The purpose of this report is to share the major contributions to the plenary sessions of the conference with a wider audience As these papers were planned to fit gradual development of the theme, they make a cohesive collection. Papers given at concurrent sessions, many of which provide excellent supplementary insights to the issues raised in the major papers, are available as offprints from the Executive Director of the College. The Conference was a celebration of the first twenty-five years of the Australian College of Education. Readers are invited to share that celebration as they read this report and in their discussions of the major questions raised about what it means to be human in a technological age. October 1984 Shirley Randell 6 OVERVIEW SH111.1.1=1 RANDE1 Background The Australian Capital Territory Chapter Committee of the Australian College of Education appointed a Conference Planning Committee ii1983 to plan for the 1984 Silver Jubilee Conference The women who formed the majority on the Planning Committee persuaded their colleagues that the theme should embrace humanity as well as technology; faith as well as science The Committee therefore chose the title 'The Human Face of Technological Change' and planned four sub-themes for each day. The Brave New World of 1984 The Communications Revolution Being Human in a Technological Age The Implications of the Technological Society for Education Tn seeking speakers, the Committee considered people from a range of experiences and disciplines who would be able to draw on the past, be grounded in the present and have a vision for the future They planned the participation of both men and women to give a full human dimension to the topic. Although some key people who originally accepted invitations to speak were unable to attend, the final speakers brought diverse experiences and abilities to the conference All but one were d: awn from the Australian community. They included a judge, a scientist, a miter, a politician, a psychologist, two theologians, three public servants, three university educators, and the Governor-General of Australia (see list of contributors) The Conference Over 300 Fellows and Members from all Chapters of the College gathered on the campus of the Australian National University in Canberra for the Silver Jubilee Conference, which was held on 5-9 May 1984.

  • Kids Helpline Symposium 2016 15 September Help Seeking by Children and Young People: Past, Present & Future
    Kids Helpline Symposium 2016 15 September Help seeking by children and young people: Past, Present & Future Kids Helpline (KHL) first opened its phone helpline to children and young people 25 years ago. On the first day of opening, 3,200 young people called Kids Helpline. 25 years of providing counselling and support has seen more than 7.5 million contacts responded to nationally. Over the years we have made remarkable achievements and seen changes not only in why kids contact us but also how they do this. In 1991, the internet did not exist the way we think of it today. In today’s world kids no longer go online they live online. Young people’s help seeking pathways and preferences over the last 25 years have constantly evolved – socially, culturally and technologically. KHL responds to these changes through innovation and service delivery. We believe it’s important to share this knowledge as it can inform ongoing service development, including the Australian mental health reform process. No other organisation in Australia provides what KHL does with extensive contact with young help seekers. This gives KHL a unique insight into the help seeking behaviour of children and young people. We have invited topic experts to contribute to discussion about the past, present and future of help seeking by children and young people. We invite you to join us to help Australia continue to provide services that are supportive, child-focused and responsive. Panel Host: Megan Mitchell, National Children’s Commissioner Megan is Australia’s first National Children’s Commissioner. Her appointment marks a significant step in the protection of children in Australia with the rights and interests of children, and the laws, policies and programs that impact on them being top of the Commission agenda.

  • Appendix 3D Post-Federation Unification Proposals
    3D-1 Appendix 3D Post-Federation Unification Proposals Appendix 3D provides a summary of Unification proposals that have been advocated in the years following Federation in 1901. The proposals included here reflect the collection assembled to assist the preparation of this thesis, and are by no means an exhaustive collection, but they document several historically significant findings and suffice to demonstrate that Unification and related reforms has been seriously proposed on numerous occasions since Federation, as was also the case in the decades leading up to Federation, as described in Appendix 3A. This appendix has five sections. The first, in Table 3D-1, provides a compilation of extracts from literature sources on post-Federation Unification proposals and the claimed benefits of unification. The second and third briefly summarise policies of the Australian Democrats and Australian Greens political parties which show that these parties support Unification or related government structure reforms. The fourth and fifth then describe summaries of Unification proposals and related proposals (including New States proposals) put forward in two series of events in 1997 and 1998: (1) 128 community forums conducted by the National Australia Day Council and the Australian Local Government Association in 1997 as part of the Australia Consults initiatve, and (2) 58 Local Constitutional Conventions (LCCs) conducted in 1997 and 1998 by the Constitutional Centenary Foundation in conjuction with local government organisations and 66 participating councils. The summaries included here are edited versions of summaries originally prepared in 2001. Selected Extracts on Post-Federation Unification Proposals Table 3D-1 below presents a compilation of literature extracts describing Unification proposals and the claimed benefits of such proposals.

