The theme for the Parliament of the World’s Religions in 2009 is, broadly, about making a difference through hearing one another and “healing the earth”. These sentiments resonate loudly as the world grapples with such pressing issues as poverty, social cohesion, religious and political tolerance, and the environment. In this special liftout, we asked religion editor Barney Zwartz to examine what the parliament will try to achieve over the next few days and how its discussions may translate into action. His overview appears on the next two pages. Senior writer Sushi Das interviewed one of the world’s foremost scientists, Paul Davies, for his views on the vexed, and contentious, Editor Sean O’Connor Sub-editing/production question of whether religion and science can happily co-exist.

Our last Australia and the United Nations: Report Card was published in 2007 and marked a point in time when we were highly disappointed with Australia’s engagement with the UN. Australia was not actively contributing in the General Assembly, nor working hard to advance the Millennium Development Goals. We were not rising to meet the challenge of climate change and had just staged an intervention in the Northern Territory that the UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples later found to be incompatible with Australia’s international human rights obligations. The 2013 Report Card focuses on Australia’s activities following the publication of the last Report Card in 2007 up until the federal election on 7 September 2013.

The colony known as Port Phillip District had for millennia been home to the Kulin nation, comprising Wathaurong, Boon Wurrung, Woiwurrung, Taunguerong and Dja Dja Wurrung language groups. They had witnessed the sea level rise, the coast recede; they had seen hills become islands and had witnessed climatic change as the ice age of the Pleistocene epoch ended. Early European settlers failed to recognise the complexity and sophistication of these groups, which lived sustainably on and with their Country. Naarm, which later came to be known as Melbourne, sits on the meeting point of the Birrarung (Yarra River) and its tributaries in the resource-rich lands and waterways of south- east Australia. In June 1835, on the bank of Merri Creek, six kilometres north-east of Melbourne in present-day Northcote, British-born pioneer of Australia John Batman attempted to instigate with the Wurundjeri a treaty which was quickly revoked by colonial officials. Most people now believe that what Batman proposed as a treaty the Kulin recognised as a tanderrum, a ceremony conducted in the south-east permitting access and safe passage to newcomers and strangers, sometimes also called ‘freedom of the bush’.

  • Conference Handbook
    Conference Handbook Welcome to the TasCOSS 2012 Conference It has been four years since TasCOSS staged a statewide conference, so we are delighted to be able to offer a program that is highly relevant to where our sector is now, driven largely by what people in the sector are talking about and coming to grips with. The conference theme of Engagement, Innovation and Equity was selected in recognition of the fact that community sector organisations are having to do more with less funds. We hope delegates will take away some ideas on how to work smarter, as well some fresh inspiration for the important work you do towards making Tasmania a fair, just and inclusive place. Our keynote speaker and deliverer of this year’s Dorothy Pearce Address is national com- munity sector leader Tim Costello, who will speak after the opening of the conference by His Excellency, the Honourable Peter Underwood AC, Governor of Tasmania – a former TasCOSS President. The Governor is also generously hosting a reception for delegates at Government House on the evening of the first day of the conference. Premier Lara Giddings and other MPs with policy oversight of our sector will be letting us know their views – meet them up close and tell them about your work and aspirations. The varied conference program provides scope for everyone to make their contribution, par- ticularly in the concurrent sessions. The diversity of presenters and the diversity of registrations we have received from the community sector, governments, private sector and more should result in some stimulating conversations inside the Grand Ballroom and outside in the foyer.

  • 2010 June Public.Indd
    JJosephiteosephiteAAboriginalboriginal JJuneune 22010010 MMinistryinistry The Sisters of St Joseph, since the time of Mary MacKillop have always ministered with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) people in Australia. Since the 1960s the Sisters have had a strong commitment in the Kimberley, in major cities and in rural and remote part of Australia. At the last General Chapter of the Congregation in 2007 the Sisters once again affi rmed their ongoing commitment to work in partnership. Since the 1990s the Sisters have had a Congregational committee of ATSI people and Josephite Sisters (Josephite Aboriginal Planning Committee - JAPC) who have developed policy, protocols and procedures for ministry and who have provided advice to the leadership of the Congregation. As the Sisters are in a new stage of planning for a sustainable future for the sake of their part in God’s Mission, they want to ensure their commitment to ATSI peoples remains strong. After consultation with the JAPC and the Sisters currently in the ministry, the Congregation is beginning the process of setting up a more formal structure to ensure this commitment is strengthened and sustainable into the future.
