Goal: This is a list of goals that we compile each year, and hand out to all of our staff members to help inspire.
Audience: Several staff members/interns
Direction: This year, we are making several transitions within the ministry that I wanted to convey as a journey. Last year we focused more around building and foundations. This year is more about transitioning and exploration.
Project: Hand-out to either hang up or keep on their desk
Other important info: I'm not sure that I'm crazy about the floating page... any thoughts?

One of the main objectives of the European Union is to promote economic, social and territorial cohesion between regions. The reformed EU Cohesion Policy 2014-2020 comes at a pivotal moment. Recent years of austerity have seen rising unemployment and widening inequality, especially in peripheral regions, with youth, women and ethnic minorities worst affected.
Making over €350 billion available to invest in Europe's regions, cities and the real economy, the reformed Cohesion Policy is the EU's principal investment tool to deliver the Europe 2020 goals: creating growth and jobs, tackling climate change and energy dependence, reducing poverty and social exclusion. Once member states’ national contributions and the leverage effect of financial instruments are taken into account, the impact is likely to be over €500 billion.
Launching a new partnership with the European Commission, with the participation of the OECD, Salzburg Global’s program is timed to help key stakeholders understand the rules and results-oriented focus of the reformed Cohesion Policy and ensure maximum impact for these investments. It will build on our longstanding European program which has featured over 15 sessions devoted to the EU’s development and expansion, grounded in our location at the crossroads of East and West.
The 2014 program will focus on ways in which regional development policy and complementary instruments can enhance competitiveness and effective governance at local, regional and transboundary levels.
Participants will examine tools for environmentally sustainable innovation, human capital development, creation and financing of SMEs and the transition to a low carbon economy. They will compare practical projects and mechanisms that have delivered successful outcomes for competitiveness and inclusive growth, in and beyond Europe, in order to identify transferable tools and connect stakeholders who are leading cutting-edge work around the world.
The program will be held from May 17 to May 22, 2014 in Salzburg, Austria, with a one day, high-level pre-session meeting on May 17-18, focusing on European competitiveness, the shift to low carbon economies, and the role of sustainable cities.
Photo #1
Objective 3: Composition Techniques
1. Rule of Thirds: In my photo there is rule of thirds. The object that is the main focus is the seed in the upper right corner of the photo. If the rule of third lines were on the photo the seed would be in-between the right and top lines. The rule of thirds tells us where most people’s eyes get draw to in a photo. In this photo that helps draw our eyes to the main focus of the picture.
2. Perspective and depth: This photo is a good perspective photo because you wouldn’t look at dandelion seeds this way. Most of the time if you are even looking at a dandelion, then you probably would be looking down at the seeds not up. This helps draw people’s attentions to the picture because it is not something you might see every day.
3. Fill the Frame: In the photo the seeds take up the whole view. They fill up the frame. This gives the photo a unique look on the seeds. It also gets rid of most outside distractions that would make it hard to keep our eyes on the focus. Distractions also make a photo look cluttered and unorganized.
4. Leading Lines: This photo has leading lines that lead up to the seed tops. The stems of the seeds lead up to the focus of the photo there for drawing our eyes to the focus of the picture. This makes the photo more appealing and easier to look at.
5. Pattern: In this photo the seeds make a pattern, they repeat and give the picture a neat look. The pattern helps draw our eyes to the whole photo but still keeps you coming back to the main focus not anything else. The pattern makes the picture look nice, clean and gives no distractions to draw our eyes away from the focus for too long.
6. Texture: My photo has a textured 3D look. This is caused by the angle where the photo was taken; some of the seeds are farther away from the camera then others. This makes the picture look like its jumping out at you and not just a flat photo. It makes the photo more interesting at nicer to look at.
Objective 4: Lighting
Types of lighting and how they contribute to the image: The photo has soft side lighting. You can tell the lighting is soft because the seeds have a lot of detail and are very clear. You can tell the photo has side lighting by where the shadows are on the seed stems.
Objective 5: Post Production
Corrections/adjustments made: This photo has been resized, sharpened, cropped and the contrast was changed. These changes have made the photo clearer, and more in focus, they have also been cropped to make the main focus the seeds because there was some distractions.
