    Submission 014 PO Box 4773, Kingston ACT 2604 Old Parliament House, King George Terrace, Parkes, ACT 2600 TEL 6126273 9200 EMAil [email protected] WEB www.reconciliation.org.au Secretary of the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs House of Representatives PO Box 6021 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 26 October 2012 Dear Committee Members, Re: Inquiry into the contribution of sport to Indigenous wellbeing and mentoring Introduction Reconciliation Australia is the national organisation building and promoting reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the broader Australian community. We strongly believe that: Australia can build a more inclusive society that better understands and values the history, culture, rights and contribution of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Stronger relationships, built on shared knowledge and respect, are key to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders controlling their life choices and participating fully in the economic and social opportunities enjoyed by the wider community. In a reconciled Australia, the success of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people will not be seen as extraordinary. This in turn benefits all Australians in real economic and social terms, and in terms of our national confidence and reputation. To achieve this, Reconciliation Australia aims to improve relationships and generate greater respect and equality between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and

  • THE MAKING of the NEWCASTLE INDUSTRIAL HUB 1915 to 1950
    THE MAKING OF THE NEWCASTLE INDUSTRIAL HUB 1915 to 1950 Robert Martin Kear M.Bus. (University of Southern Queensland) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of a Master of Philosophy in History January 2018 This research was supported by an Australian Government Research Training Program (RTP) Scholarship STATEMENT OF ORIGINALITY I hereby certify that the work embodied in the thesis is my own work, conducted under normal supervision. The thesis contains no material which has been accepted, or is being examined, for the award of any other degree or diploma in any other university or other tertiary institution and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference has been made in the text. I give consent to the final version of my thesis being made available worldwide when deposited in the University’s Digital Repository, subject to the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968 and any approved embargo. Robert Kear ii ABSTRACT Aim of this Thesis The aim of this thesis is to chart the formation of the Newcastle Industrial Hub and to identify the men who controlled it, in its journey from Australian regional obscurity before 1915, to be the core of Australian steel manufacturing and technological development by 1950. This will be achieved through an examination of the progressive and consistent application of strategic direction and the adoption of manufacturing technologies that progressively lowered the manufacturing cost of steel. This thesis will also argue that, coupled with tariff and purchasing preferences assistance, received from all levels of government, the provision of integrated logistic support services from Newcastle’s public utilities and education services underpinned its successful commercial development.

  • Conclusion and Key Issues
    Conclusion and Key Issues port has long played an important social and cultural role in Australia. It provides a form of social glue which binds communities and creates a broader, more unified society. Sport has enriched the Australian language and added to its humour. It has S 1 developed a rich celebrity culture as well as revered sites and traditions. To many, sport is everything. The legendary Liverpool (UK) football manager Bill Shankly once remarked: “Some people think football is a matter of life and death . I can assure them that it is much more serious that that”.2 And in Australia such a sentiment often seems very true. Take, for instance, the most mentioned media items recorded by Media Monitors during 3–9 July 2006: the FIFA World Cup drew 19,330 mentions; the Wimbledon tennis tournament scored 14,648; there were 8,774 mentions about the State of Origin rugby league final; followed by 8,072 mentions regarding North Korea test firing seven long-range missiles which sparked world-wide condemnation. At times, sport can eclipse everything else in this country.3 But why do people choose to participate in one sport over another? The answers to this are as diverse as the number of sporting activities in this country; people’s choices are influenced by their parents, their friends, access and barriers to different sports, cost, physical attributes, and the list goes on. But there is one constant when it comes to sport – if participants find involvement in their sport of choice enjoyable and fulfilling then they will be more likely to continue into their adult lives.

  • Legislative Assembly
    7168 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Wednesday 9 November 2011 __________ The Speaker (The Hon. Shelley Elizabeth Hancock) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. The Speaker read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country. AUDITOR-GENERAL'S REPORT The Clerk announced the receipt, pursuant to section 63C of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983, of the report of the Auditor-General for 2011, volume five, received 9 November 2011. SPORTING VENUES AUTHORITIES AMENDMENT (VENUES NSW) BILL 2011 Agreement in Principle Debate resumed from 19 October 2011. Mr TIM OWEN (Newcastle) [10.02 a.m.]: I support the Sporting Venues Authorities (Venues NSW) Amendment Bill 2011, which was introduced by the great Minister for Sport and Recreation, who is seated at the table. The bill delivers key elements of the Government's policy agenda for building stronger, healthier and more engaged communities. Quite simply, the bill makes sense. Sport and entertainment are at the forefront of bringing regional communities together in good times and in bad. Sporting and entertainment venues—at which one cheers on the local under sevens, has the chance to see a major international performer without having to travel to Sydney, or watches the local footy team beat the opposing side—are the lifeblood of regional communities. The government-owned venues in my electorate that will come under Venues NSW include Ausgrid Stadium, the Newcastle Entertainment Centre and Newcastle Showground, as well as a number of other venues currently managed by the Hunter Region Sporting Venues Authority. The bill is focused on achieving the best performance of these venues for the people of Newcastle.

  • Fair Go’ Principle Which Suggests That Everyone Is Entitled to Fairness by Way of Shared Opportunity – Such As with Education, Health, Social Security, and So On
    Australian society has long been imbued with a ‘fair go’ principle which suggests that everyone is entitled to fairness by way of shared opportunity – such as with education, health, social security, and so on. For advocates, this mantra underpins a society that, while unequal, is not characterized by vast differences in wealth and living standards (Herscovitch, 2013). To critics, though, the ‘fair go’ notion is either idealistic or completely unrealistic, as well as a distraction from entrenched differences of opportunity and power in Australian society (Lawrence, 2017). For Indigenous Australians, the notion of a ‘fair go’ in a society in which generations of Aboriginal peoples have suffered manifestly is particularly fraught (Tatz, 2017).1 Even the semantics of a ‘fair go’ can be construed as discriminatory by way of ‘race’:2 for example, ‘fairness’ has long focused on opportunities for fair skinned (i.e. White) Australians (Fotinopoulos, 2017). Revelations that in many parts of Australia during the early to mid-late twentieth century, Aboriginal children were forcibly removed from families and placed in foster care – under the guise of welfare – prompted a report into what became known as the Stolen Generations (Murphy, 2011). In 2008, the Federal Government issued a national apology and committed to a reconciliation process. This includes ‘closing the gap’ initiatives featuring twin efforts: to help all Australians come to terms with a harrowing history of racial discrimination and conflict, and to catalyze improvements to the lives of Aboriginal peoples (Gunstone, 2017; Kowal, 2015). In this article we are interested in the question of a ‘fair go’ for Indigenous peoples, particularly the role of Aboriginal voices in seeking to (re)shape symbols of identity, representation, and nationality.
