You Can't Be What You Can't See— Women
Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory 49th Presiding Officers and Clerks Conference Wellington, New Zealand 8-13 July 2018 You can’t be what you can’t see— Women in the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory Paper to be presented by Joy Burch, MLA, Speaker of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory Page 1 of 10 ‘Any way you look at it there are many, many women who are capable of that job of leadership and making an impact at every level of government and I think we should see more”1 “Women in politics do make a difference and they can change people’s perceptions of politics – they also change the structural discrimination of old-style political systems and parliamentary conventions”2 1 Rosemary Follett, ‘Rosemary Follett and Kate Carnell reunited to sight sexism in politics’ Canberra Times 7th March 2015. 2 Katy Gallagher, ACT Chief Minister, katygallagher.net/blog blog post, 1st October 2014. Page 2 of 10 Introduction Women have played an important and prominent role in the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory since its establishment in 1989. The ACT was the first state or territory to have a woman as its Head of Government. In the Second Assembly, the positions of Speaker, Chief Minister and Leader of the Opposition were all held by women. Perhaps most significantly, at the Territory election for the Ninth Assembly in 2016, thirteen women were elected to the Assembly. It was the first time in Australian history that a majority of women had been elected to a parliament and one of the first jurisdictions in the world to have done so.3 It was also notable that the voters of the ACT returned this result even though only 36 percent of the total 140 candidates that stood for election were women. -

The 2019 Trans-Tasman Challenge brings together New Zealand and Australia, two rival sporting nations, as part of the 10th Winter Games NZ. New Zealand and Australia last met at the 2017 and 2018 Winter Games NZ. Each country has won the three-game series twice, New Zealand's Ice Blacks in 2009 and 2018 and Australia's Mighty Roos in 2011 and 2017. The Mighty Roos will be out for redemption while the Ice Blacks will want to, once again, prove their superiority on home ice.

PowerHealth e-Newsletter - Q2 2018 PowerHealth Leverage Leverage: to use (something) to maximum advantage Using Big Data to Improve Patient Experience Big data represents a rich resource with the potential to improve care, but for many this asset is being underutilised. Recently, Harvard Business Review compared hospitals to airlines and the operational complexities to keep costs low and create a decent profit. They explained how "used correctly, analytics tools can lower health care costs, reduce wait times, increase patient access, and unlock capacity with the infrastructure that’s already in place". It’s a great read to understand how to leverage your data asset. READ MORE... Benchmarking Efficiency Leverage: this month we want to highlight this very word by sharing some recent results from our Benchmarking Efficiency Group. An efficiency review project was conducted on a specific Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) within the W&C division of a large healthcare organisation. The purpose of the review was to explore how a Local Health Network (LHN) was performing against the National Efficient Price (NEP), with a view to discovering which drivers resulted in services being delivered above the NEP and identifying opportunities for improvement. Drilling down into the data via a process of analysis, alignment of costs, education and audit achieved a 1.1M turnaround for the DRG group through the identification of coding issues (revenue lost) and improved expenditure.

2021-22 AIHL Brisbane Sponsorship Packages
2021-22 AIHL Brisbane Sponsorship Packages COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCEaihlbrisbane.com.au ABOUT THE AIHL The Australian Ice Hockey League was formed 2000 and has since evolved into an 8-team national competition including teams from Sydney, Newcastle, Canberra, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. Each team play each other four times, twice at home and twice away with each team playing a total of 28 games a season which runs from April through to August each year. At the completion of the normal season the top four teams enter the AIHL Finals Weekend where the semi final is held with the grand final the following day. The winner of the Grand Final is awarded the Goodall Cup. There is also an All-Star Weekend held annually in June featuring Team North (CBR Brave, Newcastle Northstars, Sydney Bears and Sydney Ice Dogs) take on Team South (Adelaide Adrenaline, Melbourne Ice, Melbourne Mustangs and Perth Thunder) in a series of skills events and eventually competing in a “friendly” game at the end of the weekend. Ice hockey in Australia is fast becoming a household name with over 4700 registered players (IIHF 2020) and connections with leagues over the world including the National Hockey League (NHL) in Canada and USA, the sports reach doesn’t stop at our border. COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE ABOUT AIHL BRISBANE While most major cities within Australia field an AIHL team, the state of Queensland has not had a competitive team since 2012. In an effort to bring the AIHL back to Queensland, AIHL Brisbane look to be the ninth team added to the competition by playing exhibition games as a provisional team in 2021, with the hope of securing acceptance into the league in 2022. -

We agree to the following key priorities and outcomes, working respectfully, constructively and collaboratively as a two-party Government to govern with, for and in the best interests of Canberrans. ACT Labor and the ACT Greens have, over two previous terms, demonstrated that we can work together in government to deliver the most progressive and reformist administration in Australia. This effective collaboration is built on trust, mutual respect and our many shared values and goals. This new Agreement comes at a defining moment in our Territory’s history, and outlines a strategy to address the major social, economic and environmental challenges society faces.

2016 ACT Election Capad Candidate Statements: Analysis at a Glance
2016 ACT Election CAPaD Candidate Statements: analysis at a glance In 2016 CAPaD invited the candidates for the ACT election to introduce themselves to the electorate and to say why they felt they were suitable for the job of representing us in the Legislative Assembly. We hope you find this summary of the responses by those who were elected, about their perceived relationship with voters, informative. Conclusion In brief our MLAs understandably take a very traditional view of their representative relationship with voters. They are very much about being available for one-on-one interactions out and about on the hustings and by standard correspondence or email. There was some interest in social media but little interest in traditional media. Structured opportunities to meet constituents were also favoured. MLA initiated methods scored low. Interest in promoting or engaging through deliberative and participatory methods was mentioned by six of the MLAs. More detail follows. Response rates Overall: 62 of the 141 (44%) candidates submitted statements By success in being elected 14/25 (56%) of successful and 48/116 (41%) of the unsuccessful candidates By being elected by Party affiliation ALP: 25 candidates, 13 (52%) submitted statements; 7 (28% of all candidates and 54% of those who submitted statements) elected Liberal Party, 25 candidates, 10 (48%) submitted statements; 5 (20% of all candidates and 50% of those who submitted statements) elected The Greens, 15 candidates 13 (67%) submitted statements; of those 2 (13% of all candidates and -
Meredith Hunter
The Hon Scott Morrison MP Prime Minister Parliament House CANBERRA ACT 2600 Dear Prime Minister We are writing with regard to the announcement by your Attorney-General Christian Porter that he is the Cabinet Minister at the centre of rape allegations. As the leader of the Australian Government you have a responsibility to set the standards for your Ministers and other members of your government. Those standards send a strong message to the country about the honesty and integrity of your government and, importantly, how it treats others. Your response to the allegations against Attorney-General Porter have raised serious concerns about the standard of behaviour that you accept from your Cabinet. When these recent events are combined with other allegations coming from Parliament House it is reasonable for the public to have a lack of confidence in the ethics of their elected representatives. Elected representatives must set a higher standard. We consider it is critical that there be an independent investigation of the allegations against Minister Porter. This matter cannot be simply brushed off with you saying you accept the word of the accused. It requires an independent assessment of the information available, so that whatever the outcome of that inquiry, the matter has been taken seriously, and the community can have confidence that when victims do speak up, they will be treated with respect, and above all, Ministers of the Crown will demonstrate the highest levels of accountability. You have openly stated that you have not read the details of this case and appear to disregard the real and terrible impact on both the direct victim and other survivors of sexual assault. -
