Australian Association of Women Judges Why Women Judges Matter

The Australian Association of Women Judges was formed in 1992 at the instigation of Justice Jane Mathews and others from New South Wales. In 1989 Justice Mathews attended as Australia’s sole representative at the 10th anniversary of the United States National Association of Women Judges. Funding had been obtained to bring women judges from all over the world and it was the first ever international gathering of women judges. It was an extraordinary occasion and Jane Mathews experienced the life-changing effect of this, in the way that many women judges have done ever since, when attending international conferences of the International Association of Women Judges (IAWJ). The conference provided the inspiration and impetus to establish the Australian Association of Women Judges (AAWJ). Australia is a vast but sparsely populated country and there were relatively few women judges in the early 1990s. Getting enough together to form an association was not easy, but on 17th March 1992, Jane Mathews convened a meeting in her chambers, attended by the grand total of 6 women judges and the AAWJ was formed. The AAWJ remained a very small organisation throughout the 1990s and beyond 2000. In 2003 Justice Mary Gaudron retired from the High Court of Australia. She was the first woman appointed to Australia’s highest court and was a strong supporter of the AAWJ. The AAWJ held a dinner to mark her retirement, which was attended by women judges from around Australia, and the AAWJ took advantage of this to hold the first general meeting of the Association.

When Justice Mathews served a second term as President of the IAWJ in 2004, she put plans in place to hold the Biennial Conference in 2006. That was a massive effort for the AAWJ at the time, which was still relatively small and even today suffers from the tyranny of distance when trying to bring all members together across Australia. The IAWJ conference in 2006 was a huge success, with 352 women judges from around the world attending, representing 43 countries. There were 95 Australian delegates, thus amounting to the largest ever gathering of Australian women judges. Just as Justice Mathews had experienced in 1989, this 2006 conference proved a life-changing experience for the attendees, increasing membership of the AAWJ and creating ongoing interest in the IAWJ.

In 2005 the AAWJ became an incorporated association (a member organisation of the International Association of Women Judges), sharing the following objectives: • to advance women’s rights to equal justice; • to increase the participation of women at all levels of the judiciary and the legal system; and • to promote education which contributes to the understanding and resolution of legal issues facing women.

Membership of the AAWJ is open to a serving or retired female judge or magistrate, or a female whose principal employment is as a judicial or quasi-judicial officer of an Australian court or tribunal. The Association had about 175 financial members in 2015 including women judicial officers from most courts and tribunals in all states and territories of Australia. Judge Sarah Bradley of the Queensland District Court was elected President in 2006 and was responsible for overseeing an increase in membership of the AAWJ and raising its profile both nationally and internationally. Under Judge Bradley’s leadership, the AAWJ held its first National Conference in 2011 with a keynote speaker on the topic of human trafficking and the sex trade. In 2013 the AAWJ was pleased to host the opening event of the Australian and New Zealand Law and Society Conference at the University of Queensland, which was the launch of a book entitled Australian Feminist Judgments: Righting and Rewriting Law. This book brought together feminist academics and lawyers to present a collection of alternative judgments in a series of Australian legal cases. It was a sold-out event, with over 250 people attending, and addressed by Justice Margaret McMurdo, Chief Justice Diana Bryant and Judge Sarah Bradley. This function elevated the profile of the AAWJ in the broader legal academic field. The AAWJ’s interest in areas involving the intersection of human rights, women’s rights and the law included hosting a seminar in 2014 on commercial surrogacy, an issue of considerable relevance in our region. The keynote speaker was Chief Justice Diana Bryant - now our Association's President - and it attracted media interest and television coverage.

In June 2014 Judge Robyn Tupman from the NSW District Court was elected President. Justice Margaret Beazley, the President of the NSW Court of Appeal, was Secretary and Judge Rosemary Davies from the District Court of South Australia was Vice President. Sadly, Rosemary Davies passed away in 2015. Judge Frances Millane from the County Court of Victoria was elected Vice President in 2016. The governing Committee has representatives from each State of Australia, the Federal Courts and the two Commonwealth Territories. It meets by teleconference at least twice a year and by email as needed. With five different time zones and huge distances, it is difficult to meet in person.

Using Technology for Public Good and Social Impact Regan Lei and his wife Catherine Ying Chen are the co-founders of Impact APAC, a social-orientated technology start-up incubator that helps social entrepreneurs who are passionate about using innovation and technology to make positive impacts on social and environmental issues. The company helps social entrepreneurs to connect with international philanthropic foundations, impact investments, venture capitals, and mentoring from philanthropists and industry experts, by integrating global network and resources of the EastWest Philanthropy Forum (EWPF) and the China Global Philanthropy Institute (CGPI).

