The prepay “poverty premium”
The affordability of prepaid electricity - in common use in jurisdictions where the proportion of Indigenous Australians living remotely is greatest and Indigenous poverty rates are uniquely high (above 40 %) - represents an exceptional yet under examined aspect of the nation's energy transition. Here we explore a previously overlooked element of the prepaid electricity system in Australia's remote and regional Northern Territory (NT): how it dis…
Reducing homelessness
To increase understanding of the intergovernmental dimension of addressing homelessness, the National Academy of Public Administration in 2022 formed a Working Group of Academy Fellows. In researching three case studies that have had a measure of success, local leaders reached across geographic and functional boundaries to forge agreement on shared goals and joint strategy. Five basic tasks at the local level contributed to effective initiatives:…
Disconnected during disruption
Energy policy measures aimed at mitigating the impacts of energy insecurity during the first years of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as moratoriums on disconnection from electricity, were widespread. In Australia, early pandemic safeguards against electricity disconnection were successful in temporarily protecting most people. However, their application was uneven. For remote-living Indigenous community residents, who are required by policy or elect…

‘It’s a good life, that solar’.Australia is a world leader in per-capita deployment of rooftop solar photovoltaics (PV) with more than three million households realising benefits including reduced energy bills and improved energy security. However, these benefits are unevenly distributed. Research shows First Nations residents of public housing in remote Australia using prepay metering experience frequent ‘self-disconnection’ from energy services…
Exploring the feasibility of electric vehicle travel for remote communities in Australia
Remote communities in Australia face unique mobility challenges that may be further complicated by the transition from Internal Combustion Engine vehicles to Electric Vehicles (EVs). EVs offer numerous advantages including lower maintenance requirements and independence from costly, dangerous and polluting petroleum imports. Yet the adoption of EVs in Australia has been slow by international standards, and what policiesdo exist tend to focus on i…
Utilizing learning communities to deliver an integrated undergraduate medical education curriculum
Utilizing LCs to deliver an integrated science curriculum is an underutilized strategy in UGME. Surveys on student satisfaction and academic performance are encouraging. Additional outcome measures are planned to continually evaluate this innovative multifaceted integration
Renewable energy development on the Indigenous Estate
Scaling up
This paper examines renewable energy developments on Aboriginal lands in North-West Western Australia at three scales. It first examines the literature developing in relation to large scale renewable energy projects and the Native Title Act (1993)Cwlth. It then looks to the history of small community scale standalone systems. Finally, it examines locally adapted approaches to benefit sharing in remote utility owned networks. In doing so this pape…