Objective 6: Critique
Strength: This photo is really nice because the perspective if very unique. It gives you a new way to look at dandelions. It also has good lighting the light highlights the details and shows how delicate and soft the tops of the seeds are. These together give the picture a soft and gentle take on something you might not have seen before.
Area for growth: The thing I don’t like about this photo is the seed in the top left corner. It takes up the whole corner because it is so close to the lens. The photo would have had a lot more space in it if there was no seed. It takes up the whole corner that could have been used to make the picture better. Next time I take a photo I will try to make sure there is nothing in the photo that takes up too much space in a bad way.
Focus on Eldercare's response to COVID-19
At the purpose when the noxious impacts of COVID-19 showed first in Wuhan, the entire city and therefore the entire of Hubei Province ground to a halt. The lockdown of Wuhan brought remarkable torment and threatening difficulties for several individual occupants therein first focus. Presently, COVID-19 represents those equivalent difficulties for individuals and social welfare frameworks all-inclusive. Especially, it tests our aggregate endeavors to believe one another, particularly the foremost defenseless among us.
As a populace, individuals quite 70 will generally have more fragile insusceptible frameworks and progressively fundamental conditions that obstruct their capacity to battle the infection. They're likewise sure to dwell on bunch day to day environments, nearby people. Floods of COVID-19 passings in nursing homes — first within the Seattle territory, at that time on the brink of Sacramento and now during the country — have underscored this inauspicious reality. Up until now, Californians quite 65 have made up, at any rate, a fourth of the state's affirmed instances of COVID-19.
Be that because it may, guidelines, especially for helping living offices, are unsafely failing to satisfy the expectations in protecting California's older folks from this infection. Luck, Gov. Gavin Newsom's plan on Aging activity, as of now ongoing, presents an opportunity to forcefully address this peril and find how to secure an enormous number of more seasoned Americans.
Helped living focuses are an aid to the Eldercare business and therefore the enormous corporate proprietors that currently command the market. Simultaneously, in any case, an absence of guideline and oversight of staffing levels and capabilities — particularly prerequisites for on-location doctors and much prepared clinical experts — has left the business defenseless against misuse and unfortunate results. One glaring issue that has got to be tended to: helped living focuses are directed by the state Department of Social Services rather than the Department of Public Health.
In any case, it helped to measure maybe a piece of social welfare and clinical consideration conveyance framework, not only a direction for living. Propelled a year ago, Newsom's plan on Aging has framed a warning advisory group, is holding open gatherings and within the fall is planned to offer a 10-year plan which will address issues from lodging and vagrancy to crisis readiness to manhandle and disrespect. The venture has made a "Value Committee" to urge a contribution from a progressively differing gathering of residents and associations, including agents of the crippled network, Native Americans and other ethnic minorities.
Considering the spreading coronavirus general wellbeing emerging, it's basic that the representative's plan on Aging takes on an expansive and genuine open arrangement job. We weren't bothered with elevated level clichés for tending to the wants of the old. We'd like solid arrangements, solid guidelines with implementation teeth and a guarantee to continued oversight.
The Age of COVID-19
Older people who get themselves out of the blue alone without authority over their conditions are at specific hazards for an assortment of serious, even hazardous, physical and psychological well-being conditions, including a subjective decrease. Limitations on the opportunity of development ought to be proportionate and not founded solely on age.
COVID-19, as different irresistible melodies, represents a higher hazard to populaces that live in nearness. This hazard is especially intense in nursing or matured consideration offices, where the infection can spread quickly and has just brought about numerous passings. About 1.5 million older people individuals live in the nursing homes in the US, barring helped living offices and different settings making nearness.
Twenty-three individuals kicked the bucket in a flare-up at an office in Washington State in February and March, and the US Centers for Disease Control detailed 400 additional cases in offices as of April 1. On March 31, wellbeing experts in the Grand East district of France detailed 570 passings of older people in nursing homes.
Older people often end up in nursing homes due to governments' inability to offer adequate social types of assistance for individuals to live freely in the network, approaches that have put millions at included danger of getting the infection as a result of their organization. Governments ought to guarantee the progression of network-based administrations with the goal that individuals don't wind up in organizations without different alternatives.
Expound now on the roles played via care laborers in continuing the lives of the old during that emergency, and who, however dreadful themselves, by and by remain day in and outing inside the bounds of their wards to offer fundamental consideration.
