Inequality a Major Threat

Bilal Cleland

dunk1689@gmail.com

Inequality in Australia Inequality has become more severe than ever before in Australia. The Australian Council of Social Services and the University of NSW, using ABS data 2017-18 found that the incomes of the top 20% were six times higher than the bottom 20%. In the past 15 years, the wealth of the top 20% has grown by 68% but that of the bottom 20% had grown only 6%. The average wealth of the top 20% was about $3.2 million but the bottom 20% had only $36,000 in assets and savings. As the economy opens up again after the pandemic the bottom 5% are expected to go backwards by about $5000 per year. It also noted that inequality amongst younger Australians has grown faster than the overall rate. ACOSS warns of a “social and economic catastrophe once most COVID-19 government supports are removed.” [2 September 2020 ABC News] The future for the young, given the slipping scores of Australian students, revealed in the latest Programme for International Student Assessment, is not encouraging. “Australian 15-year-olds are now below the OECD average in mathematics and our results in reading and science have fallen badly,” reports Professor Holden of the UNSW. [6 December 2020 The Conversation] In a globalised world of international trade and labour mobility our relative level of skills becomes a major issue affecting “ productivity living standards and income inequality.” The most stark indication of growing inequality is the rise in homelessness.

There is a very serious danger confronting our civilisation. It is income inequality, the destroyer of civilisations, according to Stanford University professor, Walter Scheidel. He claims that only state collapse, disease, war and revolution have really levelled income in the past but he does concede that there are policies which might mitigate what is becoming a very dangerous trend in the USA. Emphasis put upon the education of young people and the retraining of older people could help. The implementation of a wealth tax on the super rich section of the 1% would also help but he does not see a real solution in such policies. [11 February 2019 Maven Roundtable] Although Australia is one of the world’s wealthiest countries, Gerry Georgatos, the national coordinator of the National Suicide Prevention and Trauma Recovery Project, points out that we have the third-highest rate of homelessness in the OECD. According to the ABS 117,000 Australian suffer from some form of homelessness and about 20% are children aged 12 years and less. Georgatos argues that there are some 300,000 who are actually homeless with 15,000 sleeping on the streets. “Several years ago, Bethlehem House the only men’s shelter in Hobart, found the average age of death of the homeless they supported was in the 40s.” [25 September 2020 Independent Australia]

Suicide rates are related to poverty A US study links suicide increases with times of high unemployment, which is what the world is facing post-COVID-19. “The new study examined suicide rates from 1990 through 2015 across all 50 states and Washington, and measured how they changed as the minimum wage increased. …, the researchers estimated that a $1 increase in the minimum wage corresponded with a 3.5 percent decrease in the suicide rate for those with a high school education or less. Without some of the controls, the decrease in the suicide rate was 6 percent. The effect was most pronounced during times of high unemployment.” [14 January 2020 NYT] Another study of suicide rates in Australia has similar conclusions. “Recent widening socioeconomic inequalities in Australian suicide have been primarily associated with declines

in suicide rates in high SES areas. However, an increasing inequality in older male suicide is linked with low SES. Efforts targeting people from poor areas, especially older males, should be considered when developing suicide prevention strategy.” [Too, L.S., Law, P.C.F., Spittal, M.J. et al. Widening socioeconomic inequalities in Australian suicide, despite recent declines in suicide rates. Soc Psychiatry Psychiatr Epidemiol 53, 969–976 (2018)]. The most disadvantaged community in Australia is that of the First Nations people. Research by journalist Gerry Georgatos found “that the prevalence of spates of suicides among Australian Aboriginal youth are the world’s highest, and that these spates are becoming more prevalent and settling in to higher medians year in year out.” [www.creativespirits.info]

Government policies pander to obscene wealth Despite such data, ABC business reporter Michael Janda reported; “Back in 1984, Australia’s 200 richest people had a combined wealth of $6.4 billion…..this year’s list reveals a combined wealth of $342 billion.” The wealth is flowing to the top 1%. [31 May 2019 ABC News] This is part of an international trend. It has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. “A report by Swiss bank UBS found that billionaires increased their wealth by more than a quarter (27.5%) at the height of the crisis from April to July.” [7 October 2020 Rupert Neate Guardian] This sort of imbalance is of course economically and socially destructive.

