My experience as Speaker of the Legislative Assembly and as the Member for Rockingham could only partially prepare me for this diverse and exciting role. Getting to know FESA is no mean feat but I have been extremely fortunate in being given the opportunity to undertake visits to a number of regions throughout the State. So far I have visited Boddington, Narrogin, Brookton, Bunbury, Busselton, Waroona, Mandurah, Esperance, Ravensthorpe, Hopetoun, Salmon Gums, Coolgardie, Kalgoorlie, Mount Newman, York, Northam, Toodyay, Geraldton, Greenough and Cape Burney, as well as many parts of the metropolitan area. I wanted to get to know the people and the issues from the ground floor up and I have found this to be not only an educational experience but also a pleasurable one. I have met some wonderful people and I never fail to be impressed by the staff and volunteers who provide such a comprehensive and professional emergency service. It is my intention to continue to use this method of bringing the Board to all the FESA family, wherever you are in W.A. In my first report as Chair of FESA, I would like to convey my thanks to my predecessor, Barry MacKinnon. His work during the development phase of FESA and during the organisation’s first five years of building has been exemplary. I could not wish to take the helm of a sturdier or steadier ship. This is also due in no small part to the vision and determination of CEO, Bob Mitchell. I look forward to working with Bob again after his return from the Western Australia Police Service at the end of the year. Like any good vessel, FESA’s strength comes from its foundations and structure. It’s obvious FESA is a values based organisation. The staff and volunteers that FESA support endeavour to reflect and reinforce those values in every decision, minor and major, that they make. This year FESA added a seventh value to its list. This value is extremely important to any organisation but it is perhaps even more so in FESA’s case, given the often perilous nature of the services it provides to the community. The value says “strive to keep ourselves and others safe”. It is a call to action for FESA’s vision of “a safer community” and I encourage all staff and volunteers to keep this new value at the forefront of their minds as they go about their daily tasks. One of the most important achievements this year has been the successful audit of FESA’s Training Centre which resulted in FESA being granted five year status as a Registered Training Authority. FESA was audited against the Australian Quality Training Framework set of 12 standards and the auditors came back with a glowing report on the organisation’s simple but effective approach to training and assessment. Well done to all involved. I am also pleased to note that FESA is undertaking a groundbreaking research project with the University of Western Australia to examine integrity within the organisation. Already a number of focus groups have been conducted to ascertain what FESA employees believe “acting with integrity” actually means in their lives in and outside work. The next step is a questionnaire and in 2005, a training program will be held followed by a survey to measure the effectiveness of the program. This is an important vehicle to further reinforce and embed FESA’s values and its leadership model within the organisation. One of the most impressive parts of FESA’s structure is its consultative committees. These committees, which consist of major stakeholders from the operational arms, provide a fundamental conduit with the community. They are the sounding board for ideas, policies and the many challenges that face this organisation. Organisations can often become aloof from the communities that they serve but the consultative committees are one important tool to ensure the Board never fails to receive the grassroots opinion and feedback. FESA Annual Report 2003-04 5 CHAIR’S REPORT There have been four major forums this year, which have provided a space and time to learn about innovations and to network with others in the field. The first was the annual FESA Unit Forum and it was great to see the numbers grow and for the group to decide on a distinctive uniform. The second major event was the Wildfire Forum. The theme this year was “Wildfire – The Big Picture”. There were some thought provoking speakers but perhaps the highlight was keynote speaker, burns specialist, Professor Fiona Wood. Professor Wood spoke about her experiences helping victims of the Bali terrorist attack and she also stressed the importance of firefighters wearing personal protective equipment. This was a message indelibly burned into the minds of those fortunate enough to have heard the presentation. The FESA Forum also provided food for thought with Bali survivor Peter Hughes giving a vivid and disturbing account of his experiences and former SAS officer, Peter Tinley given an interesting perspective on leadership under fire during the early days of the Iraq invasion. He went on to detail the importance of planning for every eventuality, a message not lost on those who attended. Last but not least was the State Emergency Service Forum, where SES managers from all over the State gathered at Burswood to discuss future directions. This was also the year for awards. FESA’s All West Australians Reducing Emergencies or AWARE program took out the National “Pre-Disaster Federal/State” category in the 2003 Australian Safer Community Awards. This was great recognition for the work being done in the area of community-centred emergency management and congratulations to all involved. FESA was also highly commended in last year’s Premier’s Awards. The commendation was for FESA’s work in the introduction of the Emergency Services Levy in the “Management Improvement and Governance” category. Congratulations should also go to the winners in the SES Awards, the Firefighting Awards as well as all those recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List and the recipients of the Australian Fire Service Medal and the Australian Emergency Services Medal. Accolades are also due to the teams from FESA who performed so well in the National Road Accident Rescue Championships in Melbourne, especially the Fire and Rescue Service team which won the “Limited” Extraction section of the competition. FESA would not be the organisation it is today without its hardworking Board and I would like to thank all Board members for their diligence and their generosity in sharing their wide experience, which has greatly enriched this body. I would also like to welcome three new members who joined the Board earlier this year, Terry Gaunt, Frank Filmer and Iain Agnew. It is a pleasure to Chair such an active and enthusiastic group of people. In addition we have been very fortunate to have the talents that Bill Forbes has brought to the role of Acting CEO.

