  • 16 November 2018 Jill Gallagher AO Victorian Treaty
    16 November 2018 Jill Gallagher AO Victorian Treaty Advancement Commissioner 116 Cardigan Street Carlton VIC 3053 By email to: [email protected] Dear Jill Submission on the proposed Aboriginal Representative Body model As you know, the Federation of Victorian Traditional Owner Corporations is the peak body representing the interests of Victorian Traditional Owners who have or are in the process of gaining recognition under the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth), Traditional Owner Settlement Act 2010 (Vic), or the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006 (Vic). Traditional Owner corporations are the primary vehicle through which traditional groups and bodies (however described, be they nations, peoples or clans) have organised for the purpose of asserting and exercising traditional rights to country. We acknowledge that the proposal put forward by the Victorian Treaty Advancement Commission (Commission) envisions such corporations playing a substantial role in the Aboriginal Representative Body, and accordingly, we welcome this opportunity to respond to the proposed model. Please find enclosed our submission. As you can see, we generally support the proposal, and commend the Commission for its diligent work in its development. However, we also provide a number of recommendations which we believe may ultimately strengthen the model and the Treaty process in general. If you have any questions or would like to discuss our submission further, please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours sincerely Marcus Stewart Chief Executive Officer PO Box 431 North Melbourne VIC 3051 (03) 9321 5388 [email protected] www.fvtoc.com.au ABN: 40 164 514 121 Submission on the proposed Aboriginal Representative Body model Introduction This submission is a response to the proposed structure of the Aboriginal Representative Body (ARB), as developed by the Victorian Treaty Advancement Commission (Commission) and set out in the publication titled Treaty Statewide Gathering, dated 25 September 2018 (Proposal).

As many degrees of symbiosis, a phenomenon in which two unrelated organisms coexist over a prolonged period of time while depending on each other, occur, it is not easy to unequivocally define parasitism (Cheng, 1991).

  • Inquiry Into the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Tourism and Events Sectors Submission 119
    LC EIC Inquiry into the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism and events sectors Submission 119 Parliament of Victoria, Legislative Council Economy and Infrastructure Committee Inquiry into the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism and events sectors Museums Victoria submission 1. About Museums Victoria Museums Victoria is Australasia’s largest museum organisation, comprising three museums – Melbourne Museum, Scienceworks and the Immigration Museum – the Royal Exhibition Building and IMAX Melbourne. In 2018-19 we connected with more than 9 million people at our museums, across our digital platforms and through our outreach program. Museums Victoria manages the State Collection of more than 17 million objects that record Victoria’s social, natural and cultural histories. This collection is a vital foundation for research and ongoing discovery into Victoria’s society and environment, with research shared globally through partnerships with leading research institutions. 2. Coronavirus (COVID-19) impacts The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic’s impact has had both immediate and long-term impact on Museums Victoria. Lockdowns during 2020 caused Melbourne Museum, Scienceworks and the Immigration Museum to be closed to all visitors for a total of 35 weeks. This directly impacted almost all revenue streams for the museums, with no admissions or related commercial activity (onsite retail, retail and event catering, venue hire, car park). The museums reopened to the public on 16 November 2020. While there was strong demand for tickets, capacity and density limitations slowed recovery during a typically peak visitation period. The lack of tourism audiences has been and continues to be particularly significant.
