Maintain the existing ability to enter into voluntary management agreements with public authorities. Clarify and consider expanding the scope and purpose of these agreements. Supported in principle. There is currently no requirement for DELWP to enter into a management agreement. Due to this, we recommend a process be created by which a public authority can request the creation of a management agreement between DELWP and itself in order to simplify the discharge of its duty under the Act. These agreements should also be open to areas of public land under lease, licence or under management of a committee of management. Enable the preparation of biodiversity standards. Supported in principle. It’s unclear from the consultation paper what the status of the standards would be in terms of public authorities being required to comply with the information provided. The MAV supports improved provision of clear information and guidance to public authorities, however an authority’s capacity and capability to act in accordance with the standards will vary across the State and needs to be taken into consideration. Any standards developed would need to be adaptive and responsive to change in order to account for advances in our understanding as well as changing conditions. Investigate providing powers for the Minister to: Request that a government department or public authority provides information to her/him as to how a particular listed threatening process or high value asset to biodiversity is being managed. Issue a ministerial direction to take action to address a listed threatening process. Supported in principle. The capacity of public authorities to respond to a Ministerial direction should be considered when determining the content of the direction. Resource-constrained councils in particular may struggle to meet deadlines and provide or fund the on-ground expertise necessary. Clarity is sought on the triggers for a Minister to exercise these proposed powers. Consider strengthening the existing duty on public authorities, for example by requiring consistency with the objectives and principles of the Act. Supported. One of the chief criticisms of the current Act is that it has not been integrated into wider decision making. Expanding the extent to which biodiversity is considered across government has the potential to greatly increase the effectiveness of the Act. Given the scope of actions across government with the potential to affect biodiversity, compliance with the Act is a key step in achieving objectives.

