  • 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.

Confirmation of Minutes of February 2011 Meeting: Accepted: Jan Petrie Seconded: Dugald Holmes Matters Arising from February 2011 Meeting: No matters were raised by members. President’s Report (Mr Darryl Johnston): President, Darryl Johnston presented the following Report: “Welcome to another meeting of the Tuggeranong Community Council. Much has been going on behind the scenes this past month. The TCC Executive has engaged local firm and one of our supporters, Sozo, to design a new TCC website. It will remain at the same address and TCC Executive members will, with a bit of training, manage the site. It is envisaged that the new website will have a new look and feel and will be easier to navigate and access information, especially for the disabled and those unfamiliar with the web. At the last TCC Executive meeting, Executive members were further briefed on proposals for the development of land opposite Bunnings. It is proposed to site housing for more than 2,000 new residents and develop a café/restaurant strip on the lake shores. The TCC plans to host a special public meeting in early April on this issue and the Tuggeranong/Erindale Master Plans. I hope that you have all received a copy of the Tuggeranong Community Council’s new newsletter, Valley Voice. It is the first in what I hope will be one of many issues to come.

  • YRA President's Report (19 September 2017)
    PRESIDENT’S REPORT ‐ YARRALUMLA RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION Annual General Meeting 19 September 2017 The YRA started the same year as Floriade, so we will be 30 next year. We had 150 financial members at the end of June 2017 including household members and individual members. If we assume 2 members for each household, we had 256 members at the end of June 2017. The YRA is represented by a committee of up to 13 members. We had a change in the committee following the last AGM. Former President Robyn Cooper stepped down in late 2016, but we were pleased to welcome Marea Fatseas back. I would like to thank Robyn for her contribution to the YRA over many years. The YRA is fortunate to have a very strong committee. Past President Marea Fatseas, our treasurer David Johnston, Paul Flanagan and myself have represented the YRA on the Brickworks Community Panel since it started in November 2015. Margaret Pentony was also an alternate member of the panel up until the most recent stage. Vice President Mike Lewis and our Public Officer Diana Wright have been willing and able to look at some other issues affecting Yarralumla that would have been overlooked otherwise. All committee members have contributed in their own way and I thank them all. It is important to remember that the YRA is a volunteer organisation and everyone contributes to the extent they are able. We unfortunately do not have the capacity to deal with all the issues, but we try our hardest. I would also like to point out that some of us have day jobs and active social lives.

  • The Old Sheep Camp on Mount Majura
    The Old Sheep Camp on Mount Majura Research on the history of the site and a management plan for its rehabilitation. By William Mudford Venturer Scout at Majura Mountain Scouts Research assisted by Waltraud Pix Co-ordinator of Friends of Mount Majura Park Care Group William Mudford’s Queen Scout Environment Project on Mount Majura Sheep Camp: Page 1 Introduction Mount Majura is located in the North of the Australian Capital Territory. A majority of Mount Majura is currently run as a Nature Reserve. Many parts of the reserve have infestations of non- indigenous plants, or weeds, because of prior land use and farming practices. One particular site, at the top of the Casuarina trail, on the saddle between Mount Majura and Mount Ainslie, known as the “Old Sheep Camp” is particularly infested with weeds. In my project I investigated the history of the site, the reasons for the weed infestation and the methods of rehabilitation the local park care group have available to them, and are utilising. This project seeks to answer the following questions about the site: 1. Who owned and managed the area and how was it used before it became a Nature Reserve? 2. What are the reasons for the heavy weed infestation on the site? 3. What processes and procedures can the local environment group use to rehabilitate the area?

  • 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
