- W71294645 abstract "The Atherton Tablelands, west of Cairns in Far North Queensland, comprise some of therichest agricultural lands in Australia. The area was settled from the 1880s, following thediscovery of gold and other minerals on the Palmer River, the Hodgkinson and theHerberton fields. Situated as it is on the economic and geographic periphery of Australia,government sponsored agriculture on the Tablelands was seen not so much as a foodproducing venture, as a means of closer settlement and strategic defence in accord withthe White Australia Policy.Maize, dairy, and tobacco industries were set up by opening Crown Land for selectionunder conditions which inevitably caused destruction of thousands of acres of valuablerainforest, with consequent land degradation, erosion, and invasions of weeds.Subsequently, production became less than optimal, and without assured markets,transport systems and access to communications, the farmers struggled with subsistenceconditions.In order to keep unviable industries alive, successive Queensland and Commonwealthgovernments intervened with a plethora of schemes which had the effect of subjectingfarm families to years of poverty and despair. In the process, the industries becamesubject to ever-increasing regulation which stifled enterprise, and led to over-production ofcommodities for the available market. All of the industries were supported to some degreeby mechanisms ranging from statutory marketing to subsidies, bounties, direct grants andtariff protection.When Australian governments moved to realign the economy of the nation according toneo-liberal principles, all of the support mechanisms which had allowed the industries tostay alive were withdrawn over a period of thirty years. The result has been predictable.Tobacco growing in the area has ceased, the dairy industry has declined to the pointwhere it is unlikely to exist for much beyond 2010, and the maize industry is surviving as aprovider of stock feed to the local market. This study traces the establishment, development, and rationalization of each industry,and records the effects of these processes on the people, the environment, the widercommunity, and the politics of the area. In terms of regional decline, it is a microcosm casestudy of the effects of government intervention, both in the process of regulation andderegulation. The lessons to be drawn from the study point to profound implications for theproduction of food within a sustainable environment in Australia." @default.