Catherine and Regan at the UN Climate Summit China Corner in San Francisco with former US Vice President, Al Gore, Chinese politician, Xie Zhenhua and Chinese philanthropist, Niu Gensheng.

In a recent conversation with the founders of the company, Mr Lei and Ms Chen, we learned about their career development and inspirations behind the founding of Impact APAC. The following is the story of their graduate pathway from the time they graduated from The University of Melbourne until the establishment of Impact APAC. Regan graduated from The University of Melbourne with a Bachelor of Commerce degree, majoring in finance and economics in 2011, and Catherine graduated with the same degree from the same university in 2012. “After graduation,” Regan said, “I started my career in financial services and hoped to develop a long-term professional career in this industry. I was very lucky to

join a local bank which was rapidly growing at that time. Thanks to the bank’s expansion and my hard work, I was promoted from an entry level position to a senior role in the branch within three years.” Despite the promotion, Regan started to question his career choice. “On the one hand, I enjoyed the power in my role that I could make differences in people’s lives; on the other hand, the culture in banking was revenuedriven, profit-first, with employees and customers measured by figures.” Regan, therefore, decided to move on to a more established major bank, with the hope of experiencing a different culture. He was, unfortunately, disappointed again. Moreover, Regan felt that his job had nothing to do with imagination, creativity and innovation: “All I needed to do was to follow instructions and to report results. But I wanted to do something

Feature / GU Newsletter

meaningful that could have a real impact on the world, instead of repeatedly doing tasks that could be done better by artificial intelligence.” But Regan had no other skills or experiences other than banking, and so was left wondering “what else could I do?” At the same time, Catherine had the same problem. Growing up in an entrepreneurial family, Catherine was a curious person who wanted to try various things to explore what her real passion was. Although she didn’t know the terminology of “social impact” at that time, it turned out to be the passion she was searching for. She explored a couple of different industries such as hospitality, real estate and banking, and experienced a very similar path to that experienced by Regan. She ended up with the same questions. The difficulties of her professional life were further complicated when Regan and Catherine had their first baby Miranda, and Catherine experienced the challenging transition to motherhood that many women encounter. The dissatisfaction with her career, together with her maternal struggles, made Catherine question her future. “She suffered a tough time,” Regan said. The couple moved their eyes away from their daily lives and looked at the whole world, asking “the world is changing rapidly in this technology-booming era, can we be part of the change?” In pursuit of the new vision, they made a family decision to go to Silicon Valley, the innovation capital of the world, where so many innovators and change-makers have been created. “We didn’t know how long we would stay there, so we bought one-way tickets for the family to San Francisco. We also applied for a US visa for a nanny who had worked over 20 years at Catherine’s home in China and we were very lucky to have her look after Miranda when we went out to explore Silicon Valley.”

“we felt like the entrepreneurial DNA in our blood was activated. I told myself that I want to be an entrepreneur and to promote innovation for social good. Catherine also found her passion in the social impact space.” At the end of 2018, the US-registered non-profit organisation the East-West Philanthropy Forum (EWPF) got in touch with the couple in order to expand their network in Australia. EWPF, which was initially founded to connect philanthropists from China and the US to promote international collaborations in philanthropy, now wanted to expand their connections to other parts of the world. “To help EWPF establish the connection, we came back to Melbourne, and introduced them to Philanthropy Australia (PA). EWPF and PA decided to hold an Australia-China philanthropists roundtable in June, bringing a delegation of Chinese philanthropists to Melbourne to explore Australia’s philanthropy and social innovation ecosystem, and to meet with Australian philanthropists and discuss potential international collaborations.” Catherine and Regan worked alongside a group of volunteers, designing the two-day visiting program, connecting different organisations and communicating with all the parties involved. To expand the impact, they also held an open conference with the theme of women’s impact and social innovation. Regan explained, “under the hard work of EWPF, PA, and our volunteers, the event was very successful. The Chinese philanthropist delegation spent two days and visited the Lord Mayor Charitable Foundation, Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, The University of Melbourne, Lifeline, the Myer Family, Climate Works Australia, the Gandel Family, Monash University, Chic Management and Philanthropy Australia.