Care supervisor Chang, the woman in charge of the consideration laborers among whom I led my hands-on work, coordinated the change of her ward into a self-sufficient fixed of a unit of care. The passage to her floor is carefully monitored; just fundamental conveyances are permitted, for instance, nourishment and clothing. Since nobody can enter or leave the structure, the flask for the older was transformed into a dozing region for care laborers. Despite the very fact that a lot of consideration laborers have their circle of relatives to require care of, they put that piece of their life under the control of others. Care specialist Lin, whose spouse died at the start of the pandemic, did not have the chance to completely grieve his passing due to incessant understaffing at Sunlight. She came back to figure following the burial service, despite realizing that she not, at now expected to figure at Sunlight to hide her significant other's clinical costs. Lin's arrival says much regarding her promise to her calling, to her colleagues, and to the old she had come to understand so well. My examination with care laborers recommends that it's an enthusiastic association and an awareness of other's expectations that propels them to remain the end of the day in care work. This is often borne out immediately.
Carefully add China is often seen as being grimy and unfortunate, thanks to an excellent extension to its nearby hook up with the realistic consideration required by slight, skilled bodies. Chinese consideration laborers are for the foremost part provincial to urban transients or urban specialists laid far away from previous state-claimed processing plants. In any case, direct consideration is intricate. In any case, its unpredictability goes unrecognized, or maybe disregarded by institutional powers that organize benefits and generalize the old as bodies to chip away at, to the disregard of their social-passionate necessities. As is valid with Sunlight, things which might typically undermine the keenness of care laborers, for instance, the absence of institutional acknowledgment for his or her enthusiastic work, are required to be postponed. Care specialists are currently centered around a shared objective: ensuring the gift assistance of the older. COVID-19 propels care laborers to consider what kind of care is required and the way to offer that care. It fills in as a channel through which the elemental beliefs of care are observed. Care is about common human weakness and our intrinsic association. Care laborers at Sunlight, in their aggregate every minute of everyday endeavors to secure the older, typify this ethic through their consideration. May the respectful regard, they hold of the older in their consideration redound on them and everyone consideration laborers overall who are fighting this pandemic on the bleeding edge!
Like the consideration laborers at Sunlight, the laborers in numerous nations are regarded human life so that we cannot be embarrassed to return clean with the leading edge about ourselves. Salute the spearheading staff who salutes our purposeful endeavors to handle the pandemic in numerous settings around the globe, within the daylight, yet additionally to ensure that veterans are appropriately treated, took care of and washed.
We all hope and pray that the coronavirus will soon be controlled and subdued. And that when the crisis is behind us, that we continue the important work of protecting the elderly and other vulnerable segments of our citizenry.

It is June 1460. Henry VI is King of England and Lord John Clifford is master of Skipton Castle. However, the country is in the grip of a civil war between the supporters of the King, known as Lancastrians because Henry VI is also Duke of Lancaster; and supporters of his rival, Richard, Duke of York, whose supporters are known as Yorkists. Lord John Clifford is a prominent Lancastrian.
In 1455, Lord Thomas Clifford had been murdered by the Yorkists in St. Albans where he had been attending the King. His son, the twenty year old John became Lord John Clifford and swore revenge on those who had killed his father - the Duke of York and Richard Neville, the Earl of Salisbury. He began to raise and train soldiers - including the legendary ‘Flower of Craven' - and mounted a string of attacks on the property of the northern Yorkists - principally the Nevilles.
The Battles of Blore Heath and Ludford Bridge were fought in the autumn of 1459. Following their defeat at Ludford Bridge the Yorkist leaders fled to Ireland and France, but it soon became clear that the Duke of York had not abandoned hope of seizing the English throne. By May 1460, the Yorkists, with French help, had succeeded in raising an army and were poised to mount an invasion of England.
The Red-Wyvern Society is a historical re-enactment society. Whos objective is to re-create as many aspects of life as possible during the Fifteenth Century, which included the Hundred Years' War and the Wars of the Roses

The Global Chamber Platform (GCP), an initiative led by EUROCHAMBRES President and GCP Chair, Christoph Leitl, the United Nations Industrial Development Organisations (UNIDO), the Club of Rome and the Energy Globe Foundation adopted an international Declaration of Intent for vigorous promotion and implementation of the principles of a Circular Economy across the globe.
