[edit] ATSIC Abolished?

I don't think the information in this article is correct. How could ATSIC have been abolished last year when the legislation to abolish it was only passed today? Xtra 11:37, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I think the answer to that question is at this website. The article should be re-written. Effectively what happened I think is that the Board was abolished together with many of ts responsibilities, and the Regional Councils continued to exist, largely in an advisory capacity, and then legislation was passed in 2005 to abolish those as well. -- Adz 05:54, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Who was the Deputy Chair?

According to this website the name of the Deputy Chair of ATSIC was Lionel Quartermaine, not lance. - Was he perhaps known as Lance to his friends, or vice versa? There is a link to Lionel Quartermaine from the Cairns, Queensland article. It might be worth making sure that these point to the same place, and then perhaps writing an article about both Geoff Clarke and Lionel/Lance Quartermaine. -- Adz 05:49, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] ATSIC website

The website for ATSIC has been shut down. It is supposed to be archived at Pandora, however it does not appear to be working as of the current date due to the 'default.html' page not being present at the time of archival?. There is still some material in the google cache, I hope the way back machine has stored more of it. --CatS 01:02, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

I had heard that the National Library was undertaking a website archiving task. I know that this was to include certain political websites and may have included others. It may be worth checking out. -- Adz|talk 09:02, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
