2. Empire Apartments Owners Corporation Executive Concern regarding reduced amenity should development be built to provisions of draft DCP. What measures will NCA take to ensure the development guidelines are enforced? What power does the NCA have to make a developer change finishes? Specific concerns: Concern regarding possible building heights, why is a 50% increase in height deemed appropriate with this current DCP, and not with previous such as Empire Apartments and Bentley? The height restriction should include rooftop plant. Absence of equity of privacy provisions for Empire Apartments as there are for other homes to the west. Vehicular access adjacent to that of Empire Apartments for added congestion on Canberra Avenue should be moved to Dominion Circuit. The new development should be monitored by NCA to ensure compliance with the DCP. Why has the area been rezoned as the RZ2 is restricted to 3 storeys? The Territory Government Assesses development against approved DCPs for sites along Canberra Avenue outside Designated Areas. The Territory has responsibility for the assessment and ensuring that development guidelines are enforced. See 3.1 & 3.2 See 3.3 See 3.6 The Territory Government has responsibility for approval and oversight for development on the subject site, in line with an approved DCP. The site has not been rezoned. Canberra Avenue is identified as a Main Avenue in the Plan. Special Requirements for Main Avenues apply to the site which state that development must conform to a DCP which seeks to secure the integrity of the Main Avenues as approaches to the Parliamentary Zone.
8. Des Page The proposed access/egress from Canberra Avenue must not be permitted on the major arterial road. Dominion Circuit provides a perfect site access to the proposed development. Compatibility of the proposed form with surrounding buildings. See 3.6 See 3.1 and 3.9 9. South Canberra Community Council (ISCCC) Canberra Avenue, as one of the city’s main avenue in the Plan is ideally situated to be the focus of high quality urban intensification. Some existing designs along Canberra Avenue are poor, have ongoing issues and do not ‘enhance the character of Canberra Avenue’. The ISCCC raised concerns regarding: The driveway on Canberra Avenue The driveway as indicated will require vehicles entering and exiting via Canberra Avenue only. Dominion Circuit should be leveraged. The ISCCC recommends that careful consideration should be given to the use of both streets. Setback and articulation of courtyard walls A recent change to the TP in variation 306 regarding requirements for setbacks of courtyard walls effects the site. The Plan recognises that the urban and human scale of buildings and landscape elements play a part in establishing the character of this major approach to Parliament House. Generous courtyard wall setbacks are already in evidence in Noted. Noted. See 3.6 See 3.8

The TOYAC partners will meet for the first time at this seminar in Dublin and are keen to hear about the issues facing young carers and young adult in Ireland to-day. For further details of the project and the partners involved see Care Alliance Ireland, has undertaken some preliminary investigation around the impact caring has on young adult carers’ participation in third level education. Other project partners have taken on detailed investigation in their own countries on other specific aspects of young adult caring. These focus specifically in the area of siblings with disabilities, interventions by condition-specific NGOs, the role of youth services, the possibilities of social networking for supports, and young carers in employment. A summary of the findings will be presented at the seminar. Our European colleagues are also keen to meet with those in Ireland who are currently working with young carers and or have an interest in the area.

FIGURE 12: PRIVATE SECTOR SERVICE BILLING PATTERNS BY JURISDICTION (1 JANUARY 2014–30 JUNE 2015) Source: Health analysis of claiming data The noted the high bulk billing rate under the CDBS. STEP-DOWN FEES The CDBS provides for the payment of reduced (step-down) benefits for certain services where more than one service is provided on the same day. The CDBS structure is modelled on the step-down fee structure used for the Chronic Disease Dental Scheme, where a different item number is used to pay a lower benefit for subsequent similar services on the same day. Table 7 shows the CDBS item and step-down items for extraction services. The CDBS also has a step-down fee for fissure sealants, with the first four services attracting a benefit of $46.05, and subsequent services a benefit of $23.05 (50 per cent reduction).

The Fee Schedule of Dental Services for Dentists and Dental Specialists outlines all the dental items covered under the Veterans’ Affairs dental scheme. As with the CDBS, Veterans’ Affairs has a step-down fee for the five extraction items (Table 8). Unlike the CDBS, however, Veterans’ Affairs will pay the higher fee for the first extracted tooth from each quadrant of the mouth, and pay a step-down fee for the second and subsequent extractions from the same quadrant on the same day.

