The Institute continues to build on its reputation as a world-renowned medical research hub dedicated to improving the health of communities in Queensland, and much further afield. While “research” is rightly prominent in the Institute’s title, the organisation’s activities extend to collaborations and alliances with other distinguished institutions, patents, clinical trials and commercialisation. To borrow QIMR Berghofer’s own words, the Institute is committed to taking the research “from the laboratory bench to the hospital bedside”. The Institute’s achievements in the year under review are a prime illustration of its commitment to that admirable mission. These include, but are by no means limited to, advances that promise better and more targeted prevention, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of serious conditions ranging from aggressive breast, ovarian, skin and pancreatic cancers to asthma. These are outcomes that will affect directly, and for the better, the lives of individuals everywhere. I thank the QIMR Council, the CEO and his highly skilled research and support teams for their dedication and hard work over the past year. The work of the more than 600 personnel at QIMR Berghofer would not be possible without generous support from governments and from all those organisations and individuals whose time, energy and philanthropy have provided the resources needed for QIMR Berghofer’s work. As Governor and Patron, I thank all concerned for their roles in supporting the Institute’s impressive work program and achievements over the past twelve months, and in further strengthening the foundations for continued success as this outstanding Queensland institution enters its eighth decade. 6 QIMR Berghofer Annual Report 2014-15 CHAIR’S REPORT It is a great privilege and pleasure to provide my first report as Chairman of QIMR Berghofer as this iconic Queensland institution enters its 70th year of improving health through medical research. From humble beginnings, QIMR Berghofer is now a major medical research institute by world standards and has established an international reputation for research excellence and extraordinary research achievements. The Institute’s work in infectious diseases—the original purpose for which it was established—continues apace. Malaria continues to be a key target for our researchers, who are testing anti-malarial medicines in healthy volunteers. This is important work as this preventable and curable disease kills more than half a million people every year, most of them children. QIMR Berghofer has also cemented its place as a global leader in the fight against cancer. From a new treatment approach for acute myeloid leukaemia, to cutting-edge work in cancer immunotherapy, and an antibody that could fight an aggressive brain cancer, the Institute’s world-class research brings hope for those suffering terrible diseases. Mental health and complex disorders are growing areas of focus for the Institute. Our scientists are collaborating with colleagues around Australia and overseas to develop Two of these have been honoured in the past year. diagnostic tools for dementia and major depressive orders. Legendary American philanthropist Charles ‘Chuck’ We are researching debilitating illnesses such as asthma and Feeney was awarded Research Australia’s Great Australian anorexia nervosa. As always, the Institute’s research agenda Philanthropy Award and Toowoomba businessman Clive is driven by the needs of the community. Berghofer was a finalist for Queensland Senior Australian of the Year. Both are shining examples of the ‘giving while QIMR Berghofer has a unique capability to take its world- you’re living’ movement making the world a better place by leading

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 Conditions of Postal Sale The CMS reserves the right to refuse items which are damaged or unsuitable, or we have doubts about authenticity. Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor.. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.

    Journal of the Melbourne Cricket Club Library Issue 40, Summer 2009 This Issue From our Summer 2009/10 edition Ken Williams looks at the fi rst Pakistan tour of Australia, 45 years ago. We also pay tribute to Richie Benaud's role in cricket, as he undertakes his last Test series of ball-by-ball commentary and wish him luck in his future endeavours in the cricket media. Ross Perry presents an analysis of Australia's fi rst 16-Test winning streak from October 1999 to March 2001. A future issue of The Yorker will cover their second run of 16 Test victories. We note that part two of Trevor Ruddell's article detailing the development of the rules of Australian football has been delayed until our next issue, which is due around Easter 2010.

  • The History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    14 . The demise of the Coalition and the Nationals governing alone, 1981–1983 In 1980, backroom plans had been already entertained for a stand-alone National Party government supplemented by a few Liberal ‘ministerialists’— opportunists who would cross over and side with whatever the next ministry turned out to be in order to remain part of the next government. Historically, ‘ministerialists’ were typically senior parliamentarians who, forgoing party loyalties, decided to collaborate as individuals in the formulation of a new government. After the 1980 election, however, any such musing was put on hold as the two conservative parties lapsed back into coalition. This time, the Nationals clearly imposed their dominance, taking the prime portfolios and consigning the ‘leftovers’ to the Liberals. Labor began to refer to the junior partners as ‘Dr Edwards and his shattered Liberal team’—the losers who were ‘now completely the captive of the National Party’ (QPD 1981:vol. 283, p. 7). Despite his vitriolic attacks against the Premier and the National-led government, Llew Edwards retained his position as Deputy Premier and Treasurer—positions he would keep until he was deposed by Terry White on the eve of the Coalition collapse in August 1983, although there was an unsuccessful attempt by dissident Liberals to remove Edwards in November 1981. When the Premier learned about the dissident Liberal plan to topple Edwards, with Angus Innes taking the lead, he declared Innes an ‘anti-coalitionist’ and someone with whom he would not work. Instead, Bjelke-Petersen began hatching plans to form a minority government with whomsoever among the Liberals who would give him support; and then to govern alone until mid-1982.

