• Adelaide Festival of Ideas 2009 - Pushing The Limits
  People talk glibly as if pushing the limits is always a good thing. Often it is good of course, because by pushing the limits we reach new ideas, experiences, products and plans. Sometimes, however, the limits push back. For example, the Murray Darling Basin and world financial markets have been pushed too far and the consequences are serious. And in public policy, the limits of tolerance are always a matter of passionate debate.

• SA Police Historical Society
  South Australia was colonised in 1836. Unlike the other States, it was not a penal settlement and migrants were ‘free settlers’. It was hoped that by adopting this type of migrant, a respectable society would grow in South Australia and there would be no need for an organised Police Force. Shortly after colonisation some protection was afforded the colonists by the employment of a few retired artillery-men, special volunteer constables and a small group of marines from the H.M.S. ‘Buffalo’, which vessel had brought the Governor to the new land.
