    Ovens Murray Infrastructure Victoria is investigating infrastructure investment in regional Victoria that builds on the economic strengths of a region, or that reduces disadvantage, primarily through providing greater access to services and economic opportunities. This fact sheet is focussed on reducing disadvantage, and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying framework for reducing disadvantage through infrastructure. The purpose of this fact sheet is to provide evidence that will inform the problem definition for each of Victoria’s nine regions through consultation with stakeholders. The project has a specific focus on areas that experience relatively high levels of disadvantage (ranked in the bottom 30% of the index of Socio-Economic Disadvantage, SEIFA) and this fact sheet provides indicators showing poor outcomes for key demographic groups living in these areas. Infrastructure Victoria invites key stakeholders and service providers to make submissions that provide evidence on which infrastructure could make a difference in reducing disadvantage for the region.

  • Patterns of Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Century Land Use by Punjabi Hawkers in Southern New South Wales, Australia
    225 D.H.R. Spennemann: Patterns of Land Use Patterns of Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Century Land Use by Punjabi Hawkers in Southern New South Wales, Australia Dirk HR Spennemann Institute for Land Water and Society; Charles Sturt University ________________________________________________________________ Abstract.—At the end of the nineteenth century a large number of Punjabi men went to Australia to further their family’s financial and social fortunes at home. The majority of these men went into the hawking trade, providing a crucial service to the expanding Australian farming communities. Yet, in the dominant Australian settler narrative they have been characterized, by and large, as mere ephemeral players. Drawing on in‐depth research on the presence of Punjabi men in in the Riverina of News South Wales, one of colonial Australia’s most productive wool and wheat regions, this paper demonstrates that their relationship to the land was not nearly as tenuous as some writers would have it. Rather, the picture is quite multi‐facetted, with many Punjabi owning land, either as urban bases for their operations, as investment properties until their return to India, or as land that they farmed with the intent of making Australia their new home. ________________________________________________________________ Nineteenth century Australian society was heavily gendered and socially normed, with those who did not conform being watched with suspicion and often institutionalised.1 The common narrative was one of a white settler community, alienating land and making a livelihood for themselves and their family.2 As such movement was unidirectional,3 1.

  • Unity in Diversity
    unity in diversity Annual Report 2014 Diversitat Refugee Photography Project This exhibition celebrated six remarkable individuals from refugee backgrounds that contribute greatly to the Geelong community through their work with Diversitat. They were from Sudanese, Iraqi, Karen(pictured), Ethiopian, Afghani(pictured) and Bosnian backgrounds and reflect the diversity of Geelong’s newly arrived and more established migrant communities. Their contributions to the organisation are highly valued as bi-lingual support workers, case managers, volunteers and as workers with Diversitat’s Property Services Social Enterprises. The skills, dedication and empathy they bring to their roles greatly assists the settlement process of individuals from Geelong’s newly arrived communities and provides the support they need to reach their full potential. These images were taken by internationally awarded photographer, Tobias Titz, as part of a project for 2014 World Refugee Day that aspired to share stories that are rarely told by mainstream media about the experiences of refugees. Tobias Titz is a freelance photographer based in Melbourne, Australia. Over the last ten years he has worked for a range of local and international magazines and commercial clients.
