On November 11th, during the Questions time Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has answered a question by ATA Alliance. In his answer he has made a special remark for the Australian Turkish Community and Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey, ahead of his G20 visit. Mr Craig Laundy, who is the Chair of Australia Turkey Parliamentary Friendship Group has made a commemorative statement at the Australian Parliament on November 9th, the day before the 77th commemoration of passing of Ataturk on November 10th 1938. Craig Laundy’s speech where he calls Ataturk “a great visionary leader” so far attracted more than 70 thousand views on Facebook. Today, more than 130 Turkish Association around the country has signed the appreciation letter for Prime Minister’s gracious remarks about the Australian Turkish community and the bond between Australia and Turkey, which also attracted thousands views and likes on the social media. Turkish Mosques across the nation will also collect signatures for the thank you letter after prayers on Friday. On the letter the Turkish associations expresses their gratitude for Prime Minister and Mr Craig Laundy’s statements at the Australian Parliament which emphasised the vision and and the revolutionary leadership of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk the founder of modern Turkey. The letter also draws attention to the reconciliation culture of the Turkish people. The letter read; “When the Turkish community saved enough to be able to build itself a mosque in Auburn, the unanimous view was that it was to be named “Gallipoli” as a mark of the bonds between our old country, and our new one.” The associations says that they are happy to see the bonds between these two nations grow and develop but the also add that they remain concerned about “those who would do their utmost to see these bonds broken.” ATA ALLIANCE[/vc_column_text][vc_accordion collapsible=”” disable_keyboard=””][vc_accordion_tab title=”You can read the letter here “][vc_column_text]Dear Prime Minister, RE: Thank you for your remarks about Australian Turkish Community As the Australian Turkish Community we would like to express our deepest appreciation for your remarks about our community during the question time on Wednesday 11th November 2015. You will note that this letter has been signed on behalf of some 130 Turkish-Australian Community groups, however, its sentiments are also shared by all the approximately 150,000 Turkish-Australians living here. We would also like to thank you and Craig Laundy MP for both of your remarks about Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey. Many Australians are familiar with his now legendary words of reconciliation, penned to the mothers of ANZAC soldiers buried at Gallipoli. Less well known is the vast amount of progress Ataturk achieved in ensuring peace and reconciliation between the new nation of Turkey and its neighbours in the region. His vision of world peace has been enshrined in one of Turkey’s national mottos, again from Ataturk: “Peace at Home, Peace in the World”. Nor is this view of Ataturk simply the view of people of Turkish heritage. World leaders like Winston Churchill recognised Ataturk’s achievements. He was in fact nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize by Greek Prime Minister Venizelos – who had lead Greece in its invasion and war against Turkey and Ataturk’s forces, surely a remarkable recognition of a remarkable man. As Turkish-Australians, we strive to live up to the ideals of reconciliation and living in harmony with our neighbours. We endeavour to contribute to the development and wealth of this nation, we try to give, as well as to learn, from the cultures that enrich this nation. When the Turkish community saved enough to be able to build itself a mosque in Auburn, the unanimous view was that it was to be named “Gallipoli” as a mark of the bonds between our old country, and our new one. We are happy to see the bonds between these two nations grow and develop. At the same time, however, we remain concerned that there are those who would do their utmost to see these bonds broken. This is not the place to spell out these concerns, but we do wish to highlight that these actions drive a wedge between people of Muslim and Christian backgrounds in this country. Exploiting fears, and sometimes ancient grudges, not only causes animosity toward our community, but as a correlation, is being used as a propaganda tool to try to radicalise our youth. We trust you will not allow such efforts to bear fruit. We would dearly