The signature happened during the world’s most important environmental award ceremony, the 20th edition of the Energy Globe World Awards, that took place in Espoo, Finland. The main objective of this declaration is to increase the promotion and to boost the implementation of circular economy across the globe through sustainable solutions for the business community.
Yasin Malik is the chairman of the now banned Kashmir Liberation Front and most objective analysts agree that, as Wikipedia itself notes, 'Malik renounced violence in 1994 and adopted peaceful methods to come to a settlement of the Kashmir conflict.'
Despite having renounced violence for many years, he was arrested in 2019 and kept in what a petition presented by Labour MP Debbie Abrahams to the British parliament has described as "inhumane conditions" preceding an unfair trial. Three years later, on 22 May 2022 Malik was sentenced by an Indian court to life imprisonment on what the petition points out was a 'contrived' charge of terror funding.

On Saturday 5 August, activists gathered in central London to protest the ongoing brutal and illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir by India and its use of extrajudicial killings, forced disappearances, intimidation and censorship to maintain its control.
Many of those present were also angry at Britain's continued support of India and failure to take action in support of the Kashmiri people's struggle for independence. India has forcibly occupied the region for over 75 years in open defiance of UN resolutions calling for a fair and impartial plebiscite under UN auspices to determine the area's status.
The protest marked four years since the Indian government, on 5 August 2019, revoked the autonomy of Jammu and Kashmir, previously guaranteed by the constitution, and instead imposed direct rule from Delhi. As Human Rights Watch (HRW) reported, "The government action was accompanied by serious rights violations including arbitrary detention of hundreds of people, a total communications blackout and severe restrictions on freedom of movement and peaceful assembly."
www.hrw.org/news/2022/08/02/india-repression-persists-jam...
In their most recent report on Jammu and Kashmir, HRW noted that "the government's repressive policies and failure to investigate and prosecute alleged security force abuses have increased insecurity among Kashmiris," and added that "journalists in Kashmir face increasing harassment by security forces, including raids and arbitrary arrests on terrorism charges. Authorities in India have shut down the internet more often than anywhere else in the world. A majority of those shutdowns have been in Kashmir, where they are used to curb protests and access to information."
www.hrw.org/news/2022/08/02/india-repression-persists-jam...
Enforced disappearances also continue as freelance journalist Mir Aiyaz reported in Fair Planet (23 February 2023). He interviewed Khera Begum about the arrest of her son, Abdul Rashid Dar, by over forty Indian army soldiers, with no police officer attending as is legally required. An officer reportedly told his older brother, Shabir, that the police had been "informed" and that he would be released the next morning. He was not. When the family and other locals went to enquire at the nearest army base, initially they were asked to return later, and then eventually told that he had "escaped from custody." As Aiyaz notes
'Rashid's family and community members do not believe the army's version of events. "How can a man escape in the presence of ever vigilant army men?" rued Shabir. "He was too meek a person to escape, and there was no possibility of running away in the forest where he was taken."
It seems equally difficult to believe that if the army had openly stated its intention to hold him for just 24 hours, that he would have risked everything on attempting to flee.
Aiyaz observes that 'locals, particularly youths living in Kunan Poshpora have altered their daily habits due to their fear of being abducted,' and he quotes a student who while 'staring at the fenced playground (of a school), which used to be brimming with kids but has recently been mostly desolate,' told him that "boys head home after the maghrib prayers, and time spent in the playground has been slashed down."
www.fairplanet.org/story/whats-behind-the-forced-disappea...
The Indian Army has deployed a huge military force in Jammu and Kashmir which some estimates suggest might be as high as 900,000 troops. One soldier for every eight civilians. According to journalist Munir Akram writing in the Pakistan Observer (6 August 2023), the Indian military has "perpetrated a vicious campaign of repressive actions, including extrajudicial killings of innocent Kashmiris in fake encounters, custodial killings and "cordon-and-search" operations; use of pellet guns to kill, maim and blind peaceful protestors, abduction and enforced disappearances and "collective punishments," with the destruction and burning of entire villages and urban neighborhoods.'

www.eureporter.co/world/pakistan/2023/08/06/seminar-on-hu...
