Australian Football League Due to the VSFL Eighteen's Competition I• ltlldl 1111• hmdJa IHMffi IHI• I·1 llililh\ Aiil ~g(m)ll )l~p~lj)t . mt I (I>\ THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER f4I I offer my report of /996 to members with satisfaction, however it also reflects concern. The positive is the present financial position of the League - without any funding assistance from the AFL, the NSWAFL through planning and management has been able to maintain its financial and service status. We welcome Ross Howarth as a new member of the Commission. Ross' early input has been outstanding and with the newly formed Sydney Football Board of Management, I j wish him well as he and his board plan the future of football in Sydney. The appointment of Ross followed the resignation of Peter Mackinlay in July. We thank Peter for his contribution as a member of the NSWAFL Commission and wish him well in his role as Chairman of the NSW-ACT Australian Football Development Foundation (NSW-ACT AFDF). Chief Commissioner On behalf of the NSWAFL, I congratulate the Sydney AFL Football Club's JOHN YATES management, coaches and players for their great season. They certainly have helped give our code a tremendous lift in profile throughout the State. Being your representative on the Swans board has been a great experience for me and I can assure you, the working relationship between the NSWAFL and the Sydney AFL club has strengthened. It is still early days in terms of consolidation but I am sure as the Sydney FC cements its high place in AFL ranks, their success will carry through to grassroots football and assist in the overall strengthening of Australian Football throughout NSW. The first year of full operation of the NSW-ACT AFDF has seen a great increase in junior numbers kicking our footy. The success of the Under 18 VSFL team, the Rams, in its first season of competition was both exciting and outstanding in making the Grand Final. Congratulations to the players, coach David Noble and all members of the Commissioner working party which brought this success to NSW-ACT. I believe the concept of the COL KOHLHAGEN Rams is great for this State however we must not lose sight of the role played by the NSWAFL. Apart from development programs, the NSWAFL is in place to ensure all football leagues are running efficiently and successfully; to absorb the influx of players so they can mature and proceed to play at a higher level. Only a few will make it through and reach AFL level, but the balance must be reached to ensure the level of player interest and competitive standards are maintained which will keep our players within the State. My major concern at this time is over the decision where all transfer fees are to be directed into the funds of the NSW-ACT AFDF to assist the development program. This move has been strongly opposed by affiliates from all over the State and on your behalf the Commission is challenging the AFF decision. Their proposals not to allow our affiliated League councils any funding, particularly junior clubs, is failure to reward the Commissioner REG TURNER efforts for creating the aspiration toward achieving the greatest possible success - failure to reward these bodies will have long-term repercussions at grassroots working level. To our sponsors, both major and associates, I thank you for your constant support of the NSWAFL - I trust you benefit widely for being part of our football family. In closing, I wish to thank a very faithful staff. Craig has done a tremendous job during 1996 in all aspects of management and fund-raising, to keep the League viable - Peter for his general football knowhow and management skills; Kris for her great abilities in the secretarial process, and Brendan for his level of dedication - the whole staff can feel proud for a job, well done. As I record my thanks to the permanent staff, I do not forget the many voluntary people who have assisted in the office during the season, and particularly Paul who answered Commissioner the phone and collected the various messages, well done Paul. JOHN LIVY To my fellow Commissioners, thank you for your dedication to the code. Of the nine years I have been a member of this Board, I state that the present Commission is the NSW-ACT UNDER 18 TEAM keenest and most dedicated I have experienced. Thank you gentlemen for your commitment and support, to myself and the staff. 1996 AFL UNDER 18 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS I wish all administrators across our many Leagues, Clubs and affiliated League Row 3: David Willett, Matthew Harrison, Renee loppi, Brad Fuller, Cameron McManus, Councils, all the best for the 1997 season and trust you all have a peaceful and joyous Craig Lambert, Travis Rankin, Mark Woodward, David Harrison.

