Extractions: - Water Corporation Today: Sunday, 14 November 2010 1. Use accredited green power: one of the best ways to reduce your carbon emissions is to sign up to electricity from renewable energy sources. 2. Insulate your home: it can save you hundreds of dollars each year on your energy bills and reduce your carbon emissions. 3. Use less hot water: water heating uses about a third of all the energy in the home. 4. Try driving less: you save 1.5kg of carbon dioxide for every 5km you don't drive. 5. Keep your car running well: make sure you keep your car in good working order. When buying a new car try to make your choice based on fuel consumption as much as style or brand. 6. Don't rely on standby: standby power from appliances averages 92 Watts per household or 800kWh per year. This can cost you around $105 annually. 7. Waste not, emit not: every tonne of paper recycled saves almost 13 trees, 2.5 barrels of oil, 4100kWh of electricity, 4 cubic metres of landfill and 31,780 litres of water.

http://www.kidcyber.com.au/topics/austgovt.htm

Extractions: Queen Elizabeth 2 of England is also Queen of Australia. She is the Head of State of Australia. Australians do not vote for her, because a queen or king gets that position from the king or queen before them, usually their parents or other relative. The Queen lives in England, not Australia. The Governor-General does the job for her when she is not here. The Head of State does not run the country, but has other jobs to do, such as sign a law to make it official, signing the paper that begins an election and being commander in chief of the army, navy and air force. This is the Queen with Sir William Deane, who was Governor-General of Australia when the photo was taken. He was Governor-General from 1996 to 2001. In Australia, an elected government runs the country. Every four years, Australians who are over 18 years old must vote in an election. They help choose the people who will be in Parliament. People who are elected go to Parliament in Canberra. Parliament House is a huge building where parliament meets several times a year to discuss and make laws for the country. A law is a rule that affects how we live. In the Australian Parliament there are 2 sections, called Houses. They are the House of Representatives and The Senate.

http://library.thinkquest.org/28994/gov.html

Extractions: Australian Government Australia is basically six states and two territories. The colony came together to form the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. The federal government controls the national economy and Reserve Bank, customs and excise taxes, immigration, defense, foreign policy, and the post office. The state governments deal with health, education, housing, transport and justice. The Federal Parliament in the lower house is the House of Representatives made up of 147 members divided among the states. The upper house is the Senate. Queensland does not have an upper house. It was stopped in 1922. It is run by a prime minister, the state governments are led by a premier, and the Northern Territory by a chief minister. The Federal Parliament is based in Canberra which is the capital. It is its own separate area of land called Australia Capital Territory (ACT). It is completely surrounded by New South Wales. The two main political groups in the Federal Parliament are the Australian Labor Party (ALP), and the coalition between the National and Liberal Parties. The next largest party is the Australian Democrats. Back to Modern History Back to History of the Aborigines Back to Home page

Registered User Services Weather forecasts and warnings have to compress a lot of information into standardised, brief messages. Forecast and warning weather terms represent the more detailed definitions provided here. Forecasts and warnings have to accommodate variations across the time range, and often large areas, that they apply to. It is important to understand the use of duration and distribution terms, especially for elements like showers and thunderstorms, when considering the impact for a specific location or time. Usually begin and end suddenly. Relatively short-lived, but may last half an hour. Fall from cumulus clouds, often separated by blue sky. Showers may fall in patches rather than across the whole forecast area. Range in intensity from light to very heavy.