There will be a strike back from those being fleeced. In this developing imbalance we would expect government to tackle the problem but here in Australia we have a ruling political party which is catering to its main supporters. The October Frydenberg-Morrison Budget, in the words of the Australia Institute, “will permanently widen inequality in Australia…” “The Australia Institute’s analysis found that in 2020-21, 41% of the government’s tax plan will go to the top 20% of income earners, who earn about $102,000. The bottom 20% of taxpayers receive only 4%. In 2021-22, 88% of the government’s tax plan will go to the top 20% of income earners. The bottom 20% get nothing, the think tank found.” [7 October 2020 Guardian] Tax cuts to the rich will not stimulate spending but will keep the party donors happy. The rights of the needy, of the disadvantaged and the vulnerable are being ignored and this creates peril for social stability and the continuation of civilised society. The Christians in the government, of which there are supposed to be many, would do well to remember the words of the Magnificat: He has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. The author is a prominent Australian Muslim scholar and activist.

GIFT OF KINDNESS

In [Almost] Any Relationship, Kindness Is King By Jamilah Samian

www.coolmumsuperdad.com

“Kindness is not found in anything, but it adds beauty to it, and if it is withdrawn from anything, it defects it.” - Hadith al Jami’ al Sagheer. Let’s talk about marriage. Suppose you feel like your marriage has lost its spark. You no longer feel attracted to your spouse, there’s nothing to look forward to in your marriage and even worse, you might even feel that the marriage itself is a stumbling block to your happiness. What do you do? I’d like to suggest you give your marriage one more chance by considering the kindness cure. The penchant for kindness cuts across generations, creed and colour. You might have noticed it yourself. Family or friend, man or woman of all ages and stages adore kindness. Look at any successful relationship between man and woman where both parties are truly contented, and chances are, kindness has a big part to play. Take away kindness and the relationship is likely to wither eventually. Kindness is the secret to conquering a human heart – man or

woman, family or friend. “Constant kindness can accomplish a lot. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.” So said Albert Schweitzer. How true! Every kind act you choose to do opens the doors of goodwill and trust. If things fail to work between you and her, you can’t change her. But you can change you, yes YOU. The way you talk, how you express your thoughts. Ask yourself: How can I say this in a way to inspire her to see and do things better? A beautiful relationship is about winning hearts, not arguments. It’s about outdoing one another in kindness. It’s more of “What’s in it for us?”, less of “What’s in it for me?” It’s more of “What can I do for you?”, less of “What can you do for me?” Let us together unearth specific and practical ways on how you can choose to be kind to your spouse for the sake of growing a happy and successful marriage - unless you’re caught in an abusive marriage, where the right thing to do is to pack

and leave. Ultimately, kindness is a choice that you make every day. To start with, consider these quick tips to win your spouse over with your kindness: • Be sensitive. It might mean not to watch a YouTube video. Help her clean up after dinner instead. It might mean not to ignore the piling laundry. Throw it into the wash so you and her could have half-an-hour of down time together. • Watch your tongue. It might mean self-restraint, keeping your lips sealed. Resist the urge to dig out a past she would rather forget. It might mean not to blurt out “It’s your fault” when he made an error. Or not to vent out your anger when you are really upset. Wait for an opportune time when both of you can sit and talk to each other. • Share the praise and share the blame. The first part is easy. Who doesn’t want to be recognised for a job well done? The second part is tricky. It goes against your pride and ego. The next time something goes wrong, accept your share of the blame. Your relationship might just take a leap. Try it. You’ll see.

Did you know that kindness is the strongest predictor to the long-term success of a marriage? Too many marriages fail because people have little idea how consistent kindness can make a real difference in the long run. The things that make a married man or woman green with envy are not only the branded items they see others wear, or the exquisite holidays their neighbours can afford. Rather, it’s more of hearing about the little acts of kindness that other married people do for their spouses. You and your spouse are God’s gifts to one another. God gives us what we need, not what we want. You and your spouse share a precious history that no one else is privy to. Regardless of the state of your relationship today, your marriage has brought you together.

Supporting tourism and agriculture through Visa Application Charge changes Visitors Visitor visa holders who are overseas and whose visas expired or will expire between March 2020 and December 2021 will be eligible for a waiver when they apply for a new visa. This will help support the rebound of Australia’s $45 billion international tourism sector when international travel restrictions ease.

