate water winches in low wind conditions is limited. Changing to a taper nozzle under moderate to high wind conditions will reduce the effect of wind on performance. This practice was found to improve the uniformity (measured by Christiansen’s Uniformity Coefficient, CU) by 16%. The grower survey indicated that there was no preference towards the use of taper nozzles in windy conditions. Additional trial work developed a relationship between the variation in water applied to the field through non uniformity and sugarcane yield. An 8% reduction in yield was determined for a 10% reduction in CU. This indicated that changing to a taper nozzle could potentially increase sugarcane yield by 15% in high wind conditions. Other settings, which also influenced uniformity, included lane spacing and gun arc angle Simple changes to the operation of furrow irrigation systems were also found to dramatically improve irrigation performance. Field measurements in combination with simulation modelling of irrigation events using SIRMOD II identified that current irrigation performance ranged in application efficiency from 45 to 99% (mean of 79%) and a distribution uniformity from 71 to 93% (mean of 82%). Both application efficiency and distribution uniformity were increased to greater than 90% and 84% respectively, except on a cracking clay soil. Improvements in application efficiency and distribution uniformity were achieved by adjusting furrow flow rate (cup size), turning the irrigation off at the right time (ie. just as it reached the end of the field) and banking the end of the field. Growers had a good understanding of the correct cut off time and were attentive to reducing run off through either banking ends or tail water return. However, growers had a poor understanding of the significance of furrow flow rate. Other opportunities to improve irrigation performance on high infiltration soils included alternate furrow irrigation and shallow cultivation practices which maintained compaction in the interspace and reduced infiltration. Soil moisture and crop growth measurements indicated that sugarcane yield could be maximised by starting the irrigation rotation earlier after rainfall (ie. at a deficit equal to the irrigation amount). These observations were modelled using the crop simulation model APSIM sugar to assess the strategy over a longer time interval and the influence of seasonal variation. Simulation modelling showed that final sugarcane yields were not sensitive to irrigation start-up strategies. Yields for the start-up strategies modelled varied by less than 5 tc/ha. This minor difference occurred as the crop yield was driven by the total amount of water available to the plant. The limited amount of irrigation water available to the plant (2 to 3 ML/ha) had only a minor effect on the water balance and no significant change to effective rainfall between strategies. The greatest difference in yield occurred between irrigation treatments when water was left over at the end of the season (9.2 tc/ha). Starting irrigation earlier after rainfall events (on a 14 day rotation) provided the greatest opportunity to use all of the available irrigation supply. By comparison, delaying the application of the first irrigation after rainfall resulted in some of the irrigation water not being applied in 30% of years.

Abstract:
Guidance officers are members of the counselling profession who provide counselling to children and adolescents in state schools in Queensland. A guidance officer's clinical practice is generally regarded as including counselling and related activities such as consultation and referral. An expectation of the guidance officer who works for Education Queensland, as prescribed in their position description, is that they should seek clinical supervision. Those guidance officers who are members of the Queensland Guidance and Counselling Association would find this expectation reinforced in their association's code of ethics. There is an expectation therefore that those in the counselling profession such as guidance officers working as counsellors should seek regular clinical supervision. It is one of the roles of the senior guidance officer in the Education Queensland organisation to develop and implement a system of clinical supervision for guidance officers. This responsibility for the supervision of guidance officers has occurred in the last ten years and in the last five years or so the role of clinical supervision has become clear. As a result there are now organisational requirements in addition to the professional expectations that clinical supervision be sought and provided. However there has been little training provided by university guidance training programs or by Education Queensland in clinical supervision of guidance officers. This has meant that as a supervisor of clinical practices I have learned the role "on the job", by talking with other supervisees and supervisors, by reading the literature, attending two two-day training workshops and by reflection on these experiences. I saw that educational action research would improve supervision practice in our school district. My thesis tells the story of my professional development as a clinical supervisor of guidance officers over a two-year period in what I have called "A Supervision Improvement Cycle". Each chapter of the thesis tells the story of a part of the cycle. In chapter one the context of the study is established. In particular the focus is on supervision roles, the dominant supervision culture and an assessment of my clinical supervisor learning needs. In chapter two the methodology is discussed and the educational action research plan outlined. In the following chapter there is a review some of the clinical supervision literature in preparation for the educational action research. In chapter four the story of the educational action research project with a focus on my supervision relationships, negotiating supervision and the use of supervision interventions is told. The final chapter is written in the genre of a journal article and has been published in the guidance and counselling periodical "Connections" (Shaw, in press). As such it has been subjected to a process of professional critique through the publishing process. As an article its purpose is to inform the judgement of others and as chapter five of the project its purpose is to discuss the findings of the action research and make recommendations. The chapter/article has been written in such a way so as to be able to achieve both these aims.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the statistical seismic hazard that exists within the Bundaberg area and derives microzonation information for Bundaberg City, suitable for conjoint use with AS1170.4 - 1993, and its future replacements, in determining Earthquake Loading for design and construction engineering. A brief history of significant seismic events that have occurred in the Bundaberg area is provided, including presentation of an isoseismal map for the 1997 Bundaberg earthquake, and the regional geography is outlined. The effect of ground motion amplification and how it increases the seismic risk at sites within the Bundaberg City area is examined. The use of spectral ratios of ambient seismic noise, calculated from seismograms of microtremors, in characterising local site response to ground motion is discussed in detail. Specifically, horizontal to vertical spectral ratios (HVSR), otherwise referred to as Nakamura Spectra, are used to determine the local site responses of engineering interest (microzonation), for a 1 km grid of the Bundaberg City area. A methodology and associated computer software is developed to calculate Nakamura Spectra and to carry out the microzonation analysis. The results are presented in map form, suitable for viewing on a Geographical Information System (GIS). The Nakamura Spectra are also used to estimate the known depths of sedimentary deposits in the Bundaberg area. The estimated depths show a positive correlation with known depths thus verifying the applicability of the Nakamura Spectra for the purposes of microzonation.

