The School established a Recognition Committee following the Royal Commission’s public hearings, which met three times in 2016. The School implemented the major recommendation of the Recognition Committee by appointing a Survivor Liaison Coordinator, Renee Handsaker, to provide outreach and support to survivors of child sexual abuse at the School. Ms Handsaker has performed a vital role assisting survivors in a confidential and independent way. Her role is complimentary to, but separate of, the independent counsellor provided by the School to offer counselling and advice.

But alpaca has, of course, been around for ages – it’s just that its superlative qualities have not beenA fully appreciated until this season. The springy, ultra-soft fibres from the underbellies and necks of a species of camelid living in the Andes make for some very special fabrics. When woven, alpaca takes on various textures, from soft and voluminous to coarse and cropped. And as lightweight fabrications and distinctive textures become defining characteristics of contemporary men’s style, it’s not surprising that alpaca is now being shepherded into a lead role. Brunello Cucinelli, who built his empire on cashmere, has also put alpaca to work beautifully in his signature unstructured tailored outerwear, such as a glen-check short coat (£3,760) and roomy one-and-a-half breasted camel- (£1,390) and bomber jackets (£1,060, colour coat (£3,890).

  • Submission DR70
    Australian Productivity Commission Inquiry into Migration – Submission Alex Finch: As GMO’s Jeremy Grantham wrote in his 2Q 2015 Quarterly Letter: “The central point that emerges from our research is that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while mass-based interest groups and average citizens have little or no independent influence” – this is the killer conclusion of a paper last fall by Gilens and Page – and “when the elite detest an issue, it is like passing a death sentence: about 1% of these bills pass!”. It’s no different in Australia, if the elite want high net overseas migration, who are we, average citizens, to protest! Take care, average citizen. Australia’s “Song and Dance Economics: Keep Smiling!” Not unlike China, we find ourselves today near the end of an epic 20-year bull market in housing thanks to high Net Overseas Migration NOM (the demand side of housing, debt and other services). After going 24 years without a recession, and our net foreign liabilities now at a record high level of over 60% of GDP, the RBA has put us at serious risk of a liquidity crunch and deep recession (now that our Terms of Trade is collapsing). Instead of slowing growth by lowering NOM to counter a temporary 1-in-100 spike in our Terms of Trade and keeping our dollar low, the RBA acted like the spike was permanent and increased NOM accordingly, adding a staggering 2.136 million net overseas migrants in just 10 years and pushing the value of the dollar much to high.

A THESIS SUBMITTED AS PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Queensland Department of History University of Queensland Br i s b a n e . December, 197A To My Mottvlk and Vathun and to St&tin. M. Xav2,ntuJ> 0 ' Vonogkue [teacher, i^tznd, and ^zllow-hlktonian) ABSTRACT OF THESIS Title: "James Quinn, First Catholic Bishop of Brisbane". Y.M. (Anne) McLay. Now - as in his lifetime - Bishop James Quinn is a controversial, and to many an unattractive, though highly significant figure of the foundation years of the Catholic Church in Queensland. My interest was aroused in discovering his true personality through my work in the history of Catholic education in this State, especially that of Mother Vincent Whitty and the first Sisters of Mercy. After several years of research I am still ambivalent towards him. I feel, however, this ambivalence is due to the paradoxes inherent in his personality rather than to any deficiency in my research. I have tried to show in this thesis the complexity of his character that these paradoxes caused. Bishop Quinn died in 1881, but the foundations of his work in Queensland were laid by 1875. To appreciate the shape of the Church that soared grandly from these foundations, to understand the conflict and the turmoil that surrounded the man and his creation, the bishop must be first seen in his original environment, Ireland and Rome.

  • Doctor Stephen John Joseph Burke
    A PROJECT OF THE LOCAL HISTORY SECTION GYMPIE REGIONAL LIBRARIES Researched and written by Linda Atkinson for Gympie Regional Libraries between 2004 and 2016 Linda is a volunteer at the Gympie Regional Library and the Gympie Regional Gallery. She writes local history for both organisations. In 2013, Linda wrote a short history of Hugo Du Rietz which is available at the Gallery and the Library. She recently completed a historical biography of Edward Bytheway. Both men made significant contributions to the development of Gympie between 1867 and 1908. Very little is known of these prominent ‘fathers’ of Gympie and certainly next to nothing has been written about them since they died. Linda retired from a high level senior executive career in Canberra in 2004. Since that time, she has had a range of volunteer positions in New South Wales, and from 2012, in Gympie. From 2012, Linda’s volunteer work has included and continues: Teacher Aide at the Gympie State High School working with intellectually disabled and autistic children, and more recently working with students in years 7, 8, 9 and 11 in literacy and English communications. Coordinator and Convener for the five annual Gympie Workshops for Cancer Patients as part of the national and international Look Good Feel Better Program. Chief Researcher, Archivist and Manager for the Troizen Archaeological Project, Greece (the project is ongoing). In June 2013, she produced the first information booklet for the Project which was presented to the Greek Prime Minister and other Greek Ministers of the Government and Senior Ephorate Officials later that month.
