  • Improving Civics and Electoral Education
    MEDIA RELEASE Issued: 24 March 2011 Joint Standing Committee on Migration Chair: Ms Vamvakinou MP Deputy Chair: Mrs Louise Markus MP Inquiry into Multiculturalism in Australia The Parliament’s Migration Committee will hold its first public hearing into multiculturalism and the contribution of migration to Australia on Tuesday, 29 March 2011 at the Centre for Dialogue, La Trobe University, Melbourne. The program will run from 9.30 am to 4.30 pm. Among the witnesses will be the Ethnic Communities Council (Victoria), the Islamic Womens’ Welfare Council of Victoria, the Brotherhood of St Laurence, Africa Think Tank, the Greek Orthodox Community (Melbourne and Victoria) and the National Ethnic Disability Alliance. Professor Joseph Camilleri, Director of the Centre for Dialogue, will also appear. Ms Vamvakinou MP, Chair of the Committee said, “Migration into Australia has made Australian society diverse, culturally rich and forward looking. There are many positive strategies in place and success stories to be told. However, we need to keep in touch with the changing needs of both new and established migrant communities. Flexible settlement policies are the key to successful integration and, as needs change over time, so too must government and community services adapt to cater to changing conditions,” she said. “These organisations bring valuable expertise to the current debate on multiculturalism. They work directly with new migrants, including refugees, and established communities and understand the challenge of building a cohesive, integrated community”, Ms Vamvakinou said. The hearing will be held at the Centre for Dialogue, Boardroom, Level 3 Science Building, La Trobe University, Bundoora Campus, Melbourne.

  • Australia's Defence Strategic Update
    2/10/2021 East Asia Forum Australia’s Defence Strategic Update: when all you have is a hammer | East Asia Forum - East Asia Forum - https://www.eastasiaforum.org - Australia’s Defence Strategic Update: when all you have is a hammer Posted By Melissa Conley Tyler On 19 July 2020 @ 10:00 am In Australia,diplomacy,International Relations,Military,Regional Architecture,Security | No Comments Author: Melissa Conley Tyler, University of Melbourne The old saying ‘when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail’ comes to mind upon the release of Australia’s 2020 Defence Strategic Update on 1 July. The biggest issue is not so much what’s in the Update, but the way it continues the tendency to view international issues through a security lens. To avoid a militarisation of Australia’s international relations, Canberra needs to balance defence, diplomacy and development approaches. The Update was commissioned last year [1] recognising that the world has changed more quickly than expected in the 2016 Defence White Paper. The Update is uncontroversial in outlining Australia’s deteriorating strategic environment [2], including increased strategic competition, technological change and aggressive grey-zone tactics. What’s more surprising, given these threats, is that in many ways it charts a course of business as usual. For example, almost all the extra funding is an extrapolation of 2016 forecasts [3] a further four years to provide funding certainty [2]. Hugh White describes the Update as making only marginal changes to existing force development plans [4]. One of the most significant changes is setting three strategic objectives for Defence that are not defined in geographic terms [5]: to shape Australia’s strategic environment, to deter actions against https://www.eastasiaforum.org/2020/07/19/australias-defence-strategic-update-when-all-you-have-is-a-hammer/print/ 1/5 2/10/2021 East Asia Forum Australia’s Defence Strategic Update: when all you have is a hammer | East Asia Forum Australia’s interests and to respond with credible military force, when required.

Some Lessons for Today p. 37 2 Introduction Our starting point is that the struggle for socialism and communism are part of a worldwide revolutionary process that develops in an uneven manner. Revolutions are fought and new socialist states are established country by country. These states must defend themselves; socialist countries have had to devote significant resources to defending themselves from political isolation, economic strangulation and military attack. And they must stay on the socialist road by reinvigorating the revolutionary process and unleashing the political initiative of the masses of working people in all areas of society.1 However, socialist countries cannot be seen as ends in and of themselves. They are not secure as long as imperialism and capitalism exist anywhere in the world.

He wore leg irons, each weighing four pounds. His name was Francis McCarty. He was an Irishman, convicted of the crime of insurrection and “uttering unlawful oaths”. In October of the same year, an 18 year old girl called Mary Palmer stood in the dock at Middlesex Gaol and was sentenced to be transported to New South Wales for the term of her natural life.