Their time in Silicon Valley turned out to be a lifechanging experience. During their stay, Regan and Catherine joined a philanthropy study program with the theme of how social enterprises, technology innovation and impact investing can work together to change the world. The program completely changed their understanding of entrepreneurship and investing. “I started to know that there are so many entrepreneurs using technology and innovation to solve social and environmental problems, and that there are so many impact investors who not only care about financial returns, but also look at social impact when they make investment decisions. We were so attracted by this idea, so we continued to attend a lot of start-up events to learn more about social innovation and the start-up ecosystem.” In addition to attending the events, Catherine studied a social enterprise course at Stanford University, and Regan studied a productising innovation certificate program at the Santa Clara University. “In Silicon Valley,” Regan said,

impact investing and philanthropic funding, but also can provide mentoring and introducing resources to the start-up founders.” Regan and Catherine asked one of their friends who is a venture capitalist in the US to bring in her network and join them to achieve this mission. “The aggregator,” Regan said, “is called Impact APAC. We are just at the beginning of our journey, and we would love to meet with like-minded people and collaborate with them in many different ways.” During a charity event the couple had previously held, Catherine became friends with Jodie, a very Catherine and Regan attended the philanthropy study program successful businesswoman who organised by China Global Philanthropy Institute. runs a leading model agency and This group photo was taken at the Stanford Campus. etiquette school in Australia.

How Can I Make the World a Better Place? Rotary’s Commitment to Service Above Self Many of us might have wondered at some point in our life — usually when we are choosing what degree to do at university or after we finished our studies when we were choosing which career pathway to follow — ‘how can my education and work make this world a better place?’ or ‘how can I make a difference in the life of other human beings?’ The answer to these questions often is just around the corner from where you live, where your local Rotary club is teaming up to plan for its next community project. For over 100 years, Rotary has opened a world of possibilities to individuals who are passionate about taking action against global challenges such as poverty, conflict resolution, education, and clean water for all — among many other issues that the organisation has been involved with. This article takes a brief look at Rotary and the widelyrecognised important role it has played — and is still playing — in the world.

What is Rotary?

Rotary is a global network of millions of volunteers around the world, united to solve some of the world’s most challenging problems and make a difference in the lives of people and communities. Rotary is comprised of three parts:

Rotary International

Rotary International is an association of 1.2 million people from all walks of life, disciplines, professions, gender, age, religion and ethnicity, volunteering their time and talents to serve their communities and the world. The organisation currently has six areas of focus in which its global membership seeks to create change: promote peace; fight disease; provide clean water, sanitation, and hygiene; save mothers and children; support education; and grow local economies.

Rotary Foundation The mission of Rotary Foundation of Rotary International is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education and the alleviation of poverty. During the past 100 years, the Foundation has spent $3 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects.

The Rotary Foundation has established Peace Centres in six universities around the world and has trained over 1,400 graduates at Masters, or Professional Certificate levels in peace and conflict resolution.

Rotary Clubs

Rotary unite dedicated people into local Rotary clubs to exchange ideas, build relationships and take action to resolve issues in their communities. Rotary International is an association of more than 33,000 Rotary clubs in over 200 countries and geographical areas. Rotary is a dedicated group of people who share a passion for community service. Rotary members share ideas, make plans, hear from the community, and then take action to make the necessary changes in their community. The funds for those community services are raised through local projects and activities — like a sausage sizzle or a local book fair. However, the dedication of Rotary Clubs to their communities, the camaraderie and fellowship of Rotarians and their perseverance to raise money for the betterment of their communities mean that together they raise thousands of dollars that will make a difference in the lives of people in their communities who need their assistance.

So What in the World is Rotary Doing? Rotary has many significant local and global initiatives underway at the moment. The signature project that Rotary has long been working on, and fighting for, is the eradication of polio. Rotary began its fight against polio in 1979 with a project to immunize 6 million children in the Philippines. To date, Rotary has immunised 2.5 billion children against polio and the disease is endemic in only three countries (Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan) — down from 125 in 1988 when 350,000 cases of polio were reported.

In 2019, there has only been 56 cases of polio. In order to achieve its global, long-lasting impact, Rotary has partnered with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and UNICEF to make the world polio-free. “When Rotarians combine the passion for service along with the power of a global network, you are unstoppable,” said Gates Foundation CEO Jeff Raikes at a Rotary convention when the Gates Foundation announced their commitment to Rotary’s mission of worldwide polio eradication. To date, Rotary clubs worldwide have contributed USD $1,200,000,000 ($1.2 billion) to polio eradication effort. In Australia, there are 1,100 Rotary clubs, one of which is The Rotary Club of Carlton. Since 1985, the Rotary Club of Carlton has supported innumerable international, national and local projects. These include the Ronald McDonald House, Carlton Junior Football Club, swimming and safety lessons for refugee children, Carlton Primary School, the National Youth Science Forum, the Rotary Youth Leadership Award, the Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment, homeless services for young people, Mental Health First Aid courses in high schools, support of Australian Rotary Health’s mental health research, Rotary programs against polio and malaria, and education of girls in Afghanistan.

