  • Cooperating with ICSW, 1994 – 2003
    Cooperating with ICSW, 1994 – 2003 John Langmore The ICSW had a vital role in the struggle for integration of social and economic policies in the 1990s and early 2000s. It is worth recalling those battles because of their formative influence and also because of their contemporary relevance. , After Prime Minister Thatcher and President Reagan adopted market fundamentalism as the ideological core of their economic strategies and the World Bank and IMF copied them, there were major consequences for people everywhere who relied on government social services. The availability and quality of health services, education and even public infrastructure were undermined to make way for reduced taxation for high income earners. A centrally important goal of social justice and human wellbeing became achieving rigorous balance between economic and social goals. President Mitterrand proposed that the UN hold a global conference to plan an international strategy aimed at fighting poverty, creating productive employment and strengthening social integration. The Danish Government offered to host the conference to be held in March 1995. As the Copenhagen Declaration on Social Development begins by saying: For the first time in history, at the invitation of the United Nations, we gather as heads of State and Government to recognise the significance of social development and human wellbeing for all and to give to these goals the highest priority both now and into the twenty-first century. Preparation for this summit created opportunities in many countries for the member organisations of the ICSW to intensify their national advocacy and lift it to a global level. For example, in Australia the Labor Government established a national committee to prepare for the World Summit for Social Development (WSSD), and Julian Disney the President of the Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS), the Australian member of the ICSW, was appointed a member.

  • You Can't Be What You Can't See— Women
    Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory 49th Presiding Officers and Clerks Conference Wellington, New Zealand 8-13 July 2018 You can’t be what you can’t see— Women in the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory Paper to be presented by Joy Burch, MLA, Speaker of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory Page 1 of 10 ‘Any way you look at it there are many, many women who are capable of that job of leadership and making an impact at every level of government and I think we should see more”1 “Women in politics do make a difference and they can change people’s perceptions of politics – they also change the structural discrimination of old-style political systems and parliamentary conventions”2 1 Rosemary Follett, ‘Rosemary Follett and Kate Carnell reunited to sight sexism in politics’ Canberra Times 7th March 2015. 2 Katy Gallagher, ACT Chief Minister, katygallagher.net/blog blog post, 1st October 2014. Page 2 of 10 Introduction Women have played an important and prominent role in the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory since its establishment in 1989. The ACT was the first state or territory to have a woman as its Head of Government. In the Second Assembly, the positions of Speaker, Chief Minister and Leader of the Opposition were all held by women. Perhaps most significantly, at the Territory election for the Ninth Assembly in 2016, thirteen women were elected to the Assembly. It was the first time in Australian history that a majority of women had been elected to a parliament and one of the first jurisdictions in the world to have done so.3 It was also notable that the voters of the ACT returned this result even though only 36 percent of the total 140 candidates that stood for election were women.
