However, these successes have largely failed to translate into Indigenous health outcomes. Given the continued dominance of a colonial imagination, little research exists that values Indigenous perspectives, knowledges and practice in health promotion. This thesis contributes to addressing this knowledge gap. An ethnographic study of health promotion practice was undertaken within an Indigenous-led health promotion team, to learn how practitioners negotiated tensions of daily practice.

  • Julie Bishop and Malcolm Turnbull Took to Twitter to Deny Ben Fordham’S Claims They Had Secret Meeting in Sydney
    Julie Bishop and Malcolm Turnbull took to Twitter to deny Ben Fordham’s claims they had secret meeting in Sydney DAVID MEDDOWS THE DAILY TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY 05, 2015 4:29PM Malcolm Turnbull and Julie Bishop have taken to social media to deny they had planned a secret meeting in Sydney today. Picture: Supplied THE political rumour mill went into overdrive today when a Sydney radio host suggested Julie Bishop and Malcolm Turnbull had arranged a secret meeting in Sydney. 2GB host Fordham took to Twitter this afternoon claiming that Bishop and Turnbull would be meeting at the Communication Minister’s house sometime today. “Interesting fact - @JulieBishopMP and @TurnbullMalcolm have arranged to meet at his Sydney home today,” the Tweet read. But the pair quickly fired back denying the claims. The Communications Minister even provided happy snaps to prove his whereabouts. “you need to improve yr surveillance! I am on the train to Tuggerah. PoliticsinPub Nth Wyong 2nite,” wrote. “No Ben. At 11.30 am I was not meeting w @JulieBishopMP - after a meeting at NBNCo I was waiting for a train at Nth Sydney,” he said. Mr Turnbull was heading to the Central Coast where he was meeting with local MP Karen McNamara. Just to prove his point he posted pictures from the train trip and one hugging a sign at Tuggerah station. “Arrived at our destination! @BenFordham looking forward to discussing broadband with Karen Mcnamara MP,” he said. Still not convinced, Fordham asked one more time for confirmation from Mr Turnbull. “At the risk of coming across as obsessed, can I kindly ask you confirm you did not meet Julie today? *ducks rotten fruit*” he asked on Twitter.

  • Malcolm Turnbull's Plotters Find Political Success Elusive
    Malcolm Turnbull's plotters find political success elusive AFR, Aaron Patrick, 22 Aug 2017 Mal Brough vanished. Wyatt Roy sells call centre technology. Peter Hendy wants a Senate seat. James McGrath is in ministerial limbo land. Arthur Sinodinos stays quiet. Scott Ryan is struck out sick. Simon Birmingham is at war with the Catholic Church. Mitch Fifield tried to buy media peace from One Nation. They have been dubbed the G8: the eight Liberals most intimately involved in the successful plot to remove Tony Abbott as prime minister. When they installed Malcolm Turnbull party leader on September 14, 2015, all might have seen their political careers flourishing under what many people expected at the time to be a unifying, inspiring and competent prime minister. Instead, their stories in some ways personify the broader story of the Liberal government: starting with such promise, they have mostly either proved to be disappointments or failed to live up to their early promise. An opinion poll published Monday shows the Labor Party would easily win power based on current voting preferences. Fateful decision When they gathered on the evening of September 13, 2015, at Hendy's home in Queanbeyan, on the outskirts of Canberra, the atmosphere was thick with anticipation. The group, excluding Birmingham, who was flying up from Adelaide, took the fateful decision to remove a first-term leader who had ended six years of Labor power. The next day, Roy, Hendy, Brough, Ryan, Sinodinos and Fifield walked briskly alongside Turnbull to the meeting in Parliament House where they brought down Abbott, triggering open conflict between the two main wings of the party that persists today.