Despite India's ongoing brutal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir and despite the continued tension and risk of war with Pakistan, Britain continues to grant licenses for the export of arms to both Pakistan and India.
On 23 February 2023, Politico reported that in the wake of the Ukraine war, 'Britain's defense and aerospace firms now see an opportunity to chip away at Russia's share (of India's military imports)', adding that 'Rolls-Royce and BAE Systems are part of a delegation to Aero India, Asia's biggest airshow which is taking place this week.'
The same report also seemed to suggest that rather than attempt to limit arms exports to maintain some leverage on the shocking human rights situation in Jammu and Kashmir and limit the arms race between the two regional nuclear powers - India and her neighbour Pakistan, the British government appears instead intent on promoting arms exports to India. According to Politico, "Last year the UK put India on its defense equipment fast-track - the first such move offered to an Indo-Pacific nation - in a shift that will reduce red tape and shorten delivery times for defense procurement."
www.politico.eu/article/india-pursues-russian-military-bu...
It should also be noted that the United Kingdom is already one of India's largest suppliers of weapons. According to the UK House of Commons Library arms exports update in January 2023, on a "10 year rolling basis the UK is Europe's largest and the world's second largest defence exporter' beaten only by the United States (p10) and the report ranks India as the fourth largest importer of arms from the UK after Saudi Arabia, Oman and the United States, based on arms transfers between 2012 and 2021. (p21).

Decision time, GO, NO GO
Completed Objective B). This is a signficant event. It is here I deceide if I procede to objectives C) and D). I have to make a decision, GO, NO GO based on the following information
*are you on/ahead of schedule?
*do you feel tired?
*are you injured?
*do you feel confident you can go down, move along and get out on time?
*do you have the proper kit?
*is the weather favourable?
*are you making the right decision with the available information?
*based on your previous experience how are you prepared?
The only thing you want to do is make the right decision. There is no loss of face not achieving this task. This decision has to be egoless. Difficult to do once your pumped up and moving along. Hence the forced rest, kit re-arrangement, physical marking on the map forcing myself to go through the implications.
All these things seem a bit meladramatic and possibly weird to someone who is not in this place at this time after travelling since 0530. But beleive me if you cannot honestly answer these questions with 100% surity you will have a bad day. Why?
Objective C, D
Objective C to D involves going from around 140 metres (does not sound far) from the current elevation of the road to the creek water line. This is complicated by the fact the terrain is steep (approx 45-60 degree), the terrain is slippery, wet and we are just coming out of winter. Then traversing a downward moving creekline in rocky densly covered bush at the bottom of a wet mountain range.
What does this mean?
Descent
Well the fact the place is so steep and wet, the ground will possilby not be stable. Anything you try to grab will be covered in moss and be wet. So it could be rotten. Also the ground has significant rock cover near the top increasing the likelyhood of slipping. The ground cover can be dry & slippery or wet and slippery.
Traversal
Once at the creekline the chances of going up the slope of 45-60 degrees is very difficult. If you get down you are going to expend a lot of energy trying to get back up - if you can. If the weather is wet, the creekline will be swollen making it more difficult to get around. If the weather is dry it will mean the easier to traverse but with a slight increase in chance of bushfire.
Injury
If you fall & break a leg, sprain an ankle the chances of getting out quickly decrease. Anyone coming in to get you will have a *very difficult* time trying to extract you.
Unknown
There is always the unknown factor you cannot take into account due to inexperience or factors you have not taken into account.
Conclusion
So with these decisons mulled over I decided to continue. I was confident I could pull this off in the time I estimated. I had planned and thought the situation out as carefully as I could. It's a go.

This is the fine view looking back over my line of descent from An Ruadh-stac. No sooner are you down from that lofty height when the climb up to the top of its northern neighbour demands immediate attention. On the coll here, I chatted to a bunch of guys asking if they had seen anything of my missing partner Lance? but alas no. I contrived to convey a demenour of nonchalant confidence over the trifling unimportance of my enquiry, made my excuses and addressed the climb....my worries growing with every foot of ascent! Since we parted below An Gorm Loch I've been concerned about where Lance was. Was he behind me? at first I thought so, but then I reasoned he must be in front of me. By the time I got to the top of An Ruadh-stac with it's long views to our next objective, Maol Chean-dearg I couldn't believe he could be so far in front of me and mental confusion reigned. All unneccessary of course, as it transpired Lance was behind me and not a jot bothered as he could see me in front of him. Despite my frequent backward gaze I was denied the confirming comfort of visual contact and a few hours were yet to pass before my mind was put to rest.