Some Contracting Parties suggest that designation is not an end in itself but that the designation should be part of a strategy for the sustainable development or rejuvenation of a region, starting with the buffer zone. Contracting Parties continue to carry out, individually or in cooperation with others, site inventories, site management, monitoring of significant parameters, development of research lines, restoration of degraded wetlands. These activities should continue. Ramsar Administrative Authorities staff tend to be overloaded, and in the field Ramsar sites are often understaffed or have no staff for wardening at all. International Cooperation The Triangle Initiative is noted. Possible shared river basin initiatives have been noted (Mekong River, Tigris-Euphrates River Basin). Implementing the Convention in the future Some Contracting Parties report a lack of awareness amongst the public as well as decision makers of the value of wetlands. The consequence is that wetland conservation needs are not fully integrated into development plans and strategies across government departments. A low commitment to wetland conservation by local stakeholders can lead to conflicts with site management teams. It is also noted that the lack of awareness of wetland values can lead to inappropriate developments in the vicinity of Ramsar sites and wetlands, such as dams in the upstream catchments of important wetlands or other measures that impact on wetlands. It is further noted that in some cases wetlands are not recognised in existing legislation, and that existing water and land resources regulations are incompatible with wetland conservation and wise use. Coordination of all the actors, including government departments, private sectors, NGOs and communities, concerned by wetland management is a continuing challenge for Ramsar Administrative Authorities. Language (Arabic and Russian) Wise Use Contracting Parties continue to see the need to conduct surveys and inventories of their important wetland sites, and where these inventories exist, to update them when necessary. Contracting Parties see importance of drafting national strategies for wetlands that are harmonised with other relevant national strategies, such as those for water, biodiversity, and the environment in general. Some Contracting Parties cite the improvement of coordination and communication between institutions and stakeholders at all levels, in order to avoid duplication of efforts and waste of resources. CEPA Contracting Parties recognise the need to awareness of the importance of wetlands and the Ramsar Convention from the level of the highest decision-makers to the private sector so as to mainstream wetland conservation into economic and social development practices. Some Contracting Parties suggested improvement of networking and communication through CEPA.

uploading video content (20 per cent to 26 per cent). While it is difficult to know the degree to which social media is impacting consumer use of other communications services, initial research indicates that social networking, along with other online communications channels such as instant messaging and VoIP, has replaced at least part of the space previously occupied by traditional online communications channels such as email. During June 2011, approximately 1.73 million Australians aged 18 and over used services such as VoIP, instant messaging or social networking to communicate online instead of email—a 35 per cent increase compared to June 2010 figures. Social networking sites Approximately 60 per cent of adult internet users in Australia were estimated to have accessed a social networking site in the six months to April 2011. Internet users aged 18–24 years recorded the highest level of social networking usage during this period (Figure 14). Figure 14 Use of social networking in six months to April 2011, by age Note: Relates to consumers in households with a fixed-line telephone service. Source: ACMA-commissioned consumer survey, April 2011. In terms of Australian web traffic to specific social networking sites, Facebook dominates, with 7.6 million people accessing the site from home during June 2011 (Table 3)—comprising 88 per cent of the total number of people accessing social networking sites during June 2011. YouTube, Wikipedia and blogging sites Blogger, WordPress and Twitter are the next most popular, each accessed by millions of Australians.

In this article it challenges the thoughts of humans and how we It says that we all know that race does not exist in a biological sense yet we still categorize each other and only associate with someone else who looks the most like us. This is what our project shows in terms of who we tend to hang around and live with. (Luke)Nasser, Haya El. "‘Separate and Unequal’: Racial Segregation Flourishes in US Suburbs." ‘Separate and Unequal’: Racial Segregation Flourishes in US Suburbs. N.p., 3 Dec. 2013. Web. 12 Oct. 2015. In this article Nasser talks about how different ethnical groups are segregated even though they don’t fit into their financial class. In Nasser’s research he found that families that are Hispanics and African-Americans that make around $70,000 a year live in a higher poverty rate neighborhood than an a white family that make around $40,000 a year. This would be beneficial to us because it shows that different ethnical groups do not like mixing with each other even though they may be in a different financial class then each other. (Mary)Perez, Anthony Daniel, and Charles Hirschman. "The Changing Racial and Ethnic Composition of the US Population: Emerging American Identities." Population and Development Review (2009): 1-51. Wiley Online Library. Web. 8 Oct. 2015. In this Journal, and Hirschman look into the idea of the emergence of American identities. More so into the concept that “if” race and ethnicity is purely a cultural phenomena, then the results should show racial and ethnic entropy, meaning that there would be an eventual disappearance of race and ethnicity as distinct groups with clear boundaries. The authors takes into account of more of the ancestral/ origins in which certain ethnic groups divide themselves in certain areas in a certain city. This then affects the way other generations of similar racial backgrounds might assimilate. Specifically those who identify themselves within a certain category of “race”. However, as generations have passed, the idea that there is more interracial relations and identities has caused a more varied communities.