  • The Founding and Establishment 1986-2014
    the founding and establishment of the university of notre dame australia 1986-2014 Peter Tannock November 2014 The Objects of The University of Notre Dame Australia are: a) the provision of university education within a context of Catholic faith and values; and b) the provision of an excellent standard of – i) teaching, scholarship and research; ii) training for the professions; and iii) pastoral care for its students. I have written this brief monograph as a personal account of some of the people and events associated with the founding and establishment of The University of Notre Dame Australia. It reflects my memory of, and opinions about, the main issues and challenges faced by the founders, and the milestones in the University’s progress, since it was first conceptualized in 1986. This monograph is a contribution to the University’s celebrations of 25 years since the passage of its founding Act through the Parliament of Western Australia in December, 1989. A subsequent complementary monograph, containing select records and photographs relevant to this story, will be published. I should like to acknowledge the great contribution of Leonie Peacock to the preparation of this publication. Peter Tannock Vice Chancellor Emeritus The University of Notre Dame Australia November 2014 1 The University of Notre Dame Australia Origins: 1986-1992 The idea of establishing a private Catholic University in Perth, Western Australia emerged in the second half of the 1980s. It arose from the realisation by the Archdiocese of Perth and the Catholic Education Commission of Western Australia that there were inadequate means of providing special training for the substantial numbers of lay people who would be needed for future service at all levels in the State’s extensive and growing Catholic school system.

  • Feminism, Politics and Women's Policy in Western Australia, 1972
    Burning Down the House?: Feminism, Politics and Women’s Policy in Western Australia, 1972-1998 Jasmina Brankovich, BA (Hons) UWA This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Western Australia School of Humanities, Discipline of History 2007 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the constraints and options inherent in placing feminist demands on the state, the limits of such interventions, and the subjective, intimate understandings of feminism among agents who have aimed to change the state from within. First, I describe the central element of a „femocratic‟ policy machinery as a three-tiered network of politicians, public servants, and women in community organisations and political lobbies, who were agents of a particular brand of feminism. I focus on the formation of a women‟s information service, passage of equal opportunity legislation, and a legislative decriminalisation of early abortion, as case studies where these networks were most effective in engendering change. Second, the politics of the 1970s Perth women‟s movement shared a heritage of peculiarly Australian tradition of social liberalism, where the state intervened to equalise the unequal social order. The „feminism‟ articulated within the state was influenced by social liberalism, but was also configured and reconfigured according to the specific Western Australian political context. Third, the material obtained in interviews with women politicians and senior bureaucrats constituted the most important source of the women‟s understandings of the politically volatile arenas of public life in which they worked. In particular, insights gathered in this material underscored and reinforced the complexities of feminist involvement with the state and the fragile, contraditory nature of feminist gains.

    MAKING A DIFFERENCE—A FRONTIER OF FIRSTS WOMEN IN THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN PARLIAMENT 1921–2012 David Black and Harry Phillips Parliamentary History Project Parliament of Western Australia 2012 Women in the Western Australian Parliament 1921–2012 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ CHERYL LYNN EDWARDES MLA Kingsley 4 February 1989–25 February 2005 (Lib). Shadow Minister 1989-1993 and 2001–2005; Minister of State 8 March 1993–15 February 2001, including term (1993–1995) as first female Attorney General. Member several joint standing parliamentary committees, joint parliamentary select committees and parliamentary select committees. When Cheryl Edwardes was elected to the Legislative Assembly in 1989 for the new northern suburbs seat of Kingsley, she became only the second woman after June Craig (q.v.) to enter Parliament to represent the Liberal Party in that chamber since the party was founded in 1944. Immediately upon her election to Parliament, Cheryl was allocated a host of shadow portfolio roles and, after Richard Court had won the Liberal Party leadership from Barry MacKinnon in May 1992, she came within a ‘hair’s breadth’ of achieving the deputy leadership of the party when she was defeated by lot after the vote was tied with Colin Barnett. Her rapid rise to prominence was cemented when the Coalition won office in February 1993, with Cheryl becoming the only woman in the 17-member Cabinet. Of particular historic significance was her appointment as the first female Attorney General in Western Australia, a position she held at one stage in conjunction with the Justice Ministry. Not surprisingly, she was also allocated the Women’s Interests portfolios, which she retained until 1997.
