  • COTA National Policy Forum Summary by Forum Facilitator Caroline Baum
    COTA National Policy Forum Summary By Forum Facilitator Caroline Baum This year’s National Policy Forum was nothing short of a call to arms to fight ageism in every sector of Australian life from the workforce to aged care. Furious agreement united speakers with a sense of urgency. A common refrain permeated discussions across all sectors: ‘It’s about changing the narrative’, ‘a different lens’, ‘reframing the argument.’ Throughout the day, language was identified as a frontline component of the issue, both as key culprit and as an essential tool in the campaign. Abhorrent terms such as ‘bed blocker’ and the so-called ‘they had a fair innings’ attitude were called out, as was the supposed perception of older Australians as an ‘economic burden’ and the cause of ‘inter-generational conflict’. Comparing the increased numbers of older people to a natural disaster, as in the phrase ‘silver tsunami’ was just one example of often unconscious but common negative imagery. There was an almost unanimous acknowledgement that, except in the case of heavy physical labour, the word ‘retired’ is inadequate to express the next phase of life that older Australians experience when they stop full-time paid employment. In a modern Australia the former 'retirement' phase in life is a potentially exciting transition to new roles and a different sense of purpose, whether as a volunteer, mentor or as a so- called seniorpreneur (a ghastly term but one that illustrates the significant number of start-ups by the over 55s). An upbeat phrase borrowed from US social researchers to express this next phase is ‘encore career.’ Kirsty Nowlan’s heartfelt keynote 'Ageism faced by older people and what drives it' introduced the Benevolent Society’s spearheading of a coalition of forces for change through the EveryAGE Counts campaign (including COTA Australia as a coalition partner).

  • Thesis August
    Chapter 1 Introduction Section 1.1: ‘A fit place for women’? Section 1.2: Problems of sex, gender and parliament Section 1.3: Gender and the Parliament, 1995-1999 Section 1.4: Expectations on female MPs Section 1.5: Outline of the thesis Section 1.1: ‘A fit place for women’? The Sydney Morning Herald of 27 August 1925 reported the first speech given by a female Member of Parliament (hereafter MP) in New South Wales. In the Legislative Assembly on the previous day, Millicent Preston-Stanley, Nationalist Party Member for the Eastern Suburbs, created history. According to the Herald: ‘Miss Stanley proceeded to illumine the House with a few little shafts of humour. “For many years”, she said, “I have in this House looked down upon honourable members from above. And I have wondered how so many old women have managed to get here - not only to get here, but to stay here”. The Herald continued: ‘The House figuratively rocked with laughter. Miss Stanley hastened to explain herself. “I am referring”, she said amidst further laughter, “not to the physical age of the old gentlemen in question, but to their mental age, and to that obvious vacuity of mind which characterises the old gentlemen to whom I have referred”. Members obviously could not afford to manifest any deep sense of injury because of a woman’s banter. They laughed instead’. Preston-Stanley’s speech marks an important point in gender politics. It introduced female participation in the Twenty-seventh Parliament. It stands chronologically midway between the introduction of responsible government in the 1850s and the Fifty-first Parliament elected in March 1995.

  • Women at Work
    WOMEN AT WORK The contribution of women in the NSW Parliament has been significant, delivering positive and lasting outcomes for the development of society, politics and culture. Working with their colleagues in Government and Opposition, they have helped to drive legislative and policy review and reform, and to initiate improved parliamentary practices and procedures. In this section we examine ‘women at work’ and the ways in which women have acted as community advocates; as driving forces behind parliamentary committees; as leaders and ministers in Executive Government; through networks such as the Commonwealth Women Parliamentarians Association; and through other programs, projects and networks designed to provide opportunities and encouragement to women who might be seeking an entry into politics. Community advocates From adoption practices, to same sex marriage, political donations to disability services, women have used the parliamentary arena to be a voice for their communities and to champion policies close to their hearts. Here are just some of the many ways women in Parliament have sought to deliver outcomes to benefit the community. HELEN SHAM-HO LIBERAL, THEN INDEPENDENT MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL (1988 - 2003) Helen Wai-Har Sham-Ho was the first Chinese person elected to an Australian Parliament in any jurisdiction. She was Chair of both the Standing Committee on Parliamentary Privilege and Ethics, and the General Purpose Standing Committee No. 3. The latter inquired into policing in Cabramatta, and led to significant changes in policing policies in NSW. Helen originally entered Parliament as a member of the Liberal Party, but became an Independent in 1998. Born in Hong Kong, Helen migrated to Australia in 1961 and is an inspiration to culturally and linguistically diverse communities across the country.

  • Front Pages.Qxd
    Mayes new.qxd 12/12/2003 2:18 PM Page 15 Localising National Identity: Albany’s Anzacs Robyn Mayes Local representations of the significance of Albany, Western Australia, in the first world war and of the city’s part in the birth of Anzac register substantial points of departure from national histories. While both the Anzac mythos and official renderings of Australia’s wars are vigorously contested, Albany’s reformulation offers a clear example of the ways in which communities actively inflect national narratives to create expressions of differentiated local identity. This article explores the relationship between the national and the local by focusing on the local narrative of the massing and departure of ‘The Great Anzac Convoy’ in King George Sound in 1914. Particular attention is given to the way Albany has been able to appropriate and localise this event and the origins of Anzac, consequently promoting itself as an important element of the national identity, from which it nevertheless remains distinct. This localisation of an important element of national identity confers cultural standing and a potentially empowered position in relation to this national identity. Locating cultural identity: from nation to local community The concept of nation as an overarching framework of social and cultural identity is increasingly being challenged. As a monoglossic structure, the nation is built upon the extensive repression of difference necessary to create the pretence of a stable and homogenous national group.1 Zygmunt Bauman suggests that the universalism that enabled the nation-state also made identities too ‘nebulous, immaterial and weightless for comfort, not to mention security’.2 Similarly, Desmond Morris takes the position that national groupings are too large for ‘meaningful’ identification.3 Nation as a primary frame of collective identity is eroded by a contemporary strengthening of smaller-scale allegiances and local identities.