persons who lobby only on behalf of their employing entity or its affiliates. However, lobbying regulation generally provides exemptions for some or all of the following of persons otherwise caught by the descriptions: persons employed by an industry, trade, professional or similar organisation who lobby on behalf of some or all of the members of that organisation; persons registered or licensed by the Government to represent clients in interactions with Government in the ordinary course of the provision of their registered or licensed activity, such as registered tax agents, customs brokers, company auditors and liquidators and insolvency practitioners; persons who are members of other recognised advisory professions, such as accountants, doctors and lawyers, who may lobby as an incidental part of the professional services they provide to their clients; charitable, religious or organisations that enjoy tax exempt or similar status; persons who lobby on behalf of family or friends; members of foreign trade delegations. Further, some regulatory regimes preclude the registration of certain categories of persons who might otherwise fall within the regime’s definition of a lobbyist, such as: office holders of political parties; and often only for a period, former public officials. Lobbing Activity Lobbying regulation generally means any form of communication with a defined lobbying target with the intention to influence the performance by that target of their public role, which role may include some or all of the following: the making or amendment of legislation; the development or amendment of Government policy; the awarding of a Government contract; the grant or allocation of Government funding; the exercise of a statutory power; general administration of the business of government or participating as a member of a public entity in activities associated with roles.

provided that at 2.30 pm on each day the Speaker shall interrupt the business before the Assembly in order that questions without notice shall be called on, and (a) if a vote is in progress at the time fixed for interruption, that vote, and any vote consequent upon that vote, shall be completed and the result announced; and (b) the Speaker shall fix a later hour for the resumption of the debate on any business under discussion and not disposed of at the time of interruption. provided further that, in relation to ministerial statements, copies shall be provided to the Speaker for circulation to all Members two hours prior to the time at which the statement is proposed to be made; and that Ministers shall table a copy of the statement and move that the paper be noted.”. OPTION 3 Leave ministerial statements at the usual time in the ordinary routine of business No issues other than prolonging an afternoon session if there had been insufficient business to complete a full morning session. In the majority of sitting Tuesdays and Thursdays in 2015 the lunch suspension would have occurred well before 12:30 pm if the ministerial statements had been, in accordance with standing orders, given at the regular time after the presentation of papers and the adjournment much later.
The Committee discussed the options proposed and agreed that Option 2 – Allocate a specific time for ministerial statements in the morning and the afternoon – be adopted. This give allow non-executive Members sufficient time prior to the commencement of the sitting day to consider the statement and formulate a response. It would also provide certainty for the general public as to when a statement in which they are interested would be made. It is envisaged that a Minister will not require leave to make a statement (provided it has been circulated 2 hours before) and that, at the conclusion of making the statement, the Minister will table the statement and move that the Assembly take note of the paper. This will allow other Members to debate the content of the statement in accordance with standing order 69(i). Recommendation 2 The Committee recommends that Option 2 – Allocate a specific time for ministerial statements in the morning and the afternoon (as currently exists) – be adopted. Recommendation 3 The Committee recommends that the following amendments be made to standing orders: Omit and substitute “74. The Assembly shall proceed each day with its ordinary business in the following routine: Prayer or reflection Presentation of petitions Ministerial statements Notices and orders of the day Questions without notice Presentation of papers Ministerial statements Matter of public importance Notices and orders of the day: provided that at 2.30 pm on each day the Speaker shall interrupt the business before the Assembly in order that questions without notice shall be called on (a) if a vote is in progress at the time fixed for interruption, that vote, and any vote consequent upon that vote, shall be completed and the result announced; and
consideration. Dr David Denham also supported the proposed objective as a sound basis for developing a tariff structure, but argues that social welfare cannot be maximised ‘because the fixed charge component is far too high and does not appropriately reward customers for conserving water.’ Commission’s consideration On 1 July 2016 the ICRC Act was amended to incorporate an overarching objective specific to the making of a direction. Part 4 of the ICRC Act now includes a section 19L that states: The objective of the commission, when making a price direction in a regulated industry, is to promote the efficient investment in, and efficient operation and use of regulated services for the long term interests of consumers in relation to the price, quality, safety, reliability and security of the service. In order to apply this new objective in practice, the Commission’s preference is to adopt a social welfare approach, using the concept of Pareto optimality. An economic outcome is Pareto-efficient if it is impossible to make some individuals better off without making some other individuals worse off. When examining a single market using the tools of partial equilibrium analysis, embodied in the familiar supply and demand curves, the concept of Marshallian aggregate surplus provides a ready means of judging whether a change in market outcomes increases or decreases social welfare. As to the interpretation of the phrase ‘long term’, the Commission’s preference is to adopt an approach that recognises that a particular measure or decision might reduce welfare in the immediate future but confer benefits at some later point. In recognising this possibility, the Commission would, however, expect that the benefits of the measure should outweigh its costs, where more distant costs and benefits may be given less weight in the assessment than those accruing earlier. Draft position For the purposes of the draft assessment framework, the legislated economic efficiency objective set out in section 19L of the ICRC Act replaces the objective proposed in the issues paper (see Box 2.2). Box 2.2 Draft overarching efficiency objective To promote the efficient investment in, and efficient operation and use of regulated services for the long term interests of consumers in relation to the quality, safety, reliability and security of the service. Pricing principles In addition to the overarching efficiency objective discussed above, when varying or making a price direction the Commission is also required to have regard to the provisions set out in section 20(2) of the ICRC Act (see Appendix 2).

