18 August 2021 Dear Honourable Prime Minister Scott Morrison, We Write to You Urgently As Academics, Students and Concerned 18 August 2021 Dear Honourable Prime Minister Scott Morrison, We write to you urgently as academics, students and concerned citizens who have developed strong relationships with Afghan youth, human rights and women’s rights activists over several years to promote cooperation between our two countries. We have watched as the Taliban have taken over Afghanistan in the past 10 days. We are seriously concerned for the wellbeing and safety of our colleagues and the people of Afghanistan. As Australians, we believe we have a responsibility to stand with Afghan citizens and to provide shelter to those citizens who are human rights and women’s rights defenders likely to be persecuted by the new regime. We also believe we have a responsibility to provide security to Afghan temporary migrants, international students and refugees in Australia. We know that on behalf of the Australia Government you are already leading an emergency mission to evacuate Australian citizens and diplomats from Kabul. As strong supporters of human rights, especially civil and political rights to freedom of speech and association, we ask that you take action immediately and provide expedited asylum for Afghans whose lives are at grave risk. Australia’s aid program in Afghanistan has been dedicated to ending violence against women. Australia has invested in justice for women, changing community attitudes towards violence, advocating for the protection of women’s rights, funding women’s shelters and support services. The individuals and their families who worked in these programs are now in serious danger. We ask that the Australian government immediately prioritise issuing priority refugee visas for Afghans and their families who worked for these programs. Please check the list of current Australia Awards recipients to identify any Afghan Students at Australian universities on student visas and offer them immediate refugee status or temporary protection visas as well as counselling and financial support. Their contribution to community resilience will be invaluable to the Australian community. In addition, we call for Australia to provide permanent residency status for Afghan temporary migrants, international students, refugees and asylum seekers currently in Australia to ensure their security. Australia should also open the pathway for family reunification, to enable those whose families are in grave danger in Afghanistan, to be able to safely reunite with their loved ones in Australia. There is no option to send them back to Afghanistan. Australia should refer to the United States’ Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Menendez and Senator Jeanne Shaheen’s bipartisan letter urging the Biden administration to take swift, robust action to protect and support Afghan women leaders facing unparalleled danger following the Taliban’s violent sweep across Afghanistan and seizure of Kabul. Australia should also follow Canada’s lead, and establish a scheme to provide humanitarian visas, giving priority to human rights activists and religious minorities, such as, persecuted Hazaras, who are already facing ethnic cleansing at the hands of the Taliban. As this is an urgent matter, of life and death, we ask that the Australian government act immediately. As advocates of the Women, Peace and Security agenda and the Responsibility to Protect principle, we hope Australia will stand up for the international human rights regime and be a leader in providing safe asylum for Afghans who have fought for human rights. We would be prepared to send a delegation to meet with you to discuss the humanitarian and protection needs of Afghan women and children, in particular, including those given emergency visas as they relocate to Australia. Yours faithfully, Five thousand three hundred and sixty seven signatories below.

  • Navigating Great Power Competition in Southeast Asia JONATHAN STROMSETH
    THE NEW GEOPOLITICS APRIL 2020 ASIA BEYOND BINARY CHOICES? Navigating great power competition in Southeast Asia JONATHAN STROMSETH TRILATERAL DIALOGUE ON SOUTHEAST ASIA: ASEAN, AUSTRALIA, AND THE UNITED STATES BEYOND BINARY CHOICES? Navigating great power competition in Southeast Asia JONATHAN STROMSETH EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Brookings Institution has launched a new trilateral initiative with experts from Southeast Asia, Australia, and the United States to examine regional trends in Southeast Asia in the context of escalating U.S.-China rivalry and China’s dramatic rise. The initiative not only focuses on security trends in the region, but covers economic and governance developments as well. This report summarizes the main findings and policy recommendations discussed at an inaugural trilateral dialogue, convened in Singapore in late 2019 in partnership with the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS) and the Lowy Institute. A key theme running throughout the dialogue was how the region can move beyond a binary choice between the United States and China. In this connection, Southeast Asian countries could work with middle powers like Australia and Japan (admittedly a major power in economic terms) to expand middle-power agency and reduce the need for an all-or-nothing choice. Yet, there was little agreement on the feasibility of such collective action as well as doubts about whether the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has the capacity to create independent strategic space as U.S.- China competition continues to grow. Southeast Asian participants noted that Beijing has successfully leveraged its signature Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) to expand its soft-power in the region, to the detriment of U.S.

