Dr Ken Ogden Nearly half the reduction in road trauma will be the result of a safer road and traffic environment, according to the National Road Safety Strategy, and another quarter will be due to safer vehicles. Engineers thus deliver the great bulk of road safety benefits. Are we performing as well as we might? What more needs to be done? And how can the benefit of our initiatives be maximised in the context of the overall systems approach to road safety? These and similar questions will be posed by Dr Ken Ogden, the Engineers Australia National Committee for Transport Eminent Speaker for 2007. Dr Ogden is author of “Safer Roads: A Guide to Road Safety Engineering”, and has recently retired from his position as General Manager Public Policy with the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria. In his former role, he was responsible for RACV’s public policy and advocacy roles, in particular in the areas of road safety, the environment, transport and traffic, and consumer advice. Prior to joining RACV in 1996, Ken was Professor and Head of the Institute of Transport Studies at Monash University. Ken is an international authority on road safety, traffic engineering and transport policy. He is author or editor of numerous technical papers and several book. Ken is a Fellow of Engineers Australia and was the recipient of its 2004 Transport Engineering Medal. He will challenge us to think about the next steps in road safety policy, including safer roads, safer vehicles and safer road user behaviour.

  • I Have Attached a Photo of the 1962
    Vol 49 Page 3 Vol 68 Page 7 My Story Julie Hammer Julie Margaret Hammer was born in the Brisbane suburb of Wavell Heights in 1955. She started school at Wavell Heights Primary School, completed years 8-10 at Brisbane Girls Grammar School, and years 11-12 at Hendra State High School, graduating in 1971. She was placed eighth in Queensland in the Senior Public Matriculation Examination after which she studied physics and mathematics at the University of Queensland, graduating with a Bachelor of Science with Post-Graduate Honours in Physics. With the new degree under her arm, Julie started looking for a job as a physicist, but back then most people could not even pronounce the word let alone knew what it meant and want to employ one, so in 1977 she joined the Air Force thinking that it would fill in the time for a couple of years while she was 'waiting for a proper job'. This was at a time when the RAAF was opening a number of traditionally male employment areas to women. Even though the WRAAF still existed, Julie signed on as a RAAF Education Officer with the rank of Flying Officer, only the third woman to join the Education Branch. Despite being a RAAF officer, all women were paid on the WRAAF payscale and Julie received only 80% of the equivalent male wage but in May 1977, the WRAAF was disbanded and all its members were incorporated into the RAAF – with, some 12 months later, equal pay with the men. Julie’s first posting in 1977 was to RAAF Frognall in Melbourne (the RAAF sold Frognall in 1984) as the EDO for the Engineer Cadet Squadron, supervising the library and mathematics bridging courses for the first year cadets.

  • Women's Involvement in the Australian Military
    “The Gendered Battlefield” Women in the Australian Defence Force Donna. V. Bridges A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Applied Social and Human Sciences University of Western Sydney 2005 I dedicate this thesis to my grandfathersgrandfathers:::: Bill Bridges who died while serving in the British Air Force in WW2 Jack Bolger who served with the British Army in the Middle East in WW2 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the support and generosity of the women from the Australian Defence Force who devoted their time and energy to provide me with their valuable contributions. To them I am endlessly grateful. The Australian Defence Force showed interest in this research by providing practical assistance. Their openness to the project made the research processes and outcomes richer and more constructive. Special thanks go to John Matthieson and Lieutenant Colonel Linda Campbell, both worked closely with me and helped me immeasurably. Linda Campbell is owed untold gratitude for her consistent guidance, her advice, and tireless commitment to the project. I also owe thanks to the intellectual community I am part of at the University of Western Sydney. Thanks must go first to my supervisors: Doctor Debbie Horsfall, for her faith in me always, her constancy and her vigilant and challenging supervision, Associate Professor Moira Carmody for her astute observations in theory and writing, and her support in my communications with the ADF. The support of Vivian Mulder in all my dealings with the University, and administration, is greatly appreciated. Postgraduate colleagues have been an inspiration, providing good advice and lots of encouragement.

(Source: ADF Image Gallery) (Source: ADF Image Gallery) Flight Lieutenant Natalie Pietrobon and Squadron Leader Samantha Freebairn, RAAF C-17A Globemaster Pilots. (Source: ADF Image Gallery) ISSN 2204-1982 This paper was prepared under the Parliamentary Library’s annual Summer Research Scholarship program. The views expressed in this paper are those of the Summer Scholar author, and do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of the Parliamentary Library. 1 ABSTRACT This paper describes and analyses the legislative and policy changes influencing women’s participation in the Australian Defence Force (ADF) over six decades. Since World War II (WWII) women’s roles have changed significantly. For instance Appendix C statistics show that in 1954, the role of most married women was as stay-at-home wives and mothers. Only 30.9 per cent of married women participated in the paid workforce. By 1998, this figure had doubled. These changes were reflected in the military where women’s roles went from auxiliary service to employment in combat positions. Various governments were responsible for the changes, for example, the Hawke Labor Government’s enactment of the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (SDA) led to the employment of women in combat-related positions by 1990. Twenty-one years later, the Gillard Labor Government announced the removal of gender restrictions from ADF combat roles thus recognising the full potential of women to contribute to the defence of Australia, and as a transition mechanism, the ADF developed a five-year phased implementation plan.

  • Commemoration for Bomber Command. RAAF Amberley, 02 June 2019
    Vol 49 Page 3 Vol 66 Page 14 5 Commemoration for Bomber Command. RAAF Amberley, 02 June 2019 On Sunday, the 2nd June, hundreds of people gathered at the Amberley RAAF Base to commemorate the service and sacrifice of the air and ground crews who served with pride and distinction in Bomber Command in the UK during World War Two, 1939 – 1945. During the war, approximately 10,000 RAAF personnel served with Bomber Command and of those, 4,089 were killed or died later from injuries. During that horrible conflict, Bomber Command flew a total of 364,514 operational sorties and lost 8,325 aircraft. From a total of 125,000 aircrew, 57,205 were killed, 8,403 were wounded and 9,838 became prisoners of war. Horrendous figures. Bomber command comprised 126 squadrons, of which 32 were non-British units, 15 Canadian, 8 RAAF, 4 Polish, 2 French, 2 New Zealand and 1 Czechoslovakian. It flew Blenheims, Hampdens, Wellingtons, Whitneys, Manchesters, Stirlings, Halifaxes, Lancasters and Mosquito aircraft and most crews were aged between 19 and 25. The Commemoration was attended by several WW2 Squadron Associations, such as RAAF Radschool Association Magazine. Vol 66. Page 14 The RAAF Beaufort Squadrons. RAAF Lancaster Squadrons and the Pathfinder Force. B RAAF Radschool Association Magazine. Vol 66. Page 14 462 and 466 Halifax Squadrons. The Commemorative Ceremony was held in the Memorial Garden, on the Base, where the old Canberra A84- 201 stands pride of place. As has been the case for many years, SqnLdr Paul Lineham (Ret’d) was the MC for the day and as usual, did a wonderful job.