Rotary then — to answer the question ‘What is Rotary?’ — is when the simple and small things collide with the best of intentions to serve humanity and to be a Rotarian is simply is to have a desire to do something good to help others and a make a difference.

‘I’m not really sure what Rotary does, but I’m happy to come along’: Ian Riseley’s Story Ian H. S. Riseley is an Australian accountant and businessman, who served as the President of Rotary International from 2017 to 2018. He was the fifth Australian to be the President of Rotary International. Riseley’s earliest exposure to Rotary was typical of what many newcomers to the organisation experience: He wasn’t sure what to make of it. In 1977, he was the owner of an accounting firm when one of his clients invited him to speak at the Rotary Club of Cheltenham. “My first question,” Riseley says, “was, ‘About what?’” His second: “What’s a Rotary club?” Riseley recalls that, “I said, ‘I’m not really sure what Rotary does, but I’m happy to come along. The movers and shakers were all there, so I thought, wow, what a group to be involved with.’” He became a charter member of the Rotary Club of Sandringham in 1978, when he started contributing to the community with a project of constructing shelter for commuters, particularly seniors, waiting for the bus in Sandringham. Riseley’s enthusiasm for Rotary faced a challenge, however, when the question of admitting women as members arose in the early 1980s. When membership for women became a contested issue, he says, “I thought to myself, how crazy is that? What sort of organisation says no to half of the population? So I resigned.” The president of his club said, “Let me recommend that you don’t resign. We encourage you to agitate from the inside to invite women to be part of Rotary.’” Soon after, Rotary changed its constitution in 1989, welcoming women as members.

Riseley embraces the idea that Rotary is a place where people network and make professional connections while doing good in the world. In response to the question ‘why should people join Rotary?’, Riseley says, the most important reason is “the chance to make a difference in the world. If someone asked me to eradicate polio, my ability to do this would be rather limited. But when you gather together with 1.2 million people of like mind and have people like Bill and Melinda Gates donate funds to help achieve this objective, the opportunity for success is far greater.” If you want to learn more about Rotary and how you could be involved, come along to the October meeting of the Rotary Club of Carlton at Graduate House on 7th October to hear from Ian about Rotary and how you can help make the world a better place. vvv

August Monthly Luncheon Review Wednesday, 7th August 2019 Everyone says that they are providing personcentred care but are they? Dr Caitlin Barr At Graduate House's August Monthly Luncheon, Dr Caitlin Barr, CEO of Better Hearing Australia, and senior lecturer in the Department of Audiology and Speech Pathology at The University of Melbourne, shared her research on hearing loss and patient-centred care with our members. Asking “what should we be looking for in our health professionals?”, Dr Barr said that the underlying thought of her talk was the important question “how do we make sure we can access health care in ways that is right for us and which will allow us to live as best as we can?” Dr Barr began by saying that “I am going to start at the end, the conclusion to this talk, and that is there is no end to looking for better person-centred care.” She explained that person-centred care is “setting up a situation, in a clinical perspective, where the person with the clinical condition and their families are both involved and empowered and treated as individuals, and the clinician cares beyond the condition the patient has and cares about the patient’s life and emotional well-being. The absence of those things is not person-centred care.” Therefore, “the whole point of person-centred care is that you never ever get there,” Dr Barr concluded, “because it is a mindset of always doing better, always looking for ways to do better for each individual where they are in their condition.” The title ‘Everyone says they are doing patient-centred care but are they?’, in other words, means no one is actually doing it. However, while we know we will never get there, it does not mean we should not try to do better and try reaching that goal. Dr Barr revealed some surprising statistics about the prevalence of hearing loss in Australia. “Hearing loss is the second most common chronic health condition in Australia — one in six Australians suffers from a hearing condition, which is about 4 million Australians and that’s a lot of us. What we also know is that it is as common for those individuals not to seek help and then when they get help, the question is whether they use the hearing aid properly and whether it has a positive impact on their life.” The question then is why that is the case. The most consistent answer across the research done in this area is that hearing aids alone are not the answer. Hearing aids “use an incredible technology but they are meant to be provided with appropriate education and support by family members so that the patient gets used to the adjustment of wearing a hearing aid.” Without the