like to meet with you when you have time to speak with you about issues facing our community in this country, though we appreciate you have a bit on your plate. Finally, we would like to thank you for kind remarks about our community in Australia, you should know that you have won over a great many Turkish-Australians by doing so. Yours sincerely;[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”List of the Organisations signed this letter”][vc_column_text]The Following organisations signed the above letter : ATA Alliance Auburn Gallipoli Mosque Auburn RSL Subbranch Turkish Chapter Auburn Football Club Australia Turkish Foundation Australia Turkish Friendship Association Australia Turkish Women Solidarity Association Australia Turkish Islamic Federation and Association Australia Turkish Cypriot Welfare Association Australian Dance Academy Australia Azerbaijan Friendship Association Australia Denizli Association Australia Islamic Cultural Centres Association Australia Light Foundation Australia Turkish Community University Graduates Alliance Australia Turkish Education and Cultural Association Australia Turkish Mehter Band Australia Turkish Pensioners Association Australian Azerbaijanian Association Inc Australian Bulgarian Turks Association Australian Turkish Association Australian Turkish Association of Queensland Australian Turkish Business Chamber Australian Turkish Business Council Australian Turkish Chamber of Commerce Australian Turkish Cultural Platform Australian Turkish Historical Society Australian Turkish Institute Australian Turkish Media Group Australian Turkish Music Ensemble Australian Turkish Mutual Alliance Australian Turkish National Movement Australian Turkish Social and Cultural Foundation Australian Western Trace Turk Association Black Sea Cultural and Friendship Association Bonnyrigg Turkish Islamic Centre Broadmeadows Turkish Benevolent Association Broadmeadows Turkish Islamic Centre Canning Turkish Islamic Centre Coburg Turkish Benevolent and Pensioners Association Coburg Turkish Saturday School Collingwood Turkish Solidarity Association Cypriot Turkish Islamic Centre Dandenong Turkish Education and Solidarity Association Fitzroy Turkish Islamic Centre Galaxy Foundation Gallipoli Heath Services Gallipoli Welfare Society Gallipoli Educational Solutions Goulburnvale Turkish Islamic Centre Illawara Turkish Islamic Centre Islamic Centre of Newcastle Islamic Science and Cultural Association Keys borough Turkish Islamic Centre The Light Foundation Inc Melbourne Turkish Education and Solidarity Centre Melbourne Turkish Solidarity Charity Melbourne Turkish Taxi Drivers Association Melbourne Turkish Youth Association Mildura Turkish Islamic Centre Moreland Turkish Association New South Wales Australia Islamic Community Milli Görüş Newtown Turkish Islamic Association North Brunswick Turkish School Northern Cyprus Turkish Association NSW Auburn Turkish Islamic Cultural Centre NSW Council of Turkish Associations NSW Turkish Council of Turkish Association NSW Turkish Cultural Centre NSW Turkish Education and Cultural Association NSW Turkish Education Association NSW Turkish Education Council NSW Turkish Parents and Teachers Association NSW Turkish Teachers Association NSW Turkish Workforce and Pensioners Association NSW Turkish Wrestling Association Nur Foundation Prodigy Youth Association Queensland Australia Islamic Community Milli Görüş Queensland Turkish Islamic Centre Queensland Turkish Solidarity Association Redfern Islamic Centre Renmark Islamic Centre RSL Turkish Subbranch of Victoria Selimiye Foundation Semerkand Community and Youth Club Australia South Australia Turkish Alliance Springvale Turkish Islamic and Cultural Association St Albans Turkish School St Albans Turkish Womens Group Sunshine Turkish Elderly Group Sydney Turkish Islamic and Cultural Association Sydney Turkish Youth and Sports Club Thomastown Turkish Education and Islamic Association Thomastown Turkish Education Association Turkish Australian Business Chamber Turkish Australian Cultural House Turkish Blacks Association Turkish Cultural Centre Turkish Cultural Formation Group Turkish Festival Association Turkish House Turkish Music and Art Academy Turkish Pensioners Association Turkish Solidarity Association Turkish Speaking Social Workers Association Turkish Turkish Women Association Turkish University Graduates Association Turkish Welfare Association Turkish Youth Association Turkish Youth Association Victoria Australia Islamic Community Milli Görüş Victoria Denizli Association Victoria

  • A Test Case for Multiculturalism in Australian Education?
