Victoria Legal Aid community research
Get PDFResearch conducted in June and July 2014 found strong community support for the services provided by Victoria Legal Aid.
More than 1500 people were consulted as part of the research, with 92 per cent of respondents agreeing that it was important or very important for a government funded agency to help people who can’t afford legal services.
The community consultation was undertaken to inform the development of Victoria Legal Aid’s strategic directions for the next three years and beyond, and was the first such research VLA have ever conducted.
Respondents nominated people on a low income (79%), people experiencing or at risk of experiencing family violence (73%) and people with a disability (72%) as most deserving of legal aid. This is aligned with Victoria Legal Aid’s priority clients
walata tyamateetj: a guide to government records about Aboriginal people in Victoria
Get PDFPreface
A joint guide to government records about Aboriginal people held in Victoria was first published by the National Archives of Australia and Public Record Office Victoria in 1993, during the International Year of the World’s Indigenous People. This guide, called My Heart is Breaking, was subsequently reprinted in 1994 and again in 1997 following Bringing Them Home: Report of the National Inquiry into the Separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children from their Families.
The records listings originally compiled by Ian MacFarlane and Myrna Deverall have provided the groundwork for this new publication. Demand continues for a guide that assists both the Koorie community and other researchers to access records from Victorian government agencies that relate to Aboriginal people.
walata tyamateetj includes information about Victoria’s Aboriginal records through a comprehensive listing of records, and provides an opportunity to publish a guide to the records in both hard copy and electronic formats. Uniquely for Victoria, the records created by the many Victorian government agencies overseeing the administration of Aboriginal affairs have become part of the collections held by both Public Record Office Victoria and the National Archives of Australia.
The collection was separated due to an administrative change of responsibility for Aboriginal affairs from the State to the Commonwealth in 1975. This guide highlights the wealth of material about Aboriginal Victorians that can be found within government archives, and assists researchers to access these records, regardless of which archive they are currently in. walata tyamateetj is one of many joint initiatives between Public Record Office Victoria and the National Archives of Australia to raise awareness of available resources for Aboriginal Victorians and to improve access to government records about Aboriginal people, families, communities and culture.
Much has been achieved in the years since the first guide to records was published 20 years ago. In 2004 a joint Koorie Reference Officer role was created to work across both organisations. The role is now a focal point for the provision of services to the Aboriginal community and part of a small team known as the Koorie Records Unit, which was established within the corporate structure of Public Record Office Victoria with a view to continuing cooperation with the National Archives of Australia.
The creation of a shared reading room facility at the Victorian Archives Centre has also been emblematic of the broader cooperation between the two organisations. The Victorian Archives Centre in North Melbourne provides a central place to access and research the records listed in this guide. Other collaborations between the National Archives of Australia’s Melbourne office and Public Record Office Victoria to promote and improve accessibility to records relating to Aboriginal people held by government and other organisations include publications, workshops and training, and grants programs targeted at highlighting and raising awareness of the rich collection of Aboriginal resources available in Victoria. The Victorian Koorie Records Taskforce provided leadership for many of these initiatives between 2001 and 2011
Imperialist women in Edwardian Britain : the Victoria League, 1899-1914
No full textThis thesis, based on private papers, society records, autobiographies and
memoirs, newspapers and periodicals, examines one mainly female imperialist
organisation - the Victoria League - and the women who ran it. It considers two related
questions - what made Edwardian women imperialist, and how, within the limits of
Edwardian society, could they express their imperialism? The thesis shows that several of
the League's founders and executive had visited South Africa during or shortly before
the Boer War, and that this experience, particularly for those who came into close contact
with Milner, was pivotal in stimulating them to active imperialism. The Victoria League,
founded April 1901, aimed to promote imperial unity and a British South Africa in a
variety of suitably 'womanly' ways: Boer War charities, imperial education, exporting
literature and art to the white dominions (particularly the Transvaal), welcoming colonial
visitors to Britain, arranging for the welcome of British settlers in the colonies, and
promoting social reform as an imperial issue. It worked overseas through a number of
independent Victoria Leagues in Australasia, the Imperial Order, Daughters of the Empire
in Canada, and the Guild of Loyal Women in South Africa; and at home with a number
of similar (though largely male) imperial propaganda societies. The thesis also considers
the Victoria League's attitude to race, particularly through its debate over entertaining
Indian students. It ends with a discussion of the options available to imperialist women;
and of the obstacles they faced in questions of authority (how far and in what ways a woman
could pronounce on imperial subjects) and of ideology (as expressed through the anti-suffrage
campaign). It concludes that the Victoria League, by transferring areas of
activity long acknowledged as 'feminine' to the imperial stage, redefined areas of female
competence and enlarged woman's 'separate sphere' to include the active propagation of
imperialism

Exploring Transnational Identities in Ondaatje\u27s Anil\u27s Ghost
Get PDFVictoria Cook, in Exploring Transnational Identities in Ondaatje\u27s Anil\u27s Ghost, addresses issues of identity raised in the narrative of Michael Ondaatje\u27s novel Anil\u27s Ghost. Cook\u27s paper is a close analysis of Ondaatje\u27s novel, paying particular attention to the way in which Ondaatje examines identity as both a construct and a process. The approach used is one that draws on postcolonial theory and takes a transnational perspective. Cook argues that Ondaatje\u27s text moves beyond the concept of a postcolonial literature of resistance into an area that requires a theory of process rather than product. Transnationalism is shown here to be just such a theory, in that it captures something of this fluidity: the analysis is underpinned, therefore, by the application of transnational theory, as put forward by critics such as Paul Giles. Names and naming are the main themes addressed in the course of this argument, with regard to the way in which they impact on issues of identification. Finally, Cook explores in her paper issues of identity in Anil\u27s Ghost, identity that traverses cultural and national boundaries and encompasses both central and marginal positions
Tertiary Education Migration and Cook Islands' Development
No full textIn 2016, field research in the Cook Islands explored the correlation of migration, education and development in the Pacific by focussing on the impacts of tertiary education migration on the development of the Cook Islands. A total of 29 participants contributed to this research, most fitting into at least one of these three categories: a) returned tertiary education migrants b) non-returned education migrants, and c) Cook Islands Governmental officials.
Depopulation is one of the greatest challenges for the Cook Islands today. While striving for rapid development and for meaningful participation in an ever-changing global economy, obtaining overseas university degrees is seen as an attractive option for many young Cook Islanders. It is not only seen as a way to contribute to the development of their home country, but to also ensure that opportunities for personal growth are abundant. With many fearing that the departure of the ‘brightest minds’ to overseas universities results in brain drain, this research explores the drivers for the decision-making regarding migration. It further discusses the lived realities of tertiary education migrants who chose to return home after obtaining an overseas university degree and the implications of this movement for the Cook Islands Government.
This research found that the key drivers for the decision-making regarding tertiary education migration may not be reduced to the availability of quality university study, but that there is a variety of other factors that influence young Cook Islanders. Instead of preventing young promising Cook Islanders from leaving the country, this research suggests that the overseas diaspora could be a valuable resource to contribute to Cook Islands’ development. Further, this research found that strictly applying the neo-classical approach to migratory processes does not seem sufficient to explain the perceived hurdles and enablers for returned graduates from the Cook Islands
