You Can't Be What You Can't See— Women
Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory 49th Presiding Officers and Clerks Conference Wellington, New Zealand 8-13 July 2018 You can’t be what you can’t see— Women in the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory Paper to be presented by Joy Burch, MLA, Speaker of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory Page 1 of 10 ‘Any way you look at it there are many, many women who are capable of that job of leadership and making an impact at every level of government and I think we should see more”1 “Women in politics do make a difference and they can change people’s perceptions of politics – they also change the structural discrimination of old-style political systems and parliamentary conventions”2 1 Rosemary Follett, ‘Rosemary Follett and Kate Carnell reunited to sight sexism in politics’ Canberra Times 7th March 2015. 2 Katy Gallagher, ACT Chief Minister, katygallagher.net/blog blog post, 1st October 2014. Page 2 of 10 Introduction Women have played an important and prominent role in the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory since its establishment in 1989. The ACT was the first state or territory to have a woman as its Head of Government. In the Second Assembly, the positions of Speaker, Chief Minister and Leader of the Opposition were all held by women. Perhaps most significantly, at the Territory election for the Ninth Assembly in 2016, thirteen women were elected to the Assembly. It was the first time in Australian history that a majority of women had been elected to a parliament and one of the first jurisdictions in the world to have done so.3 It was also notable that the voters of the ACT returned this result even though only 36 percent of the total 140 candidates that stood for election were women. -

It has been updated to include the change to the composition of the Legislative Assembly to 25 members, the redrawing of the electoral boundaries from three to five electorates, two casual vacancies occurring late in the eighth Legislative Assembly, the 2016 Legislative Assembly election and a casual vacancy early in the life of the ninth Legislative Assembly. The first election for the ACT Legislative Assembly was held in 1989, after the ACT was granted self-government by the Commonwealth parliament. The ACT Legislative Assembly is unique in Australia in several ways. For example: - It is the only unicameral parliament elected by proportional representation. - It is the only Australian parliament that combines State government and local government responsibilities. - In 2001, it became the first parliament in Australia to be elected using electronic voting, combined with traditional paper ballots. -

Towards 80 Years
Canberra Institute of Technology Towards Years Canberra Institute 80 of Technology serving the community > CIT GIVES YOU A FUTURE A Message from the Chief Executive and Director As Chief Executive and Director of Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT) since 1997, it has been an honour to be one of the custodians of the remarkable almost 80-year legacy delivered by prior leaders, staff and students of this Institute. It is fascinating to reflect on CIT’s history and its inextricable links to the ACT and region. A symbolic relationship with our community has persisted because our institutional aspirations remain interdependent with those of our community. As this historical summary indicates, CIT initially provided trades school courses, public service entrance training and matriculation classes developed in direct response to the educational demands of the embryonic ACT community. Today, CIT’s educational philosophy and considerably larger range of course offerings are no less a direct response to community need. In the new millennium, our community is far broader, with students drawn from around Australia and the world to CIT’s niche curriculum qualifications, such as Bachelor Degree programs in Commercial Photography, Fashion Design and Forensic Science. In addition, our trade and technical training is delivered in different modes to a diverse student population. Our multi-campus Institute, with campuses in Reid, Bruce, Woden, Weston and Fyshwick, attracts around 19,000 students annually, including around 600 international students. In 2006, more than 450 courses from Certificate to Degree Dr Peter Veenker Chief Executive and Director level are delivered in a community orientated and collegial environment, with students afforded an ever-growing range of additional support services through the CIT Student Association (CITSA).