  • Full Thesis Draft No Pics
    A whole new world: Global revolution and Australian social movements in the long Sixties Jon Piccini BA Honours (1st Class) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2013 School of History, Philosophy, Religion & Classics Abstract This thesis explores Australian social movements during the long Sixties through a transnational prism, identifying how the flow of people and ideas across borders was central to the growth and development of diverse campaigns for political change. By making use of a variety of sources—from archives and government reports to newspapers, interviews and memoirs—it identifies a broadening of the radical imagination within movements seeking rights for Indigenous Australians, the lifting of censorship, women’s liberation, the ending of the war in Vietnam and many others. It locates early global influences, such as the Chinese Revolution and increasing consciousness of anti-racist struggles in South Africa and the American South, and the ways in which ideas from these and other overseas sources became central to the practice of Australian social movements. This was a process aided by activists’ travel. Accordingly, this study analyses the diverse motives and experiences of Australian activists who visited revolutionary hotspots from China and Vietnam to Czechoslovakia, Algeria, France and the United States: to protest, to experience or to bring back lessons. While these overseas exploits, breathlessly recounted in articles, interviews and books, were transformative for some, they also exposed the limits of what a transnational politics could achieve in a local setting. Australia also became a destination for the period’s radical activists, provoking equally divisive responses.

  • A Right That Should've Been: Protection of Personal Images On
    275 A RIGHT THAT SHOULD’VE BEEN: PROTECTION OF PERSONAL IMAGES ON THE INTERNET EUGENIA GEORGIADES “The right to the protection of one’s image is … one of the essential components of personal development.” Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights ABSTRACT This paper provides an overview of the current legal protection of personal images that are uploaded and shared on social networks within an Australian context. The paper outlines the problems that arise with the uploading and sharing of personal images and considers the reasons why personal images ought to be protected. In considering the various areas of law that may offer protection for personal images such as copyright, contract, privacy and the tort of breach of confidence. The paper highlights that this protection is limited and leaves the people whose image is captured bereft of protection. The paper considers scholarship on the protection of image rights in the United States and suggests that Australian law ought to incorporate an image right. The paper also suggests that the law ought to protect image rights and allow users the right to control the use of their own image. In addition, the paper highlights that a right to be forgotten may provide users with a mechanism to control the use of their image when that image has been misused. Dr. Eugenia Georgiades, Assistant Professor Faculty of Law, Bond University, the author would like to thank Professor Brad Sherman, Professor Leanne Wiseman and Dr. Allan Ardill for their feedback.

  • High on Achievement
    selective schools High on achievement ET visits Melbourne's first selective high school in 50 years ossal High School’s inaugural year in 2010 marks the development of an educational hub in Berwick in Melbourne’s outer east as much as Nthe establishment of a top flight selective school. The first of its type to be built in 50- plus years, Nossal High School will join MacRobertson Girl’s High School, Melbourne High School and, in 2011, Suzanne Cory High School at Werribee in the city’s west to form a network of selective schools. While operating independently, the four schools will share resources and cross-pollinate ideas towards the best results. Nossal High’s location within the grounds of Monash University’s Berwick campus will give the students access to university facilities and senior students access to Monash’s lecturers and those at the nearby Chisholm TAFE. Principal architect Sarah Ball from Woods Bagot, says that the buildings were designed around the school’s teaching approach, which has an accent on tertiary style and self-directed learning. The first stage comprises the teaching facility with stage two, encompassing a sports facility, music and performing arts complex, and lecture theatre, to come on line in 2011. It was an accelerated project – with the entire first stage, from tender to concept and build completed within two years. The total build represents a $20 million investment. Woods Bagot was responsible for the architecture of the Monash Berwick campus and had a good overall understanding of the site and how the high school project would interact with Above: High ability students achieve more when educated together; Below: Stage one will be complete the university.

Even serious journalists began referring to the national legislature metaphorically as the “monkey house” to encapsulate the farcical behaviour they were obliged to report. With Tony Abbott being pre-emptively ousted from the prime ministership by Malcolm Turnbull in 2015, Turnbull himself was, in turn, unceremoniously usurped in bizarre circumstances in August 2018, handing over the leadership to his slightly bemused Treasurer Scott Morrison. Suddenly, Australia was being branded as the notorious “coup capital of the Western democracies”, with five prime ministers in five years and only one losing the high office at a general election.

  • Warren Mundine Was Not Recommended for the SBS Board
    _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Warren Mundine was not recommended for the SBS board, but the Coalition chose him anyway The former Liberal candidate was handpicked by the government and had not been put forward by the independent nominations panel Warren Mundine was appointed to the SBS board in October 2020. Amanda Meade Wed 4 Nov 2020 The Morrison government handpicked unsuccessful Liberal candidate Warren Mundine to sit on the SBS board for five years, overlooking the recommendations of the independent nominations panel. The minister for communications, Paul Fletcher, said Mundine was a distinguished Australian and an advocate for Indigenous people when appointing him as a non- executive director of the multicultural public broadcaster on 31 October. “He will be a valuable addition to the SBS board, bringing over 40 years of experience in roles across government, business and the community sector,” Fletcher said. When announcing the appointment, the minister said the government had “followed the legislated process for making this appointment, including considering the report of the independent nomination panel”. But a spokesman for Fletcher has clarified that Mundine was handpicked by the government and not recommended by the independent nominations panel. 2 “Warren Mundine was not included in the list of recommended nominees by the nomination panel; however, it is open to the minister under section 43B of the SBS Act to recommend a nominee other than as recommended by the panel,” the spokesman told Guardian Australia. Mundine is closely aligned with conservative politics and has been a columnist and presenter with News Corp and is chairman of Liberty Works and the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