Working holiday makers Backpackers on Working Holiday Maker visas who have been unable to come to Australia or who had to leave Australia early due to COVID-19 will also be eligible for a waiver, when they decide to return to Australia. Those who are unable to return because they have passed the age limit for a Working Holiday Maker visa will be able to claim a refund. Working Holiday Makers are a major contributor to Australia’s tourism industry and also fill critical workforce shortages, particularly in regional and rural Australia. On average, they spend all their money in Australia, contributing more than $3 billion a year to the economy and supporting local jobs. These changes build on a number of measures announced by the Morrison Government to allow

Working Holiday Makers to remain in Australia longer and support the critical sectors of health, aged care, disability care, childcare, agriculture and food processing.

Seasonal Worker Program and Pacific Labour Scheme workers Seasonal Worker Program and Pacific Labour Scheme visa holders will also be eligible for a refund of the VAC if they were granted a visa before 20 March 2020 and have been unable to travel to Australia due to COVID-19 These programs restarted in August to help fill labour shortages in key industries, particularly the farming sector. Visa conditions for these workers have also been temporarily relaxed and options are available for them to extend their stay in Australia for up to 12 months to support the agriculture sector.

Temporary skilled workers Due to travel restrictions there are many Temporary Skill Shortage and Temporary Work (Skilled) visa holders who have not made their initial entry to Australia, or have returned home due to COVID-19 and may wish to apply again. To support local businesses that seek to access

critical skills not available in the local labour workforce, the Government will offer a waiver of the VAC for subsequent applications by affected temporary employer sponsored skilled migrants. Subsequent skilled visa applications will still be subject to the strict labour market testing requirements to ensure Australians have first priority for jobs.

Prospective Marriage visa holders The Prospective Marriage visa provides holders with nine months to travel to Australia to marry an Australian citizen or permanent resident. VAC refunds will be available for Prospective Marriage visa holders who have been unable to enter Australia before their visa expired, due to COVID-19 related travel restrictions. Refunds will ensure these visa holders are able to apply for another visa to travel to Australia and hold their wedding once travel restrictions are lifted. For those visas that have already expired, any new application will be prioritised. Visa extensions will be available for Prospective Marriage visa holders whose visas are still valid. Further details will soon be available on the Department of Home Affairs website.

Conditions of Halal Meat in Islam Dr Bekim Hasani

Head of Shariah Affairs, ICCV

Food is an essential part of our lives, therefore it has great significance in Islam. As a matter of fact, food and its derivatives is mentioned in the Quran 49 times. A fundamental principle in Islam pertaining to Halal (Permissible) is that everything placed on earth by God is for our benefit, except for that which is specifically stated as Haram (Unlawful) in either the Qur’an, or Sunnah. Among the food that is good and pure, which Allah (swt) has allowed mankind to consume, we find rulings on the range of permissible meats, as well as the meat of animals requiring Allah’s name to be invoked to make it Halal for consumption.

In order for meat to be Halal for consumption, it has to go through certain conditions, such as the following: Animals/ Birds: Animals that survive on grass and leaves, as well as those that do not prey on other animals (nonpredatory animals), are all considered Halal. Animals that fall under this category include: cattle, goats, sheep, deer, buffalo, camel, chicken, duck, etc. It’s important to mention that each of the four Islamic School of Thoughts have their own principles in regards to which animals are Halal and Haram for consumption.

The Slaughterer: The person performing the slaughtering of the animal (zabh) must be of sound mind and a mature (adult) Muslim. The Muslim can be of either gender. The meat

from an animal slaughtered by an idolater, or a nonbeliever, is not acceptable in Islam.

The Method of slaughter (zabh): There are two key conditions to consider when slaughtering an animal: 1. The name of Allah must be mentioned (Tasmiyyah) by saying Bismillah (in the name of Allah), or Bismillah Allahu Akbar (In the name of God, God is great) before making an insertion to the throat of the animal. 2. The slaughter must always be performed in a manner that is least painful to the animal. The knife must be sharpened and must not kill the animal due to its weight. The slaughtering must be done in one stroke without lifting the knife.

