Conference Program 30 April – 01 May 2021 Culture Conduct Retention Conference Program Culture, Conduct and Retention Acknowledgement of Country Yarra City Council acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people as the Traditional Owners and true sovereigns of the land now known as Yarra. We also acknowledge the significant contributions made by other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to life in Yarra. We pay our respects to Elders from all nations here today— and to their Elders past, present and future. Whether you’re a visitor, resident or teacher, our Aboriginal History of Yarra website provides a range of ways for you to learn more about our local history. Here, you will find downloadable local history publications, teaching resources, videos, and a map of significant sites in the area. We encourage you to visit, learn, engage and refer it on to other interested people. https://aboriginalhistoryofyarra.com.au/ City of Yarra Mayor’s Welcome It’s our great honour to host the ALGWA Vic conference in the City of Yarra this year. I hope you all feel very welcome. Yarra has a proud history of elevating women in leadership. In 1920, Mary Rogers was elected to City of Richmond Council as the first female elected to any tier of Government in Victoria. This is a legacy that continues through to today. I am joined by five other diverse women representing Yarra as Councillors. It’s rare to see this type of majority representation in Australian governments, and it’s something we’re very proud of. As a city, we are committed to equality and empowerment for people of all genders, cultures, and abilities. Forums like this help us have brave conversations about the important role of women – and indeed diversity – in local government and politics. May we continue to support and elevate women in all areas of life. Cr Gabrielle de Vietri Mayor of Yarra Culture, Conduct and Retention ALGWA Vic President’s Welcome The Australian Local Government Women’s Association Victorian Branch is excited to have Yarra City Council host our 2021 Annual State Conference. This year, our theme is “culture, conduct and retention: the next 100 years of women in local government”. This could not be more appropriate for us all, as we build the foundations of our next four years – and indeed the next hundred – in local government. Culture is so important in any workplace, and starts with us all as individuals. It’s with culture that we set the tone for our next four years together. Conduct provides a basis for positive culture, and we can’t underestimate how important this is in today’s environment. In light of the Gender Equality Act, respectful relationships are a significant part of conduct. And finally, retention. Positive conduct and culture provide the strong foundations that lead to retention. Retention is vital in achieving a 50-50 gender balance by 2025. We look forward to an action-packed conference as we unpack this theme, and help each other plan for the coming years. Cr Kylie Spears President ALGWA Vic Mayor of Maroondah City Council Mary Rogers City of Yarra is proud to commemorate the Centenary of the election of Mary Rogers to the City of Richmond Council in 1920. Mary Rogers was the first female elected to any tier of Government in Victoria and one of the first women to be appointed as a Justice of the Peace in Victoria. Mary was born in Richmond and lived all her life here in the heart of Yarra. Mary became active in the Australian Labor Party, and was appointed secretary and later president of the Women Office Cleaners’ Union. In 1920, Mary became Victoria’s first female Local Government councillor (and second in Australia), when she was elected to Richmond Council. Being a leading woman in a male dominated era was a very brave step and has helped pave the way for many other great female leaders in the sector. She was a passionate advocate for helping those in need. Mary led ground-breaking progress in welfare, education and family issues, initiating the very first community maternal and child health services in Victoria. And at a Trades Hall Council in 1923, she moved a resolution calling for equal pay for women. In 1928, Mary was one of the first women to be appointed a Justice of the Peace in Victoria and later was a special magistrate at the Children’s Court in Richmond. Mary was an extraordinary woman and we’re very proud to continue her legacy here in Yarra. You can see her commemorative plaque at the front of Richmond Town Hall.

I will try not to use my 2 minutes up. The CHAIR — You had better give us your name and address. Mr PETTINGILL — Andrew Pettingill from Gorae West, near Portland. I am a small farmer. I have the great displeasure of having the Alcoa line through my property. To imagine the level of hygiene which has totally been ignored makes me angry every time I think of it. Another matter which I would like you to consider is the statement in Lakes Oil’s prospectus which acknowledges its inability to be able to assess the potential ecological damage which may occur if fracking were to go ahead. That is about it. Thank you. The CHAIR — Thank you, sir. Mr PETTINGILL — If I were to sell my farm, there are various declarations that I am obliged to make under section 32. Am I obliged to acknowledge a PEP over that farm? The CHAIR — I am not sure of the answer to that, but we will seek some legal advice on it.

  • For VFBV District Councils
    For VFBV District Councils This list shows responses from Victorian State MPs to VFBV’s 11 June letter on the issue of presumptive legislation – the firefighters’ cancer law that would simplify the path to cancer compensation for Victorian volunteer and career firefighters. District Councils are encouraged to use this list as part of their planning to ensure that volunteers contact all State MPs in their area and seek their support on this important issue. See the VFBV website for more information on the issue, including a copy of our ‘Notes for MPs’ that volunteers can present to MPs. As at 22 August 2013; There has been strong support from the Greens, who have presented draft legislation to State Parliament, and in-principle support from Labor The Coalition Government has not committed to supporting presumptive legislation. VFBV is committed to working with all Victorian MPs to secure all-party support for fairer and simpler access to cancer compensation for Victorian volunteer and career firefighters and a part of that is having volunteers talk to their local MPs. See below for the response received from individual MPs, listed in alphabetical order. Please advise the VFBV office of any contacts made and responses from MPs. Name, Party and Electorate Have they replied to VFBV’s Summary of the MPs’ advice or actions letter of 11 June 2013? Jacinta Allan No Supportive: Yes. Labor Bendigo East Shadow Minister for Emergency Services Jacinta Allan issued a media release on 6 February 2013, calling for the State Government to take part in round table discussions and stating that Labor supports the principal of presumptive legislation and wants to work with all parties on progressing this Bill through Parliament.

  • Presiding Officers on Behalf of the House Committee Pdf 174.1 KB
    Mr Warren McCann Chair Victorian Independent Remuneration Tribunal Suite 1, Ground Floor, 1 Treasury Place EAST MELBOURNE VIC 3002 1 July 2020 Dear Mr McCann, Review of the Tribunal’s Members of Parliament Guidelines Thank you for the opportunity to provide a submission to the Tribunal’s review of the Members of Parliament (Victoria) Guidelines No. 2/2019 (“the Guidelines”). This is a submission on behalf of the Parliament’s House Committee. The House Committee is a cross-party committee established under the Parliamentary Committees Act 2003. Prior to the introduction of the Victorian Independent Remuneration Tribunal and Improving Parliamentary Standards Act 2019, the House Committee had a role in the development and adoption of guidelines (then known as the Members Guide) for the expenditure of Members’ electorate office and communications budgets. Following discussions of the House Committee, we submit the following issues, and the positions adopted by the committee on each issue, for your consideration. To be clear from the outset, this submission does not seek to increase Members’ budgets but rather suggests ways that existing resources can be used more effectively. Definition of ‘public duties’ You will recall that in a submission to the Tribunal dated 6 December 2019, the Speaker raised the matter of ensuring consistency between the Guidelines and the legislation, specifically as it related to the purpose of the Guidelines being to allow Members to communicate with their electorate in relation to the performance of their public duties. Whilst the Tribunal changed the Guidelines, feedback from Members and the Department of Parliamentary Services (in carrying out the duties of the Relevant Officer) is that the extent of the term ‘public duties’ should be clarified in the Guidelines.
