Battin
[edit]During the 2010s, Battin contacted Allyson Mower, and together with the Marriott Library, Oxford University Press, and a team of librarians, library staff, research assistants, and contractors they created an unprecedented publication format containing a massive compilation of discussion on historical sources of the ethics of suicide. As the project's size approached 1200 pages in 2010, the team developed the idea of publishing a redacted print version with the full version online. Consultations with the publisher and the library led to the publication of a printed text with embedded QR codes linking it to the web version, which itself would have catalog records, links to primary sources, and interactive features. This format combined "long-known benefits of hybrid print/electronic publishing and points to possible future directions in the relationship between publishers and libraries."
First use
[edit]Kerry Robertson was the first person to be granted a permit under the Voluntary Assisted Dying Act. Robertson was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010 and was declared cancer free after surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Four years later she developed a tumour in her in bones, that spread to her lungs and brain. When the cancer spread to her liver Robertson ceased treatment. Her palliative care team was unable to ease the pain. Robertson applied for the permit on the first day the act came into force, 19 June 2019, citing "loss of joy" as her reason. Robertson ended her life on July 15th 2019 at the age of 61 with her two daughters, and best friend by her side.[1]
Uluru statement
[edit]In his 2019 induction speech to the Logies Hall of Fame, Journalist Kerry O'Brien voiced his support for the Uluru statement from the heart by calling on the Australian Parliament, during the current term, to "make a genuine effort to understand and support what is embodied in the Uluru Statement From the Heart". He added "the Uluru statement represents no threat to a single individual in any corner of this country, and certainly no threat to the integrity of Parliament. And if you're told that, don't you believe it. On the contrary, it will add much to the integrity of our nation."[2]
Referendum council
[edit]The 16-member Referendum Council was jointly appointed by the Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, and Leader of the Opposition, Bill Shorten, on 7 December 2015. The council was to advise the government on steps towards a referendum to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the Australian Constitution.[3][4] The council was made up of indigenous and non-indigenous community leaders and co-chaired by Patrick Dodson,[5] and Mark Leibler AC.[6] Patrick Dodson resigned from the council on the 2nd of March 2016 after being endorsed by the Australian Labor Party for a vacant Western Australian Senate seat.[5] Dodson was replaced by serving council member Pat Anderson AO.[7]
Over a 6 month period the council travelled to 12 different locations around Australia and met with over 1200 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander representatives. The meetings resulted in the first consensus of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people on constitutional recognition, the Uluru Statement from the Heart.[4]
Council member Megan Davis gave the first public reading of the statement at the conclusion of the 2017 First Nations National Constitutional Convention at Uluru.[4] The convention was adopted by the 250 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander delegates.[8][9]
Artwork meaning
[edit]In keeping with the tradition of the Yirrkala bark petitions and the Barunga statement, the Uluru Statement was made in the form of a work of art. The statement is placed in the centre which is where the power resides. Surrounding the statement are signatures of over 250 delegates who attended the conference and reached consensus. 100 first nations are represented in the statement by signatories who included the name of their nation.[4]
The artwork tells the story of two Tjukurpa creation stories of the traditional owners of Uluru, the Aṉangu people. One tells how the Uluru landscape was shaped by a fight to the death at the Mutitjulu Rockhole between Kuniya, the woma python with eggs from the north east, at the top left, and Liru, the poisonous snake from the south west, at the bottom left. The other tells the story of the Mala people, represented by the Rufous hare-wallaby who, while holding a ceremony at the top of Uluru, became involved in a dispute with men who came from the west. The men left and created Kurpany, the devil dingo, represented by the dog prints.[4]

Martha Needle

They were poor and lived in a small 2 room house in North Adelaide. Needle claimed that she was often beaten with a stick or rope by her step mother[4] and, at the age of 13, she was indecently assaulted by her step father, Daniel Foran[5][a] Needle left home started work as a house keeper at the age of 13[b], and married Henry Needle in 1882 at the age of 18. The marriage was happy and the couple had 3 children, Mabel, Elsie and May, before the family moved to the Melbourne suburb of Richmond in 1885.

Brian Murphy
[edit]Murphy graduated from the Police Academy in August 1954[1]
1979 Inquest into court shooting cleared police of any wrong doing. Press criticised for coverage. [2]
Michael Klaper
[edit]In a 1984 Florida Today article, Klaper asserted that there is "no nutritional basis for the 4 food groups," and that a vegan diet is superior to any diet that includes the consumption of animals or animal products. This view was criticized by registered dietician and clinical instructor at the University of Florida Ellen Rovinsky. Rovinsky described his diet as "ridiculous" and "some vitamins like B12 cannot be obtained from a purely vegetarian diet". Klaper's assertion also contradicted the 1981 Handbook of the American Dietetic Association which warned that a strict vegan diet "increases the probability of nutritional deficiency."[3]
