Tasmanian House of Assembly

The House of Assembly, or lower house, is one of the two chambers of the parliament of Tasmania in Australia. The other is the Legislative Council. It sits in Parliament House in the state capital, Hobart. The Assembly has 25 members, five members each coming from one of the five electorates. These are commonly known as seats. These are intended to represent approximately the same population in each electorate. Voting is by a form of proportional representation using the single-transferable vote (STV), known as the Hare-Clark system. The number of seats was reduced from 35 (seven members from each of five electorates) for the 1998 state election. This was criticised by the minor parties, the Greens in particular, as reducing the minor parties representation in parliament. Most legislation is initiated in the House of Assembly. The party or coalition with the most seats in the lower house is invited by the Governor to form government. The leader of that party subsequently becomes Premier of Tasmania, and their senior colleagues become ministers responsible for various portfolios. As Australian political parties traditionally vote along party lines, most legislation introduced by the governing party will pass through the House of Assembly.

Current distribution of seats

Hobart

:For other places and things named Hobart, see Hobart (disambiguation). Hobart is the state capital and most populous city of the Australian island state of Tasmania. Founded in 1804 as penal colony, it is Australia's second oldest and twelfth largest city, with a metropolitan population of just over 200,000. The city is the financial and administrative heart of Tasmania, and also serves as the home port for both Australian and French Antarctic operations.

History

The first settlement was started in 1803 as a penal colony at Risdon Cove on the eastern shores of the Derwent River, amid British concerns over the presence of French explorers. In 1804 it was moved to a better location at the present site of Hobart at Sullivan's Cove. The area's original inhabitants were members of the semi-nomadic Mouheneer tribe. Genocide by the Europeans and the effects of diseases brought by the settlers killed off the aboriginal population, which was rapidly replaced by free settlers and the convict population. Charles Darwin visited Hobart Town in February, 1836 as part of the Beagle expedition. He writes of Hobart and the Derwent estuary in his Voyage of the Beagle :...The lower parts of the hills which skirt the bay are cleared; and the bright yellow fields of corn, and dark green ones of potatoes, appear very luxuriant... I was chiefly struck with the comparative fewness of the large houses, either built or building. Hobart Town, from the census of 1835, contained 13,826 inhabitants, and the whole of Tasmania 36,505. But since the Derwent River was one of Australia's finest deepwater ports and was the centre of the Southern Ocean whaling and seal trade, it rapidly grew into a major port, with allied industries such as ship-building. Hobart Town became a city in 1842, and was renamed Hobart in 1875.

Geography

Beagle expedition Hobart is located on the estuary of the Derwent River in the state's south-east. The central business district is located on the western shore, adjacent to Sullivan's Cove, with the inner suburbs spread out along the shores of the Derwent and climbing up the hills at the foot of Mount Wellington (1270 metres/4233 feet high). The Port of Hobart occupies the whole of the original Sullivan's Cove. The Greater Hobart Metropolitan area consists of three self-governing cities, Hobart, Glenorchy and Clarence, plus the urbanised areas of the Municipalities of Kingborough and Brighton. The suburban areas cover a significant amount of both the western and eastern sides of the river. Apart from the city, the main commercial centres are Glenorchy (the northern suburbs) and Rosny (the eastern shore). The satellite town Kingston, south of the city, is fast becoming an outlying suburb of Hobart. Other surrounding towns such as Sorell, Margate, Brighton and New Norfolk are popular residential areas for commuters. See also List of Hobart suburbs

Climate

Hobart has a mild, temperate, maritime climate with four distinct seasons. Being in the southern hemisphere, summer is December to February. Some of its climatic averages:
- Mean summer maximum temperature — 21.1°C (70°F)
- Mean summer minimum temperature — 11.9°C (53°F)
- Mean winter maximum temperature — 12.5°C (54.5°F)
- Mean winter minimum temperature — 5.4°C (41.5°F)
- Mean annual rainfall — 628mm (25 inches)
- Wettest month on average — October, 63mm (2.5 inches)
- Driest month on average — February, 40mm (1.8 inches)

Demographics

temperature The greater Hobart area has a population of around 245,000 (census 2005) people. The City of Hobart local government area has a population of 47,319 (census 2001).

