State electoral boundaries 2017 - Queensland

The 2017 boundaries were created as the result of State Redistribution that was completed in June 2017. State redistributions are conducted approximately every eight years as required by the Electoral Act 1992. A significant change resulting from this redistribution was an increase in the number of districts from 89 to 93.The redistribution was conducted by the Queensland Redistribution Commission as required by the Electoral Act 1992.The 2017 State Electoral Boundaries superseded the 2008 boundaries upon issue of the Writ on 29/10/2017 for the 2017/18 State General Election, and will remain the official electoral boundaries until the next state electoral redistribution.

Historical Migration Statistics

Historical Migration Statistics brings together migration statistics from 1945 through to the present day. 

In interpreting these statistics it should be noted that the classification of regions and country names has changed over time and that the way migration statistics are reported has also changed. From October 1945 to June 1959, migration statistics included permanent and long-term arrivals. Today, we have various components - the Migration Program, Humanitarian Program and Non-Program migration (mainly New Zealand citizens) reported as permanent additions to Australia's resident population.

ASGS Mesh Blocks (2021) by Modified Monash Model (2023)

Modified Monash Model (MMM)
 
The Modified Monash Model (MMM) is a classification system used to define the remoteness of Australian locations, ranging from MM 1 (major cities) to MM 7 (very remote areas). It combines population size and geographic remoteness to guide health workforce planning, especially in rural and remote communities. MMM is based on the Australian Statistical Geography Standard – Remoteness Areas (ASGS-RA) and is updated after each national Census conducted by the ABS.
 
Mesh Blocks
 
Mesh Blocks are the smallest geographic areas defined by the ABS and form the building blocks for the larger regions of the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS). They broadly identify land use such as residential, commercial, primary production and parks. Statistical Areas Level 1 (SA1s) are generally the smallest geographic unit used to release Census of Population and Housing data; however, for ASGS Edition 3, limited Census of Population and Housing data may also be available at the Mesh Block level.
As Mesh Blocks are very small they can be combined together to accurately approximate a large range of other geographies.

The effect of thyroxine on larval development of the crown-of-thorns stafish, Acanthaster planci

Three experiments were carried out with laboratory reared Acanthaster planci larvae. In all experiments larvae were transferred to culture dishes containing 80 ml of artificial seawater with no thyroxine added (controls) and thyroxine added at different concentrations. Larval density was less than 1 larva/ml. Unicellular algae were supplied to control and thyroxine cultures at the same density. All cultures were maintained in a 27°C constant temperature room. Larvae at various stages of development, but with most being at the mid-brachiolaria stage, were transferred to control culture dishes and culture dishes containing thyroxine at one of three concentrations (10^-6M, 10^-7M, 10^-8M). The stage of larval development was recorded after 26 hours.The effect of thyroxine on larval settlement was investigated by adding coral fragments with crustose coralline algae on their surfaces to control cultures and cultures exposed to two concentrations of thyroxine (10^-7M, 10^-8M) to induce settlement. The experiment was terminated 3 days later when all of the larvae in some of the culture dishes had settled. Coral fragments were removed so that all surfaces could be inspected microscopically and the number of settled (attached, metamorphosing) larvae and juvenile starfish counted. To more precisely quantify development acceleration by thyroxine, early-brachiolaria-stage larvae were transferred to control dishes and dishes containing one of three thyroxine concentrations (10^-7M, 10^-8M, 10^-9M). After 2 days larvae were measured and the development stage of each larva recorded.
 Thyroxine accelerates adult rudiment development in sea urchin larvae. This study was undertaken to examine whether larvae of the crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci, exhibit a similar response to thyroxine.

Parkes observations for project P630 semester 2011APRS_10

We propose to carry out the most ambitious and comprehensive all-sky survey for pulsars and transient sources to date. Using the 20cm multibeam and a new digital filterbank array this survey will create a petabyte digital record of the sky that can be data mined in the future and used to search for relativistic binary and millisecond pulsars, RRATs, and extragalactic radio bursts. The survey should discover 100s of new millisecond and normal pulsars and help define the lower limit to pulsar periods, test theories of relativistic gravity, find transients and provide pulsars for gravitational wave detection.

Parkes observations for project P1327 semester 2025APRS_10

The radio radiation neutron star includes objects with spin periods ranging from milliseconds to tens of seconds. In the past years, however, the discovery of ultra-long period radio transient sources has posed a new challenge to the classical theoretical framework of the neutron star magnetospheric dipole model. In Parkes' observations, we detected single pulses with similar durations to fast radio bursts (FRBs), notably containing quasi-periodic substructures similar to some FRBs, and similar phenomena may have similar physical mechanisms. By observing its single-pulse structures and polarization profiles, we hope to understand the origin of radio emission from magnetars and establish the potential association between Galactic neutron stars and FRBs. Hence, we strongly request to keep monitoring this source, aiming to detect more signal pulses and interesting multi-structure pulses from PSR J0901-4046 to provide insights into magnetars as possible progenitor origins of FRBs, strengthening the link between magnetars and FRBs.

Long-term project observations for project P456 semester 2025APRS_08

The Parkes Pulsar Timing Array (PPTA) project has three primary goals: (a) detection of gravitational waves from astronomical sources, (b) establishment of a pulsar timescale, and (c) improvement of our understanding of Solar-system dynamics. We are now in an exciting regime where a signal detected in our (and other data sets) has the form expected for a gravitational wave background. We, along with the international community, are now working hard to either confirm or deny this result, and to determine the astrophysical origin of this signal. With this proposal, we aim to maintain our pre-eminent position in the field. This is a continuing proposal for which observations of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) will continue to improve bounds on ultra-low-frequency gravitational waves until they are detected with confidence. Continued Parkes observations will remain valuable at least until the first stage of the SKA is able to improve on our sensitivity and observing cadence. Even after the gravitational wave background is detected, continued observations will resolve the background origin and individual sources will be identified; advancing the nascent field of gravitational wave astronomy.

Parkes observations for project P1362 semester 2025APRS_04

PSR J1757-1854 is the most relativistic galactic double neutron star system. Its eccentricity makes it an ideal playground for gravity experiments with pulsar timing. Via observations of its profile evolution, we can constraint its rate of geodetic precession. Currently, there are four possible geometric configurations that explain the time evolution of the polarisation swing. The geodetic precession and the Lense-Thirring effect will eventually manifest themselves in the post-Keplerian parameters within the next decade, allowing for two further tests of gravity. We propose to observe it with Parkes UWL every two months to track the profile evolution in this pulsar, and to derive times of arrival for an eventual detection of the affected Post-Keplerian parameters. These observations will be added to joint GBT and (past) MeerKAT observations, and they will be part of a long-term, global observational program of this pulsar.