AL WASAT 114 ¿ Safar 1442 ¿ October 2020 ‫ هـ ¿ تشرين األول‬1442 ‫ ¿ صفر‬114 ‫الوسط‬

It is important to note that the vast majority of Halal slaughter in Australia comply with standard slaughter practice where all animals are stunned prior to slaughter.

The Cut and Bleeding:

carotid arteries and both jugular veins without the knife touching the bones of the spine (vertebrae). The method of Halal slaughter allows rapid and efficient bleeding of the animal. The blood from the animal must be completely drained before skinning.

The incision should be made in the neck by cutting both

When it comes to meat, just like any other food,

Islamic dietary law also requires that the meat is not only Halal, but that it is also wholesome and fit for human consumption (Tayyib). Therefore, any food failing this prerequisite automatically becomes Haram. The same Islamic dietary law also applies to restaurants that purchase Halal meat from suppliers. Restaurants must ensure that Halal meat is cooked with Halal ingredients, especially when using other animal based ingredients, so that the Halal meat is wholesome and fit for human consumption Finally, it is very important for meats, as well as other food, to also be cooked in hygienic conditions to ensure that no food pathogens are allowed to contaminate the food.

THE TOOTH AND THE SUN By Rania Ahmed

as easy as replacing the old with the new. Stress and worry cannot just disappear like my old tooth.

Losing teeth is a special part of childhood, but for me it was magical. We never had a tooth fairy back home, instead, we had the sun. As a child, the sun was the greatest thing there is, something beyond reach which shines the world brighter. Children would wait for the sun to rise while holding on to their fallen tooth in the balcony. The tooth is supposedly sent to the sun and the sun is asked to take the old tooth and bring a beautiful tooth. It was magical knowing that something that is not suitable can be replaced just by talking to the sun. Being a child was beautiful until you grow up and realize life is not

As life progressed, so did problems. I worried about my family in the first few years of migration, but they were not the only thing I worried about. I worried about the future, my studies, friends, my career and pretty much everything. It was a coping mechanism, to stress. It helped to get things done, until it became a barrier in my life. It’s important that children develop life skills to help them cope with stress and the everyday pressures of life, skills to mature their resilience. In a migrant home, this is hard because you are busy doing so many things like putting food on the table, trying to translate a letter written by the

AL WASAT 114 ¿ Safar 1442 ¿ October 2020 ‫ هـ ¿ تشرين األول‬1442 ‫ ¿ صفر‬114 ‫الوسط‬

teacher as to why your daughter does not want to hold hands with a boy in dance class, a phone call from the principle asking why your kid in grade one needs to starve at school?. All this needs to be explained in a foreign language and in a way which does not sound barbaric. It felt like you are being pulled from different directions while trying to develop healthy problem-solving skills. Then there is diplomacy, something migrant parents have probably never heard of especially when it comes to raising children in Australia. It was hard for my poor parents to unlearn everything they grew up with and relearn new ways of communicating with their children in a society where children had a voice and were encouraged to have one. Therefore, it was obvious why stress relief strategies

may have been missed along with other things. The truth is, teeth don’t always fall out, some are pulled out with pain and blood. A lot of good can come out of this as well. Pain is part of life and that is healthy especially if you know how to handle it. You are allowed to be sad, scream, be angry, but you also need to learn. For me I learnt the hard way. Life teaches you eventually, but it’s harsh, a little like a soccer coach. You fall and you have to get up quickly so you can fall again. And yes, sometimes, when I reach a dead end, I do feel like putting life in my hand and throwing it at the sun, but I soon realize, I can no longer ignore the laws of gravity.

