  • Three Education Ministers with Public Primary School Backgrounds
    AUSTRALIAN COUNCIL FOR THE DEFENCE OF GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS PRESS RELEASE 582# THREE EDUCATION MINISTERS WITH PUBLIC PRIMARY SCHOOL BACKGROUNDS : Rewards for the Public School Vote in the Victorian Election? Although the private, religious school lobby attempted to influence the outcome of the recent Victorian election, it was the disaffected public school voters, particularly in the neglected developing suburbs and inner city that decided the outcome. Education was a key election issue, with Labor making significant commitments to increase support and funding for public TAFEs, schools and preschools. However, it should be noted that Labor also attempted to ‘buy’the religious vote with a promise of $120 m for expanded facilities. James Merlino, like the Labor Party is Janus faced – facing both ways. Yet when the Catholic Education Office instructed Catholic parents to put the Greens last in the inner city electorates, they did the Greens a great service. Two members from those electorates are now sitting in the Victorian Parliament. And the victorious Labor Party has had the sense to replace the ex-Catholic school principal and administrator, Liberal Education Minister Dixon, with someone who has at least a primary school public education- James Merlino. Deputy Premier Merlino is joined by two other Ministers who have public school experiences. They are: Steve Herbert as Minister for Skills and Training and Jenny Mikakos as Minister for Children and Families, Youth Affairs 1 DOGS note the following CVs for the three Labor Ministers involved with education: 1. JAMES MERLINO: James Merlino was born 19 August 1972. He notes that he attended St Edmonds Public School 1978-1984 , Mt Lilydale College 1985-1990 and received a BA (Hons) 1996 (The University of Melbourne).

  • Microsoft Outlook
    [email protected] From: Melina Bath <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, 31 August 2020 3:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Your vote this week Dear Bob, Thank you for taking the time to contact me regarding Andrews Labor Government’s intention to extend State of Emergency powers under the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 for an additional 12-month period. As Victoria battles COVID-19, the State of Emergency is the legal framework under which the current wide- ranging restrictions on people’s lives and livelihoods including restrictions on leaving your own home, business closures, travel bans, quarantine arrangements and curfews are made. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the Andrews Labor Government has been extending the State of Emergency in four-week blocks. However, the law states that there is a maximum six-month limit, with the current declaration due to expire on 13 September 2020. This week, the Andrews Labor Government wants the Victorian Parliament to pass a new law that will extend the maximum duration of state of emergency powers from the current 6 months to a potential 18 months. The draft legislation gives effect to these proposed laws (which you can read here) – and the Liberal Nationals have many serious concerns! As well as extending the maximum duration of a state of emergency from 6 months to 18 months, under the proposed new laws: · a State of Emergency may still apply even if there are no active cases of COVID-19 in Victoria. · the Chief Health Officer can take action to eliminate a serious risk to public health if he believes it to be ‘reasonably necessary’ rather than the current ‘necessary’ which represents a much lower threshold.

  • Written Questions on Notice Provided by the Hon. James Merlino
    Public Accounts and Estimates Committee | Inquiry into the Government’s response to COVID-19 Written questions on notice provided by the Hon. James Merlino 1. Portfolio: Education Witness: Hon. James Merlino Committee member: Ms Bridget Vallence Page of transcript: p.22-23 Written question: • Have there been any reports from students in school? • Have there been any reports from any schools around any changes to mental health or suicide, particularly, or attempted suicide? Answer: • The Department of Education and Training (the Department) is continuing to provide principals, teachers and school staff with resources to support their students’ mental health and wellbeing during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. • The pandemic is likely to have a significant impact on the mental health and wellbeing of some of our students and the wider community. Mental health and wellbeing support to students is critical given the impact physical distancing and isolation is likely to have on some students during the pandemic and longer term. • Principals, teachers and health and wellbeing support staff are continuing to support the mental health and wellbeing of students. • It is challenging to compare reporting in schools while students have mostly been learning from home, with reports from schools at the same time last year. Some students’ mental health and wellbeing issues may not have been initially visible while students have been learning from home. • Reports from schools between weeks 1 to 5 of Term 2 of mental stress have dropped by almost 25 per cent from 613 to 460 compared to the same time last year. This data may be explained by the reduction of operational incidents due to the low numbers of students attending school onsite during this time.

  • May 22 2017 URGENT Hon Richard Wynne Minister
    May 22 2017 URGENT Hon Richard Wynne Minister for Planning Level 16, 8 Nicholson Street East Melbourne VIC 3002 Email: [email protected] METRO RAIL DISASTER MAJOR TRAFFIC JAM – TOORAK RD WEST Melbourne Metro Rail Authority/Yarra Trams are about to commence construction of a “superstop” as part of the new tramline in Toorak Road West between Park Street and St Kilda Road, South Yarra. That superstop is so wide that it will reduce the traffic lanes in both directions to one lane. In response to our numerous requests to the MMRA that the tram stop be reduced in size so as to allow two lanes in each direction we are told it cannot be done because that is the “Policy”. The effect of that one tram stop in the last 500 metres or so of the eight kilometers the Toorak Road tram has travelled to that point will be to create a massive traffic jam for vehicles travelling to St Kilda Road and out of St Kilda Road in an easterly direction. The chaos caused by this traffic jam will impact a large part of Melbourne, will continue for the estimated five years of the Metro construction and perhaps forever because of what is now plainly the PTV (misconceived) intention that the current Park St/Domain Road tram will never be returned. It is extraordinary that one tram stop should be permitted to cause such harm to Melbourne and that it cannot be changed because of the “policy”. It is even more extraordinary when for the previous eight kilometers or more of the Toorak Road tram there are two traffic lanes during peak hours plus a tram line on which cars can travel and not one single disabled tram stop.

  • Better Access Australia
    BETTER ACCESS AUSTRALIA CALLS FOR SENATE INTERVENTION ON OPIATE DEPENDENCE TREATMENT PROGRAM Better Access Australia has written to the Senate Standing Committee for the Scrutiny of Delegated Legislation seeking their urgent intervention to end the financial discrimination for patients accessing opiate dependence medicines on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. “After weeks of inaction on this issue by the Minister of Health the Hon Greg Hunt MP, Better Access Australia is calling on the Parliament to urgently review the legal basis for this continuing discrimination and end the gap in access for some of the most vulnerable in our community. “Why are these the only medicines on the PBS where a patient can be denied their co- payment and safety net protections and be charged unlimited out of pocket expenses on a daily basis at the recommendation of the government? And on what basis is this program denying these patients their legal protections under the National Health Act 1953? “The Government and its advisory committees acknowledge that over 75% of patients accessing these medicines are facing these out-of-pocket costs, and further acknowledge those costs are a barrier to people accessing treatment for their chronic disease. “The time has come to end the arguments about cost-shifting with the states and territories and put the patient at the centre of the system. “The time has also come for the Government and the Parliament to stop and consider whether what they are doing is legal under the National Health Act, legal under the Legislation Act 2003 and legal under the Antidiscrimination Act.
