    President’s Annual Report for 2019/20 As President of the ACT Branch of Lord’s Taverners Australia, I am pleased to present my report for 2019/20. Support for the Young and Disadvantaged We were pleased in this financial year to be able to disburse $38,107 to deserving causes which support our aim of giving the young and disadvantaged a sporting chance. As in past years, this included “Spirit of Cricket” awards for Cricket ACT’s competition; Junior Taverners Awards to the value of $1500 each, plus a Kookaburra cricket kit to two promising young cricketers from the region – Clare Levings and Ethan Fitzpatrick; funding for Cricket ACT’s program for the development of cricket for girls; a contribution to the National Cricket Inclusion Championships, which are played among all-ability teams annually; and a contribution to Sunrise Rotary’s Dream Cricket Gala Day, which enables young people with disabilities to play cricket. This year we also provided tickets to enable a group of 70 indigenous children from the Clontarf Foundation to attend an international match at Manuka Oval and funding to enable Variety Every Chance to Play to meet club fees for economically disadvantaged young cricketers. In response to the extraordinary conditions faced last summer, we provided $2500 to help five cricket clubs in drought-stricken rural areas of NSW keep going through the season and $1650 for Cricket ACT’s fundraiser for bushfire-affected clubs. As well, for the 13th successive year, the Lord’s Taverners ACT Disabilities Scholarship scheme provided scholarships and grants to the value of $8500 to 13 young athletes.

  • China (Includes Tibet, Hong Kong, and Macau) 2018 Human Rights Report
    CHINA (INCLUDES TIBET, HONG KONG, AND MACAU) 2018 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is an authoritarian state in which the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is the paramount authority. CCP members hold almost all top government and security apparatus positions. Ultimate authority rests with the CCP Central Committee’s 25-member Political Bureau (Politburo) and its seven-member Standing Committee. Xi Jinping continued to hold the three most powerful positions as CCP general secretary, state president, and chairman of the Central Military Commission. Civilian authorities maintained control of security forces. During the year the government significantly intensified its campaign of mass detention of members of Muslim minority groups in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (Xinjiang). Authorities were reported to have arbitrarily detained 800,000 to possibly more than two million Uighurs, ethnic Kazakhs, and other Muslims in internment camps designed to erase religious and ethnic identities. Government officials claimed the camps were needed to combat terrorism, separatism, and extremism. International media, human rights organizations, and former detainees reported security officials in the camps abused, tortured, and killed some detainees. Human rights issues included arbitrary or unlawful killings by the government; forced disappearances by the government; torture by the government; arbitrary detention by the government; harsh and life-threatening prison and detention conditions; political prisoners;

  • NEWSLETTER ISSN 1443-4962 No
    Colac, Victoria, celebrated 150 years of newspaper publication this year. Four newspapers had been started there by 1902 when its first and only daily appeared. With the financial backing of a local medical practitioner, Joseph Gillis Wynne, the Colac Daily News was launched on 24 March 1902, with journalist James Cleary Roach as printer and publisher (see colophon below). The paper ceased publication on 20 October 1903, after the plant and machinery had been seized by the bailiffs. The only available files of the paper are in hard copy in six packages (see above) held at the Ballarat stores depot of the State Library of Victoria. Each issue is folded and so fragile it threatens to disintegrate with even the gentlest handling, making it extremely difficult to study them in detail. Your editor viewed them in the Heritage Collection Room of SLV, Melbourne. The Colac Herald, the town’s second paper, was launched on 22 October 1869 and is still published.
