# Reference Re Senate Reform

Reference Re Senate Reform was a reference question to the Supreme Court of Canada regarding the constitutional validity of proposals to change the Senate, such as term limits, consultative elections, and abolition. The ruling was announced April 2014, following arguments made in November 2013. The court decided that term limits and consultative elections could not be done by the Federal Government alone through Parliament, but also required the consent of seven provinces representing more than 50% of the population, in accordance with the lower of two thresholds for the constitutional amending formula. The court also ruled that Senate abolition would require the higher threshold for amendment: Parliamentary approval plus consent of all ten provinces.

# Old Town Hall, Torquay

The Old Town Hall is a former municipal building in Union Street, Torquay, Devon, England. The building, which was the headquarters of Torquay Borough Council until 1911, is a Grade II listed building.

## History

The new local board of health for Tormoham, as the area was then known, treated the commissioning of a town hall as a key priority after it was formed in 1850. The building was designed by a Mr Dixon in the Italianate style, built in limestone and was completed in June 1852.
The design featured a three-stage bell tower on the corner of Abbey Road and Union Street; there was a round headed window in the first stage, twin lancet windows in the second stage and, originally, a triple-lancet arrangement of bell louvres in the third stage, with a modillioned cornice and a shallow hipped roof above. On the Union Street elevation, the central section of three bays, which projected forward, featured a wide opening on the ground floor, a pedimented Venetian window with a balustrade on the first floor and a sash window with a cornice supported by brackets on the second floor. The outer bays featured round headed openings on the ground floor, pedimented sash windows with balustrades and cornices supported by brackets on the first floor and unpedimented sash windows with cornices supported by brackets on the second floor. At roof level, there was a modillioned pediment above the central section and a modillioned cornice above the outer bays. Internally, the upper floors were used for the civic rooms while the basement and the ground floor were used as a lock-up for petty criminals.
Following significant population growth, largely associated with the status of Torquay as a seaside resort, the area became a municipal borough with the town hall as its headquarters in 1892. A manual clock mechanism and a series of clock faces were added to the tower in the late 19th century; there is also a bell by Warner & Sons. However, in the early 20th century, with the increasing responsibilities of local authorities, civic leaders found the building too small for their needs, and the council relocated to the new town hall further to the northwest along Union Street in 1911.
The old town hall was subsequently used as office space until the mid-1950s when the first floor of the building was converted for use as a synagogue by the Torquay United Hebrew Congregation. The congregation dissolved and the synagogue closed in 2000. Meanwhile, the ground floor of the building had been re-purposed for use as ladies' and gentlemen's public toilets. In the 21st century, the first floor was converted for use as a bar, initially branded as Fat Catz and latterly branded as Bar Envy. However, after the bar closed, the building was sold at auction in December 2021.
# Moree Champion

The Moree Champion, previously published as the North West Champion, is a bi-weekly English language newspaper published in the Shire of Moree, New South Wales, Australia. The newspaper was first published in 1912. It is published each Tuesday and Thursday and is distributed throughout the north west region of New South Wales.

## History

The paper was first published in 1912 as the North West Champion. In 1968, the newspaper was the first provincial press to convert from letterpress printing to high resolution web offset printing. The newspaper's proprietor, Harry Sullivan, commemorated the change with a new title. On 21 March 1968, the Moree Champion, Vol. 1, No. 1, new series, was published as a sixty four page issue containing some sections in colour. In September 2024, Australian Community Media announced it will shutter the paper.

## Digitisation

The paper has been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program hosted by the National Library of Australia in cooperation with the State Library of New South Wales.

# Najiba Sbihi

Najiba Sbihi (born 1953) is a Moroccan mathematician and operations researcher, known for her contributions to graph theory and graph algorithms.

## Education and career

Sbihi earned a degree from the Faculty of Sciences of Mohammed V University in Rabat, Morocco in 1973. She continued her studies in France at Joseph Fourier University in Grenoble, first in computer science in which she earned a bachelor's degree in 1975. Continuing in operations research, she earned a diplôme d'études approfondies in 1976, a doctorat de troisième cycle in 1978 under the supervision of Michel Sakarovitch, and a doctorat d'état in 1987, supervised by Jean Fonlupt. Her doctoral study also included research in Canada with Jack Edmonds at the University of Waterloo and with Václav Chvátal at McGill University.
She worked with the Moroccan National Center for Scientific and Technical Research until, in 1992, becoming a professor of industrial engineering in the Mohammadia School of Engineering in Rabat. She headed the Department of Industrial Engineering from 1995 to 1997.

## Contributions

Sbihi's contributions to graph theory and graph algorithms include the discovery that the maximum independent set problem can be solved in polynomial time on claw-free graphs. With Chvátal, she proved a special case of the strong perfect graph theorem, for the graphs that have no bull graph as an induced subgraph. Their work in this area introduced a type of graph decomposition that was central to the eventual proof of the full strong perfect graph theorem. She and Chvátal also devised efficient algorithms for recognizing the claw-free perfect graphs, and later she and Bruce Reed showed how to recognize the Bull-free perfect graphs.