Many of our clients do not understand Australian laws and processes, do not speak English, and would not have enforced their rights without our help. Community Legal Education Program To date the Project has delivered over 50 community legal education (CLE) presentations to community members, community workers and community leaders. CLEs have been delivered to more than 500 people, and evaluation surveys were completed by over 350 individuals. The Project has also engaged six part time community leaders from refugee and newly arrived communities to participate in a Train the Trainer Program. Supported by the Helen Macpherson Smith Trust and Victorian Women’s Trust, the Program offered comprehensive training in employment law and key services, assisting participants to develop and distribute CLE sessions to their communities in the West. These initiatives are discussed in more detail below. Newly arrived and refugee workers face high levels of exploitation What experience or evidence can you provide of insecure work in Victoria? What form of working arrangements give rise to this? Which industries and regions does it occur in? What experience or evidence can you provide of the use – or misuse – of working visas in Victoria? Which industries and regions are they used in? What kinds of jobs do working visa holders obtain? What experience or evidence can you provide of exploitation of vulnerable workers in Victoria? This could include working visa holders, young or older workers, workers from a non-English speaking background, women workers, workers with low levels of formal education, workers with a disability or other vulnerable workers. Employment is essential for successful settlement The Western suburbs of Melbourne are home to a diverse range of new and emerging communities. Arriving from a foreign country, many have experienced violence, torture or trauma and are now separated from family members and social connections. Many things are new – including language, public transport systems, schools and laws. Showing resilience and determination, community members seek to create a new life, and employment is consistently recognised as a vital step for successful settlement.7 7For example, a recent consultation in Melton with community members from Burma identified employment as the most important theme for successful settlement in Melton. Employment was also ranked as the most difficult goal to achieve: Natasha Wilton, Djerriwarrh Health Services, ‘Investigating resettlement barriers with the Burmese Community in Melton: A Needs Assessment’; see also Alistair Ager and Alison Strang, Understanding Integration: A Conceptual Framework, Journal of Refugee Studies (2008) 21(2) 170.
Submission on the key issues facing the Productivity Commission Inquiry. The March 2014 Work + Family Policy Roundtable seminar on the future of ECEC in Australia drew attention to the following points of relevance to the PC’s current Inquiry: The goal of early childhood education and care The provision of high quality children’s services is fundamental to good social and economic outcomes in Australia. While much has been made of the economic benefits of such services, such as improved female workforce participation and children’s educational outcomes, it is vital to remember that good societies are created by good care systems and economic benefits are a means not an end in this context. Children and their wellbeing and development should be the central concern of Australia’s early childhood education and care system. Further, the benefits of women’s labour market participation (and men’s) need to be considered in relation to their care responsibilities over the life course. Having a paid job should not be a compulsory activity when care responsibilities are substantial. To this end, we do not believe the goal of an early childhood system should be labour market participation. A system that balances the activity of work with the activity of care over the life-course is preferable. A service not a market ECEC is a social and community service that directly and indirectly contributes to the provisioning of social and economic needs. While some elements of ECEC have been commodified, ECEC cannot be understood in market terms any more than can the provision of health or education needs. Attempts to apply market principles to the allocation of ECEC resources will result in inefficiency due to the public goods characteristics of ECEC; pervasive asymmetries in information and bargaining power; and the limited number of providers in most geographical locations. The costs of inefficient resource allocation are borne not only by individual children, parents, families and communities but also by the public sector and the state - in the form of the cognitive, emotional and social costs for children affected by poor quality care and their use of services in the longer term, such as remedial education, community support, prisons and other related services.
the majority of all Australian workplaces. Initiatives to increase workplace productivity or leadership should give a high priority to work, care and family issues, given the role that positive policy and action can make to productivity, participation and well-being. Existing research suggests that first line supervision and organisational norms and practices shape access to key supports like flexibility and leave (Pocock et al. 2012). First-line supervision and workplace cultures that are less supportive of the reconciliation of work and family are associated with higher levels of negative work-life and work-family interference (Skinner and Pocock 2008). Poorly designed jobs and work overload can inhibit access to leave, including annual leave – with more than half of Australian workers not using their paid holiday leave in the year in which it accumulates – with negative consequences for reconciling work and family (Pocock et al. 2010). Many workers who are not content with their current work arrangements do not make use of their right to request flexibility at work because their jobs are insecure, they believe their supervisors will view such requests negatively, or there is no history of flexible work in their workplace (Pocock et al. 2012). Important workplace culture and leadership issues such as sexual harassment and discrimination against pregnant workers, working carers, older employees, and those affected by domestic violence are of increasing significance in a workforce that is increasingly female, responsible for the care of others, and aging. Australia is a wealthy country and well placed to become a global leader in the area of work, care and family policy. The importance of good data for policy design, development and evaluation must not be underestimated. Good research, thorough cost-benefit analysis, continuous evaluation, piloting and an ongoing program of policy development are critical to cost-effective change.
Unfortunately this story is not an isolated incident. It is the most vulnerable—women, overseas students, people with English as a second language, those that have no option but to work in insecure and exploitative employment—that are victims to unscrupulous employers. There needs to be significant negative consequences not only for employers and contractors that exploit employees, but also for the companies that work with contractors who profit from illegal and exploitative practice. The defence ‘we didn’t know’ is not acceptable. For any company considering contracting out work, due diligence must include ensuring that selected labour hire firms or contractors pay their staff at legal rates and follow established OH&S practices. Insecure work: vulnerability to family violence Women experiencing domestic violence are often disadvantaged and vulnerable in the labour market.10 “Women affected by domestic violence are also more likely to have a disrupted work history and more likely to occupy casual and part-time work than women with no experience of violence.” 11 Financial abuse in the context of family violence takes many forms but includes preventing a person from seeking or keeping employment. WIRE’s 2014 research into financial abuse, ‘Relationship problems and money: women talk about financial abuse’,12 highlighted the issue of employment. Many women were prevented from working whilst in the abusive relationship or had no control over how their income was spent. For many the experience of family violence and financial abuse created a significant barrier to obtaining and maintaining secure employment. 10 Domestic Violence in Australia an overview of the issues, 22 November 2011, Australian Parliamentary Library 11 Domestic Violence in Australia an overview of the issues, 22 November 2011, Australian Parliamentary Library 12 Relationship Problems and Money: Women talk about Financial abuse, Cameron Prue (2014)

