  • Chairman's Report
    Chairman’s Report The Union will record a small deficit in 2002 however given that the Union’s grant from NSW Rugby Union was reduced in 2001/2002 by half and the Union did not reduce its level of service nor cut programs during the 2002 season this is a fair result. Future savings are anticipated given that in September the Union Office relocated with NSW Rugby Union who have granted rent free office space to the Union at the Sydney Football Stadium. This move was first discussed in 1996 and to finally see it come to fruition has been very pleasing. Early reports suggest that the relocation has been well received by the staff, NSWRU and affiliates alike. We look forward to fostering stronger relations with NSW Rugby Union into the future as a result. A 20% increase in sponsorship revenue has helped minimise costs to clubs and I would like to thank Canterbury International, Coca-Cola, Ricoh, Gilbert, Beiersdorf Australia (Leuko), Australian Rugby Review and major sponsors Interfuse all of whom have been associated with the Union for in excess of five years. The Union also thanks Big Sister Laundry and Icons of Sport for their support. On the representative scene it was pleasing to see NSWSRU take on NSW Country for the first time in many years and I hope that this can once again be an annual representative fixture. Thank you to Peter Duckworth, Peter Walsh and their Management Team for their efforts in preparing a quality representative team and program. I wish to thank my fellow Management Committee Members for their efforts throughout the last year.

  • Our Opiate of Choice
    Pathways 6 Conference 2002 Our Opiate of Choice Matt Laffan NSW Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions ABSTRACT: This paper is a personal account of the way in which physical disabilities did not preclude the speaker from an integrated education. We follow his journey from primary school through to his completing his Bachelor degrees at University. As the speaker reflects on the way in which an inclusive education allowed him to participate in society we are presented with a clear insight as to how we must strive to continue creating such pathways. The speaker not only presents a thesis as to the way in which an education has benefited him, but delivers an argument as to the way in which integration benefits the wider community as well. The subtle challenges that people with disabilities have are represented as being an extension to the greater challenge of meeting a desire to live as an independent member of society. 1. KEYNOTE ADDRESS: Last year I travelled overseas for some six weeks. Due to a combination of good fortune, generous friends, optimism and pure luck I had a fantastic sojourn that took me to San Francisco, Vancouver, Calgary, Jasper, Barcelona, Seville, Madrid and London. When I was in Calgary, a city at the foot of the Canadian Rockies, I attended a folk festival. It was held on Princess Island. I went with my mate for two perfectly warm Canadian Summer’s days. The Sun poured down on us and the carnival like atmosphere was intoxicating. There were folks on rugs and deck chairs drinking, eating and laughing.