Government

See also: List of Mayors and Lord Mayors of Hobart The greater Hobart area today is covered by five local government areas - the City of Hobart, City of Glenorchy and City of Clarence, as well as a small part of Kingborough and Brighton municipalities. The City of Hobart is governed by twelve aldermen, headed by the Lord Mayor of Hobart Rob Valentine. Councillors are elected biennially.

Economy and tourism

This picturesque little city is a busy seaport, notably serving as the home port for Australia's (and France's) Antarctic activities. It supports several other industries, including a high-speed catamaran factory and a zinc smelter, as well as a vibrant tourist industry. Visitors come to the city to explore its historic inner suburbs, to visit the weekly craft market in Salamanca Place, as well as to use the town as a base from which to explore the rest of Tasmania. Other local attractions include the Australian Cadbury chocolate factory, and for a day trip places like Port Arthur, and the tesellated pavement, the Huon Valley, the Tahune Forest Air Walk, Cockle Creek (the southernmost point reachable by car) and the walk to South Cape Bay Beach which also forms part of a 6 day walk to South Western Tasmania. The Cascade Brewery is located in South Hobart, near the natural spring waters of Mount Wellington. The Hobart surrounding area has many vineyards, including Moorilla Estate at Berriedale. Nationally known bootmaker Blundstones is based in Moonah in the northern suburbs. National lottery company Tattersalls was founded by George Adams in Hobart but is now based in Melbourne. The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens is a popular recreation area a short distance from the City centre. It is the second-oldest Botanic Gardens in Australia and holds extensive significant plant collections as well as built heritage.

Events

Australia Hobart is internationally famous among the yachting fraternity as the finish of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race which starts in Sydney on Boxing Day (the day after Christmas Day). The arrival of the yachts is celebrated as part of the Hobart Summer Festival, a food and wine festival beginning just after Christmas and ending in mid January. The Taste of Tasmania is a major part of the festival, where locals and visitors can taste fine local and international food and wine. Hobart is the finish point of the Targa Tasmania rally car event held annually in April since 1991. The annual Tulip Festival at the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens is a popular Spring celebration in the City.

Entertainment

Australia's first legal casino was the 17-storey Wrest Point Hotel Casino in Sandy Bay, opened in 1973. It is still the tallest building in the city, despite being several kilometres out of the CBD, and a nationally recognised icon. Popular restaurant strips include Elizabeth Street, in North Hobart and Salamanca Place near the waterfront. These include a large number of ethnic restaurants including Chinese, Thai, Greek, Italian, Indian and Mexican. Several pubs and nightclubs can be found concentrated in the city and waterfront area. Hobart is home to Australia's oldest theatre, the Theatre Royal. It also has three Village Cinema complexes, one in the city, and two relatively new centres in Glenorchy and Rosny. Hobart is home to the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, which is resident at the Federation Concert Hall on the City's waterfront. It offers a year-round program of concerts.

Media

Hobart's major newspaper is The Mercury, which was founded by John Davies in 1854 and has been continually published ever since. The paper is currently owned and operated by Rupert Murdoch's News Limited. Television broadcasts in the city were restricted to two channels until 1986 - TVT-6 and the ABC. In 1986, multicultural broadcaster SBS began transmission to the city. In 1994 market aggregation allowed Launceston based station TNT-9 (now Southern Cross Tasmania) to broadcast to Hobart as well. TVT-6 (since known as TasTV, now WIN Television) took on a Nine Network affiliation, with Southern Cross carrying both Seven and Ten programming. All stations commenced digital broadcasting during 2003, and in December 2003, a fifth station, Tasmanian Digital Television (TDT) began broadcasting. TDT is a joint venture between Southern Cross and WIN. In March 2005 ABC2 the second ABC channel came on-line as well. Commercial radio stations licensed to cover the Hobart market include HO FM, Sea FM (formerly Triple T) and Magic 107. Local community radio stations include christian radio station Ultra106five and national award winning youth station Edge Radio. There is also one shortwave broadcaster based in the area, Hobart Radio International. The ABC has all five of its radio networks broadcasting to Hobart, via 936 ABC, Radio National, Triple J, Newsradio and ABC Classic FM.