    89 GLOBALISATION AND TRANS!NATIONAL STUDENT MOBILITY: A TEST CASE FOR MULTICULTURALISM IN AUSTRALIAN EDUCATION? ANTHONY WELCH University of Sydney Abstract: A key feature of contemporary globalisation is international migration, which has long been a feature of Australian education. Indeed, it is often remarked that other than Aborigines, all Australians are migrants. This is very di erent to the European experience, and is more like countries of migration such as the USA and Canada. The paper examines the character of multiculturalism in Australian education, from both historical and contemporary perspectives, and uses brief sketches of two migrant communities (Muslim Australians and mainland Chinese) as ways to illustrate some of the key issues, and how the patterns of migration and multiculturalism are changing. Key words: globalisation, migration, multiculturalism, Australian education, Multicultural Australia? Of 150 million students enrolled in higher education worldwide, some 3 million are classed as international. This includes both those who travel abroad to study, as well as those who study an international programme at home, either via distance, or at a branch campus of a overseas university. Australia has been signally successful in attracting large numbers of students to its universities and more recently to its vocational education sector. In higher education, of a total current student population of 1 million enrolled in Australian universities, around 250,000 are international students. With the singular exception of Switzerland, hardly any other country comes close to this ratio of 25%. As is seen below, however, the " ood of students has not always been well regulated, and has become something of a test-case for Australian openness and diversity.

  • Editorial Introduction Gallipoli & Coniston: Conflict, Colonialism And
    Editorial Introduction Gallipoli & Coniston: conflict, colonialism and spatial power Heather Goodall University of Technology Sydney In 1938, Coniston was a tragedy in the invasion of Australia. It was 23 years after distant Gallipoli witnessed the tragedy of the invasion of Turkey. In both of these disasters, many people died brutally and uselessly while those who survived were scarred for the rest of their lives. Both tragedies were a reflection of global colonial expansion and the attempt by colonising Western Europeans to impose control over other people's lands. The papers in this issue take new directions to address the challenging questions raised when the invasion of Australia is seen to be linked to ‘modern’ international wars – argued here to be the expansions of colonial power right up to the present day. In Australia, there is rising, emotive emphasis being placed on the tragedy of the fighting at Gallipoli in Turkey in 1915. Yet Coniston, which lies geographically at the very heart of Australia and is more recent, is almost forgotten. It has been recognised only by the families of the survivors who still live there and who have just - after so many years - won the struggle to restore their power over their own lands. Gallipoli is claimed to have 'made' the ‘nation’ as if some Australian identity was created in the midst of brutality so far away. Yet the brutality which established British control over the continent, without which 'Australia' could not have existed, is ignored because it would mean acknowledging the people whose land was stolen. The power of colonial control – which was reflected in both conflicts – is almost completely unseen.

  • Discursive Constructions of Second Generation Immigrant Identity and Belonging Amongst Young Adults of New Zealand Descent in Sydney, Australia
    Beyond 'insiders on the outside': Discursive constructions of second generation immigrant identity and belonging amongst young adults of New Zealand descent in Sydney, Australia Ranmalie Priyanthie Jayasinha A thesis in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Public Health and Community Medicine Faculty of Medicine UNSW Australia March 2015 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Jayasinha First name: Bellanavidanalage Other name/s: Ranmalie Priyanthie Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Public Health and Community Medicine Faculty: Medicine Title: Beyond 'insiders on the outside': Discursive constructions of second generation immigrant identity and belonging amongst young adults of New Zealand descent in Sydney, Australia Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Studies of immigrant experience have tended to privilege a first generation immigrant-centred framework, including in research on second generation immigrant identity. This has led to the construction of this group as 'insiders on the outside', struggling to navigate cultural divides between family, community and host society. In challenging this conceptualisation I employed a poststructuralist approach, informed by intersectionality and Discourse theories, to explore the discursive constructions of second generation immigrant identity and belonging amongst young adults of New Zealand descent in Sydney, Australia. First, I examined how the subject position of the 'New Zealand immigrant' has been discursively articulated in relation to the nation-state Australia utilising a genealogical analysis of texts and a discourse analysis of media articles related to trans-Tasman migration and settlement. Second, drawing on in-depth interviews, I explored the lived experiences of participants born in Australia of New Zealand descent as they negotiated their identity and belonging within the confines of this discursive terrain.