This shows the area only having isolated development. History The name ‘Toorak’ is now synonymous with wealth, prestige and first class residential real estate. This association was equally relevant one hundred and fifty years ago when James Jackson built his mansion on 148 acres of well-wooded land, and named it ‘Toorak House’. ‘Toorak House’ was not only the grandest mansion in the colony, but also became the vice-regal residence from 1854. The name ‘Toorak”, an Aboriginal word meaning ‘reedy swamp’ or ‘duckweed’ (originating from the amount of this weed found floating on the marshy flats between Toorak Road and the river), was an unusual choice for a prestigious house which in turn gave its name to a prestigious suburb.1 The early development of the immediate environs was characterised by the mansion estates. In Kooyong Road immediately opposite No. 177 Kooyong Road on the east side was ‘Kenley” (north- east corner of Kooyong and Albany Roads) and abutting it to the south was ‘Wombaleno’, the carriage drives of which were both directly opposite No.

TELEVISING AND BROADCASTING PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS Statement by Speaker THE SPEAKER (Mr Strickland): I advise members that as a result of a request from the media, and in anticipation of brief ministerial statements by the Premier on the Main Roads WA investigation and on WorkSafe WA, I have given permission for these live proceedings to be released to both television and radio media outlets. PUBLIC ACCESS WAY, CITY OF JOONDALUP Petition Mr Baker presented the following petition bearing the signatures of 53 persons - To the Honourable the Speaker and members of the Legislative Assembly of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled. We, the undersigned residents of Crawley Grove and Fairlawn Gardens, Heathridge, in the State of Western Australia, call upon the State Government to liaise with the City of Joondalup with a view to closing the public access way adjacent to our respective places of residence due to: 1. The vulgar, disorderly, disruptive and generally anti-social behaviour exhibited by many users of the said public access way, particularly during the early hours of the morning; 2. The need to negative, limit or exclude criminal activities in our suburb by persons using the said access way; and 3. The need to restore our peace of mind, security and quality of life. Your petitioners therefore humbly pray that you will give this matter earnest consideration and your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.

  • Creating a 21St Century Sustainable Society and Built Environment in Northern Australia
    Creating a 21st Century Sustainable Society and Built Environment in Northern Australia. Issues Paper for Address and W orkshop to Launch of Centre of Excellence in Tropical Design (CETD) Townsville 2 December 2004 Peter Ellyard Introduction. The launch of a Centre of Excellence in Tropical Design in Townsville is a recognition that successful and sustainable living in the tropics requires: The creation, acquisition and utilisation of tropical knowledge about the true tropics, the monsoon tropics/ tropical savannah and the tropical arid environments, ñ W hat is required to ensure that these environments are sustainably utilised for human use, and what is required for humans to live successfully, healthily and sustainably in these environments. ñ Designs and innovations which lead to the creation of the products, services and technologies which enable humanity to live successfully, healthily and sustainably in the tropics. Most of these have yet to be created, and there are wealth-creating opportunities for those who create them. Design is one of the most powerful tools humanity has to shape the future. This becomes apparent if one considers the fact that the design based professions include engineering, architecture, industrial design, all kinds of planning (including urban, land use, transport, natural resource and social planning) and production planning such as design crop rotations planning and school curriculums. Good design integrates various entities into a coherent whole, preferably resulting in synergistic outcomes while avoiding antagonistic outcomes. One of the major roles of a Centre for Excellence in Tropical Design could be to develop the design principles and practices for use by all the design based professionals who work on shaping the future of tropical environments and human settlements .