Protecting partner visa applicants against family violence The Morrison Government is strengthening the Partner visa program to further protect vulnerable migrants from people who commit violent crimes against women and children. Family violence is unacceptable and will not be tolerated under any circumstance. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you come from, whether you are here on a visa or have Australian citizenship – no one should be trapped in a violent relationship. Sadly we know some Partner visa applicants, particularly those with low English proficiency, are particularly at risk. They are often

less likely to have an established support network in Australia, less likely to understand Australian laws and less likely to know how and where to seek assistance. To counter this, the Government will extend the family sponsorship framework to Partner visas, which will require an Australian citizen or permanent resident sponsor of a Partner visa to be assessed against character and sponsorship obligations and approved before a visa application can be made. It will also require sponsors to agree to certain results of their character checks being shared with their partner prior to the visa application being lodged. This may

AL WASAT 114 ¿ Safar 1442 ¿ October 2020 ‫ هـ ¿ تشرين األول‬1442 ‫ ¿ صفر‬114 ‫الوسط‬

include information indicating a potential threat, such as charges and convictions of a violent nature. This ensures their partner can make an informed decision about whether or not to proceed with the visa application, especially in circumstances where children are involved. It also means applicants can feel empowered to walk away from a potentially violent relationship based on the information shared, before they lodge and pay for the visa application. The changes build on existing provisions in Australia’s migration laws to allow provisional Partner visa or Prospective Marriage visa holders

who experience family violence to continue with their permanent visa application even if their relationship breaks down. New requirements, announced last week, for Partner visa applicants and their permanent resident sponsors to make reasonable efforts to learn English will also support migrant women and families. Changes to the Partner visa framework and English language requirement will come into effect in late 2021 and will apply to new applications only. Further details will be developed over the coming months, with final details announced next year.

ABOUT ELECTIONS How often are State elections held?

Council elections are held every four years, on the fourth Saturday in October. • There are 79 councils in Victoria – 31 in Melbourne and 48 in rural and regional areas. • Each council must have between five and 12 councillors, who are elected by the community to represent them. • In 2020, 76 councils will be going to an election in October. • The South Gippsland Shire Council election has been postponed until October 2021, and the Casey City Council and Whittlesea City Council elections have been postponed until October 2024. • The Minister for Local Government, in consultation with the VEC, determines whether elections are conducted by either postal voting or attendance (in person) voting. All local government elections in 2020 will be postal voting. The 2020 Local Government Elections Service Plan sets out the VEC’s plan to deliver these elections.

Who votes in council elections? Two groups of people are eligible to vote in council elections: • State-enrolled voters in that council area (known as the Electoral Commissioner’s List). This group is automatically enrolled to vote in council elections. • those who are not State enrolled voters in that council area but pay rates to that council (known as the CEO’s List). This group must apply to council to be included on the roll. It includes: • non-resident property owners, such as those with holiday houses and investment properties • directors or company secretaries of corporations that pay rates in that council area but don’t live in the area • shop tenants who are named on the council’s records to receive the rates notice, or have the written consent of the owner to vote in their place • non-Australian citizens who live and pay rates in that council area. These two lists are combined to make the voters’ roll. The Melbourne City Council voters’ roll has additional categories for corporate representatives. See the Melbourne City Council website for more information: https://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/about-council/ governance-transparency/elections/Pages/elections. aspx AL WASAT 114 ¿ Safar 1442 ¿ October 2020 ‫ هـ ¿ تشرين األول‬1442 ‫ ¿ صفر‬114 ‫الوسط‬

Is it compulsory to vote?

Voting is compulsory for those on the Electoral Commissioner’s List. It is not compulsory for those on the CEO’s List – except in Melbourne City Council elections where everyone on the voters’ roll is required to vote. People who do not provide a sufficient excuse for not voting in a council election may be fined. The penalty is half a penalty unit, which is set at $82.61 for the 2020 local government elections.

Voting in the upcoming Local Government elections is easy and essential Mohamed Jemai - Melbourne Despite the COVID19 lockdown Victorians are heading for the ballot box in local government elections, which close on October 23. Like most things during the COVID19 pandemic, the Victorian local council elections will be conducted remotely by post. By now most Victorians would have received their voting packs in the mail. Most people, by now, would have seen all the candidates’ placards and posters adorning walls, shop windows and front yards. Kitchen tables will be strewn with local candidate’s information. There are 76 out of 79 state city councils running elections this term. Casey, Whittlesea and South Gippsland Shire Councils are under administration. • Here are some things we need to consider before we send our vote back to the Victorian Election Commission (VEC). Council services are paid for, though taxes, rates and levies by you, the resident. So, your taxes are the most important reason to vote in the council election. • In principle, by partaking in elections, through our vote we delegate responsibility to those candidates who, if they win, will hopefully allocate our taxes to the services that we use. So, It is important to consider who you will vote for carefully. • Our deen, AL-ISLAM has made the noble duty of taking care of our environment and serroundingns a sign of IMAN:

