The study was conducted by Dr. Caroline Symons and Ms Melissa Sbaraglia from the School of Sport and Exercise and the Institute of Sport, Exercise and Active Living at Victoria University, and Associate Professor Anne Mitchell and Dr. Lynne Hillier from Gay and Lesbian Health Victoria and the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society, La Trobe University. The community organisation Challenging Homophobia in Sport Initiative (CHISI), which is a sub- committee of Queer Sport Alliance Melbourne (QSAM), and is composed of representatives from Victoria University, Gay and Lesbian Health Victoria, Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission, the RJMTrust, Transgender Victoria and the ALSO Foundation played a central role in this research project. CHISI was involved in the original research design, funding submissions and consulted on survey design, key questions, language used and piloting of the survey. Many of those who helped with the development of the survey also assisted with recruiting participants through their networks. Special mention should go to Dennis Hemphill, Jason Rostant, Kenton Miller, Daniel Witthaus, Sally Goldner, Jim Buckell, Malcolm Campbell, Chloe McCarthy, Rob Mitchell, and to Shelley Maher from VicHealth, for their most valuable input into a number of vital facets of this research project. Special thanks also go to Tim Spratling who built the survey for us in Demographix, and to Sunil Patel, who designed the survey recruitment cards and cover of this report. We are especially indebted to the survey participants who shared their sporting experiences so generously with the project.

In the spirit of a tough sporting challenge, the 2009 Pacific Mini Games presented numerous obstacles for the Cook Islands, its people, and Government. And although the early path to ‘victory’ was very much an uphill battle I am pleased to say that those faced with the task of producing these Games did not shy away from the jobs at hand. Of course, those jobs were many and everyone from the tireless volunteers to the relentless efforts of the organisers are deserving of high praise. In the aftermath of such a major event, particularly for a small island nation like ours, the focus often falls on the nature of ‘how’ and ‘why’ we struggled with certain difficulties.

A draft paper was discussed at the executive committee meeting of ICEVI held in Kuala Lumpur in 2004 and it was refined on the basis of the suggestions of the members. In the process, the paper also accommodated ideas of the joint educational policy statement of the ICEVI and World Blind Union and also the joint educational policy of the CBM and Sight Savers. ICEVI took the lead to prepare the draft INGO strategy paper on education to increase the services to children with visual impairment at the country levels. Leading organisations such as the World Blind Union, CBM, Sight Savers International, Norwegian Assoiciation for the Blind and Partially Sighted, Overbrook School for the Blind, Perkins School for the Blind, Foundation Dark and Light Blindcare, etc., along with ICEVI will be meeting in Madrid in late 2005 to chalk out detailed plans of action to take this EFA campaign to the grassroot levels. The summary of the draft paper circulated to the international umbrella organisations and also to the Non-Governmental Development Organisations is presented here for the benefit of the readers of The Educator.

To the extent that sport becomes captive to political corruption, it becomes an instrument to prop up tyrannies and to undermine the rule of law. Accordingly, there is a global public interest in establishing independent, democratic oversight of sport organisations\' compliance with legal and ethical standards. -- Abstract: The Global Organization of Parliamentarians Against Corruption (GOPAC) is a worldwide association of legislators who have come together to combat corruption, strengthen democracy, and uphold the rule of law. We have sixty national chapters and individual members in almost every parliament of the world. Historically, we have focussed on issues such as anti-money laundering, anti-corruption in public procurement, and anti-kleptocracy at the highest levels of the state. In recent years, however, we have become increasingly involved in the struggle for sport integrity.