In the 1960's Tom Patey and Chris Bonnington climbed a new long route up through the terraces on the right hand side (north) of the mountain, from its summit I looked down and its very broken so doubt if it gets a lot of attention these days. I made good fast progress down the ridge leading to the ice-smoothed slabs above the lochans. From top to bottom in an hour which with no path I thought not too bad at all for an OAP, and its a good bit steeper than it looks....
Pra Kring Naresuan Mong Ngai was made with the objective to raise funds for the construction of "Pagoda of King Naresuan the Great" (Jaedi Pra Somdej Naresuan Maha Rachanuson) at Mong Ngai District in Chiang Dao, Chiang Mai.
Arjan Sawai was tasked to prepare the nawa material and to lead the pour gold ceremony. Before the making of the Pra Kring, the Kamakan members gave sheets of gold, silver and nak to many famous monks all over Thailand for them to inscribe yant and to chant on it for a full rain retreat (3 months). After the rain retreat, these sheets are collected back and given to Arjan Sawai to be used as materials for the nawa.

Pra Kring Naresuan Mong Ngai is considered by many to be the most complete pra kring. Extremely exquisite design with excellent nawa material. In addition, the phittee phutta pisek is conducted by many popular masters of those days.
Till this day, Pra Kring Naresuan Mong Ngai is recognised as one of the top pra kring of the Lanna region. It is always included in all major amulet competitions held in all regions and falls under the "Most popular Pra Kring" category. It is extremely popular among collectors and the price has gone up to more than 50,000 baht for a normal one.
Besides condition, the color of the skin plays an important part in determining the value of this pra kring. The redder the skin, the higher the price it commands. A nice and flawless condition one with original skin intact, sharp and clear code hammered at the base, coupled with a very red skin will enable the pra kring to command a very high price in the market.
This piece as shown in the picture has all the characteristic as mentioned above. This is why it was able to win 3rd prize in a major competition even though it was held in homeground (Chiang Mai), where one can expect the competition to be fierce and the number of entries to be very high.
There are available superior, less than moderate and good 50mm objectives. All cannot be considered appropriate tools for reverse objective close-ups. A poor performer isn't a good one even reversed. (There may, however, be exceptions.)
One essential thing to check is the diameter of of the objective's filter thread. Reversing rings aren't available for exotic sizes. 49, 52 and 55mm are quite good choices when selecting tubes from your drawers.
Naturally not only 50mm objectives can be reversed. Some trial and error testing will soon show you your favorites.
One important thing to remember when purchasing objectives: many objectives with good reputation have been made for exotic cameras with exotic mounts. They are cheap! The mount plays no role in reversing.
Have fun with macro photos!

The Hindu philosophy ( as pronounced in the "Vedas" written in Sanskrit by ancient sages of India)lays down
the four objectives of life - Artha, Kama,Dharma and Mokshha.
That is , Wealth, Sensual Pleasures,
Spiritual upliftment and Transgression from the physical life or liberation.These are the aims for attaining physical,psychological,moral and spiritual well being by human beings.
The four pictures of the coconut are illustrative of these four objectives.
1)The coconut tree saps the nutrients and water and uses sunlight to create its wealthy yield. 2)The tasty tender coconut and the soft tender ungrown kernel stands for comfort and sensual pleasures. 3)The hard, ripe coconut kernel which is an essential offering in "pooja" , distributed as "prasadam" to all represents "dharma", the philanthropic sharing or charity and 4)lastly the fallen, withered pod kissing Mother Earth is a symbol of sacrifice and the state of becoming one with the Eternal or the Almighty.
These objectives are referred to as "Four Purusharthams"

Commonwealth Games protested
Source: Deadly Story
In 1982 the Commonwealth Games were held in Brisbane. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people used the international focus on the event to their benefit, bringing to light the injustices they faced every day by staging a protest.