Full text
Abstract:
This case study of two mill areas in Queensland examines the social consequences of restructured practices in sugarcane production, focusing on harvesting. Two significant 'moments' in the recent history of the industry are identified as drivers of social change. The first is the shift from manual to mechanical harvesting; the second is the more recent introduction of intensified production regimes such as 'continuous crushing' and harvesting rosters. The neo-Marxist (see Goodman and Redclift, 1985) concept of 'subsumption'-the direct and indirect penetration of internal and external capitalist social relations into 'family farming'-is combined with, arguably, the lesser known, and largely untested notion of 'disconnectedness' (van der Ploeg, 1992). Investigation and evaluation of indicators of direct and indirect 'subsumption' and of six types of 'disconnectedness' assists a deeper understanding of social change, not only in sugar cane harvesting, but also in industrialised agriculture in generaL To reconcile these competing theoretical approaches, an integrated neo-structurationist framework is adopted which recognises that structural determinism can be counteracted by recognition that people are able to make strategic decisions and take action to further their interests. Layder's (1998) 'adaptive theory'-a novel conceptual framework that combines inductive and deductive reasoning-underpins the methodological approach. A comparative case study has been applied and qualitative and quantitative methods (focus groups, unstructured interviews and observation and a mailed survey questionnaire) used to collect local empirical data. The survey, using a variant of Dillman's (1978) 'total design method', generated a response rate of about 50 per cent. Several 'occupation categories' relative to harvesting are created from among the respondents-broadening normative understandings of 'farmers' to these three 'ideal types' enables consideration of similarities and differences among them as they are exposed to aspects of subsumption and disconnectedness. An emerging 'class' of 'harvesting contractors' (which includes grower-harvesters and grower-self-harvesters) challenges the assumption that all cane growers harvest their own crops. This has implications for autonomous decision-making (a feature of subsumption), and furthermore, introduces the idea that their levels of involvement ('connectedness') in harvesting are different. Contract harvesting--considered here as a sub-process of farming, augments sugar cane production, but both are controlled (co-ordinated) ultimately to serve the interests of the mills, despite a veneer of 'cooperation' and interdependency. All producers are formally and informally involved in vertically integrated production, via, respectively, industry regulation, and tacit reliance on farmers to make unpaid effort and to be prepared to absorb risks as they continue to provide mill raw material. Analysis shows that about 80 per cent of family farms are harvested under contract. This trend towards the externalisation of mechanical harvesting (and other farm tasks) is associated with the process of subsumption and the production (and reproduction) of one of the 'disconnections' in agriculture. Overall, recognition of externalisation questions the way that the 'family-farming project' is defined. Yet, harvesting is practiced within a 'contested terrain' of interaction that denies any inevitability to either subsumption or disconnected-ness. As a result, subsumption and disconnectedness appear to be relative -- growers only and grower-harvesters are differently subsumed, and occupy different levels of disconnectedness. In general, grower-self-harvesters are the most connected; growers only are the most disconnected. Moreover, grower-harvesters, to some extent, are doubly subsumed as they occupy a harvesting machinery 'treadmill' which growers only manage to avoid. While choosing to relinquish their connectedness, however, growers only manage to avoid subsurnption. The thesis demonstrates that despite some qualification-or 'adaptation'-linking theories of subsumption and disconnectedness allows them to complement each other and thus provide a more comprehensive explanation of the structures and conditions of sugar production.

