    2 SEPTEMBER 2013 3 At time of writing, the footy season was approaching its climax as the finals began. On the ladder, the Geelong Cats had closed back to second behind the Hawks. Familiar territory for such a successful club – no change there. Written by John Boley ut for Geelong itself, change is very much in the air. Forever – and perhaps unfairly – associated solely Bwith the Ford auto plant there, the city, the surround- ing area and the local authorities are preparing for the jolt that Ford’s departure will bring and planning a variety of means to improve the lives of the local people. There is a considerable body of opinion to suggest that the ending of such a tight relationship between the city and the carmaker could be a springboard for Geelong to better things rather than a disaster and the City Council is certainly working hard in that direction. It owns and operates the stadium that is home to the Cats, and a major push is underway to extend the reach of this valuable facility and enhance its value to the community. In 1877, Geelong joined the Victorian Association as a Foun- dation Member. The team was known as ‘The Seagulls’ for years, then ‘The Pivotonians’ because Geelong was the pivot point for all railway and shipping for Ballarat and western district merchandise. Years of domination followed as from 1878 Geelong won seven VFA premierships in nine years. Corio Oval was the headquarters until 1940 when the ground was taken over for military training – so they moved again, this time to Kardinia Park in Moorabool Street.

  • 1 the Joint Select Committee on Future Gaming Marke
    THE JOINT SELECT COMMITTEE ON FUTURE GAMING MARKETS MET IN COMMITTEE ROOM 2, PARLIAMENT HOUSE, HOBART ON FRIDAY, 18 AUGUST 2017 Ms LEANNE MINSHULL, DIRECTOR, THE AUSTRALIA INSTITUTE TASMANIA WAS CALLED VIA TELECONFERENCE AND WAS EXAMINED. CHAIR (Mr Gaffney) - Thank you, Leanne, for agreeing to discuss your paper and present to the committee. Ms MINSHULL - Thanks for the opportunity. CHAIR - We have received a copy of your report and have tabled that as part of our evidence. That is why it is important for us to speak to you, because then it can be used to help us with our report. Leanne, please give an introduction and overview of the report and how it came about. After that, members might like to ask questions about specifics within the report. Ms MINSHULL - Okay, great. I am sitting in an airport so occasionally there will get announcements in the background, but I will just plough on. The Australia Institute Tasmania is a national institute that has been in operation since about 1994. They have a long history in looking at economic policy issues, in particular jobs, unemployment and what direct and indirect jobs can be attributed to specific industries. We looked at the gaming industry, in particular, in Tasmania for two reasons. One is because we recently started a branch there. We've been open in Tasmania for about six months. It is obviously a contested issue in the community. As part of our national work we look at Australian Bureau of Statistics statistics every time the quarterly statistics come out. We noticed a few anomalies between what was being reported as direct and indirect employment in Tasmania in the gambling industry and what we would normally see using some of the ABS data.