In addition harms associated with ‘big box’ packaged liquor should be considered separately in the Act to reinforce that the retail catchment of such a premise will often extend to as far as 5km. A 2015 decision of the Commission acknowledged that there were current deficiencies in the Act to allow for the consideration of harms that occur beyond the specific site and into the home. It was acknowledged that packaged alcohol, its density in any given area and the floor space available had a related role with an increase in alcohol fueled violence occurring in the home. The Act would benefit from the creation of a ‘public interest test’ similar to that which occurs in Western Australia under the Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor. It would be important that a relevant community notification process took place where meaningful discussions occurred with the community for the proposed use and site. This would assist both the VCGLR and the licensee with a better understanding of issues so effective harm minimisation strategies and/or conditions could be developed. Recommendations: That the Liquor Control Reform Act be amended to include; Reversing the onus of proof in licence applications and require applicants to satisfy harm and public interest tests, Including clear and comprehensive definitions of harm, public interest and cumulative impact, Introducing broader, consistent grounds for objecting to licence applications, and Increasing the Commission’s discretion to refuse licences where licences will contribute to harm or are not in the public interest. How should harm be considered in the licence application process? In 2012, the Victorian Auditor-General’s Effectiveness of Justice Strategies in Preventing and Reducing Alcohol-Related Harm Report examined the effectiveness of the Department of Justice, Victoria Police and the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation (Commission) in preventing and reducing the impact of alcohol related harm on the community. This report and its findings are still relevant in understanding and considering harms in the licence application process. The Auditor- General’s Report concluded that the “level of reported alcohol-related harm has increased significantly over the past 10 years” and that “[a] fundamental change in approach to strategy development, licensing and enforcement is required before any noticeable impact on reducing harm is likely”. There is a clear need for fundamental reform of the Act to redress the current imbalance of the licensing objects, and to ensure the Act and liquor licensing regime is effective in preventing and reducing alcohol harms.

the ageing population, it would be inappropriate to continue to design parks and playgrounds as has traditionally been done in the past. Conclusion This submission has put forward some guiding principles and planning considerations for a newer type of play space – the seniors’ playground. COTA ACT trusts that planners will consider these when working with landscape architects and other city-makers to deliver seniors’ playgrounds. Of course, each play space will have unique site challenges and opportunities, sociocultural contexts, community profiles, resources and political support or challenges. Collectively though, they will make Canberra more green, sociable, accessible, inclusive and healthy. As new sociocultural and health trends emerge, the concept of seniors’ playgrounds develop, and what is important to seniors changes, further research must occur in order to ensure planners respond to the health and social well-being of seniors and their city of Canberra.

Q.13. Should there be a separate offence for venue operators who knowingly allow persons to enter or remain in the venue? There should be a separate offense for venue operators who knowingly allow excluded gamblers to use gambling products. This penalty should be similar to those applied to those who knowingly serve intoxicated or underage persons alcohol, and the breach penalty should accrue to both the staff member and the venue/operator. Q.14. Should a new requirement to undertake advanced responsible service of gaming training be introduced? In light of the recently VRGF-developed training program for venue staff to be implemented from January 2017, no new training should be introduced until this two-module program has been this evaluated. Q.15. If so, who should be required to complete the advanced training and what content should the training include? The venue floor manager should be required to undertake advanced training that identifies problem gambling and instructs that person in how to intervene to reduce their risk of harm. A penalty should be introduced to be levied on venue operators who allow their venue to operate at any time without a suitably trained manager. Q.16. Who should be responsible for the development and provision of the advanced training? The Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation should be responsible for the development and provision of this training. Q.17. Do you think regional caps and municipal limits should be maintained? Why? Q.18. Should regional caps be extended beyond the existing capped areas and if so, why? Q.19. Are the current regional cap and municipal limit levels appropriate?
promotions and ‘below cost’ meals, free transport, and vouchers. The practice of ‘minimum stays’ for visiting groups – in which visiting organisations are offered incentives in return for ensuring their members must stay on site for several hours – should also be prohibited. These marketing strategies are designed to circumvent the defences of deprived and vulnerable populations and Q 8. There should be a separate offence for failure to respond to demonstrations of problem gambling. As operators of a high-risk and potentially harmful product, gambling venue operators have a duty of care to ensure that their customers are not harmed by their product, as far as is practical. This offence should apply to all gambling venues in the state, including Crown Casino. The Government should consider how this might be applied to non-venue based gambling offered within Victoria. Penalties for offences considered by this consultation should be linked to venue losses. As a guide, one penalty unit should be equivalent to the average daily losses on EGMs in that venue. Establishment of an Ombudsman The Government should establish a Gambling and Liquor Ombudsman. This officer would be a venue for complaints about the operation of gambling venues and services. Q 9-11. Self-exclusion systems should be simple and easy to use, and allow a person to restrict themselves from as many venues as they require. This system should be covered by a single point of entry and administered by Gambler’s Help services. This point of entry should be functionally identical at any place in the state.