‫ ال اله اال‬:‫ أفضلها قول‬،‫بضع وسبعون شعبة‬،‫اإلميان‬ ‫ رواه مسلم‬.‫الله وادناها اماطة االذى عن الطريق‬

Prophet Muhammad (SAW) Said “Iman is over seventy categories. The best of which is the saying of La ELAHA ELA ALLAH, and the least

of which is to remove harm from people’s pathways. We have an opportunity to practice this great humanitarian principle and take care of our families, neighbourhood and environment. Local government supplies direct services we need like in health, early childhood education, kindergartens and childcare, parks, mothers and babies support, vaccinations, aged care, funding for cultural events and a lot more. So, through voting the right candidate in, we get to positively affect our surroundings. • Candidates who win impact on our life and our families directly. The Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) write, “It is important to vote to ensure your voice is heard by those who make decisions about things that affect the way you live” (https://www.vec.vic.gov.au/ voting/2020-local-council-election) • It is important to read about the candidates and consider carefully who to vote for. There is more information online on each candidate for those that need to know more.

AL WASAT 114 ¿ Safar 1442 ¿ October 2020 ‫ هـ ¿ تشرين األول‬1442 ‫ ¿ صفر‬114 ‫الوسط‬

• In the voting pack there are candidates’ statements, a ballot paper, an envelope for the ballot and a pre-paid return envelope. It

is important to read and understand the voting instructions. VEC also provides a multilingual flyer. • When voting it is important that all candidates are numbered in order of the voter’s preference. The most preferred candidate will begin with ‘1’ in the box next to their name, then other candidates with 2 then 3 then 4, and so on, until all candidates on the ballot paper have a number next to their names. Ensure not to repeat the same number. • When finished, place the ballot paper in the ballot paper envelope and seal it. Then sign and date the flap in the designated section. Finally, place the ballot paper envelope in the pre-paid envelope and throw it in an Australia Post mailbox, before the close of voting deadline of 6pm, October 23. • In the end, we are rewarded for all of our actions in accordance with our intentions. The future is for those who do not forfeit their rights.

• I’m Khaled Ajaj, a dad, husband and business analyst for Services Australia. I’ve lived in Hoppers Crossing and Tarneit for 18 years with my wife Halima, a local teacher. • After moving to Hoppers Crossing in the early 00s I dedicated myself to helping to create a harmonious neighbourhood - for all of our kids. Since then, I’ve taken on leadership roles in over a dozen community groups and helped to build this community. • I’m a local you can trust to listen to you, bring diverse groups of people together, work hard and make decisions in all of our best interest. • I’m running for council because I’ve watched our community be let down by poor planning decisions for nearly two decades. There is no plan to deliver the amenities and services to match the growth - a vote for me is a vote to put an end to that. • I believe we need a new generation of leadership in Wyndham. • We need a council that will both deliver on the basics and help our community achieve its potential. • I want to see council make decisions in the interest of residents rather than those of big developers. • We deserve a council that makes planning decisions in the interests of locals so that we can do simple things like access the services we need and find a park when we want one. • If you live in Tarneit, Werribee or Hoppers Crossing I’m asking for your support because all of our kids deserve to live in communities they can be proud of.

The roles of Muslims in the council elections Nawaz Khan, Year 11

Islamic College of Melbourne (ICOM) The year 2020 has hit us with great adversities. The Covid-19 pandemic has caused pain and suffering to many people, and in times like these Muslims rely on our faith as a guiding light to get us through hard times. Faith unites the community no matter the persons’ background, skin colour, gender or age. The value of faith may be overlooked in these difficult times, however, it is our duty to spread the significance of faith, when one may have lost it. One way we can do this is through the council election coming up on 24 October. We must pay attention to these local elections and vote for who we believe will represent us and our values best. The Muslim community, for a significant amount of time, has lacked the proper representation needed to promote our values and give us the voice that is so needed. The importance of having a voice in public office does not only stretch to the local level but also state and federal. Our goal is to be part of this nation. Adequate representation in government would give us the needed voice for us to do so.