Brisbane 1982 - Highlighting injustices
The Commonwealth Games is an international sporting event between current and former colonies of the British Empire held every 4 years. In 1982 they were held in Brisbane. The international attention the Games brought about provided an opportunity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to highlight the injustices and discrimination they were facing.
The objectives of the protest were many and covered a range of different areas of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander life but two of the significant issues raised were land rights and control of Aboriginal affairs. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community wanted complete ownership of their lands in Queensland and to be able to protect Country from mining.
Legalities of the marches
It became clear as early as January of 1982 that activists were planning some sort of action for the Games. As the supposed ‘threat’ of Indigenous activity grew closer, the then Queensland Premier Joh Bjelke-Peterson declared a State of Emergency and proclaimed street marches illegal. Only two marches were approved by Queensland police making all other marches illegal. This meant that anyone who took part in unapproved marches could be arrested and charged under the new Games legislation. If a protestor was found guilty they faced a fine of up to $2,000 or two years in prison.
The protest
As the games drew near the Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community began calling out for people to come and support the protests and demonstrations against the discrimination they were suffering.
Leaders of the Community had differing views what kind of action would get the best results. Some believed peaceful rallies and cultural festivities would best get the message across while others felt that it would make little impact and that they needed to be more forceful.
On September 26 around 2,000 people marched for land rights. Protesters carried placards and banners and walked peacefully from the city to a park across the Brisbane River. It was considered Queensland’s biggest Aboriginal march at the time.
On September 29 another 1,000 people marched peacefully across central Brisbane in support of land rights. Hey held placards, banners and wore badges that read:
Stop playing games: land rights now!
A demonstration was held during the opening ceremony and police were called to have protesters removed. As the police moved in and began arresting people, protestors chanted 'the whole world is watching.' Thirty-nine people were arrested in that demonstration.
A further 104 protesters were arrested on October 4 during a land rights sit-in near the athletics stadium. According to The Age newspaper those who were arrested were the first people to be charged under the Queensland Government's Games security laws. Most charges were dropped over the next year. On the same day around 20 spectators sat quietly in the stands of the athletics stadium holding Aboriginal flags for the duration of the program.
Another rally was held on October 7. Around 500 people attended. Brisbane activist, Ross Watson, spoke to the crowd saying that "we are going to march today…we have no permit…we will be breaking the law. If you march you are likely to be arrested." About 400 police descended on a group of protestors who broke off from the main and arrested around 260 protesters including the then Governor-General’s daughter Ann Stephen.
This was a stark example of police and government suppression of our people’s right to protest and free speech. Despite the harm caused by the authorities, the people involved fought hard to have their message heard.

One of the main objectives of the European Union is to promote economic, social and territorial cohesion between regions. The reformed EU Cohesion Policy 2014-2020 comes at a pivotal moment. Recent years of austerity have seen rising unemployment and widening inequality, especially in peripheral regions, with youth, women and ethnic minorities worst affected.
Making over €350 billion available to invest in Europe's regions, cities and the real economy, the reformed Cohesion Policy is the EU's principal investment tool to deliver the Europe 2020 goals: creating growth and jobs, tackling climate change and energy dependence, reducing poverty and social exclusion. Once member states’ national contributions and the leverage effect of financial instruments are taken into account, the impact is likely to be over €500 billion.
Launching a new partnership with the European Commission, with the participation of the OECD, Salzburg Global’s program is timed to help key stakeholders understand the rules and results-oriented focus of the reformed Cohesion Policy and ensure maximum impact for these investments. It will build on our longstanding European program which has featured over 15 sessions devoted to the EU’s development and expansion, grounded in our location at the crossroads of East and West.
The 2014 program will focus on ways in which regional development policy and complementary instruments can enhance competitiveness and effective governance at local, regional and transboundary levels.
Participants will examine tools for environmentally sustainable innovation, human capital development, creation and financing of SMEs and the transition to a low carbon economy. They will compare practical projects and mechanisms that have delivered successful outcomes for competitiveness and inclusive growth, in and beyond Europe, in order to identify transferable tools and connect stakeholders who are leading cutting-edge work around the world.
The program will be held from May 17 to May 22, 2014 in Salzburg, Austria, with a one day, high-level pre-session meeting on May 17-18, focusing on European competitiveness, the shift to low carbon economies, and the role of sustainable cities.
