My father was born in the village of Xewkija and my Mother in Mgarr harbour. My wife Kerrie and I had the most relaxing time and began preparing for 2018 when we intend to live in Gozo for four months. The summer lifestyle on Gozo is friendly and family orientated. It was a pleasure to see fami- lies at the festas and out for dinner together late into the night with no bad language or bad behaviour to dampen the evenings. Whilst in Gozo Kerrie and I attended a fundraising event in aid of the Gozo hospital – The organiser Dame Carmen Bellamy was the most gracious host and Kerrie and I had a wonderful evening. The charity is the Gozo CCU Foundation http://www.gozoccufoundation.com The Foundation was started in the latter part of 2006 as a result of the current Chairperson, Dame Carmen Bella- my, (a Gozitan married to an Englishman), discovering that, after her husband suffered a major heart attack, the monitors currently in use at the local General Hospital were either nonexistent or not totally functioning. This situation so shocked her that she created this foundation After meeting Dame Carmen I offered my services to the foundation whilst I am living there for the 4 months a year – I have also sort and received approval from our committee to hold a fundraising event at the Club in Octo- ber for the foundation – I hope you can all support this worthy cause as we give back a little to the country of our origins. During my visit I also went on a tour of the Magro Brother factory to see where the Three Hills Kunserva (That we sell at the Club) is made. All of the tomatoes are grown on Gozo or in Malta and they are processed in less than 24 hours from when they are picked. Here I am at the Magro Brothers Factory Above: With Dame Carmen at the CCU Fundraiser The Azure window is really gone so sad Below: Kerrie and I enjoying Gozo life 3 NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE MALTESE COMMUNITY OF WA 9% FEWER MALTESE IN AUSTRALIA reported in the 2016 Census The release of 2016 Census statistics started recently. The initial release includes some data relating to the Maltese population in Australia. First generation Maltese: The total number of first generation Maltese (persons born in Malta) at 2016 Census time stood at 37,613. The largest number, just under half, were living in Victoria (47.5%), followed by NSW (38.5%), South Australia (6.6%), Western Australia (3.8%), and the Australian Capital Territory (2.4%). Compared to the figure from the 2011 Census, where there were 41,270 Malta-born people in Aus- tralia, this represents a drop of 3,657 persons (8.9%) over a five-year interval or an average of 1.8% per year. Maltese language spoken at home The number of those who stated that they spoke Maltese at home was 31,987. In the 2011 Census the cor- responding figure was 34,396. This represents a reduction of 2,409 persons or 8.5% over the five-year pe- riod, an average loss of 1.7% per annum. The number of speakers of Maltese was largest in Victoria (52.8%), followed by NSW (38.5%), SA, (4.2%), WA (2.6%) and ACT (1.2%). More information relating to Maltese in Australia will be released in due course. The first Maltese to come to Australia arrived as convicts around 1810. The first Maltese immigrant (as opposed to convict or bonded servant) is thought to have been Antonio Azzopardi who arrived in 1838.Many attempts were made at organised mass migration throughout the 19th century but it was only in 1883 the first group of 70 labourers (and nine stowaways) arrived. Group and mass migration gradually picked up, first, to Queensland and, after World War I, to Sydney whose automobile industry drew many. Immigration was not without difficulty as Maltese work- ers tended to be looked down upon and restrictions and quotas were applied. A significant percentage of the Maltese immigrants had intended to stay only temporarily for work but many settled in Australia per- manently. Maltese immigration to Australia reached its peak during the 1960s. The majority of Maltese immigrants reside in Melbourne's western suburbs of Sunshine (especially on Glengala Rd) and St Albans, and in Sydney's western suburbs of Greystanes and Horsley Park. The Maltese, as in their home country, are predominantly Roman Catholic. One of the first women to migrate from Malta to Australia was Carmela Sant in 1915. The move was prompted by her husband Giuseppe Ellul, who had migrated in 1913. Giuseppe Ellul was a stonemason in Mosta before moving to Australia to commence a successful career in sugar cane and dairy farming in 4 NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE MALTESE COMMUNITY OF WA Alb’s Megaphone Hello Members, It was great to see a good number of people at our recent AGM on the 11th June. It was again another full on year with many good things going on around the club. The next twelve months are perhaps going to be the most exciting with new goals to be achieved by our new committee. In fact, the new committee, as far as I am aware, is the youngest for a very long time. It still has a good mix of the more experienced, who will carry a good knowledge base, and those with a younger mindset that will deliver fresher and more contemporary ideas to help the club continue on into the future. Even though our membership decreased in 2016-17 when compared to the year before (2015-16), 2017-18 has started off very strongly with twelve new members already since mid-May, which is almost a new member to the club every week, a trend that I hope will continue. To the new members of our club, I thank you for joining us and we hope you will feel at home whenever you visit. Also to our loyal members, thank you for being very prompt with renewing your membership subscription. It not only makes my job easier, but more importantly, it shows the members love and commitment to our club. The table below displays a breakdown of our club membership over the last three years. It has declined over the last twelve months, which can be a worry- ing sign. So in saying that, I hope that you will continue to support our club again next year.

Some have complained about the authenticity of several of our life members. If I can set the record straight, every single name on that honour board, were in their year of induc- tion presented at the AGM and duly accepted by the members of the day. The complainers were either not a member at the time and thus ignorantly never knew the heart and soul that the particular Life Member had poured into the Maltese Association, or perhaps the complainers are just too pusillanimous to stand up and make an official protest at an AGM.

The catalogue of lost works describes a wide variety of material, including paintings considered copies of lost originals. Entries for untraced paintings include the city where they were identified in either a seventeenth-century source or inventory (“Inv.”). Most of the inventories have been published in the Getty Provenance Index, Los Angeles.

  • The Status of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Rights
    MALTA: THE STATUS OF LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL AND TRANSGENDER RIGHTS Submission to the Human Rights Council for Universal Periodic Review (5th Session) INTRODUCTION This information is submitted by the Malta Gay Rights Movement (MGRM)i and ILGA-Europeii and in the framework of the Universal Periodic Review, to draw the attention of the Human Rights Council to human rights concerns affecting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in Malta. This report is largely based on the recently conducted research LGBT Discrimination in Malta (to be published in December 2008iii) and Inclusion of Transgender Individuals into the Labour Market: A Research Study (2008). (See attached document). OVERVIEW Legal protection for lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) persons in Malta exists in the areas of employment, through the transposition of the European Union Employment Framework Directive (2000/78/EC). Transitioning transgender people are covered through the introduction of Chapter 452 Employment and Industrial Relations Act and Chapter 456 Equality for Men and Women Act and through the recast European Union Council Directive 2006/54/EC on the implementation of the principle of equal opportunities and equal treatment of men and women in matters of employment and occupation. Transgender persons who have undergone irreversible gender reassignment surgery may change the indication of sex in official documents, such as identity cards, birth certificates and passports.iv Pride marches have been held in Malta for the past 5 years in a peaceful and orderly manner. Representatives from political parties have on occasion also taken part. There is no possibility for same-sex couples in Malta to register or legalise their relationship.
