  • The Indigenous Marathon Project Run. Sweat. Inspire Parliamentry Inquiry Into the Contribution of Sport
    Submission 049 The Indigenous Marathon Project Run. Sweat. Inspire Parliamentry Inquiry into the contribution of Sport to Indigenous wellbing and mentoring 1 Submission 049 IMP objectives 1. To promote healthy and active lifestyles throughout Indigenous communities nationally and reduce the incidence of Indigenous chronic disease: & 2. To create Indigenous distance running champions and to inspire Indigenous people. Background The Indigenous Marathon Project (IMP) was established in 2009 by World Champion marathon runner and 1983 Australian of the Year, Robert de Castella. IMP annually selects, educates, trains and takes a group of inspirational young Indigenous men and women aged 18-30 to compete in the world’s biggest marathon – the New York City Marathon. IMP is not a sports program. IMP is a social change program that uses the simple act of running as a vehicle to promote the benefits of active and healthy lifestyles and change lives. The group of men and women are similar to rocks in a pond, with their ripple effect continuing to inspire local family and community members as well as thousands of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians nationally. The Project highlights the incredible natural talent that exists within the Australian Indigenous population, with the hope to one day unearth an Indigenous long-distance running champion to take on the African dominance. The core running squad push their physical and mental boundaries to beyond what they ever thought they were capable of, and after crossing the finish line of the world’s biggest marathon, they know they can achieve anything. These runners are trained to become healthy lifestyle leaders by completing a Certificate IV in Health and Leisure, with a focus on Indigenous healthy lifestyle.

  • What It Is to Be Chinese in Australia Today
    Move on, Move on! What it is to be Chinese in Australia today Chek Ling Abstract The Chinese are all right now. On the whole the mainstream population is quite relaxed about the Chinese presence in their midst. That of course was not the case for the 100 years to the end of WWII. And so it should come as no surprise that now and again old scars will resurface. Yet the Chinese have metamorphosed in the psyche of mainstream Australia: honorary whites like Li Cunxin, lionized professionals like Victor Chang, are neon-lit signs of this change. All the same, as a huayi (overseas Chinese) immigrant, my observations over the last 50 years have compelled me to conclude that there is one last gate for the present-day Chinese to walk through, and that it is time for the remaining rearguards of White Australia to consciously remove themselves from that gate. Lambing Flat has lain in my subconscious, ever since I first heard of it some forty years prior. At the time, I would have been hard at it, trying to make a life in Australia, as an engineer, a situation I did not enjoy, having studied engineering by accident and not finding it to my liking after the first week. I had flown into Melbourne, on a Colombo Plan scholarship, a week or two before the lectures started in 1962, from Sarawak, the soon to be abandoned British Colony. Sarawak had been the private fiefdom of three generations of the Brooke family of Great Britain, until the end of the Second World War.