All big things start with small steps. This is the importance of our council elections. Our local council would set the direction of the municipality through plans and policies. The policies and plans set in place by our council impact us, our families, friends and our communities as a whole. We Muslims must elect officials that not only give us a voice but also enact policies that help us and our communities; whether it be funding for a new mosque or

support for community organisers. The importance of having a say in the policies that affect us is unparalleled. A study into Muslim community organisations from 2017 show that even though we participate in our own community activities like religious services such as teaching and counselling for individuals, political advocacy and lobbying is far less prevalent. This shows a reluctance from the Muslim

community to run for public office. This reluctance is the hurdle that stops us from achieving the goal of representation. Our community needs to encourage our people to become more active in the political space, especially the younger generations. They are full of optimism, energy and drive. They have the creative spark and perhaps what they need more than ever is that little push.

Though Victoria’s council candidates do not have the benefit of going door to door, the elections will regardless be hard fought Eshal Ahmed, Year 10

Islamic College of Melbourne (ICOM) A little more than 2,150 Victorians have nominated for local council elections this very month. The Victorian council elections are held every four years and offer individuals a chance to make a positive impact in communities by representing the local council board. A councillor’s essential job is to represent their area and the individuals who live in it. Councillors have a responsibility to offer a diverse range of services that address the concerns of their community such as child care, disability services, building permits, leisure centres, roads, religious buildings, and etc. We need Muslims to step up and nominate each other for these local elections to increase our representation in positions of power and make sure our voices are being heard. It is our responsibility as Muslims to become more active in community issues by electing representatives that we think will make more positive change. There are different factors that we ought to be contemplate when casting our ballot. The two fundamental questions are: 1. How does the candidate operate model of social care change so that people experience better life

outcomes? 2. Does the representative support the Human Rights Acts? If not, which rights does he/she propose we no longer need? On Melbourne’s north western fringe, I interviewed one of the local Muslim candidates, and was able to get a better insight into what it’s like to undergo being an elected candidate of the people. The candidates are required to sit an online course to develop an understanding of how to comply with the directions of the Victorian Chief Health Officer and stay safe while campaigning during covid. This includes advice on permitted campaign activities, safety for campaign teams, basic

AL WASAT 114 ¿ Safar 1442 ¿ October 2020 ‫ هـ ¿ تشرين األول‬1442 ‫ ¿ صفر‬114 ‫الوسط‬

hygiene and physical distancing. There are a few factors that have guided Muslim participation in the electoral process. Those who lived in Australia for a long time or came from a country with a strong democratic culture are more likely to participate in these elections than newcomers or those who escaped an oppressive state. Women with a background that emphasized the traditional gender role similarly found it more difficult to participate than Australian-born converts and women whose cultural traditions encouraged women to participate. Growing up in an environment where politics is regularly discussed I have very strong opinions when it

comes to the politics in Australia. Muslims should especially take part in these local elections as they give the minority Muslim community to channel through which their concerns and ideas can be raised in the forums best placed to bring about change. It also provides formal and semi-formal means of building bridges with other groups who share similar concerns and ideas. It aids the wider community to become aware of, grow and understand, the Muslims community’s concerns and ideas. I believe that the council elections is a stepping stone for Australian Muslims to participate in Australian politics at the state and the federal levels.

The visions that I hope to become reality are 1. To ensure security and safety on our streets by installing more security cameras. 2. create island parking for narrow streets so that it is easier for both parties (residents and drivers) to get through the street. 3. to create more designated customer parking spots for small shopping centers and businesses so that there is less congestion on main roads. 4. prioritise bike tracks on our local roads to increase the safety of both bike riders and drivers. 5. to fund more clubs, like sports clubs, so that they all have up to date facilities and resources ( e.g. sports equipment and changing rooms). 6. prioritise, and support more elderly services to relieve families of stress.

7. to provide public toilets and barbecue facilities in our small local parks. 8. I want to enforce a work plan for those who have lost their job and for those who find it difficult to find one. 9. I want to apply to the state government to allow for a built on a slight wall on the freeway path in glenroy. 8. Last but not least, aim to fight for the lowest rate on waste services to help residents with their financial situations. These are only a few ideas of the many I have for Moreland, however this is the direction I am aiming for! If you like my ideas for the future Moreland, than support me by voting me as 1 on your list.
