Sounds like a fantastic blast. This is what the committee has organised. There is also the ongoing Qld. Campus training run by Diz, Peter and Brigid. Wendy McIntosh Newman College Melbourne 3 From Western Australia The WA Region has embarked on a creative process to encourage new members and a new way of working. Over many months the group has been working towards three main areas of development. Firstly, to expand experiential workshop opportunities and participation; secondly to explore ways of establishing the new training program under Psychodrama Australia guidelines; and thirdly, extending our networks to engage people in psychodrama methods for their work within their own training centres or workplaces. One aspect of the work is that each planning meeting involves a shared meal, which is building relationships as well as providing the ‘food’ for creative ideas. We have run several open sessions where we have time to connect, some psychodrama enactments and sharing, and then those who are interested can stay on for ‘processing’ to explore and integrate the learning. We have had several new people attend these sessions. We are also running an experiential learning session monthly until the end of the year and are planning on a full program for next year. One example of working with people in their own workplace is this report from Kaye Keam: “A few months ago we met with some members of the Perth Playback Theatre Co. and learnt that there is a vibrant new group of young people who are passionately developing their work in this field. They are aware that playback began as an offshoot of psychodrama and one member had attended a workshop in the UK with Jonathon Fox. They are interested in making further connections with us to learn more about the history and applications of action methods. Two of them attended one of our experiential workshops and enjoyed the experience. In the first week in October I ran a PD session with them to introduce them to role theory as a co-creative systemic approach. Fifteen people attended resulting in a very productive role training session. They are keen to keep up their links with us which we look forward to into the future. Kaye” Although we have not established a formal AANZPA Regional Group, this may emerge as the work develops. We were very heartened to learn that Executive is developing approaches to engage the Regions more and we look forward to connecting more solidly with them and other Regions in the future.

  • Working Paper
    Q&A Transcript – Working Paper This is my rough working paper, provided for anyone who wants to check my figures. Generally, I have counted ‘interruptions’ where a panellist is interrupted mid-sentence as indicated by elipses ( …) in the transcript. There are some additional incidents where, I believe, it is clear that an interruption has occurred – despite the absence of elipses. For example, where Jones specifically asks one panellist to speak and another butts in before they have a chance to respond. When someone has cut in on a conversation and either Jones or the original speaker cuts in, I have not counted that as an interruption (as indicated in parenthetic comments added to the text). Where one speaker obviously butts in to a conversation, but this occurs after the previous speaker has ended a sentence, I have marked this as an ‘interjection’ but, to be fair, I have not included these in the counts or the blog post. On the whole, I believe that the number of ‘interruptions’ I have attributed to Pyne et al is a conservative estimate. Q&A is based on discussions and, of course, interruptions are a normal part of discussions. I do not intend to perjorative in listing interruptions. Of course, not all of them are rude or unwelcome. However, when one panellist makes an extraordinarily high number of interruptions or another panellist is the recipient of an extraordinarily high number of interruptions it does seem to indicate something more than the cut and thrust of ordinary discussion. Word Count Jones: 1881 words (approx.) Pyne:

Scott Nishimoto Vice Chair Rep. Joy San Buenaventura and Members of the Judiciary Committee Submitted By: Stephanie Kendrick, Public Policy Advocate Hawaiian Humane Society, 808-356-2217 RE: Testimony in support of HB2072, HDl: Relating to HRS 711-1109 Thursday, Feb. 22, 2018, 2 p.m., Capitol room 325 The Hawaiian Humane Society supports the passage of House Bill 2072, which would prohibit the use of specific tethering equipment and techniques that are injurious to dogs. However, we oppose the proposed amendments reducing the penalties for a tethering violation. We understand the intent of the penalty change is to compel compliance with the new law without imposing a misdemeanor charge. But as the animal service provider for Oahu, we can attest that our humane investigators already use education when possible to modify behavior. Citations are issued and charges are brought only if attempts at education have failed to change illegal behavior and there is documented evidence of harm to one or more animals. In recent years the Legislature has strengthened animal cruelty penalties to recognize the serious nature of these crimes. These amendments would erode those efforts. We do agree that psychological counseling (page 5, line 13 through page6, line 3) may be a useful tool for rehabilitating animal cruelty offenders. We would support the addition of that option to the existing sentencing guidelines for all animal cruelty cases.

We’re thrilled to announce that inpatient services at Chris O’Brien Lifehouse have commenced. On Monday 2 March we welcomed our very first overnight guests to our ‘house’, the culmination of months of preparation and years of fundraising and work to realise the vision of the late Professor Chris O’Brien and his co-founders for an integrated, world-class cancer hospital for NSW. The commencement of inpatient services includes the opening of 125 overnight beds, eight new state-of-the-art operating theatres and a high-tech intensive care unit (ICU). Our CEO Eileen Hannagan commented: “This is a major milestone for our community and for healthcare in Australia.” The new patient offerings will have a Chris O’Brien Lifehouse CEO Eileen Hannagan significant impact on the lives of those living with cancer as well as their carers and speaks with the Hon.
