LAW COUNCIL CONFIRMS SIMPLE AND SAFE’ VOICE

A panel of cons tu onal law experts brought together by the Law Council of Australia has unanimously found the proposed Indigenous Voice to Parliament is “simple, straigh orward, safe, and modest”.

“The wording of the proposed constitutional amendment makes very clear, the Voice will only be able to make representations to Parliament and the Executive, just as bodies such as the Law Council do on a regular basis. It will not have capacity to demand changes or to veto Government decisions.

The Law Council’s view is that the constitutional amendment as proposed is constitutionally orthodox, just, and legally sound. As the Hon Kenneth Hayne put it:

By recognising our First Peoples in our Constitution in this way, we lose nothing, but we gain so much for the whole nation.”

“Its strength is its simplicity,” the panel found.

“It reflects how Cons tu onal amendment should occur and has in the past, in that it asks the public to vote on a principle and leaves it to Parliament to implement the detail.

“The legal profession is uniquely qualified to assist the Australian community to understand this issue,” Law Council of Australia president Luke Murphy said. “We have a responsibility, as a profession, to help people fully understand what is being proposed.

“Our panel consisted of Professor Megan Davis, the Hon Kenneth Hayne AC KC, Professor Cheryl Saunders AO and Mr Greg McIntyre SC. These speakers are some of the most esteemed legal minds in this country, par cularly in Cons tu onal law.

“What we as a na on are being asked to decide is whether we agree that our Cons tu on should recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the First Peoples of Australia and give them a say in ma ers that impact them.

“The Law Council strongly encourages all Australians to read and consider the wording of the proposal closely and seek out informa on from a trusted source, such as the factsheets prepared by the Law Council.”

Mr Murphy said a ques on that was frequently asked concerned how much power the Voice would have.

“As the wording of the proposed cons tu onal amendment makes very clear, the Voice will only be able to make representa ons to Parliament and the Execu ve, just as bodies such as the Law Council do on a regular basis.

“It will not have capacity to demand changes or to veto Government decisions.” As a result, the panel said confidently that establishment of the Voice will not result in excessive li ga on which will impact the func oning of Government.

“As a na onal peak body, part of the Law Council’s work is to analyse and provide advice on ma ers before Parliament and the Australian Government, par cularly as these relate to proposed law reforms and the administra on of jus ce.

“We are well placed to observe a legal policy landscape in which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are dispropor onately and detrimentally impacted by the powers of the Parliament and Execu ve Government – a landscape in which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples commonly have the informa on and solu ons about what will work most effec vely for their communi es. However, they need a voice equal to their aspira ons, knowledge and lived experience.

“The Law Council has long considered a cons tu onally enshrined Voice as cri cal to addressing the social and poli cal disempowerment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It has called consistently for a referendum, to accept the powerful invita on issued in the Uluru Statement for all Australians to move together towards a be er future.”

Op Shop has received two dona ons of almost all the contents of two homes over this last week. We will need to expand our premises if that rate of contribu on to our current stock con nues. So if you are se ng up a home or supplying your B&B with some extras, we have the goods. Our supplies could take Spring cleaning to the next level.

Fresh curtains, especially the light white privacy curtains, a large array of cushions in a rainbow of colours, sizes and shapes are to be found in the second ves bule on the right of Op Shop. They are behind the baby and infant clothing. The cushions are so great in number they are even sneaking out under the racks of summer clothing. What a great range of warmer weather wear is on display!

The Op Shop volunteer staff have been working extra shi s to stock the racks.

Shoes, shoes and more shoes. Much of the Op Shop footwear is brand new, as the source could be the closing of a shoe shop.

Op Shop days are Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, all staffed by our marvellous volunteers, keeping overhead costs to a bare minimum.

BLOWN AWAY!!

While Dunolly has been lucky to be spared the insane weather of parts of Gippsland, fires one day and floods the next, the community garden had a minor weather-related event that caused a bit of drama.

Our ‘beaut’ share table got blown over in the strong winds. It has now been resurrected and securely pegged down, to prevent future mishaps. Care had to be taken that the water mains did not get punctured with the star post that is now part of the improved design.

Last week fresh eggs were on the table and fortunately, these had already found their way into someone’s kitchen. There were some free copies of Coliban Water’s publica on, Smart Gardens for a Dry Climate, that did not survive the fall.

