(Continued on page 3) Page 3 (Continued from page 2) After many years of outstanding work, Anne Barber stepped down from the organisation of the Edna Awards evening. The transfer of responsibility to Ardyce Harris led to a review of processes. On 5 July, the Executive resolved to establish an Edna Awards Committee to be chaired by a nominee of the Executive. The Commit- tee will have responsibility for initiating the process each year and the organisation and administration of the Awards. The Committee will work closely with the Independent review panel whose membership for 2010-2011 was endorsed and will include Bobbie Burke, Jenny Forster, Rhianna Keen and Annie Bickford. The Executive expresses its deep appreciation to panel members and to Ardyce Harris and Anne Barber, assist- ing Ardyce, for their efforts in organising the 2010 evening. There is a need, however, for more members to step forward to assist with the organisation. There is a manual of procedures. The event has a high profile among activist women and merits more support. It is also a highlight of the WEL calendar and great fun! Members of the executive, as in previous years, worked on national and state issues. Anne Barber continued her representation at Peak Women’s Meetings convened by the NSW Office for Women’s Policy and attended by the Minister for Women. She played a pivotal role in the organisation of International Women’s Day. WEL members were present at the march and rally distributing membership forms and Edna Awards flyers. The Newsletter was produced monthly by Lorraine Slade from material submitted by a range of members. With the employment of a Coordinator and the introduction of an e-Update , the Executive determined to issue the Newsletter bi-monthly from June, 2010. This decision is being kept under review. WEL contributed its views on various issues including: state Abortion Law Reform, a Charter of Human Rights, the impact of the Global Financial Crisis on Women, the implementation of the Paid Parental Leave scheme, the changes to federal legislation with respect to Income Management among others. Various members of the Executive supported other activities including the production of Skirting Sydney: a walking tour map traversing Sydney women’s history and the Helen Leonard Remembered function.

  • National Plan to Reduce Violence Against Women and Their Children
    Foreword One in three Australian women have experienced physical violence since the age of 15. Almost one in five have experienced sexual violence. It is time for that to change. The National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children 2010‐2022 (the National Plan) brings together the efforts of governments across the nation to make a real and sustained reduction in the levels of violence against women. It is the first plan to coordinate action across jurisdictions. It is the first to focus strongly on prevention. It is the first to look to the long term, building respectful relationships and working to increase gender equality to prevent violence from occurring in the first place. It is the first to focus on holding perpetrators accountable and encourage behaviour change. The National Plan sets out a framework for action over the next 12 years. This plan shows Australia’s commitments to upholding the human rights of Australian women through the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the Declaration to End Violence Against Women and the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. The National Plan has been built from an evidence base of new research and extensive consultation with experts and the community. The National Plan will be implemented through four three‐year plans, with the “First Action Plan: Building Strong Foundations” for 2010 to 2013 published in this plan. It seeks six national outcomes through the implementation of a wide range of strategies. By working together and challenging the attitudes and behaviours that allow violence to occur, all Australian governments are saying a very loud “no” to violence.

  • You Can Download the NSW Caring Fairly Toolkit Here!
    A TOOLKIT: How carers in NSW can advocate for change www.caringfairly.org.au Caring Fairly is represented in NSW by: www.facebook.com/caringfairlycampaign @caringfairly @caringfairly WHO WE ARE Caring Fairly is a national campaign led by unpaid carers and specialist organisations that support and advocate for their rights. Launched in August 2018 and coordinated by Mind Australia, Caring Fairly is led by a coalition of over 25 carer support organisations, NGOs, peak bodies, and carers themselves. In NSW, Caring Fairly is represented by Mental Health Carers NSW, Carers NSW and Flourish Australia. We need your support, and invite you to join the Caring Fairly coalition. Caring Fairly wants: • A fairer deal for Australia’s unpaid carers • Better economic outcomes for people who devote their time to supporting and caring for their loved ones • Government policies that help unpaid carers balance paid work and care, wherever possible • Politicians to understand what’s at stake for unpaid carers going into the 2019 federal election To achieve this, we need your help. WHY WE ARE TAKING ACTION Unpaid carers are often hidden from view in Australian politics. There are almost 2.7 million unpaid carers nationally. Over 850,000 people in Australia are the primary carer to a loved one with disability. Many carers, understandly, don’t identify as a ‘carer’. Caring Fairly wants visibility for Australia’s unpaid carers. We are helping to build a new social movement in Australia to achieve this. Unpaid carers prop up Australian society. Like all Australians, unpaid carers have a right to a fair and decent quality of life.

This paper examines the various ways in which her success was constructed in the Australian print media in the days immediately following her elevation. In particular, we focus on how an issue that has long beset women aspiring to power and leadership – the so-called ‘double-bind’ in which aspiring women leaders must display high competence and ambition in traditionally masculine domains while maintaining sufficient femininity so as not to be disliked – was constructed in this high profile instance. We discuss the coverage in terms of its implications for the need to create an androgynised presentation of ambition, the continuing relevance of gender stereotypes, and the mixture of threat and opportunity provided to women taking positions on ‘the glass cliff’.