Abstract:
This study carries forward the exploration of the need for additional initiatives to enhance vaccination uptake against hepatitis A infection in child care workers in the Bundaberg region. The purpose of this quantitative study was to identify the self reported hepatitis A immunisation levels amongst workers in long day care (LDC) centres. The study set out to evaluate by survey, the awareness levels of National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) recommendations for hepatitis A immunisation of workers, compare reported hepatitis A levels with self reported hepatitis B immunisation levels and centre practices in relation to policy, record keeping and centre director and worker risk perception. The study was conducted as a confidential postal survey between July and September 1999, by purposive sampling with questionnaires of 163 workers and 15 centre directors. Although a majority believed their occupational situation placed them at increased risk, only 34.3% of workers were immunised against hepatitis A. Changing nappies of children on a weekly basis was reported by 72.4%. While twice as many for hepatitis B than hepatitis A, only half had subsequently undertaken serological testing to confirm hepatitis B post-vaccination immunity. Most workers perceived their occupation placed them at increased risk of infection and were aware of NHMRC recommendations for immunisation, but failed to translate this to vaccination uptake against hepatitis A. Only one centre reported a policy for staff immunisation, while 93% had policies for children. Record keeping was reportedly inconsistent across surveyed centres, with irregular updating and identified a need for further policy and educational and training initiatives for improvements at regional LDC centres. Findings confirm a lack of awareness of NHMRC recommendations. The study suggests a continuing misconception of greater risk of hepatitis B than hepatitis A. Approximately 25% of surveyed workers were in favour of either free immunisation or some form of government or employer subsidised immunisation program for child care staff. This dissertation established a set of regional data on current hepatitis A awareness and self reported immunisation levels in LDC centres.

Abstract:

During the course of the Twentieth Century the Australian sugar industry became increasingly regulated to such an extent that by the 1980s it was the most highly regulated industry in Australia. Since the 1980s pressures, both internal and external to the industry, have resulted in significant deregulation and subsequent restructuring.

Internal pressures have resulted from the Australian government's adoption of economic rationalist polices in order to meet what it perceived to be the challenges of globalisation, as well as more localized factors such as prolonged periods of drought. Externally, declining terms of trade and increasing levels of competition are problematic.

This thesis seeks to determine whether or not the Australian sugar industry's restructuring exercises are sufficient to meet the challenges presented by an increasingly globalised economy and fiercer international competition. In so doing it considers the role of the state and transnational capital. It also reflects upon the sustainability of the industry.

In order to understand what is happening within the Australian sugar industry, the thesis engages the explanatory power of agricultural restructuring and globalization theory. Theoretically the thesis is informed but not determined by the globalization perspective developed by Le Heron (1993). It also incorporates insights derived from McMichael, Wiseman, and Lawrence. The thesis employs methodology derived from the combination of two different but complementary procedures, namely, commodity systems analysis as proposed and refined by Friedland (1984, 2001), and the commodity chain approach as described by Hopkins and Wallerstein (1986).

The thesis concludes that while the Australian industry appears to be deregulating and restructuring according to global logic, if fully enacted according to the trajectory implied by the deregulatory process, some portions of the Australian industry may be rendered unsustainable.

Abstract:

Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) production is experiencing a significant increase in worldwide production since regaining popularity in many countries since the 1990's. Currently, production in Australia is very limited, and no major grain or fibre processing facilities yet exist, owing to the lack of suitable low THC (A9-tetrahydrocannibinol) varieties. Hemp production in subtropical regions of Australia is particularly limited as short day lengths (photoperiods) result in early plant maturity, and thus, poor yielding crops. The aim of this research is to determine the viability of a new variety of hemp, bred specifically for subtropical production whilst determining the effects of day length and plant density on yield and flowering time. Trials were conducted in Bundaberg, QLD in 2010-2012 in both field and controlled environment (plastic house) settings. Plant densities of 100, 200, 300 and 400 plants m-2 were compared for fibre production and densities of 50, 80, 100 and 150 plants m2 were compared for grain production to assist in the establishment of appropriate commercial sowing rates. Harvested fibre yields were greatest at 300 plants m2 whereas grain yields were greatest at 150 plants m2, with the potential of even higher yields at densities greater than 150 plants m2. Photoperiod experiments were conducted in a controlled plastic house evaluating plant responses to varying photoperiods. Treatments comparing ambient day length, 13 hour 40 minute fixed photoperiod and 14 hour 40 minute fixed photoperiod determined that a 13 hour 40 minute photoperiod did not significantly prolong vegetative growth compared to natural day lengths in the hemp variety BundyGem but at 14 hours 40 minutes maturity times were significantly delayed, thereby contributing to greater plant height and fibre yield. Previous research also suggests that a critical photoperiod of between 14 and 16 hours is required before flowering is delayed in hemp. This theory was supported by a field experiment whereby successive plantings of BundyGem throughout the spring/summer period of 2011/2012, flowered at the same age despite subtle changes in day length for the growing period (never exceeding 13 hours 40 minutes). This research confirms that subtropical fibre hemp is not yet suitable for subtropical production in Australia with existing varieties due to the limitation of photoperiod on yield. Grain production may still be viable despite early plant maturity with yields comparable with those produced in Europe and Canada.
