  • Sir Peter Leitch | Newsletter
    THE ACTION KICKS OFF THIS SATURDAY NIGHT Sir Peter Leitch Club Newsletter RLWC 2017 24th October 2017 It’s 4 days until the Kiwis play # their first game of the 2017 RLWC 193 Back The Kiwis By Enjoying Lunch By David Kemeys Former Sunday Star-Times Editor, Former Editor-in-Chief Suburban Newspapers, Long Suffering Warriors Fan E ARE only days from the kick-off of the 2017 Rugby League World Cup, with Australia and England W– in what will be a hell of a match - doing the honours on Friday night. Of course the Kiwis take on Samoa on Saturday night at Mt Smart, and that one should be a good game too. League legend Olsen Filipaina is taking the ball out, which is pretty cool given he has represented the Kiwis and Samoa. The game I am looking forward to is the Kiwis v Tonga in Hamilton, because there is not going to be a lot of love lost when those two sides meet, after everything that has gone on. Before a ball is kicked I have the Kiwis lunch at the Ellerslie Events Centre to look forward to on Friday. When Pete asked if I would take it on with Gordon Gibbons and Tony Feasey, I foolishly said yes, not want- ing to let Pete down. But in truth Gordon has been amazing and we have an incredible line-up of Kiwis greats taking to the stage, and players with a long history of World Cup and test glory in attendance. I have been to several of Peter’s Kiwis lunches and enjoyed every one of them.

  • Attitudes to Safety and Organisational Culture in Australian
    ATTITUDES TO SAFETY AND ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE IN AUSTRALIAN MILITARY AVIATION B. T. FALCONER A thesis submitted in fulfilment Of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Aviation University of New South Wales June, 2006 ABSTRACT This thesis describes original research that examines the extent to which organisational culture, and psychosocial aspects specifically, relate to individuals’ ‘normal’ performance within Australian Defence Force (ADF) aviation. The primary rationale for the research relates to the ‘safety record’ of ADF aviation, whereby more than fifty ‘peace time’ fatalities have occurred in ADF aviation accidents since 1990 and many of these have links to organisational culture attributes. The secondary rationale relates to a more general perspective: previous research identifies human functioning in military aviation – more than any other aviation domain – as being dependent upon psychosocial attributes including interpersonal collaboration, communication and coordination. However, the depth to which such qualities impact the safety of a sociotechnical system remains substantially uncharted. The methodology of this research has been developed to fit the context of ADF aviation, in contrast to applying pre-existing ‘universal’ methods (e.g., Hofstede’s cultural dimensions) developed without reference to the cultural attributes of specific organisations. More generally, though equally important, this research is further innovative in that it responds to the challenges posed by the need to address systemic aspects of safety confronting aviation and numerous other sociotechnical industries. This thesis firstly examines both scientific and Australian military literature on organisational behaviour, culture and human factors. Subsequently, it describes the design and implementation of a new 45-item questionnaire – the Australian Defence Force Aviation Questionnaire (ADFAQ).

Typeset in A Garamond and ITC Officina Sans Book. Preface By the mid 19 th Century, unable to sustain their large families during the potato famine and after years of impost by government and landlords, many Irish turned to the distant shores of Australia, the Americas, England and New Zealand, looking for a fuller life. The anniversary of the first migration of members of the Carrucan families of Fanore and Fisherstreet [Doolin], provides an occasion to honour those forebears who faced critical decisions concerning a family's survival. Bridget Carrucan was first of this family to leave the home village of Fanore, County Clare, in November 1853 Soon after her marriage in Australia, her brothers Patrick and Peter joined her and were followed by their mother after their father's death in 1862. In the 1880's, two of their great-nieces chose to migrate to the USA while a cousin, also named Bridget 1 went to South Australia. From these small beginnings a family numbering more than five thousand members has burgeoned. A tribute to the Carrucan Clan records 2 '…there is a saying in the Irish language - still spoken in the land where your forebears were born - Mura gcuirfidh tú san earrach ní bhainfidh tú san fhómhar - which can be translated - if you do not sow in the Spring you will not reap in the Autumn.' It is those forbears whom we honour and dedicate this Book.

  • In My Blood It Runs
    History. Learning. Love. Resistance. IN MY BLOOD IT RUNS Directed by Maya Newell In Collaboration with Dujuan Hoosan, Carol Turner, Megan Hoosan, James Mawson, Margaret Anderson LOGLINE When Dujuan cannot run nor fight alone, he faces the history that runs straight into him and realises that not only has he inherited the trauma and dispossession of his land, but also the resilience and resistance of many generations of his people which holds the key to his future. SYNOPSIS Ten-year-old Dujuan is a child-healer, a good hunter and speaks three languages. As he shares his wisdom of history and the complex world around him we see his spark and intelligence. Yet Dujuan is ‘failing’ in school and facing increasing scrutiny from welfare and the police. As he travels perilously close to incarceration, his family fight to give him a strong Arrernte education alongside his western education lest he becomes another statistic. We walk with him as he grapples with these pressures, shares his truths and somewhere in-between finds space to dream, imagine and hope for his future self. “When you go out bush every week, you learn how to control your anger, and you learn how to control your life” 2 “Aboriginals have still survived here.” LONG SYNOPSIS Ten-year-old Dujuan is a child-healer, a good hunter and speaks three languages. As he shares his wisdom of history and the complex world around him we see his spark and intelligence. Yet Dujuan is ‘failing’ in school and facing increasing scrutiny from welfare and the police.
