She has worked all over Australia and came back to Brisbane where she found her way into the soft, warm arms of 612 ABC Brisbane. Starting her ABC career with a stint in News Radio in 1999, Kelly was picked up by the radio newsroom where she spent five years wonderful years as a journalist, senior sub-editor and newsreader. She was offered the statewide Afternoons program in 2004, moved to 612 ABC Brisbane Drive in 2006 and is now back on her home turf of Afternoons. Kelly can be heard on 612 ABC Brisbane and ABC Coast FM from 1-3pm weekdays. " I relish what I do because I'm able to explore the issues of the day with the major players, and then to open up discussion with an audience that is opinionated, insightful and intelligent". Kathleen Noonan is a journalist and columnist. She writes the Last Word column in The Courier-Mail each Saturday, feature stories, and arts & music interviews and reviews. Born in north Queensland, Kathleen did her early reporting in the Mackay district, before moving to Brisbane. After working in South Africa through the dying years of apartheid, and a stint travelling and writing in the UK, Kathleen returned home, working as a freelance journalist for publications including The Australian Newspaper. She returned to The Courier-Mail as a senior features writer eight years ago. Her weekly column explores everything from love, death, books, running, music, poetry, refugees and chooks. Anything really. Kathleen is one of five sisters (and a brother), and has 2 teenage daughters. Professor Cindy Shannon is a descendant of the Ngugi People of Moreton Island. Cindy is the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Indigenous Education) at The University of Queensland. As the former Director of the Centre for Indigenous Health at UQ, Cindy guided the development and implementation of Australia’s first degree level program that specifically targeted Aboriginal health workers. Cindy also has an ongoing affiliation with the Institute of Urban Indigenous Health in South East Queensland. Cindy is a member of the National Health and Medical Research Council and chairs its Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Research Advisory Committee. She has also chaired the national Indigenous Australians’ Sexual Health Committee for 8years and now is chair of the Queensland Ministerial Advisory Committee on AIDS, Sexual Health and Hepatitis.

  • Celebrating Community Family - Parish - School
    Celebrating Community Family - Parish - School “Celebrating Community” in Catholic Education Week 2012 invites Catholic schools and education agencies to highlight and celebrate the value of “community” and affirm its presence as a central aspect of the life and strength of the Catholic Christian tradition. “Community” is at the heart of the Catholic tradition. For two thousand years people have come together in community to share the story of Jesus, to nurture and strengthen each other, and to commit themselves to continuing his mission. Our Catholic school philosophy embraces this sense of community, evidenced by the positive relationships which exist between families, parishes and schools. Activities and programs that nurture and develop these life-giving relationships permeate the life of the Catholic school and enrich the learning environment in which students and staff operate. True communities should also be outward focussed and recognise their valued partnerships with the wider community in a spirit of service and welcome. Click here to read how the “community” theme for Catholic Education Week 2012 is reflected in the Catholic school and parish communities in Longreach and Clayfield, Brisbane. General Peter Cosgrove to Highlight Importance of ‘Community' as Ambassador for Catholic Education Week 2012 General Peter Cosgrove AC MC will share a message about the importance of community values when he tours Queensland as the official ambassador for Catholic Education Week celebrations from July 22-28 this year. General Cosgrove will meet with various groups of Catholic school students, staff, parents and parishioners in Cairns, Townsville, Rockhampton, Toowoomba and Brisbane highlighting the theme for Catholic Education Week 2012 - “Celebrating Community - Family Parish School”.

  • Mayor Melva Hobson Quandamooka Native Title Celebrations Speech
    Mayor Melva Hobson Quandamooka Native Title Celebrations speech Dunwich 4 July 2011 Acknowledgements; Uncle Bob Anderson, Uncle Ian Delaney, Aunty Joan Hendriks, Aunty Evelyn Parkin, Mrs Bernita Mabo, Aunty Rene Cleary, the beautiful Ebony Burns and Patricia Walker Tony McAvoy John Sosso Councillor Craig Ogilvy and other fellow Redland City Councillors and local politicians Distinguished guests At this historic turning point in our relationship to land and to each other, and on this day of all days it gives me great pleasure to acknowledge the Quandamooka people as the traditional, and now legally recognised, owners of this island – Minjerriba. On behalf of Council, I am honoured to accept the welcome to country generously offered to us by Nughi Elder, Dr Robert V Anderson OAM (Uncle Bob), and by the island dancers and songmen. 1 To you; to the members of the Quandamooka Elders in Council; to Aunty Margaret Iselin and the Minjerriba‐Moorgumpin Elders in Council; and to all other Elders present, I thank you ‐ for your hospitality today and, for your enduring wisdom, dignity and leadership. Humbly, I pay respect to you and your ancestors. Perhaps they are here with you and other descendants of the Noonuccal, Gorempul and Nughi clans today. You might sense their spirit in the breezes off the bay; in the reeds on the shoreline; or in the clear water deep within the sand. Certainly, in your memory they are kept alive and we honour them on this very special occasion. I would also like to pay tribute to the Quandamooka family representatives and other Aboriginal community leaders present.
