Area of Study Four - Attitudes to the Environment 1972 - 1983
You are to demonstrate key knowledge of differing attitudes to Australia's environment comparing the flooding of Lake Pedder (1972) to the Franklin Dam decision (1983):
You are required to present a range of varying or competing attitudes to the environment from two different time periods (Lake Pedder and the Franklin Dam). These different attitudes should come from politicians, people, papers and protesters (the Four Ps) and you can demonstrate their attitudes through quotes, polls, photographs and posters.
SAC and Section D of the Exam
- The SAC is relatively straightforward in that it requires a practiced response on the varying attitudes from the two different time periods and an analysis of a document in the context of the attitude that it is expressing.
- The SAC is broken down into the THREE parts: (a) Document/Representation analysis; (b) Discussion of the varying attitudes at the time of the representation; (c) Discussion of the different attitudes from the other time period.
- Eg. If the above photograph was the representation your response would follow this structure:
Identification of the attitudes reflected in the representation. Use evidence from the representation to support your comments
The representation is of a public demonstration most likely organised by the Lake Pedder Action Committee (LPAC) campaigning for Lake Pedder, evidenced by the large banner Save Lake Pedder. Even though the Lake Pedder protesters represented a minority of Tasmanian and Australian society (demonstrated by the sparse numbers in the photograph) they were from a cross-range of ages as evidenced by the older gentleman in the foreground and the younger man further behind him.
Evaluation of the degree to which the representation reflects attitudes about the issue that you have studied, at that particular point in time
Here you would discuss: Those in favour of flooding Electric Eric, the HEC, the Tasmanian Trade and Labour Council, the Hobart Mercury, compared to those against like LPAC, ACF, UTG, BLF, the Whitlam government while also discussing the different attitudes of the Tasmanian public versus the Australian public. You would also mention how the environment was not considered an important or vital issue in the Australian consciousness at the time despite Lake Pedder being a national recognised issue.
Analysis of changing attitudes in relation to this issue. To support your comments, use evidence from the other point in time that you have studied.
Here you would discuss: The changes in the environmental movement and the emergence of the environment as a critical issue in federal politics, due largely to the campaigning efforts of the TWS and the ACF, the willingness of the Hawke government to intervene, the use of more militant tactics in the blockade and the support of mainland newspapers like The Age and the Canberra Times compare to the belligerence of Premier Gray, the HEC, the Tasmanian Trade and Labour Council, the Hobart Mercury, HEAT, OTD.
You are to demonstrate key knowledge of differing attitudes to Australia's environment comparing the flooding of Lake Pedder (1972) to the Franklin Dam decision (1983):
- A range of attitudes at each point in time;
- The connections between the two significant points in time;
- The degree of change in attitudes between the two significant points and the reasons for any change.