support for this adjustment, the hearing aid will not do what is supposed to do. “People usually compare it to Dr Caitlin Barr glasses but in fact they should be compared with — in terms of how much adjustment the patient will need — a prosthetic leg. Everyone knows they have be tailored specifically to your leg, it has to be made for you, but then you have to learn how to use it. And it is hard and it takes perseverance. Hearing aids are actually very much like that.” Dr Barr then presented a graph that indicated the triangle of person-centred care — the three factors that constitute this kind of care: ‘individualised,’ ‘ informed’ and ‘involved’. ‘Individualised’ patient care is ensuring that each patient receives the best care suitable for their condition, rather than simply being handed a hearing aid. ‘Involved’ patient care means that it is important and necessary to have family members present in the room and to have them involved in the conversation for the kind of care the patient needs and the role they can play in supporting the patient. ‘Informed’ patient care is about the importance of being informed — that the clinician must talk the patient through all the options available, explain the reasons and allow them to make the decision. Dr Barr said, “Informed patient care provision works backward as well, meaning the clinician should invest in getting to know the patient and their life and asking questions beyond hearing loss, what are some of the things they enjoy doing, or they find most challenging to hear and cope with in their daily life.” Patients often express the sentiment that “I don’t want to be treated as if I am just some punter walking through the door”, pointing to the patients’ need to get tailored help. For the professional and medical care to be tailored to the patient, the clinician has to get to know them first. To get a sense of how much and whether the kind of care the clinicians provide is person-centred, Dr Barr went to actual appointments and observed them for the interaction between the clinician and the

Review / GU Newsletter

patient. She filmed 63 appointments with 26 different clinicians. “There was a great variation of how long the appointments were,” Dr Barr reported, “on average an hour. Almost every single person was diagnosed with hearing loss and almost every single person was recommended a hearing aid. There was a big variation in the level of hearing loss that was diagnosed, from very minimal to very significant. But if you think about the whole idea of individualised health care, everyone’s hearing treatment looked very much the same.” Dr Barr and her research team, which included a specialist in communication analysis, examined the verbal and non-verbal communication in the videos, looking for how the patients responded through their tone or body language to the way the clinician talked with them. Given the complexity of medical language, they also used software to analyse the complexity of the language used. Dr Barr reported the findings of her research according to the three elements of patient-centred care. As far as ‘informed’ aspect of the patient-centred care is concerned, Dr Barr noticed that “from the very moment consultation starts, the clinicians tend to interrupt their clients after 21 seconds. And even when the clinicians were encouraged to let the patients talk, it would still be less than a minute at a time — about 40 seconds to be exact. And usually what people said in that 40 seconds was so important because it was at the front of their minds and they wanted to let their care-giver know as soon as possible.” The answer to the question whether the clinician was informed, Dr Barr said, “is ‘perhaps not’ because they didn’t give enough time to their client to tell their story.” Another problem observed was audiologists asking closed questions, usually of a biomedical nature. “Now these questions are important to ask,” Dr Barr noted, “but they actually dominated the conversations. There is therefore definitely scope to improve the person-centredness of how much the clinician and the patient is informed.” About the ‘involved’ element of patient-centred care, Dr Barr realised that “in terms of question-asking, it was very much clinician-focused and that is very typical of a practitioner-centred way of working rather than giving the client the opportunity to ask questions about whatever they have a question about.” Dr Barr also noticed that “there were not many other significant others who were invited to be involved in the process of treatment and in the conversation. Sometimes they were in the room but were only sitting in a corner and not involved in the conversation.” Dr Barr emphasised her earlier point that, “it is important to engage the whole family because if someone in the family has a hearing loss, it affects everyone in the family around them. So we realised that in the appointments when the clinician handed the control over to the client,

