  • Lessons from Sir Reginald Ansett
    LESSONS FROM SIR REGINALD ANSETT Reg Ansett became one of the wealthiest and most influential businessmen in Australia, with interests over a vast range of industries from television stations and air transport to credit card organisations. However, he would describe himself as an aviator. He was born in February 1909 in Inglewood, Victoria. His father owned a bicycle repair shop. When war broke out in 1914 his father enlisted and his mother and young Reg moved to Melbourne, settling in Camberwell. He left school at fourteen to find a job to help the family finances. He commenced work at a knitting factory becoming a highly-skilled sewing machine mechanic, until he was twenty-one. By then his dreams had been full of daring flight, particularly of his hero, Charles Kingsford Smith. He cashed in on an insurance policy to raise the funds for flying lessons and became the 419th Australian to be granted a licence. Unfortunately, at the time, the Depression was beginning to hurt the economy and opportunities for young pilots were limited. Showing his entrepreneurial spirit he decided that there was income to be made from growing peanuts in the Northern Territory, so he took a ship to Darwin. He soon realised it was not a well thought through plan and instead worked as an axeman clearing trees for surveyors. However, the experience in the vast distances of the Northern Territory confirmed to him that there was a great future in the transport business. He returned to Melbourne, purchased a second-hand Sudebaker car and decided to establish himself in the West of Victoria and began and taxi service from Hamilton to Ballarat.

  • The History of the Australian Aerospace Industry
    School of Mechanical Engineering MECH ENG 3016 Aeronautical Engineering 1 The History of the Australian Aerospace Industry Authors: Jarryd Pfeiffer 1132307 Kelly Balnaves 1132985 Bradley Darlington 1132806 Michael Cannizzo 1131304 Christian Rogers 1130940 Alex Horstmann 1131838 Submitted 3 rd October 2007 Lecturer: Dr. Maziar Arjomandi 1 ABSTRACT The Australian Aerospace industry began with the work of Lawrence Hargrave in the late 19 th century, which preceded and most likely influenced the first aeroplane ever built. Throughout the early 20 th century Australian aviators such as Bert Hinkler and Sir Charles Kingsford Smith made history by completing record-breaking flights all over the world. The Royal Australian Air Force and later the RAAF played an important role in both World Wars, aiding allied troops in locations as diverse as Europe, the Middle East and China. Australia’s size and scattered population made it important to establish an aviation industry as early as possible. Commercial aviation began in 1920 when Qantas was founded, later on; Australia became home to the world’s first flying doctor service. To this day, both Qantas and the Royal Flying Doctors Service are still operating. Throughout the 1950’s and 1960’s, the outback town of Woomera in South Australia became an important testing ground for the Australian and British military. Later on it was used as a base to launch a number of rockets and satellites. More recently, the Woomera range has played host to the University of Queensland’s HyShot Hypersonics program and is slated to become the launch site of the Kistler K1 reusable launch vehicle.

  • An Evaluation of the Mechanisms Designed to Promote Substantive Equality in the Equal Opportunity Act 2010 (Vic)
    AN EVALUATION OF THE MECHANISMS DESIGNED TO PROMOTE SUBSTANTIVE EQUALITY IN THE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY ACT 2010 (VIC) DOMINIQUE ALLEN* As a society, we have learnt a great deal about the nature of discrimination in the four decades since it was first prohibited, yet our laws have not evolved despite being criticised for aiming at formal equality and failing to address discrimination on a systemic level. In 2010, Victoria enacted legislation aimed specifically at promoting substantive equality and targeting systemic discrimination. Using doctrinal and empirical methodologies, this arti- cle assesses the impact of the novel mechanisms in the Equal Opportunity Act 2010 (Vic) which were designed to promote substantive equality: the objects clause; the definitions of direct and indirect discrimination; the obligation to make reasonable adjustments; special measures; and the duty to eliminate discrimination, sexual harassment and victimisation. CONTENTS I Introduction .............................................................................................................. 460 II Conceptual Underpinnings .................................................................................... 463 A Formal Equality ........................................................................................... 464 B Deviating from Equal Treatment .............................................................. 465 C Substantive Equality .................................................................................... 466 D Special Measures ........................................................................................

  • Deborah Lawrie
    HER PLACE WOMEN’S MUSEUM EDUCATION/SECONDARY DEBORAH LAWRIE Class grouping: Whole class and pairs (if desired) Time: 20 minutes Purpose: The purpose of this activity is to introduce students to the achievements of Deborah Jane Lawrie (nee Wardley). Deborah was the first woman to become a pilot with a major Australian airline after winning a landmark sex discrimination case against Ansett Airlines. She was the first Australian woman pilot to stake and win an equal opportunity case. Deborah’s case serves as a stern reminder of how important it is to continue to fight to gain and maintain equal rights between men and women. The activity in this resource works well if the teacher is able to read the attached excerpt before commencing the lesson. This enables the identification of difficult vocabulary words that may require further elaboration. Younger students may also need to be supported as they answer the related questions. Activities: 1. Whole class activity: Read attached excerpt on Deborah Lawrie’s life and achievements. 2. Whole class activity (individually or in pairs): complete reflection questions on equality. Preparation and Materials: • Read excerpt. • Print copies of reading material. • Write questions below on whiteboard (or print a copy for students if desired). Reflection Questions: 1. What kind of skills did Deborah have that should have qualified her to be a pilot? 2. What was the immediate consequence of ‘Reg’ Ansett stating his ‘personal belief’ that women should not be pilots? 3. Why do you think that Ansett Airlines believed that the sexes ‘shouldn’t be mixed’? 4. Think of three reasons why it is unfair to deny a woman a job because she ‘will have children’? 5.

  • 1 Nancy Bird Walton
    1 Nancy Bird Walton A YOUNG PIONEER Once a girl has obtained her flying licence … she has won her wings, and no piece of paper, current or expired, can take that away from her. (Nancy Bird Walton) australian women pilots newspaper article promised ‘crazy flying and aeronautics’ at A the Wingham Air Pageant and Nancy Bird wanted a slice of it. The refreshment tent ladies were so flat out serving tea and scones to the hungry masses they wouldn’t have had time to notice young Nancy’s unruly auburn curls bob through the crowd and approach the well-known air show and endurance pilot Reg Annabel. Excit- edly, Nancy handed over a week’s wages – £1 – to pay for her first ever joy ride, and it was in Reg’s sleek new open cockpit Gipsy Moth biplane. The beautiful timber and canvas craft was the sport plane of its day. Reg had just circumnavigated Australia and was now flying the Moth around on the airshow circuit. This was September 1930 and teenage Nancy already knew she wanted to fly. Having left school when she was just 13, she went to work for her father and uncle at their store in Mount George, on the mid-north coast of New South Wales, where they also had the local cream contract. Meanwhile, her mother stayed down in Manly so the other five children could finish school. Travelling 30 kilometres east from Mount George to Wingham, Nancy had been full of excitement as she jostled with the rattling cream cans on her dad’s truck.
