  • The Hon. Linda Dessau AC Government House Melbourne Victoria 3004 Australia
    GOVERNOR OF VICTORIA A MESSAGE FROM HER EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR OF VICTORIA THE HON LINDA DESSAU AC The start to 2020 has certainly been a difficultone, with the bushfiresthat caused so much destruction in parts of our State, and now COVID-19. Our thoughts are with those in areas still grappling with rebuilding and recovery from the fires. And, indeed, with everyone, as we all now try to cope with this health challenge and its far-reachingeffects. We know that in recent months, as in the past, Victorians have demonstrated their resilience and their generosity in response to the bushfirecrisis. Now, more than ever, we need to pull together, to follow the advice and rules set by the experts, to be calm and clear-headed and to be mindful of each other's safety and needs. As our opportunities for workplace and social contact diminish, each one of us will feel the effectsin different ways. To greater or lesser extents, we might all feel some sense of dislocation. I encourage you to check on family, neighbours, the elderly, workmates and anyone who might be alone or doing it tough. Physical distance need not mean social isolation. Let's keep working on creative ways to keep in touch with each other. My husband, Tony, joins me in these thoughts and in particular in expressing our gratitude to the many Victorians working on the frontline - not only our medical and emergency workers but all those working to care for the vulnerable, to look after our children, to keep essential services running and to respond to this unfolding situation.

  • Melbourne Club Members and Daughters Dinner
    MELBOURNE CLUB MEMBERS AND DAUGHTERS DINNER Friday 2nd August 2019 Mr Richard Balderstone, Vice President, Melbourne Club Members Daughters, Grand Daughters, God Daughters, Step-Daughters, Daughters-in-Law and Nieces First, I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land upon which we are gathering and pay my respects to their Elders past and present. A few months ago, I asked a friend, a member of this Club, if he could tell me a little about the history of the Club, as I was preparing to say a few words for this evening’s dinner. I did not understand just how much he would warm to the task, until he delivered to my door, your Club History. That is, what I thought was your Club History. As I blanched under the weight of it, I realised that this was not your Club History as such – at least, not your full Club History. It dealt only with the period 1838 to 1918! Although I could barely lift it, it still had 101 years left to go, just to reach current times! So, please don’t test me on its finer details: I may not have digested every word of it. I did read enough though, to be struck by the Club’s long history, and how it runs parallel with so much of what has occurred across that time in our State. 1 That makes me observe that, similarly, the history of my role runs alongside the last 180 years of what has happened right here and across what later became known as Victoria.

  • The Honourable Linda Dessau AM, Governor of Victoria to Deliver Lecture on Sport and the Arts at State Library Victoria
    20 January 2016 The Honourable Linda Dessau AM, Governor of Victoria to deliver lecture on sport and the arts at State Library Victoria The Honourable Linda Dessau AM, Governor of Victoria will deliver this year’s first Big Ideas under the dome lecture – “Sport and the arts: From Ablett (Jnr) to Caravaggio” - at State Library Victoria on Wednesday 17 February. “It’s a paradox that when we live in a State that loves both sport and the arts, so many people seem to show discomfort in saying that they love them both. There is frequently an abyss of misunderstanding between two distinct camps: those who are devoted to sport, and those who love the arts. The real argument should be about why sport really matters and why the arts really matter and why both really matter” The Hon. Linda Dessau AM Governor of Victoria Governor Dessau is Victoria’s 29th Governor and the first female in the role. Her Excellency was previously a Judge of the Family Court of Australia and immediately before her appointment as Governor, she was President of the Melbourne Festival, Chair of the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust Victorian Regional Committee and a national Board member of the Trust, a Commissioner of the Australian Football League, a Trustee of the National Gallery of Victoria, a Board member and former Chair of AFL Sportsready and Artsready, a Board member of the Unicorn Foundation, and a Patron of Sports Connect. Big Ideas under the dome is a thought-provoking lecture series that features great minds in the arts, culture, social justice, science and leadership as they discuss, debate and reflect on the big ideas and issues of our time.
