    Finding Solutions National Council of Women Australia Triennial Conference Program Canberra ACT 17, 18, 19 October 2018 Welcome National President’s Welcome This is a very exciting conference with delegates from NCW Constituent Councils, Associate and Affiliates members from all around Australia including members of the National Council of Young Women of Australia. I am also very happy to welcome members of the public, government representatives and other interested people. The first NCWA conference was held in Melbourne in November 1932 with May Moss as President, after the establishment of the NCWA in 1931. The NCWA had been envisaged as an umbrella organisation to speak to government with one voice on Federal issues on behalf of the women of Australia. I am proud to say we are still doing that today as we agree on our resolutions to take to the Federal Government, along with the outcomes from the conference. This Conference builds on the NCWA Mid Term Conference where we examined the root causes of violence against women and homelessness for older women. This Triennial Conference provides us with the opportunity to take that knowledge further and work towards finding solutions to these very vexed and intractable problems. NCWA is delighted to have some of Australia’s leading experts in the field at the Triennial Conference, including the Minister for Women, other Members of Federal Parliament and academics who will provoke and challenge our thinking. There is a mix of speakers, panels and a Q&A session to inform us. There are breaks where we have time to gather our thoughts and have table discussions about the issues and come forward with ideas for solutions to the problems.

  • NSW Shines in Paralympic Medal Tally
    NSW shines in Paralympic medal tally 30 September 2008 Premier Nathan Rees today congratulated New South Wales’ Paralympic athletes who returned from Beijing with an impressive 48 medals. The Premier said we should all be proud of the 37 athletes from NSW who contributed to Australia’s final tally of 79 medals. “Not only are they world class athletes but they are outstanding role models for us all,” Mr Rees said. “NSW athletes returned with 16 gold, 18 silver and 14 bronze medals,” he said. The Paralympic team featured two of New South Wales’ Don’t DIS my ABILITY ambassadors – Athletics gold medallist Kurt Fearnley from Carcoar and Beacon Hill medal- winning cyclist Lindy Hou. “As ambassadors, Kurt Fearnley and Lindy Hou spread the message that people with a disability can lead everyday lives,” Mr Rees said. “They – like their team mates returning from Beijing – are an inspiration to others. “Every person who competed in the Paralympics returns to Australia a winner and an ambassador for people with a disability. “Their hard work, sacrifice and determination have been rewarded as they compete with the best athletes in the world.” Minister for Disability Services Paul Lynch said the Paralympians were an inspiration to the State’s 1.3 million people living with a disability. “People with a disability can do anything – the efforts of our Paralympians are proof of that,” Mr Lynch said. Minister for Sport and Recreation Kevin Greene said the New South Wales Institute of Sport had played a role in supporting the 36 athletes. “The Institute has been part of the Paralympic journey, providing scholarships and programs to give our athletes the support they need to perform to their capacity on the world stage,” Mr Greene said.

  • Global Media Journal - Australian Edition - Volume 3 Issue 2 2009
    Global Media Journal - Australian Edition - Volume 3 Issue 2 2009 ‘Not Wrong for Long’: the Role and Penetration of News Wire Agencies in the 24/7 News Landscape Assoc Prof Jane Johnston – Bond University, Australia Dr Susan Forde – Griffith University, Australia Abstract This paper examines the role of Australia’s single news agency, Australian Associated Press (AAP), in the Australian news media landscape. Specifically, we examine the prevalence of AAP copy in the ‘Breaking News’ sections of two major news websites in an effort to create a preliminary understanding of the impact of AAP on Australian news content. The results suggest an overwhelming reliance on copy from not just AAP, but international news agencies, in major news websites. Increasingly, the need for large volumes of news copy, coupled with the need for that copy to be published online as soon as possible, would appear to be having a significant impact on the type and depth of news covered. The paper and its associated data-gathering techniques form part of a much broader examination of the role of AAP in Australian journalism, and particularly the evolving role of AAP and other wire services as a source or origin for news stories in an increasingly 24/7 news environment where the pressure to be first may be overriding the pressure to be right (Gawenda & Muller, 2009). Introduction It was called an “elaborate hoax” by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s Media Watch program: a fake press release which announced that former US president George Bush Snr. would attend an international conference at the Sydney Opera House on September 30, 2005.

  • A Comparative Study of Bolivian Indigenous and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ Resistance
    Battles for Indigenous self-determination in the neoliberal period: a comparative study of Bolivian Indigenous and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ resistance. Rachel Lorraine Evans A thesis submitted for the Masters of Research degree at Sydney University in 2019 Faculty of Social Sciences 1 Abstract ___________________________________________ This comparative study will analyse Bolivia’s revolutionary process and Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander resistance movements to assess the Indigenous empowerment model. It will seek to ascertain whether an exchange would benefit both struggles. Bolivian President Evo Morales, an Indigenous Aymara, is widely recognised as leading a fight against neoliberalism, with a ‘cultural, democratic revolution’. The country, with 42% of people identifying as Indigenous (Fontana 2013, para 3), appears to be formalising Indigenous land rights through a ‘plurinational constitution’ (Burbach, Fox, Fuentes, 2013, p. 80), within an anti-capitalist rubric. Other revolutionary governments in the region — Venezuela, Ecuador, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Cuba — are challenging neoliberalism, but Bolivia seems to be uniquely placed to showcase elements within an Indigenous self-determination model. In comparison, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Australia are a minority population of 2.8% (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2017, para 1), living within a settler colonial state, having survived British invasion of their lands. They have waged heroic battles for land rights and won 33% of their land back from the settler state (Altman, 2014, para 8). However, showing the strength of the colonial project, the majority of land to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders is in remote and arid lands not suitable for agricultural production.

It is also great to see so many new players joining the league and we are sure that their experience will be valuable as well as fun. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our Wheelchair Sports Associations for their ongoing supports of the WNWBL. Thank you also to the players, coaches, officials, and volunteers who continue to commit to this league and a big welcome to those players and team staff joining us for the first time this season.
