The University of Melbourne celebrated the official opening of the Ian Potter Southbank Centre on Saturday, June 1. As a long-awaited addition to our world- class Arts Precinct, the occasion marked a significant milestone for both the university and for Melbourne, with the $109 million facility providing the new home for the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music (MCM). And as if the unveiling wasn’t enough, the university also announced on the day that it had struck a new $1 million partnership with the Australian Chamber Orchestra (ACO), in a move that gives staff and students unparalleled education and research opportunities.

  • Dear President Kroger and Fellow Victorian Liberal Party Administrative Committee Members (And a Few Others on BCC), As You
    From: Stephen Mayne [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, 2 August 2018 4:31 PM To: '[email protected]' Cc: '[email protected]' Subject: Decision to be taken at Admin Committee tonight Dear President Kroger and fellow Victorian Liberal Party Administrative Committee members (and a few others on BCC), As you may be aware by now, the following story appeared in Crikey today about your meeting tonight. A text version is reproduced below if you are unable to get past the paywall. Also relevant is this earlier story which appeared in The Manningham Leader on July 14, outlining the scenario that if Australia’s soon to be longest serving incumbent Federal MP, Kevin Andrews, is centrally endorsed in Menzies to serve for more than 30 years, I will run as an independent against him at the 2019 Federal election. Please note that my main interest in securing the departure of Kevin Andrews relates to his positions on gambling. Australians lose more per capita gambling than any other people on earth. The total losses will exceed $25 billion in 2018, which will cause enormous damage to families, along with more crime, family violence and suicide, not to mention the loss of potential revenue for small business which have to deal with $25 billion less circulating throughout the economy each year. I am a professional advocate for gambling reform and Mr Andrews was the shadow Minister who helped defeat the proposed Andrew Wilkie reforms to poker machines in 2011. Subsequent to that move, Mr Andrews has inappropriately accepted $40,000 in campaign donations from Clubs NSW, an organisation based in Sydney which operates as ruthlessly to promote gambling as the NRA does in relation to guns in the United States.

  • A TOOLKIT: How Carers in Victoria Can Advocate for Change
    A TOOLKIT: How carers in Victoria can advocate for change www.caringfairly.org.au Caring Fairly is represented in VIC by: www.facebook.com/caringfairlycampaign @caringfairly @caringfairly WHO WE ARE Caring Fairly is a national campaign led by unpaid carers and specialist organisations that support and advocate for their rights. Launched in August 2018 and coordinated by Mind Australia, Caring Fairly is led by a coalition of over 25 carer support organisations, NGOs, peak bodies, and carers themselves. In Victoria, Caring Fairly is represented by Carers Victoria, and Tandem Inc. We need your support, and invite you to join the Caring Fairly coalition. Caring Fairly wants: • A fairer deal for Australia’s unpaid carers • Better economic outcomes for people who devote their time to supporting and caring for their loved ones • Government policies that help unpaid carers balance paid work and care, wherever possible • Politicians to understand what’s at stake for unpaid carers going into the 2019 federal election To achieve this, we need your help. WHY WE ARE TAKING ACTION Unpaid carers are often hidden from view in Australian politics. There are almost 2.7 million unpaid carers nationally. Over 850,000 people in Australia are the primary carer to a loved one with disability. Many carers, understandly, don’t identify as a ‘carer’. Caring Fairly wants visibility for Australia’s unpaid carers. We are helping to build a new social movement in Australia to achieve this. Unpaid carers prop up Australian society. Like all Australians, unpaid carers have a right to a fair and decent quality of life.

  • Open-Letter-To-Minister-Alan-Tudge
    Hon. Alan Tudge MP Acting Minister of Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs 12 November 2020 Dear Minister Tudge, This letter is to request your Government take immediate steps towards addressing Senator Eric Abetz’s conduct during the Senate Hearing held on Wednesday, 14 October 2020 on Issues facing Diaspora Communities, where he explicitly asked the only three Chinese Australian witnesses - Osmond Chiu (Research Fellow, Per Capita Think Tank), Yun Jiang (Editor, The China Story) and Wesa Chau (Deputy Lord Mayor Candidate, City of Melbourne) to "unequivocally condemn" the Chinese Communist Party. No other witnesses were questioned in this manner. The three witnesses made separate submissions to the inquiry on different topics.To single out and question, three Chinese Australian witnesses on the basis of their Chinese heritage is essentially “loyalty testing” their allegiances.