The contract also helps inform the design of the inquiry. A few before the event, a draft contract was sent to all participants for review. In developing the contract, we invited participants to take a moment to think of all the ways they, or someone else, could make the two days together a bad experience. The process of contracting is designed to

Being a leader Jay, 17, Caversham I am born in Perth. I have always lived in the Midland area within the Noongar community with my mum, brother and sister. If I didn’t have my mum, I don’t think I would be the same person. She has been my mother and father. She has always provided for us even though it hasn’t been that easy for her. She has given up her whole life for us kids. I’ve had a number of male role models in my life, like my uncles and pops from my extended family who teach things like to be strong, have respect, and not to let anyone put it over you. But my mum has taught me all that too, she’s taught me everything I need. School is important; it prepares you to take on responsibility when you get older. It prepares you for the outside world because things aren’t always going to go your way. It’s good to find people who believe in you at school. I think if they believe in you, then maybe we should start believing too. I actually love school but sometimes it stresses me out. Other things worry me too like what if the world keeps going the way it is and no one is prepared to make change and be nicer to each other.
Right now it feels like nothing is going to change and people are not coming to together like they should. Especially in Australia where there is still a huge separation between cultures and beliefs. It’s separation that makes us weak, not where we’re individually from or what we believe in. Together, we can be strong. I play the guitar, didgeridoo, ukulele and drums. I like a crazy variety of music, especially Jimmy Barnes, he’s my idol. Music gives me inspiration to try new things and have a go. Sometimes it even shows me how little I actually know about life. It’s also good for de-stressing when times get tough. My best advice to kids who are going through a lot would be to try and put things in perspective. There through and dealing with worse things so try not to stress about it. You are always other people going You should always push yourself and try your hardest though. You can only do your best and if you know it is your best, then that’s fine. Kids also need to know when to ask for help. If you go through life refusing support then you’re not going to get very far. It’s like tutoring, it makes you better and improves you. That’s why I want a career where I can help people. I grew up in a life where drugs, alcohol and bad influences were all around me. I’m not saying my life was wrecked but it could have been easy for me to give up and just copy those people. I figured out that it was up to me. In fact, my greatest personal achievement is that I decided to be different. Reconnecting with my Noongar culture let me find out who I was again and made me proud. It was the change in my life that I needed.