Sport

Due to Tasmania's heavily distributed population, most Hobart sporting teams in national competitions are statewide teams. These include the Tasmanian Tigers cricket team, which plays home games at Bellerive Oval on the eastern shore. Despite Australian rules football's huge popularity in the state, Tasmania does not have a team in the Australian Football League. They do have a team (the Tasmanian Devils) in the VFL (Victorian league), and a team in the national league is a popular topic among supporters as well as the state government (one of the potential sponsors of such a team). Some AFL teams play scheduled games at Aurora Stadium (at York Park in Launceston). Unfortunately Tasmania's small population and low sponsorship potential results in the state not being represented in national basketball, soccer and netball leagues.

Colleges and universities

Hobart is home to the main campus of the University of Tasmania, situated in Sandy Bay. On site accommodation colleges include Jane Franklin Hall, Christ College and St John Fisher College. Other campuses are in Lauceston and Burnie.

Transportation

Hobart's urban passenger tram services closed in the early 1960s and rail in 1980. A Trolleybus network consisting of six routes operated until 1968. Most public transport within the city is via an extensive network of public and private bus services. The main arterial routes within the urban area are the Brooker Highway to Glenorchy and the northern suburbs, the Tasman Bridge and Bowen Bridge across the river to Rosny and the Eastern Shore, and the Southern Outlet Road south to Kingston and the Channel. Leaving the city, motorists can travel the Lyell Highway to the west coast; Midlands Highway to Launceston and the north; Tasman Highway to the east coast, or the Huon Highway to the far south. Hobart is serviced by Hobart International Airport, and the smaller Cambridge Aerodrome (which mainly serves small charter airlines offering local tourist flights).

Australian Liberal Party

Two Australian political parties sometimes have their name incorrectly rendered as the Australian Liberal Party.
- Very infrequently, the Commonwealth Liberal Party (1909-1916)
- More commonly, the Liberal Party of Australia (1945-)

Tasmanian Greens

The Tasmanian Greens are a political party who developed from numerous environmental campaigns in Tasmania including the flooding of Lake Pedder and the building of the Franklin Dam. Although a member of the Australian Democrats, Norm Sanders was also a co-founder of the Tasmanian Wilderness Society and was closely affiliated with the Greens. In 1980 he became Australia's first elected "Green" member of parliament. In 1982 Sanders quit to run for the Senate at the height of the Franklin River campaign. Bob Brown who had also contested the previous election, was in jail at the time for obstructing workers at the Franklin River dam site. Following a countback on votes, Brown was released from prison and found himself as a member of parliament. In 1989, a total of 5 Greens - Christine Milne, Gerry Bates, Lance Armstrong, Di Hollister and Brown - were elected after a community backlash against a proposed paper pulp mill at Wesley Vale, near Devonport. The Greens held the balance of power in the government for three years, keeping Michael Field's minority Labor Party government in power. In 1996, the Greens again held the balance of power, this time with a Liberal government. After 7 years of minority governments, the Labor and Liberal parties passed a bill reducing the number of Lower House seats, thus greatly increasing the quota of votes needed under Tasmania's Hare Clark voting system. In 1998 a majority Labor government was voted in, along with a sole Green Member - Peg Putt - who had little chance of exercising any influence, but would offer Green-based bills into Parliament knowing they would in all likelihood be voted against by both Liberal and Labor parties. 2002 saw a major resurgence of their popularity, with the party reclaiming 4 seats, and outpolling the Liberal party in the Hobart based seat of Denison. The swing was primarily against the Liberal Party, while the Labor party continued in the majority. The 18.2% vote in 2002 was the highest vote recorded for a Green party at a state or national level anywhere in the world. The current Tasmanian Greens members of the Tasmanian House of Assembly are Peg Putt, Nick McKim, Tim Morris and Kim Booth. At the 2004 federal election, former Tasmanian Greens leader Christine Milne and WA's Rachel Siewert joined Bob Brown and NSW's Kerry Nettle in the Senate, doubling the Green representation. On 23 July 2005 the Greens celebrated 33.3 years of political activity and achievements, with a large party entitled "33-and-a-third - Now we're Long Playing!"

Deemphasis
In telecommunication, deemphasis is a system process designed to decrease, within a band of frequencies, the magnitude of some (usually higher) frequencies with respect to the magnitude of other (usually lower) frequencies in order to improve the overall signal-to-noise ratio by minimizing the adverse effects of such phenomena as attenuation differences or saturation of recording media in subsequent parts of the system. It is the mirror of preemphasis, and the whole system is called emphasis. The fre
