The Public Health Association of Australia and the Australian Medical Association assert that people seeking asylum in Australia have a right to health in the same way as Australian citizens, and they denounce detention of such people in government facilities for prolonged and indeterminate periods of time. The position of these two professional organisations is consistent with the compelling body of evidence demonstrating the negative impact detention has on health. Yet in recent years, both the Labour and Liberal parties—when at the helm of Australia’s Federal Government—have implemented a suite of regressive policies toward individuals seeking asylum. This has involved enforced legal restrictions on dissenting voices of those working with these populations, including health professionals.

    PARLIAMENT OF VICTORIA PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES (HANSARD) LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY FIFTY-EIGHTH PARLIAMENT FIRST SESSION Thursday, 8 December 2016 (Extract from book 17) Internet: www.parliament.vic.gov.au/downloadhansard By authority of the Victorian Government Printer Following a select committee investigation, Victorian Hansard was conceived when the following amended motion was passed by the Legislative Assembly on 23 June 1865: That in the opinion of this house, provision should be made to secure a more accurate report of the debates in Parliament, in the form of Hansard. The sessional volume for the first sitting period of the Fifth Parliament, from 12 February to 10 April 1866, contains the following preface dated 11 April: As a preface to the first volume of “Parliamentary Debates” (new series), it is not inappropriate to state that prior to the Fifth Parliament of Victoria the newspapers of the day virtually supplied the only records of the debates of the Legislature. With the commencement of the Fifth Parliament, however, an independent report was furnished by a special staff of reporters, and issued in weekly parts. This volume contains the complete reports of the proceedings of both Houses during the past session. In 2016 the Hansard Unit of the Department of Parliamentary Services continues the work begun 150 years ago of providing an accurate and complete report of the proceedings of both houses of the Victorian Parliament.

    Volume 91 No 2 September 2015/5776 P.O. Box 2220 Caulfield Junction VIC 3161 [email protected] www.ncjwa.org.au PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Rysia Rozen OAM We welcome Rosh Hashanah 5776 with new plans and renewed energy. May the New Year be sweet as the honey cake we will be sharing with our families and may we all enjoy good health and happiness. We pray for peace in Israel, and for all Jews around the world. Best wishes to you and your family for the coming year. May you be inscribed in the Book of Life and may there be peace throughout the world. Read this issue of NCJWA Council Bulletin and let us know how you want to be involved. See if this New Year you can bring one new person as a new member to NCJWA. THIS NEW YEAR’S WAKE UP CALL... Brie Shroot ** Last week my Facebook feed, like that of many others, was filled with photo after photo of a dead child. Like so many other children and adults fleeing war torn countries, little Aylan is dead. He will not grow older, learn to read, ride a bike or just blow out four candles on a cake. The photos that went viral have created a desire to fix the problem however we can. It hurts us terribly to see images like this and many people who previously have been unaware of the seriousness of the situation have been moved to act. Over the last months the trickle has become a flood and families are making the hard decision to risk their lives in the hope of finding a new, safer home.

    8 – 9 OCTOBER –A– –B– “The most important journey is the one of the spirit, for your internal peace relies on it.” Olivia Newton-John AC, OBE Acknowledgement of Country Australian Women in Music Awards acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which we meet, celebrate, dance and sing. We pay respect to their Elders past, present and emerging. MESSAGES Premier of Queensland & Minister Welcome to the 2019 Australian Women in Music Awards. The Queensland Government is proud to support this showcase event for a second year. It is a fabulous way to pay tribute to the many talented women who are creating music or working behind the scenes to support Australia’s Annastacia Palaszczuk MP flourishing music industry. PREMIER OF QUEENSLAND MINISTER FOR TRADE We are delighted the Awards have returned to Queensland, home to some of this country’s finest female musicians. We recognise however, that while they have found success and been embraced by audiences the world over, there are many other gifted women just like them, right across Australia, who are struggling to break through because of gender barriers. Female artists tend to earn less than male performers, receive less airplay on Australian radio and hold little more than one-quarter of senior and strategic roles in key music industry associations. Shining a dedicated spotlight on these issues and recognising the exceptional work of female artists and industry professionals, is a vital step in creating greater visibility and opportunities for all Australian women in music. This is what these Awards are about. We congratulate this year’s winners, cheer on all those who are following MINISTERDi FOR Farmer CHILD SAFETY,MP YOUTH in their rhythmic footsteps, and wish everyone a memorable time AND WOMEN AND MINISTER FOR celebrating outstanding female talent.

It comprises eight independently authored ‘think pieces’ that were commissioned by Our Watch. The views expressed in these papers are those of the authors, and do not necessarily reflect the position of the framework partnership. Suggested citation for these papers: Author(s), (2015), individual paper title, paper prepared for Our Watch.

CONCEPTUALISING CHILDREN IN A PREVENTION OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND CHILDREN FRAMEWORK Think piece paper for the development of the national framework to Prevent Violence against Women and their Children Prepared for Our Watch Monica Campo Summary This paper examines how children should be conceptualised within a national framework for preventing violence against women. It raises issues and areas for consideration in the development of the framework and the implications for policy and practice. It is predominately focused on male violence against women and children that occurs typically in the context of family or intimate relationships. It is acknowledged that there are other patterns of violence within relationships that need consideration in a violence prevention framework, for example violence in non-heterosexual relationships, which is beyond the scope of this paper.

  • From the Desk of John Roskam, Executive Director [email protected]
    From the desk of John Roskam, Executive Director [email protected] 3 June 2020 Dear IPA Member I'm pleased to be writing to you my End Of Financial Year letter for this year for the Institute of Public Affairs. With this letter I have attached a donation form for our 2020 End Of Financial Year Appeal. As you know the IPA doesn't seek or receive government funding. The IPA relies for its funding entirely upon the voluntary financial contributions provided by its Members and supporters. We depend on people like you. Last year the revenue of the IPA was $6 million, 85% of which came from donations and 15% from membership fees. All donations made to our 2020 End Of Financial Year Appeal are devoted exclusively to supporting the research of the IPA and are tax deductible. For the IPA the last twelve months has been a time of achievement and growth. While for Australia the last twelve months falls into two parts – the time up until the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in March, and the time after it. The IPA over the last twelve months More than 6,000 Australians are Members of the IPA, the highest number in our more than 70 year history, while our revenue and cash reserves are likewise at record levels. To accommodate the increase in the number of staff of now nearly 50 employees, the IPA doubled the size of its headquarters in Melbourne during the year. Those 50 IPA employees include our IPA Generation Liberty Campus Coordinators working at sixteen universities around the country.
