The Holocene History of the Vegetation and the Environment of Jibbon Swamp, Royal National Park, New South Wales

Jibbon Swamp, in the north eastern part of Royal National Park, yielded a sedimentary history of 8,000 years. The present vegetation was mapped and the modern pollen deposition studied in order to assist interpretation. The palynology infers little change in the vegetation, other than a shifting mosaic of sclerophyllous communities similar to those seen in the area today.The nature of the accumulating sediments and their algal and fungal spore content can be interpreted to reflect the hydrological history of the swamp. An initial establishment period of 8,000 to 5,500 year ago was followed by a permanent pool of water too deep for the sedgeland swamp vegetation, from 5,500 to 2,400 years ago and then a vegetated swamp that dried out periodically, from 2,400 years ago to present, as it does today. Changes in the sediments and algae/fungi record suggest a wetter early Holocene and a drier mid-late Holocene climate, with an intensification of the dry periods about 2,500 years ago. This pattern of change seems to reflect regional climatic change. There is very little change in the less sensitive sclerophyllous vegetation. The likely impact of rising Holocene sea levels on this near-coastal environment is discussed

Luck and democracy : the role of the luck-choice principle in democratic egalitarianism

Egalitarianism is the view that inequalities in society should be minimised. The motivation for pursuing an equal distribution is captured by a grounding principle, while the terms and conditions of such a distribution are captured by a substantive principle. According to Democratic Egalitarianism (DE), persons in society should have effective access to necessary functionings, or beings and doings, required over the course of a life. The grounding principle of this view is Democratic Reciprocity (DR), the notion that persons must raise one another to positions of equality, because each is deserving of equal concern. What this view lacks is a substantive principle which adequately specifies which inequalities fall under the purview of justice. DE’s substantive requirement is that persons be politically responsible, or contributions to the joint division of labour that is society. The view, as it stands, does not conceive of that responsibility as inclusive of a cut between luck and choice. I argue that failing to consider how the unchosen circumstances of one’s life may impact one’s capacity for contribution would generate, rather than minimise, inequalities. Accordingly, I attempt to make the case for an inclusion of the luck-choice principle in DE’s conception of political responsibility.Bachelor of Art