In the section headed “Regulation of notifiable data breach reporting” it could be useful to include references to the Sections of the Act that give the Information Commissioner the powers referred to. It could be useful to include a standard form for reporting notifiable Data Breaches on the OAIC’s website, in the Contact Section where other Online Forms are available? Conclusion As indicated at the outset, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner is to be commended on taking the initiative in preparing the Guide. In our view, it will provide useful guidance for agencies and organisations and play an important role in management of privacy and security concerns regarding the new e-Health system.

Formatting your paper All printed material, including text, illustrations, and charts, must be kept within the paper margins as presented in this example (Top – 2.5 cm; Bottom – 2.5 cm, Left – 3 cm, Right – 2.5 cm). All body text is set in one column as in the present template. The paper must comply with the structure agreed by the journal and is mandatory to contain: introduction, content (with chapters and subchapters designed/established by author(s)), conclusions and references. 3. Paper’s title The main title should begin from the top edge of the page, centered, and in Times New Roman 14-point, boldface type. Capitalize the first letter of all the words in your title, but do not capitalize articles, coordinate conjunctions, or prepositions (unless the title begins with such a word). Please initially capitalize only the first word in other titles, including section titles. Leave two blank lines after the title.
As a result we believe that the current draft guidelines from the NWG reveal a fundamentally flawed, unsound scientific approach in all areas. The draft guidelines do not, therefore, in our view form a suitable starting point for wider consultation. Planks A–C Summaries Plank A: Background Noise Measurement Measurement Location Free field or facade? Common sense says ‘facade’ as this is where residents will experience the noise but the guidelines say ‘free field’. What’s the difference? Background can be around 3dB lower at the facade due to screening and turbine noise can be 3dB higher due to reflection. This yields up to a 6dB difference within the assessment. Why measure background noise at 1.2 to 1.5m height and not at ground level where we could minimise wind induced noise as is the case for measuring turbine noise? Where is the science to justify this measuring height? Microphone Wind-Induced Noise There is data contamination at wind speeds above around 5m/s No commercially available wind screens currently being used are suitable for measuring in windy conditions. Magnitude of the data contamination is unknown. ETSU report W/13/00386/REP has been used and quoted out of context. The letter from Ed Davey MP is totally wrong on this. Directional Screening The guidance fails to recognise the importance for this or to provide for a robust directional screening process. It is particularly important for sites near motorways and major roads. Poor Statistical Science We see widespread misuse of statistical regression analysis and a failure by decision makers to question or even understand the analysis. This allows a misuse of science providing developers the opportunity to steal 2 or 3dB extra to noise limits. This is ‘Bad Science’ being employed to confuse decision makers.

including registered nurses, allied health workers and support staff to work at its facilities. Employees are employed in a mix of full time, part time and casual or temporary roles, with the exception of their Community and Personal Service employees are almost exclusively employed on a part time-permanent basis (please see table 2 below). Table 2: Aged Care Services Australia Group Pty Ltd Community and Personal Service workers employment status Work Hours Status Number of workers Full Time Permanent Workers 8 Part Time Permanent Workers 1,524 Casual Workers 473 In late November 2014, the Health Workers Union conducted an audit in relation to ACSAG payments to a number of our members that work within a number of their aged care facilities. Allegedly, the HWU audit prompted ACSAG to undertake a review of its processes for the payment of overtime rates of pay. This review identified significant failings in the procedures associated with payment of overtime entitlements. An initial audit undertaken by Japara identified that between 1 November 2008 and 30 November 2014, 4,850 current and former employees were underpaid a staggering $4,782,785 in overtime entitlements where they worked more than 8 hours on a day shift, 10 hours on a night shift or more than 76 hours in a fortnight. The Overtime Underpayments ranged from $100 or less impacting 1,730 employees, to up to more than $5,000 per employee, impacting 212 employees (Fair Work Ombudsman Investigation of ACSAG, 2014). Japara and ACSAG acknowledged that the Overtime Underpayments occurred due to a failure on their part to implement adequate systems and processes, the size of its workforce and the number of industrial instruments applying at ACSAG

Supplementary Video 2 Tracking of ν3 in a series of axial slices from base to apex. ν3 tracks indicate the sheet-normal direction of the myocardial laminae. In the LV, the radial arrangement of these tracks suggests that the myocardial sheets are aligned near-parallel to the myocardial wall surface in the relaxed heart. A radial arrangement of ν3 tracks is also observed in the aorta, whereas in the RV, they are oriented more longitudinally. In the left and right atria, tracks are generally arranged normal to the local atrial surface.
