The work of St John internationally Internationally, St John continues to make great strides in meeting the needs of the sick and the suffering through first aid, healthcare and support services in over 40 countries around the world. At this year’s Grand Council it was agreed that Kenya should be established as a Priory (in December 2013) and that Singapore (in January 2014), Hong Kong and Malaysia start moving towards full Priory status.

Strengthening the Order I have been in my role with St John for over a year now and have been humbled by the reception I have been given as I’ve travelled around the country meeting many of our wonderful people.

  • CHANCELLOR, I Have the Honour to Present to You for the Award of The
    CHANCELLOR, I have the honour to present to you for the award of the degree of Doctor of Economics, Honoris Causa, Dr Neil Raymond Conn, Officer of the Order of Australia. Dr. Conn was born in Sydney in 1936. He attended several schools in northern and western New South Wales before studying at the University of Sydney, from which he received, firstly, a Bachelor of Economics degree, with first class Honours in Economic Statistics, and then the degree of Master of Economics. Between 1961 and 1975 he lectured in Economics at the University of Sydney. During this period his talents were recognised and sought by external organisations, and he was seconded for a total of two years’ service in the Commonwealth Treasury and the Commonwealth Department of Secondary Industry. He also spent one year as the James B. Duke Fellow at Duke University in the United States, where he won his Doctorate in Economics, and gained membership of the elite academic society Phi Beta Kappa. Dr. Conn left academia in 1975, to work for two years as Principal Administrator, Growth Studies Division, at the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development in Paris. In this role he significantly increased the profile of Australia and Australians in the context of discussions and decisions about international economic affairs. He returned to Sydney to become Deputy Secretary of the New South Wales Treasury for several years. In 1981 he came to the Northern Territory to become our Under Treasurer. He held that position until 1983, when he went back to Sydney to work for a Canadian owned merchant bank.

  • Report on the Inquiry Into the Implications of Removing Refundable Franking Credits
    The Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia Report on the inquiry into the implications of removing refundable franking credits House of Representatives Standing Committee on Economics April 2019 Canberra © Commonwealth of Australia 2019 ISBN 978-1-76092-005-0 (Printed version) ISBN 978-1-76092-006-7 (HTML version) This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial- NoDerivs 3.0 Australia License. The details of this licence are available on the Creative Commons website: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/au/. Foreword On 19 September 2018, the Treasurer, the Hon Josh Frydenberg, MP, referred to the committee an inquiry into the removal of refundable franking credits. The Treasurer asked the committee to inquire into and report on the implications of removing refundable franking credits and, in particular, the stress and complexity it will cause for Australians, including older Australians who will be impacted in their retirement. The public response to the inquiry has been extraordinary. The committee held a series of 19 public hearings across the country to allow Australians to have their say in light of a policy proposed to be introduced on 1 July 2019. These hearings were very well attended – often exceeding 300 people. A total of 1777 submissions were published and many more documents were received that could not be published by the time the committee reported. While the participation in the inquiry was high, worryingly the evidence suggests that many people at risk of being impacted from a policy change are unaware of the proposal that could result in them losing a third of their income.