    NSW Legislative Council Hansard Full Day Transcript Page 1 of 3 NSW Legislative Council Hansard Full Day Transcript Extract from NSW Legislative Council Hansard and Papers Tuesday, 21 September 2004. The Hon. ERIC ROOZENDAAL [5.02 p.m.] (Inaugural Speech): I support the Motor Accidents Legislation Amendment Bill. Madam President and honourable members, I am named after my grandfather, a man I never knew. He perished in Auschwitz in 1944. As he was herded into a train, he threw his signet ring to a local railway worker, who later gave it to my grandmother. I proudly wear that ring today. And I hope my grandfather is watching with pride as his grandson joins the oldest Parliament in Australia—a privilege to rival my previous job as head of the oldest branch of the oldest social democratic party in the world. It is therefore with great pride that I deliver my inaugural speech. I am filling the vacancy created by the departure of Tony Burke, who will shortly be elected as a member of the Latham Labor government. I have no doubt Tony will achieve greatness in our national Parliament. I am grateful for his assistance and advice during my transition into the Legislative Council. My presence in this place owes everything to the two great causes to which I have devoted my life: my family and the Labor Party. My beautiful wife, Amanda, and my three wonderful children, Liam, Harry and Jema, are my world. Amanda is a wonderful wife and mother, and, as my partner in life, my rock of support, for which I am eternally grateful.

  • Thesis August
    Chapter 1 Introduction Section 1.1: ‘A fit place for women’? Section 1.2: Problems of sex, gender and parliament Section 1.3: Gender and the Parliament, 1995-1999 Section 1.4: Expectations on female MPs Section 1.5: Outline of the thesis Section 1.1: ‘A fit place for women’? The Sydney Morning Herald of 27 August 1925 reported the first speech given by a female Member of Parliament (hereafter MP) in New South Wales. In the Legislative Assembly on the previous day, Millicent Preston-Stanley, Nationalist Party Member for the Eastern Suburbs, created history. According to the Herald: ‘Miss Stanley proceeded to illumine the House with a few little shafts of humour. “For many years”, she said, “I have in this House looked down upon honourable members from above. And I have wondered how so many old women have managed to get here - not only to get here, but to stay here”. The Herald continued: ‘The House figuratively rocked with laughter. Miss Stanley hastened to explain herself. “I am referring”, she said amidst further laughter, “not to the physical age of the old gentlemen in question, but to their mental age, and to that obvious vacuity of mind which characterises the old gentlemen to whom I have referred”. Members obviously could not afford to manifest any deep sense of injury because of a woman’s banter. They laughed instead’. Preston-Stanley’s speech marks an important point in gender politics. It introduced female participation in the Twenty-seventh Parliament. It stands chronologically midway between the introduction of responsible government in the 1850s and the Fifty-first Parliament elected in March 1995.

  • Informing the Euthanasia Debate: Perceptions of Australian Politicians
    1368 UNSW Law Journal Volume 41(4) INFORMING THE EUTHANASIA DEBATE: PERCEPTIONS OF AUSTRALIAN POLITICIANS ANDREW MCGEE,* KELLY PURSER,** CHRISTOPHER STACKPOOLE,*** BEN WHITE,**** LINDY WILLMOTT***** AND JULIET DAVIS****** In the debate on euthanasia or assisted dying, many different arguments have been advanced either for or against legal reform in the academic literature, and much contemporary academic research seeks to engage with these arguments. However, very little research has been undertaken to track the arguments that are being advanced by politicians when Bills proposing reform are debated in Parliament. Politicians will ultimately decide whether legislative reform will proceed and, if so, in what form. It is therefore essential to know what arguments the politicians are advancing in support of or against legal reform so that these arguments can be assessed and scrutinised. This article seeks to fill this gap by collecting, synthesising and mapping the pro- and anti-euthanasia and assisted dying arguments advanced by Australian politicians, starting from the time the first ever euthanasia Bill was introduced. I INTRODUCTION Euthanasia attracts continued media, societal and political attention.1 In particular, voluntary active euthanasia (‘VAE’) and physician-assisted suicide * BA (Hons) (Lancaster), LLB (Hons) (QUT), LLM (QUT), PhD (Essex); Senior Lecturer, Australian Centre for Health Law Research, Faculty of Law, Queensland University of Technology. ** BA/LLB (Hons) (UNE), PhD (UNE); Senior Lecturer, Australian Centre for Health Law Research, Faculty of Law, Queensland University of Technology. *** LLB/BBus (Hons) (QUT), BCL (Oxford). **** LLB (Hons) (QUT), DPhil (Oxford), Professor, Australian Centre for Health Law Research, Faculty of Law, Queensland University of Technology. ***** BCom (UQ), LLB (Hons) (UQ), LLM (Cambridge), PhD (QUT); Professor, Australian Centre for Health Law Research, Faculty of Law, Queensland University of Technology.