  • Doctoring Old Age
    DOCTORING OLD AGE A SOCIAL HISTORY OF GERIATRIC MEDICINE IN VICTORIA Cecily Elizabeth Hunter Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2003 Department of History and Philosophy of Science University of Melbourne ABSTRACT The pattern of medical practice that emerged in Victoria, following the introduction of a national system of publicly subsidised voluntary hospital and medical insurance by the Liberal-Country Party Coalition government in the early 1950s, was dominated by the provision of individualised, curative medical services based upon a reductionist model of disease. Older adults, classified officially as ‘aged’ according to age of eligibility for the Age Pension introduced in 1909 by the Commonwealth government, were prominent in this pattern of practice. The number of adults over the age of sixty-five increased over the early decades of the twentieth century, and the technical advances made in postwar medicine led to a growing clinical engagement with the degenerative diseases associated with old age. The growing medical involvement with ‘old age’, the basis of the specialist fields of medical practice that proliferated throughout the 1960s, was recognised as such only in relation to the work of general practitioners. Specialist practitioners defined their clinical engagement with old age in terms of pathologies of bodily organs or systems. In contrast, the special role of the GP in relation to elderly patients was defined in terms of that practitioner’s personal knowledge of patients as individuals. Formal designation of the general practitioner as specialist in caring for the sick aged was confined to the Pensioner Medical Service, a component of the national system of remuneration for medical services.

  • Medefacts Volume 23 | Number 3 | September 2017
    Health and Medical Sciences MeDeFacts www.meddent.uwa.edu.au Volume 23 | Number 3 | September 2017 Please be upstanding – a toast to the Medical School on its 60th anniversary and to all its alumni. From its jubilant beginnings in 1957, when 15 students completed their first year of medicine, to last year’s total of 253 graduands, the Medical School has flourished. Over the 60 years it has witnessed enormous talent and produced exceptional alumni, including a Nobel Laureate, ACs, AOs, AMs, Australian of the Year, Rhodes Scholars, world-renowned researchers, clinicians, teachers and administrators. Above all, it prides itself on its doctors who not only care for their patients, but about them, and give unstintingly of their time for their welfare in all arenas. It is well known that the Medical School only exists because of the generosity of the West Australian public who dug deeply into their pockets from 1955 to raise funds to establish it. These included community organisations, industry groups, professional groups, individuals and many others. Rural communities entered into the spirit and many farmers pledged part of their wool cut or crop – and now, of course, the Medical School boasts an enviable Rural Clinical School with 14 country sites. In this edition, we celebrate our alumni and the impact they have had on future generations of doctors, the health of the community and the progress of medicine. And UWA Pro Vice-Chancellor and Faculty Executive Dean, Professor Wendy Erber, casts a line into the future to see what the next 60 years might bring forth.

  • Geoff Boycott: a Cricketing Hero
    Leo McKinstry Geoff Boycott: A Cricketing Hero Аннотация Few modern British sportsmen have fascinated the public more than Geoff Boycott. In this first comprehensive and balanced account of Boycott’s life – fully updated to include his battle against cancer – award-winning author Leo McKinstry lifts the lid on one of cricket’s great enigmatic characters.A record-breaking Test cricketer and acerbic commentator, Geoff Boycott has never been far away from controversy during his long career in the game.Based on meticulous research and interviews with a host of players, Test captains, officials, broadcasters, friends and enemies, this definitive biography cuts through the Boycott myth to expose the truth about this charismatic, single-minded and often exasperating personality.What was Boycott like as a schoolboy? How did his England cricket colleagues such as Graham Gooch, Dennis Amiss and Brian Close feel about him as a person? Why was he so unpopular in his early career for Yorkshire? And what is the real truth about the relationships that soured his private world?From his upbringing as a miner’s son in a Yorkshire village, through highlights like his hundredth century at Headingley against Australia, to the low points such as the damaging court case in France, this warts-and-all account of his life makes for captivating reading.

  • The History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    15 . The implosion of Joh Bjelke- Petersen, 1983–1987 The 1983 election ended the ‘constitutional crisis’ by providing the Nationals with exactly half the seats in the Parliament (41) and the opportunity to supplement their ministry with Liberal ministerialists who would agree to join the new government. The Premier had a number of options to secure his majority. Many of the surviving former Liberal ministers were not generally regarded as ‘anti-coalitionists’ in the previous government. The six potential ministerialists who might have been persuaded to change allegiances were: Norm Lee, Bill Lickiss, Brian Austin, Don Lane, Colin Miller and even Bill Knox. According to the Courier-Mail (15 July 1983), when two Coalition backbenchers, Bill Kaus and Bob Moore, had quit the Liberals and joined the Nationals in July, two Liberal ministers, Norm Lee and Bill Lickiss, already had indicated they would consider jumping ship. It was almost as if a race to defect was on. The two other Liberals to survive the 1983 poll, Terry White and Angus Innes, would not have been acceptable to the Premier and his senior ministers. In total, six of the eight Liberals had been ministers (although Miller had served for just 13 days after White was sacked and before the resignations of all the Liberals were accepted). Knox had been a minister since 1965 and Lee and Lickiss had been ministers since early 1975. They had some pedigree. Austin and Lane (and White) each had one parliamentary term as minister. Two Liberals, however, took the issue into their own hands. The day after the election, Austin and Lane had discussed the prospects of defecting and swapping parties, with Austin saying ‘I’m sick of this…I reckon we ought to give ’em the arse.
