Close of AGM Meeting closed at 4.30pm. 4 Annual Report 2014 - 2015 | Shelter SA Chair’s Report I am delighted to present the 2015 Shelter SA Annual Report, my first as the Chairperson of Shelter SA. Shelter SA’s past year has been one of very positive outcomes and innovation. In a complex and rapidly changing housing environment, the Board set itself a key objective of better supporting and enabling our excellent operational team to perform their important work. This has been a year of important achievements for Shelter SA, for which the credit and thanks go to our Executive Director, Dr Alice Clark and her colleagues, Amanda Taylor and Sean Sheehy. Alice, Amanda and Sean have delivered a year of new initiatives, positive outcomes and forged stronger networks with our key stakeholders. We were pleased to welcome Andris Banders to Shelter SA to undertake special project work (on a contract basis) in relation to some important emerging issues such as Social Investment Bonds. This year Alice and her team have tirelessly informed, advised, and advocated on important housing issues. They have posted and shared stories and information about housing using social media to more effectively reach a broader audience. Over the past 12 months, the team has raised community awareness about housing and homelessness by producing radio shows, creating YouTube clips, conducting community forums and engaging with mainstream media. Most importantly they have worked closely with Minister Zoe Bettison and her staff, Shadow Minister Rachel Sanderson and other key supporters to help shape government housing policy and direction. Shelter SA is strongly positioned to move ahead and the Board has made significant improvements to various aspects of organisational governance. We have re-structured our financial processes and appointed a new book-keeper and made budget provisions to resource some important special project work, and broaden the strategic focus of Shelter SA. This year we welcomed new Board members Paul Astley, Fiona Kelly (Uniting Care Wesley Bowden) and Professor Andrew Beer (Centre for Housing, Urban and Regional Planning, University of Adelaide). They have contributed their skills which include governance, corporate business, financial expertise, community and housing sector experience and knowledge, and I am looking forward to continuing to work with them over the coming year. I also acknowledge the invaluable contributions of the other Board members who have served during the past year.

  • Labor Bid to Release Secret Documents Over $2.57M Henry Keogh Payout
    Labor bid to release secret documents over $2.57m Henry Keogh payout The extraordinary release of confidential documents about murder suspect Henry Keogh’s $2.57m taxpayer-funded payout is being urged by Labor as part of a bid to wound the Liberal minority government. In a ploy to leverage the newly empowered crossbenchers, Labor government accountability spokesman Tom Koutsantonis has notified parliament of a move to release four sets of documents, including Cabinet-in-confidence material. Covering topics calculated to appeal to the crossbenchers, the documents involve the Keogh payout, Brighton Rd,/Hove grade separation, rail outsourcing and Waite Gatehouse demolition. Mr Koutsantonis is trying to convince the five crossbenchers, including three former Liberals, to back the four motions and test parliament’s powers to force the documents’ release. Narungga MP Fraser Ellis, whose crossbench defection in February plunged the Liberals into minority, declared he would consider all motions put to parliament if they benefited his constituents. Other crossbenchers said the gatehouse issue would be discussed but stressed they wanted to co-operate with the government rather than be obstructionist. Mr Koutsantonis said he did not believe the public service advised Attorney-General Vickie Chapman to issue the $2.57m payout in 2018 to mitigate financial risk to the state from Mr Keogh’s wrongful murder conviction. Mr Keogh, who was released from prison in 2014 following an appeal, remains the sole suspect in the 1994 death of his then-fiancee, Anna- Jane Cheney. When prosecutors opted not to try him a third time, the State Government awarded him the $2.57 million taxpayer-funded payout for his 21 years in prison.