It has been a busy week with the second cooking class and a vegie gardening workshop on Saturday. There will be one more cooking class on Thursday, the 12th of October.

The classes and workshops have all been funded by Healthy Loddon Campaspe and are FREE.

The community garden meets on a Thursday a ernoon at 3.30pm and all are welcome.

We will also be having a stall at the next market, so come along and say hello.

PUSH FOR MORE WORKING SENIORS

Na onal Seniors Australia and the Aged & Community Care Providers Associa on have welcomed the Federal Government’s Employment White Paper for its proposed ac on on workforce par cipa on and moves to be er support aged care workers.

“Na onal Seniors welcomes the permanent increase in the Work Bonus from $7,800 to $11,800. It shows the government is willing to listen, but it must go further,” Chief Advocate Ian Henschke said, “Demand for care and support workers is set to double by 2050. According to the Na onal Skills Commission, we will face a shor all of 211,000 workers (fullme equivalent) by 2050. How are we going to meet demand in the future if we don’t act now to change the policy se ngs?

“Older people are dealing with these desperate shortages now. By 2050, it will be their children. They deserve to know someone is going to be there for them, at a me when they need it the most.

“If the carers aren’t there, the care isn’t there. The consequences of this are far more costly than implemen ng our policy.”

Aged & Community Care Providers Associa on (ACCPA)

CEO Tom Symondson welcomed moves to be er support the aged care workforce, including

domes c solu ons and targeted migra on strategies.

“Australia’s aged care sector is crying out for more workers, so we support any policy moves to help alleviate the problem,” he said.

“It has been es mated that Australia will need at least 17,000 more direct aged care workers each year just to meet the standard of care our community expects. Over the next decade, the total figure will spiral to some 110,000 while the popula on ages, so we’re pleased something is being done.

“We welcome the White Paper’s acknowledgement that welltargeted migra on can complement local skills.”

Mr Symondson praised moves to help those on income support, including pensions, to work where they can. “We know that many older Australians have decades of

experience in caring and we want to remove disincen ves to keep them engaged in the workforce. Many older Australians are perfectly placed to work in the aged care sector. They have the compassion, life experience and empathy to care for our most vulnerable.

“It makes sense that older Australians who s ll want to work should be encouraged to do so. Age should not be a barrier to people con nuing to work and contribute to the care economy. “We welcome moves already in place to bolster the aged care workforce, including a 15% pay rise for aged care workers and the introduc on of skilled worker visas. Expanding on migra on strategies and tapping into Australia’s older genera on to help address the challenges we face makes sense.”

Holy Rosary is said each Tuesday at 5.00 pm in St. Mary’s Church , to pray for the sick in the parish . We would warmly welcome all who wish to a end and join in prayer.

In these very uncertain mes, to come together in prayer for peace in the world, and in our lives and in our hearts, would be a loving act of community, so we are looking to have a further monthly rosary, perhaps on Tuesday again, but at an earlier me to accommodate people who would prefer this. We would welcome thoughts.

ROSIE

Ireckon it's about me the Bendigo Bank made a new ad for the telly.

The present one has been on for years, and if nothing else, it must have a lot more customers than when it was made.

Was looking at one of the many ads by various take-away food places for their ‘ginormous’ hamburgers. Don't know about you, but if I tried to bite into one (a) I could not open my mouth that wide and (b) all that filling would go flying out the other end of the bun and that would be very messy. They must use super glue to s ck the food in the bun for the ad.

Some of us older ladies were talking the other day about the stuff we were given as children because it was good for us.

I remember my mum pu ng a grey ointment sort of stuff on a piece of cloth, hea ng it in the oven and pu ng it on a coughing person's chest - it was called an phlogis ne, probably not the right way to spell it. Google says it is obsolete.

Just for a Laugh

(I am picking on fishers and golfers)

A small boy says to his father "Hey Dad, that's a really good fish you caught. Can I use it for bait?"

On a sunny morning, two fathers and two sons went fishing. Each of them caught a fish, but they only took three fish home. Why? Because a grandfather, a father and a son went fishing.

Many a golfer preferred a golf cart to a caddy because it cannot count, cri cise or laugh.
