  • Your Candidates Metropolitan
    YOUR CANDIDATES METROPOLITAN First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria Election 2019 “TREATY TO ME IS A RECOGNITION THAT WE ARE THE FIRST INHABITANTS OF THIS COUNTRY AND THAT OUR VOICE BE HEARD AND RESPECTED” Uncle Archie Roach VOTING IS OPEN FROM 16 SEPTEMBER – 20 OCTOBER 2019 Treaties are our self-determining right. They can give us justice for the past and hope for the future. The First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria will be our voice as we work towards Treaties. The First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria will be set up this year, with its first meeting set to be held in December. The Assembly will be a powerful, independent and culturally strong organisation made up of 32 Victorian Traditional Owners. If you’re a Victorian Traditional Owner or an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person living in Victoria, you’re eligible to vote for your Assembly representatives through a historic election process. Your voice matters, your vote is crucial. HAVE YOU ENROLLED TO VOTE? To be able to vote, you’ll need to make sure you’re enrolled. This will only take you a few minutes. You can do this at the same time as voting, or before you vote. The Assembly election is completely Aboriginal owned and independent from any Government election (this includes the Victorian Electoral Commission and the Australian Electoral Commission). This means, even if you vote every year in other elections, you’ll still need to sign up to vote for your Assembly representatives. Don’t worry, your details will never be shared with Government, or any electoral commissions and you won’t get fined if you decide not to vote.

  • Nancy Millis
    Celebrating 50 years of the Australian Society for Microbiology Nancy Millis Born in Melbourne in 1922, Nancy Fannie Millis studied agriculture at the University of Melbourne, graduating with a Master of Agricultural Science in 1946. She spent a year studying agricultural methods in Papua New Guinea before travelling to the University of Bristol on a Boots Research Scholarship. It was here that Millis was introduced to fermentation, gaining her PhD in 1951. Upon her return to Australia, Millis was appointed to a lectureship in the Department of Microbiology at the University of Melbourne. A Fulbright travel grant allowed her to visit the United States and Japan in 1954, spending time at the Hopkins Marine Station at Stanford and the Institute of Applied Microbiology at the University of Tokyo. Millis was involved in teaching one of the first courses in biotechnology in Japan and later co-authored a textbook based on the course, which was one of the earliest of its kind. Millis pioneered the teaching of industrial microbiology at the University of Melbourne, instituting the applied microbiology course and concentrating on fermentation techniques and the physiology of microorganisms. She progressed to become the fourth woman appointed to a professorial position at the University when she was awarded a personal chair in 1982. Millis retired in 1987 and remains an Emeritus Professor in the Department of Microbiology. Upon its establishment in 1980, Millis became chair of the Commonwealth Government Recombinant DNA Monitoring Committee (later the Genetic Manipulation Advisory Committee). Her ground-breaking research into water quality and long association with the water industry helped to improve water treatment.

  • Writing a Literature Review Writing Centre Learning Guide
    Writing a Literature Review Writing Centre Learning Guide At some point in your university study, you may be asked to review the literature on a certain subject or in a particular area. Such a review involves comparing different writers’ ideas or perspectives on a topic and evaluating these ideas, all in relation to your own work. A literature review differs from an article review in that it involves writing about several writers’ ideas, rather than evaluating a single article. It is also different to an annotated bibliography, which is usually a series of short reflections on individual pieces of writing. Introduction The literature review enables you and your reader to get an overview of a certain subject, so that it is clear who the main writers are in the field, and which main points need to be addressed. It should be an evaluative piece of writing, rather than just a description. This means that you need to weigh up arguments and critique ideas, rather than just providing a list of what different writers have said. It is up to you to decide what the reader needs to know on the topic, but you should only include the main pieces of writing in this area; a literature review does not need to include everything ever written on the topic. The most important thing is to show how the literature relates to your own work. You may be writing a literature review as part of a thesis, or as an exercise in itself. Whatever the reason, there are many benefits to writing a literature review.
