Whether they are at the frontier of new discoveries, champions of their local communities, or trailblazers that forge the way, as Minister for Women I am privileged to PAGE 5 meet and work with the women that make Victoria the great state that it is. When we recognise the strength and power of women, we challenge entrenched biases about women in positions of leadership, and show the next generation what is possible. That is why the Victorian Government is committed to acknowledging and celebrating the many incredible achievements of outstanding women leaders. Since 2001, the Victorian Honour Roll of Women has recognised over 600 women who have made an extraordinary contribution to Victoria, Australia and beyond. The 20 inductees to this year’s Honour Roll come from all walks of life. They have made outstanding contributions to health, scientific research, the arts, human rights, social justice, community building, sport and education. They are women whose intellect and tenacity have helped to solve complex challenges and made lasting change. They are pioneers who have broken down barriers and reached new heights. They are advocates who energise, educate and inspire. I encourage you to read their individual stories here. VICTORIAN HONOUR ROLL OF WOMEN 2018 2018 WOMEN OF ROLL HONOUR VICTORIAN To the Honour Roll inductees for 2018, congratulations and thank you for your courage, determination and inspirational leadership. I cannot wait to meet the future leaders that follow in your footsteps.

I am so sorry that, as I will be in regional Victoria, I will not be able to be present for today’s induction, but I am sure that it will be a wonderful celebration.

I am delighted to present the stories of the women who join the Victorian Honour Roll of Women in 2005. It is fitting that we pay tribute to their many achievements. Their stories reveal the way in which each of these women has used their unique skills, experiences and insights to enrich their world. Whether they have worked behind the scenes in support of local communities or on the international stage, each of these women have created better opportunities for women in Victoria, in Australia and beyond. They have provided leadership, they have touched the lives of those around them, they have helped improve the lives of women and their families and they have helped produce long term change for the better. But these stories will do more than describe achievements. They will remind you, as they remind me, of the strength that resides within women to achieve extraordinary things.

  • Polio Australia Incorporated Representing Polio Survivors Throughout Australia
    Polio Australia Incorporated Representing polio survivors throughout Australia www.polioaustralia.org.au Reflections October 2013 Once again, October’s Polio Awareness Month has come and gone and, as always, the publicity surrounding it has resulted in numerous polio survivors contacting Polio Australia seeking information about their symptoms and the late effects of polio. It’s always interesting when speaking with others, how many know someone who had polio, yet how ‘invisible’ they are in the community. Of course, this has been a necessary survival tactic used by many since they ‘recovered’ from both the virus and the often traumatic rehabilitation. Being ‘normal’ and just ‘getting on with it’ were very effective tools for achieving success in a world where any form of weakness and/or disability was often judged negatively. Thankfully, this attitude is slowly changing for the better. However, we can often be our own worst enemy by continuing to battle on and not asking for support. After all, what can be done about it anyway? Sound familiar? Well, the more we ‘come out‘ and make our voices heard and presence felt, the more forthcoming the appropriate support will be. Let’s all work on revealing ourselves within our respective communities, and encouraging our still ‘hidden’ brethren to sign up to the Australian Polio Register to increase the numbers of polio survivors we KNOW are out there! “Refusing to ask for help when you need it is refusing someone the chance to be helpful.” ~ Ric Ocasek In this e-Bulletin Ramifications of Polio Increase The ‘Then and Now’ of Life With Polio Special Purpose Post Polio Fund NDIS Prices Services ‘much too low’ Vale Janet Powell AM Disability Reform The Polio Day Cookbook Polio This Week It’s Not About The Polio Polio Around the World Newcastle Doctor Examining Ramifications of Polio Increase Source: ABC News - 4 November 2013 A Newcastle public health professor says Australia is in a good position to thwart possible importations of the deadly polio disease as it resurges overseas.

You will also find the standings of the first three places in all events for men and women at the Olympic Games followed by several classifications which are listed either by the number of titles or medals by swimmer or National Federation. It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1. The period of time. The Olympic Games were not organised in 1916, 1940 and 1944 2. The evolution of the programme.

  • Remembering Edouard Borovansky and His Company 1939–1959
    REMEMBERING EDOUARD BOROVANSKY AND HIS COMPANY 1939–1959 Marie Ada Couper Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2018 School of Culture and Communication The University of Melbourne 1 ABSTRACT This project sets out to establish that Edouard Borovansky, an ex-Ballets Russes danseur/ teacher/choreographer/producer, was ‘the father of Australian ballet’. With the backing of J. C. Williamson’s Theatres Limited, he created and maintained a professional ballet company which performed in commercial theatre for almost twenty years. This was a business arrangement, and he received no revenue from either government or private sources. The longevity of the Borovansky Australian Ballet company, under the direction of one person, was a remarkable achievement that has never been officially recognised. The principal intention of this undertaking is to define Borovansky’s proper place in the theatrical history of Australia. Although technically not the first Australian professional ballet company, the Borovansky Australian Ballet outlasted all its rivals until its transformation into the Australian Ballet in the early 1960s, with Borovansky remaining the sole person in charge until his death in 1959. In Australian theatre the 1930s was dominated by variety shows and musical comedies, which had replaced the pantomimes of the 19th century although the annual Christmas pantomime remained on the calendar for many years. Cinemas (referred to as ‘picture theatres’) had all but replaced live theatre as mass entertainment. The extremely rare event of a ballet performance was considered an exotic art reserved for the upper classes. ‘Culture’ was a word dismissed by many Australians as undefinable and generally unattainable because of our colonial heritage, which had long been the focus of English attitudes.