  • 9 Spectators, Theatre Types and the Social Purposes of the Theatre
    9 SPECTATORS, THEATRE TYPES AND THE SOCIAL PURPOSES OF THE THEATRE Four Types of Theatre The material I am presenting here is based on a small portion of my research on audiences for different types of theatre. Although categorizing them is not a straightforward matter, they may be described as establishment-mainstream, radical-mainstream, workplace-community theatre and bilingual-bicultural theatre. The theatre companies/venues and productions which I have taken to represent these four types are as follows: Three Sisters directed by Richard Wherrett in 1990 at the Sydney Theatre Company; The Tempest directed by Neil Armfield in 1990 at the Belvoir Street Theatre in Sydney, and Love and Magic in Mamma's Kitchen directed by Teresa Crea in 1991 at the same theatre; No Fear directed by Joan Murray in 1991 for the Melbourne Workers Theatre; Tinti di rosso!Red Like the Devil directed by Teresa Crea and performed by Doppio Teatro in 1991 in Canberra as part of the Australian Theatre Festival. The bilingual title of Doppio's production indicates that it was performed in Italian and English, both languages being more or less evenly mixed for the whole show. The company's very name - "doppio" means "dual" or "double" - shows clearly its aim of developing its work from two languages and two cultures. It must be noted further that, although Love and Magic and Red Like the Devil were directed by the same person, they were not performed by the same performance group. Love and Magic, in other words, was not a Doppio Teatro production. It was staged on the initiative of Belvoir Street as this theatre's contribution to Carnivale, the annual, so-called "multicultural" festival held in Sydney where non-Anglo/Celtic "ethnics"­ generally, though not exclusively, those who live in or near the metropolis - showcase their particular heritage and talents.

Young Turks and new media: the construction of identity in an age of Islamophobia Abstract The place of Islam in a multicultural society is high on the agenda of every western nation at the moment. In the wake of a series of local and global events, Australia’s Muslims have found themselves in the glare of media scrutiny over what it means to be Australian and a Muslim. Increasingly that media discourse contributes to a rising tide of anti-Islamic feeling, also known as Islamophobia, in the community. Diasporic communities across the globe are using new technology to overcome some of the structural difficulties inherent in being cast as ‘outsiders’, even of the country in which they were born. This paper examines the use of communications and media technologies to establish, assert and define social groups and notions of social identity, using a research project with Melbourne’s Turkish community as a case study. The qualitative research, which forms part of a broader study of the Turkish community in Melbourne, focuses on the experiences of a small cohort of young people of both first and second generation Turkish background, who are completing their education in the Australian university system.

As such, the study explored the relationship between the sense of belonging and friendship of young Turkish Australian females in embracing their ethnic identity. Data was obtained from five young Turkish Australian females living in Sydney through two rounds of face to face interviews. The first round was semi-structured interviews while the second, after a month gap, was exploratory type of interviews to yield rich data. The analyses indicated deeper understanding of ethnic identity among the young participants through the sense of belonging and friendships developed. Inevitably other components of ethnic identity were found to be interwoven with the two, contributing significant roles in depicting the participants’ ethnic identity. Keywords: Ethnic identity, Australian Muslims, Turkish-Australians, sense of belonging, friendship. 1 ISSN: 2201-6333 (Print) ISSN: 2201-6740 (Online) www.ijern.com 1. Introduction The definition of ethnic identity is reflected on how an individual relates to an ethnic group or groups based on the similarities in values, social behaviours and beliefs.
