June 23, 2012 - Newcastle Event Report Thankyou for an extremely inspiring day. The various contributions were all excellent and came together as a most moving and powerful day.

Congratulations to all the organisers and thank you - it was a privilege to be a part of it. Robyn Warner Causley: Walk Together Attendee EVENT SUMMARY On June 23, 2012 at 1pm, 350 Novocastrians took part in the inaugural Walk Together event beginning at Central Promenade Newcastle and ending at the Newcastle Maritime Centre in Honeysuckle, with a small festival celebrating the diverse cultures that make up the Australian experience. Walk Together also took place in 10 capital cities and several regional cities around the nation and was a very successful day, with over 10,000 people in attendance across the nation. Walk Together Newcastle was a celebration of all that diversity adds to our society, culture and community as we recognised that we have all walked different paths to become part of the combined Australian journey. It gave everyone in the community—long-term Australians, Indigenous Australians, refugees, migrants, international students and all other Australian citizens—the chance to welcome the latest arrivals to our community and to demonstrate our support for its beautiful multicultural reality. So proud to be a part of such a great day, congratulations. I can’t wait for next year’s Walk Together event! Luke Pearson - Aboriginal Educator OBJECTIVES Walk Together exists to call out the best in the Australian character, our inclusive, generous, compassionate and welcoming nature in a large demonstration of the nation we'd like to become. Through the event itself and the subsequent media coverage we hope that this initiative promoted the positive impacts of living in a diverse society. We also hope that new arrivals to Newcastle will know that there were 350 Novocastrians who came together for the event who want to help them thrive here in Newcastle and enjoy the freedom and peace they have come here for. Today makes me feel welcome and a part of the Newcastle community. Newcastle is my home and my refuge. Today I am a proud African Australian. Jerome Rugaruza - Former Refugee KEYNOTE SPEAKERS AND EVENT HIGHLIGHTS Those who attended Walk Together heard powerful insights and testimonies from Novocastrians such as Awabakal Elder, Aunty Sandra Griffin, Therese Doyle from the Refugee Action Network Newcastle, Jerome Rugaruza from Africa Australia Alliance for Peace and Reconciliation, Luke Pearson an Aboriginal Educator, Councillor Michael Osbourne from Newcastle City Council and Kwabo Batende from Northern Settlement Services and the Grainery Christian Network. Those in attendance and those who were dining or enjoying the sun in the Honeysuckle precinct were also treated to an awesome community festival featuring the Nguarra Bu Aboriginal dancers, the Congolese Karibu Gospel Choir and local African singer songwriter, Berias Masseque. Special thanks to the team of incredible volunteers who made the day successful including Jo McGregor, Nicole Molyneux, Julie Marsh, Graeme Marsh, Stephen Bonamy, Victoria Bonamy, Rick McCann, Geoff Foster and Nathan Notley. Many stories, one community. It was such a great turn out of people making a statement that refugees are welcome in Newcastle. Michael Osborne: Councillor - Newcastle City Council MEDIA AND MARKETING Walk Together gained strong media exposure prior to the event with 9% of attendees hearing about the event through press ads and radio interviews. The event also received coverage on NBN TV News and in the Newcastle Herald post the event. Thanks to Andrew and family for organising the wonderful “Walk Together” on Saturday. I loved the dancers and singers and especially hearing Jerome’s story. Let’s do it again next year!

  • Hunter Estuary Landmark Dates

    Hunter Estuary Landmark Dates

    CRITICAL EVENTS AND DEVELOPMENT AFFECTING THE HUNTER ESTUARY SINCE 1970 Max Maddock Updated 30 December 2003 During January – February 2002, the community was made aware of proposals for industrial development in the Hunter Estuary by a series of articles in the Newcastle Herald. The proposed developments have the potential to destroy the estuary as a migratory wader habitat and as a Wetland of International Importance listed as a Ramsar site under the Ramsar Convention. They will have serious adverse effects on the complex ecology of the whole of the estuary and associated flood plain wetlands, resulting in changes to flood regime and damage to the fishing industry. In February 2003, during a pre-election visit by the Premier of NSW to Newcastle a concept plan for development of the port environs of the Hunter Estuary (KBR 2003), with even worse potential impacts, was released. Community consultation on the plan was promised. This document gives an analysis of historical events and documents relevant to developments and proposals for developments in the Hunter Estuary for the period 1970-2003. A summary of critical landmarks leading up to the recent industrial development proposals and the Newcastle Port Environs Concept Proposal and subsequent events, is given in the Appendix. The list is by no means exhaustive, but provides an insight into critical issues associated with the proposals. Government Environmental Policies, Acts and Legislation Both the NSW and Federal Governments have developed a set of key policies, Acts and legislation governing decision making on development proposals in wetland settings. In issues associated with wetlands of international importance, the State Government is bound to comply with the Federal requirements in addition to its own requirements, ensuring Ecologically Sustainable Development has been accepted by both governments as the fundamental underlying principle guiding assessment of development proposals.

In a society where most of the people live in poverty, the principle that 'more is better' applies. However, when a society becomes affluent this is no longer the case. Many of our problems originate in the fact that some people have not yet grasped this simple truth. One of the problems emanating from this state of affairs is the depletion of natural resources and the pollution of our land, air and water. This book gives a brief account of some of the groups who have attempted to restore a balance, or sanity, into the debate about where we, as a society, are heading.
