Trevor Robinson contributed to the development of computing in Australia for more than 60 years in many different areas combining good
technical knowledge with an understanding of the needs of the computer customers in a rapidly evolving computer industry.
After three years of national conversations, discussions, and debates it is very clear that Australia (and the rest of the world) needs to rethink the regulatory model and structures for our electricity system. What we have is not fit-for-purpose for the Consumers' Grid. It is not clear that our current regulators can reinvent themselves within their bureaucratic mandates to deliver an efficient and optimal future.
Celebrating another great milestone in Australian computing history, today CIRRUS is installed for your viewing pleasure on Level 1 Ingkarni Wardli at Adelaide University. More of her accessories and signage to be displayed in the new year. On behalf of all Australians, our appreciation to the Adelaide University Librarian, Siân Woolcock, and the Library Special Collections team (Fiona Borthwick, Kate Moskwa, Kate Sinclair and Elizabeth Pascale) for their outstanding efforts in restoring and presenting CIRRUS.