those appointments were more efficient because the clinician had the necessary information more quickly and were, therefore, able to answer the patient’s concerns better and more easily.” When it came to decision-making, she observed that “the clinician would give one option and a second one would be offered only if the first was rejected by the patient. This is a very different scenario than giving all the options that exist at the beginning to the patients and letting them choose which is more efficient for them. The second scenario is an empowering conversation.” “Were the conversations and treatment offered ‘individualised’?” Dr Barr asked about the last element of a patient-centred care, and she responded that they were not. “There is a lot that audiologists can do and offer other than hearing aids, such as communication training or other devices that can help the patient in their day-to-day life.” One of the interesting findings of her research was that “through the language-analysis software, we noticed that when the clinician used a very simple language equivalent of Grade 3 or 4, rather than Grade 9 or 10, people were much more likely to get hearing aids. Getting to the point in simple language was empowering to people and they tended to participate in the conversation and the process more, were more involved with their treatment, and continued to use their hearing aid.” In their language analysis, Dr Barr also looked at whether the language was emotional or simply medical. They realised that there was very little emotional talk, which is a considerable gap, given that “hearing loss has several significant psycho-social consequences — it affects the person’s psychological well-being and their emotions. Feelings are actually important to talk about but you have to build the relationship well enough so people feel comfortable talking about their feelings.” She further explained that, “it is proved in the medical literature that if you do not address and understand people’s emotional concerns with their hearing loss, they are not going to be successful with hearing aids. From those appointments, those people who have had their concerns not heard, addressed and understood chose not to have hearing aids.” Dr Barr said that the outcome of her research shows that “there is a long way to go before we can provide person-centred care”, advising the audience to “be in control. Choose your doctor carefully before going to any consultation and do not stay with them if they do not provide person-centred care. Give them that feedback and that this is about you getting the solution you want rather than a system taking you through how it is done.” We thank Dr Barr for a very insightful talk and all our Members for attending and contributing to the discussion. vvv

Women's Forum Review Wednesday, 17th July 2019 The Importance of Bees Below are some salient points from the forum: 1. World Bee Day is celebrated every year on 20th May to commemorate the birth date of beekeeping pioneer Anton Janša who was born in 1734. The purpose of International World Bee Day is to acknowledge the role of bees and other pollinators for the whole ecosystem.

9. City honey and country honey differ in taste. Wild bees do better in cities and suburbs than farmland, according to new research. The finding reveals agricultural land to be a poorer source of bee-friendly nutrients and shelter than urban surroundings (such as a rooftop).

2. For commercial reasons, honey is often diluted with sugar, so the best way to ensure that we are buying pure honey is to buy from a local beekeeper.

10. Community gardens encourage beekeeping and honey harvesting. There are campaigns for bees and bee-friendly gardens with a variety of plants and flowers being grown by some beekeeping groups. The ultimate goal for farming bees is not for growing crops but for the cultivation and perfection of human beings.

3. Harvesting honey takes a lot of effort. Bees bustle around pollinating flowers tirelessly, so to create a garden that bees can enjoy, we need to choose a range of plants and flowers. 4. Bees need water and we can help by placing a shallow dish of water in our garden around the flowers to avoid bees becoming dehydrated. In drought, there will be fewer flowers. This means less food for bees and other pollinators. 5. Bees are responsible for our food production. Globally there are more honey bees than other types of bees and pollinating insects, so it is the world's most important pollinator of food crops. It is estimated that one third of the food that we consume each day relies on pollination mainly by bees. 6. In 2013, the bee population dropped by one third due to climate change, pesticides and industrial agriculture. However, there is no accurate way of measuring their population. 7. 65% of agricultural crops in Australia depend on bees. They include apples, blueberries and vegetables.

11. The following are some bee facts mentioned at the forum: • Native bees mostly do not make hives. • We are lucky that the diseases that affect bees in America and other places have not affected Australia. • Latin and Greek literature has many references to bees. • Although he was never a beekeeper, Napoleon Bonaparte used the honey bee as one of the most important symbols of the power and prestige of his empire. • Before sugarcane, honey was the source for sweetness. • Masanobu Fukuoka was a Japanese bee farmer and philosopher.

8. Bees produce honey not only for us but also for their own colonies.

The next Women’s Forum is on Wednesday, 18th September 2019 with the topic: Who is responsible for the cladding mess? 10:00AM for 10:30AM start. The forum is free. Lunch is at Member and non-member prices. 20 / www.graduatehouse.com.au / ABN 55610 664 963 / IARN A0023234B

Geoff Todd’s exhibition Quartet Graduate House went to the Ever Gallery in Collingwood to attend Member Mr Geoff Todd AM’s exhibition Quartet, which featured 40 paintings and drawings inspired by the writer Lawrence Durrell and his Alexandria Quartet novels. Apart from the paintings and drawings, a few rare copies of Lawrence Durrell's books were on display, signed and unsigned first editions, proofs, review copies and some well-worn and loved volumes of many of his novels, poetry collections and papers. Geoff has kindly donated a copy of his book, Psalms for the Secular (Saray Publishing, 2005), that he produced in collaboration with poet Stewart Levitt to the Graduate House Library. The book features poems by Stewart, and paintings and drawings by Geoff, with a foreword by Tim Costello, CEO of World Vision Australia (2004-2016), in which he writes: So when I turned to ‘Psalms for the Secular’, I felt the poetry and artwork stand in a long and fine tradition. It is soulful work, as anything with the title, ‘Psalms’ should be. The artists have sought honestly to express their experience, tempered by reflections from history and culture, their observations of life around them and their own personal appreciation of things such as family, intimacy and “the sea of my mortality”.

