Extractions: HSI condemns zoo plans to import Asian elephants As work on the new Asian exhibit at Sydneys Taronga Zoo heads towards completion, Humane Society International (HSI) has joined forces with other international and national welfare and conservation groups to oppose plans by Taronga to replace the two Asian elephants already living at the zoo by importing four more highly endangered Asian Elephants from Thailand Taronga plans to import a total of nine Asian elephants in conjunction with Melbourne and Auckland Zoos. Australias domestic legislation on importation of live animals requires that the person receiving the animal is suitably equipped to manage, confine and care for the animal, including meeting the behavioural and biological needs of the animal (EPBC Regulations 2000 Reg 9A.05 Welfare of live specimens ). Under the law the importation requires the approval of the Federal Environment Minister, Dr David Kemp. HSI will advise the Minister to reject the proposal on animal welfare and conservation grounds. Behavioural and biological needs not be met HSI does not believe Australian zoos meet the behavioural and biological needs of an elephant. Asian elephants in the wild have a complex social structure and live in family groups which roam over vast areas. Should the importations be approved, we believe the critically endangered animals would be forced to exist in an environment that is a far cry from what is required to satisfy their needs

Australian Open Celebrates Its 100th Year the Australasian Championships soon after australian and new zealand officialsformed the The tournament was twice played in new zealand in 1906, http://in.rediff.com/sports/2005/jan/11aus.htm
Extractions: It began at a humble suburban cricket ground, has been played twice in New Zealand and was even once held in a zoo. The Australian Open turns 100 this year, a remarkable feat for a tournament that has reinvented itself several times as it struggled to cement its place as the fourth Grand Slam of tennis. Now billed as "The Grand Slam of Asia/Pacific", the tournament began in 1905 as the Australasian Championships soon after Australian and New Zealand officials formed the Australasian Lawn Tennis Association. Seventeen men women did not compete until 1922 contested the inaugural tournament at the Warehouseman's Cricket Ground at Albert Park in Melbourne. The Melbourne Cricket Club's Rodney Heath defeated Adelaide doctor Arthur Curtis 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 in the final in front of around 5,000 spectators. A century later, the Open is Australia's biggest annual sports event, attracting some 500,000 fans for two weeks each year to its state-of-the-art Melbourne Park home. While the tournament celebrates its centenary year, the January 17-30 event will actually mark the 93rd time it has been staged. The two world wars intervened from 1916-18 and 1941-45.
Extractions: The NZ branch enjoyed its involvement in the RACP Joint Annual Scientific Meeting with Special Societies in Auckland at the beginning of November. ANZSPM took part as an official Special Society for the first time. Other societies represented were The Paediatric Society, The Internal Medicine Society of Australia and NZ and The NZ Geriatric Society. The theme was "Mind the Gaps: Transitions in Healthcare". Transitions from child to adult, living to dying and hospital to community were amongst those considered in various formats. We were delighted that the first plenary session of the conference was devoted to palliative care. Rod MacLeod from Wellington chaired the session. Speakers were Michael Ashby (Monash) " Palliative care and mainstream healthcare: minding the gap and finding the balance"; Sara Fleming (Paediatric Palliative Care Nurse Consultant, Adelaide) "Exploring the 'leap' from acute to palliative, and institution to community"; John Collins (Paediatric Pain and Palliative Care, Sydney), "Fear as a barrier to paediatric palliative care" and Michael McCabe (Director, NZ Catholic Bioethics Centre, Wellington), "Shaping the culture of care at the end of life". Apart from the plenary sessions each day, there were several breakfast sessions to choose from, and a variety of workshops later in the day. ANZSPM had a well-attended workshop on non-cancer palliative care and multiprofessional teamworking, considering Motor Neurone Disease and Cystic Fibrosis as examples. Cathy Miller led another well-attended workshop on "Ethics through the Ages", discussing ethical issues thrown up by selected cases from childhood to old age. Michael Ashby and Anne OCallaghan led the "Pre-dinner palliative care reflections". A large audience gradually gathered (near the bar) to share in this contemplative session of poetry and prose, evoking a range of emotions and laughter.
