For more information go to www.mua.org.au t was only after speaking to a fellow former serviceman who I have always respected that I decided to apply for the leadership role at RSL NSW. Like many others I had not joined the RSL when I left the Army in 2005 because I only saw it as a club where you could gamble on pokies, Ienjoy a cheap ‘parmi’ and ale. This image had not changed until I started to prepare my application for the CEO’s role. No wonder so many alternative ‘ex-service organisations’ had sprung up, many of which I have been asked to get involved with over the intervening years. The RSL’s core purpose of looking after veterans and their families has been hidden behind the façade of clubs and arguably a lack of strategic leadership to modernise the 100 year old institution to enable it to refocus on its purpose. Now that I have ‘jumped inside’ the organisation in NSW, my first impression is one of great potential. There are so many passionate and committed people who want to respect the past but unlock and mobilise its resources and reclaim its position as the leading ex-service organisation. My youngest son has joined the Army this year. He is now a rifleman in the 6th Battalion, RAR and I’m pleased to report that teamwork and initiative are values he has experienced and told me about so far.in his journey. ‘Mateship’ and camaraderie are strong and according to him he’s already “sorting things out with his ‘Q ee’ and ‘clerk’ mates!” While the look and equipment worn has changed (thank goodness) since I retired, the most important aspect reflected by these values has not. Therefore, I’m now asking myself why, from my observations, has the most recent history of the RSL in NSW not reflected these core values of our armed services? Long periods of introspection, closing the doors to change and localised self-interest have stifled the potential of the RSL foreword to modernise and more effectively meet the needs of younger veterans. In saying this, I have also learned very quickly that what sets us apart from other organisations are our members and the JONATHON BLACK camaraderie that RSL sub-Branches around the state and across CEO RSL NSW the country can offer all veterans. I’m seeing membership, sense of belonging and participation to help others as a strength. It’s not the time to change the fundamental basis of this iconic institution, but work out how to turn this strength into something truly special. We can’t just talk about changing, we have to do something to make it happen alongside and with the support of our members. The wicked sense of Aussie humour and larrikinism is alive and well in our older generations and it is fun to be around.

  • Rear Admiral the Honourable Kevin Scarce AC CSC RAN (Rtd) Royal
    Rear Admiral the Honourable Kevin Scarce AC CSC RAN (Rtd) Royal Commissioner Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission GPO Box 11043 Adelaide SA 5001 3 August 2015 Dear Sir, This is my consolidated submission to the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission addressing selected questions from all Issues Papers. Issues Paper One: Exploration, Extraction and Milling My response to Question 1.7 regarding the demand for uranium in the medium and long term is as follows. To begin, I quote the Commissioner from the article titled, “Jobs in nuclear industry are ‘decades away’”, published in The Advertiser on 25 July 2015: “If we decided – and we haven’t decided yet – to recommend parts of the nuclear fuel cycle, it would be a couple of decades before we started to see the major impact.” I submit that at this point in time there is no way to prove a sound basis exists for concluding there will be increased demand for uranium in the medium and long term. No doubt nuclear proponents will point to the world’s increasing energy needs, especially of the two developing giants, China and India. On the demand side, it is true the world will be looking for emissions-free energy on a massive scale to replace traditional fossil fuels. If uranium for producing nuclear energy was the only option to replace fossil fuels, I would not be writing this submission. The fact is, it is not the only option. Another, better option exists in renewable energy, and I submit that in a much shorter time than it would take to establish a nuclear industry in South Australia, the world will be turning to renewables in force while eschewing nuclear energy.

  • Citizens' Jury
    SUNDAY VERSION South Australia’s Citizens’ Jury on Nuclear Waste Final Report November 2016 “Under what circumstances, if any, could South Australia pursue the opportunity to store and dispose of nuclear waste from other countries?” Jury Summary Statement The Citizens Jury would like to Acknowledge that we have been meeting on Kaurna land and we pay our respects to the Traditional owners, past and present, across South Australia. The jury generally had a strong conviction in taking a position one way or another. Two thirds of the jury do not wish to pursue the opportunity under any circumstances and one third support a commitment to pursue under the circumstances outlined in this report. Introduction: Citizen’s Jury 2 (CJ2) was a group of 350 residents of South Australia who were brought together under the remit of discussing and reporting on the question: “Under what circumstances, if any, could South Australia pursue the opportunity to store and dispose of high level nuclear waste from other countries?”. To be clear, the jury considered only high-level nuclear waste. The people on Citizen’s Jury Two were selected to be broadly representative of the population of South Australia based on demographics (as best as was possible based on the responses to the initial invitation to take part). The 50 jurors from Citizen’s Jury One were also invited back to be part of the second jury process and approximately 30 of them decided to take part in the second jury. On the first day of the jury, we established some guiding principles for how we should approach the process.

  • Making up Stories of Me Stories of Love
    making up stories of me stories of love Love is Paul Kelly’s major subject matter and he writes about it in numerous ways. In the tradition of the bard or balladeer, Kelly tells musical stories about love – first love, love of partner, love of family, love of country, love of God, love gone bad, love filled with regret, love that starts all over again. ‘I think it is the love songs that define him,’ says writer David Leser, interviewed in the documentary. ‘He is the romantic poet in song.’ The pop charts are always filled with love songs, but Paul Kelly’s love songs, while attracting chart success in the 1980s, have never been disposable pop songs. Kelly’s love songs have had, like Keats – who Kelly quotes in the film – a depth and complexity that belie their apparent simplicity. An anthem like ‘To Her Door’ talks about break-up and reconciliation in stark and unsentimental terms; ‘Before Too Long’ addresses how a potential ‘suitor’ views the relationship of the woman he wants to be with; ‘When I First Met Your Ma’ speaks both poetically and directly about Kelly meeting his first wife Hilary; ‘I Can’t Believe We Were Married’ looks at that former marriage from the distance that time offers; and ‘Love is the Law’ is a paraphrase of 1 Corinthians 13, the famous biblical verse often used at weddings: ‘If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.’ Both his former wives are interviewed in the film, and they suggest that Kelly’s desire to dig into what he sees as the fullness of love was difficult at times for them to handle.
