Sent to VIC ALP Aboriginal members Policy Committee Election February 2016 Inviting to nominate. Tim Watts MP (Caucus Secretary) Social Security Legislation February 2016 Asking the FPLP to Amendment Bill oppose the Bill: they did. C. POLICY DEVELOPMENT REPORT The Committee adopted a resolution proposing, in part, “That Labor advocates referring, to a relevant joint parliamentary committee, the consideration of issues surrounding the possible transfer of the celebration of ‘Australia Day’ from 26 January to 3 March, the date in 1986 that the ‘Australia Act’ came into operation in 1986, or to some alternative date, in order to render the celebration of ‘Australia Day’ fully inclusive of the diverse peoples of modern Australia.” The Committee adopted a resolution proposing, in part, “That consideration be given to implementing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Language Week in concert with New Zealand’s Maori Language Week.” The Committee is currently exploring the use of consistent and appropriate language when referring to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Mr. Lance Wilson (President, CAFR Policy Committee) briefed us on the discriminatory aspects of the proposed Social Security Legislation Amendment Bill. Our Policy Committee resolved to write to the Federal Caucus Secretary, Mr Tim Watts MP, asking that the FPLP oppose the Bill when it is put to Federal Parliament, which we did. Our Committee also resolved to move a resolution to this effect at the April-2016 State Conference. We are pleased to report that the FPLP has decided to oppose the Bill. Other Policy Issues: Indigenous Parliamentary Representation (Dr Chris Bourke) Treaty & Self-Determination Mining & Aboriginal People (Rosalind Byass) Lake Tyers (Helen Drake) Issues related to ‘Close the Gap’, ‘Aboriginal Justice’ and ‘Procurement’ 1. POLICY DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH Book 2 – April State Conference 2016 3 Plans are in place to interact with other Policy Committees (e.g. Economics, Arts & Culture, and Commonwealth Affairs) and to invite various individuals to our meetings to brief us on areas of common interest. 2. POLICY FORUMS None have been held thus far. After State Conference, (hopefully) with vacancies on the committee filled, plans shall be developed for such events in metropolitan Melbourne and in regional Victoria, as part of the policy development process. We have formed a Policy Forum subcommittee and a Policy Audit subcommittee (to review policies from previous ATSI Policy Committees). D. ANY OTHER ITEMS During the term, Nic Wishart resigned as Secretary and was replaced by Harvey Stern, and Helen Drake resigned as President, and was replaced by Sheena Watt. The Committee appointed a Deputy President (Lorraine Parsons) and a Deputy Secretary (Janet Laverick) to ensure continuity for periods when the incumbents are away from Melbourne. There are currently 10 vacancies on the Committee, which shall be filled at State Conference. A website is being designed, for the purpose of housing (for easy access by members) Minutes, Agendas and other documents. We are also exploring appropriate representation on the National (and Victorian) Indigenous Labor Network (NILN, VILN). Most regular meetings are held on the 4th Monday at State Office, but some shall be held at the Minister’s Office so as to enable the Minister and her Advisers to attend (this may change, once all the 10 vacancies are filled). In conclusion, we are looking at developing a strategic plan to guide our activities over the next year or two.

The proposals particularly related to Chapter 9 of the Draft Federal Platform. President: Lance Wilson Secretary: Adam Hodges ATTACHMENT 1: SUMMARY EXPLANATION: WHY THE ATTACHED AMENDMENTS ARE ESSENTIAL (Note: text highlighted in yellow is regarded as desirable but not absolutely essential.) (1) Labor’s asylum seeker/refugee policy needs re-calibrating to: (a) over-all, re-establish Labor's credibility and presence in this area; and (b) specifically, ensure that Labor wins public acceptance as being: (i) the only Party with a policy that: C. is principled and practical; and D. transitions Australia to an internationally acceptable long-term solution; (ii) distinctively different from – and preferable to – the extreme alternatives (unprincipled Coalition, unrealistic Greens). (2) To thus re-establish and re-position itself, Labor must: (a) commit to implementing asap Labor's long-term, regional solution – a much increased humanitarian intake, creation of UNHCR-approved transit country processing centres, and timely processing of new arrivals (in such centres) plus prompt resettlement – which, by giving asylum seekers and refugees a safe pathway that works, makes dangerous boat journeys unnecessary and unattractive; 3.accordingly, characterise the present situation as a transitional phase (pending full implementation of the regional solution), during which Labor will: 4.on the one hand, maintain some existing arrangements, including: 5.strict ‘anti- people smuggler’ measures; and 6.the Manus Island and Nauru facilities; but (ii) on the other hand, reject, curtail or moderate others – for example: reject the “illegals” tag and the fiction that unarmed boat people threaten to destroy Australia’s borders; end boat turnarounds; repeal obnoxious Coalition legislation (e.g., boat turnarounds, Temporary Protection Visas; Refugee Convention dilutions); treat asylum seekers humanely and lawfully (notably by ensuring that OHS Acts apply in full – and are complied with – at both onshore and offshore facilities); and keep asylum seeker children out of detention; and Book 2 – April State Conference 2016 7 (c) address some long-standing human rights criticisms: (i) legislate ratified international instruments into domestic law, so they’re enforceable; (ii) tell people with a negative security assessment the essential case against them so that they can respond; and (iii) devise alternatives to the life-long detention of proven security risk or stateless people.

  • Three Education Ministers with Public Primary School Backgrounds
    AUSTRALIAN COUNCIL FOR THE DEFENCE OF GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS PRESS RELEASE 582# THREE EDUCATION MINISTERS WITH PUBLIC PRIMARY SCHOOL BACKGROUNDS : Rewards for the Public School Vote in the Victorian Election? Although the private, religious school lobby attempted to influence the outcome of the recent Victorian election, it was the disaffected public school voters, particularly in the neglected developing suburbs and inner city that decided the outcome. Education was a key election issue, with Labor making significant commitments to increase support and funding for public TAFEs, schools and preschools. However, it should be noted that Labor also attempted to ‘buy’the religious vote with a promise of $120 m for expanded facilities. James Merlino, like the Labor Party is Janus faced – facing both ways. Yet when the Catholic Education Office instructed Catholic parents to put the Greens last in the inner city electorates, they did the Greens a great service. Two members from those electorates are now sitting in the Victorian Parliament. And the victorious Labor Party has had the sense to replace the ex-Catholic school principal and administrator, Liberal Education Minister Dixon, with someone who has at least a primary school public education- James Merlino. Deputy Premier Merlino is joined by two other Ministers who have public school experiences. They are: Steve Herbert as Minister for Skills and Training and Jenny Mikakos as Minister for Children and Families, Youth Affairs 1 DOGS note the following CVs for the three Labor Ministers involved with education: 1. JAMES MERLINO: James Merlino was born 19 August 1972. He notes that he attended St Edmonds Public School 1978-1984 , Mt Lilydale College 1985-1990 and received a BA (Hons) 1996 (The University of Melbourne).