IMD Alumni – Melbourne Chapter

Celebration at Graduate House of the 50th anniversary of the first Moon Landing.

Dr Gail Iles presenting at the IMD Alumni Melbourne Roundtable Luncheon

IMD Alumni and their guests enjoyed a stimulating presentation by Dr Gail Iles at a celebration lunch at Graduate House on the 50th anniversary of the amazing technological achievement of the first Moon Landing.

Dr Iles currently heads up the RMIT University Space Physics Group, offering master and doctoral degrees in space science. She will be travelling to the US in October to conduct seminars at Texas universities in the space sciences and at NASA.

It was most appropriate, and very special, to have this celebration at the home of The Graduate Union which has so many members from the global academic and science community.

Her presentations in the US will cover the research she is leading at RMIT University. Below is her summary:

Dr Iles has a PhD in physics and trained as an astronaut at NASA. She was selected to be an astronaut instructor at the European Astronaut Centre in Cologne, Germany. Gail taught the world’s astronauts how to operate the Columbus Laboratory, which is the European module of the International Space Station (ISS).

“To shield humans against solar particle events (SPEs) and excessive radiation, novel materials will need to be developed. Shielding can either be passive or active, however, any effective solution will need to remain lightweight and therefore affordable for launch.

22 / www.graduatehouse.com.au / ABN 55610 664 963 / IARN A0023234B

We are conducting simulations of the response to radiation by novel materials using GEANT-4 and the OLTARIS database and constructing active shielding prototypes for radiation testing in the laboratory. Another challenge in space is energy-efficient propulsion. Ionic liquid ferrofluids are under study at the University of Michigan as candidates for electrospray thrusters in nanosatellites. We have built a magnetised ferrofluid experiment as the payload on a model rocket launched in April 2019 in collaboration with Blacksky Aerospace. We observed novel behaviour of the ferrofluid during the 40 second microgravity phase using the on board cameras.

Graduate House News / GU Newsletter

The behaviour corroborates that of nickel nanoparticle formation observed during agglomeration experiments on board parabolic flights. Designs of additional payloads for launch in 2019 and 2020 are: a. radiation testing of the 30,000 – 60,000 feet regime of the atmosphere; b. further ferrofluid behaviour experiments; and

After the infamous explosion of the Apollo 13 spacecraft, Armstrong was commissioned to work on the investigation into the mission, determining the cause of the failed moon landing. The following astronauts who have walked on the moon were listed: 1. Neil Armstrong (Apollo 11) 2. Edwin ‘Buzz’ Aldrin (Apollo 11) 3. Pete Conrad (Apollo 12)

c. design and testing of an anti-spin device.”

4. Alan Bean (Apollo 12)

This research caught the attention of Frank Robert who sat next to Dr Iles over lunch. Frank was recently appointed to the Australian Space Agency Advisory Group.

6. Edgar Mitchell (Apollo 14)

The presentation by Dr Iles included a number of fascinating details on the Apollo missions such as the last minute difficulties on actually landing the Lunar Module (“Eagle”) on the moon and Neil Armstrong’s incredible skill that ensured a safe landing for him and Buzz Aldrin while Mike Collins orbited the moon alone.

10. Charles Duke (Apollo 16)

The amazing statistic is that NASA employed over 500 engineers for the Apollo missions and thousands of contractors. Between 1969 and 1972, another 11 US astronauts followed Armstrong’s initial footsteps. Dr Iles highlighted that in 1970, Apollo 13 was launched in an anticipated third manned moon landing. Commander Jim Lovell and Lunar Module Pilot Fred Haise were scheduled to walk on the moon’s surface; however, a major malfunction prevented the lunar module from touching down. After an oxygen tank exploded, the module was crippled and power, heat and water supply required the spacecraft to immediately return to Earth.