    Senate Finance and Public Administration Legislation Committee —Supplementary Budget Estimates Hearing—October 2015 Answers to Questions on Notice Parliamentary departments, Department of Parliamentary Services Topic: Cost of Ministerial movements Question: 15 Hansard Reference p 19, 24; 19 October 2015 Date set by the committee for the return of answer: 4 December 2015 Senator WONG: I presume, because you are all assiduous preparers, that people are aware to my questions to the Department of the Senate about the moves associated with the change to the ministry and the Prime Minister. Dr Heriot: Yes. Senator WONG: What information can you give me on that—the costs and what occurred? Dr Heriot: While Mr Ryan is taking his seat at the front, I can tell you that I am advised that there were seven moves of senators, 23 moves of members and 23 moves in the ministry associated with the appointment of a new Prime Minister and his cabinet. We undertake, as suite changes happen, wherever possible routine maintenance, including patching, painting and other minor repairs as necessary. We also have responsibility for changing glass plaque signages as people change their official positions, and I understand that we have done a number of those that I just mentioned as associated with the move. We have done paint and patch repairs. Because they are done by our staff, I am afraid I do not have a cost for you. I can take that on notice as a hypothetical cost. … Senator WONG: Okay. What about the cost of moving—the actual relocation itself, with boxes and a contractor to carry them? How is that managed? Do I wait for Mr Ryan to come back? Dr Heriot: I understand that we do not bear those costs, but I will get confirmation when Mr Ryan is back.

    Senator the Hon Concetta Hon Sharon Bird MP Fierravanti-Wells Federal Member for Cunningham Liberal Senator for New South Wales Stephen Jones MP Federal Member for Whitlam Senator the Hon Marise Payne Minister for Women M1 49, Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Senator the Hon Anne Ruston Minister for Families and Social Services MG 60, Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Dear Ministers, We are writing to support the Illawarra Women’s Health Centre’s proposal to establish a community- led first-in-Australia Domestic and Family Violence Trauma Recovery Centre. We strongly support this proposal. The Centre, an evidence based multi sectoral integrated service will transform domestic and family violence support services. Domestic and family violence is a major public health issue. Approximately one in six women in Australia have experienced physical and/or sexual violence by a current or previous partner. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare reports that domestic violence is the greatest health risk factor for women aged 25 to 44. The impact of violence is substantial and long-lasting. Experiences of family and domestic violence are linked to poor mental and physical health outcomes, which can persist long after the violence has ceased. Moreover, women affected by family and domestic violence often face legal and financial challenges, which can lead to poverty and homelessness. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Complex PTSD are a very real outcome for women and children who have been exposed to family and domestic violence and abuse. Analysis from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health shows that women who have untreated trauma or PTSD spend a minimum of 10% more per year on General Practitioners alone.

  • Submission to the Senate Select Committee Into the Political Influence of Donations
    Submission to the Senate Select Committee into the Political Influence of Donations Dr Charles Livingstone & Ms Maggie Johnson Gambling and Social Determinants Unit School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine Monash University 9 October 2017 1 Introduction Gambling in Australia is a prime cause of avoidable harm, with the harms of gambling estimated to be of the same order of magnitude as alcohol, and far higher than that associated with illicit drug consumption. (Browne et al, 2016; 2017). The gambling industry is a major donor to Australian political parties and politicians and appears to hold considerable cachet with many political actors, at both federal and state level. In this, it appears to be similar to other industries that produce harmful products, such as alcohol and tobacco. Its purpose in donating to political parties and politicians is similar; it seeks to deny the harmful effects of its products, delay or wind back reform, avoid effective regulation, and continue to extract profits for as long as possible. a) The level of influence that political donations exert over the public policy decisions of political parties, Members of Parliament and Government administration; The Australian gambling industry has utilised political donations as a mechanism to exert considerable influence over relevant public policy. This has been facilitated by the current donations regime, which has numerous flaws from the perspective of transparency and support for policy that acts in the genuine interest of the public. The industry is both significantly resourced and politically organised, and has actively sought opportunities for political engagement via donations to politicians and political parties.