5. Alan Shepard (Apollo 14) 7. David Scott (Apollo 15) 8. James Irwin (Apollo 15) 9. John Young (Apollo 16) 11. Gene Cernan (Apollo 17) 12. Harrison Schmitt (Apollo 17). No one else has walked on the moon since Apollo 17 (7th–19th December 1972). Dr Iles’ research on radiation shielding is critical with the goal of landing on Mars. Also, Dr Iles highlighted the problem with moon dust sticking to space suits and equipment which requires more research on how to handle such a problem before a crewed base is established. IMD Alumni President, Dr Julie Wehbe, in concluding the Q&A session, thanked IMD Alumnus and Graduate Union Member, Mr Greg Robinson both for inviting Dr Iles to do a presentation and for assisting her with introductions to space architecture contacts at the University of Houston (UH). Mr Robinson has enjoyed maintaining his space science connections since his student days at UH when he took part in a NASA project. This involved the study of

physiological and psychological factors during hypothetical long term Apollo flights. Greg expressed that it was a highlight to have astronaut Scott Carpenter visit and check their progress during the weeks lying flat on their backs for this research. Also, when Greg later briefed astronaut Walter Schirra on this study they found they had one thing in common: it was a chore interpreting Rorschach psychological inkblot tests. It is interesting to reflect on having a leading scientist present at an international management school alumni gathering as it is a reminder of the significance of IMD Lausanne partnering with tech organisations and IMD's global and beyond-global impact, as well as highlighting the rewards from a multi-disciplinary collaboration. One such example is the joint initiative of IMD and Cisco, the Global Centre for Digital Business on the Lausanne campus: "We prepare executives to lead their organisations into the digital era to take advantage of digital opportunities and manage disruptive threats. Our goal is to inform and engage organisations along their transformation journey, through applied research and executive education. The DBT Centre combines Cisco's leadership in digitisation with IMD's expertise in developing global leaders, focusing on the organisational change required for digital transformation. Full-time researchers from both IMD and Cisco draw from diverse backgrounds to drive our thought leadership strategy.” IMD Alumni Melbourne look forward to future events mutually linked with Graduate House. vvv

Connecting Care Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Program

Life Member, Ms Elspeth Fink-Jensen’s passion for this program Have you ever sat in front of a clinician and recounted your current medical situation and your medical history? Then had to repeat the same information for a different clinician? And then again for another? And so on. Frustrated? The Connecting Care Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Program is a digital program to transform patient care and research in the Parkville precinct, among the top five biomedical precincts in the world. Connecting Care’s vision is to create “one world-class EMR, shared with patients, to support the delivery of safe, high quality and seamless healthcare across Parkville and improve health outcomes for all Victorians”. The EMR will store information about patients in one secure location and will enable clinicians to find the information they need to make the best decisions about their patients’ health care, and when and where they need it. It will be easy-to-read and always up-to-date, so that clinicians will always have an accurate picture of the care that patients receive at Melbourne Health (MH), Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre (Peter Mac), The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) and The Royal Women’s Hospital (The Women’s). The program is being undertaken jointly by these four prestigious health services. It will extend the EMR, which was successfully implemented at the RCH in 2016, to the three adult hospitals. The strategic partnership that exists between these and other health

services, research institutes, and The University of Melbourne, enables the Parkville precinct to be a rich clinical and academic environment for excellence in research, education and healthcare. EMRs have been introduced in hospitals around the world and Elspeth Fink-Jensen at Graduate House are proven to reduce medication errors, clinical incidents, hospitalwith a small consulting firm, the acquired infection and the length International Consultants Centre of time patients need to stay in (ICC). Her role there focused on hospital. The Parkville EMR will international remuneration and ensure clinicians have access to the policy development, organisational right information at the right time development such as coaching, to deliver the best and safest possible leadership development, cultural care to patients. Clinicians will no diversity program design and longer need to chase up important delivery. information in paper records or separate clinical systems as patients In recent years, she has greatly move between different departments, enjoyed working in the health sector units, campuses and health services. in organisation development roles at the Women’s and then at Peter Life Member, Ms Elspeth FinkJensen is the Change Manager for the Mac. In these roles, she has been involved in the implementation of Connecting Care EMR Program and people strategy initiatives such as she is passionate about this program. succession planning, building new Elspeth has a BA Hons, French capability frameworks and leadership and History from The University development. of Melbourne; and postgraduate qualifications in change management. In her early career as a Change Management specialist at Accenture, Elspeth managed transformation projects throughout Australia and the UK, focusing on HR system implementations and the associated change management activities. She then moved into global mobility

Elspeth’s current position as Change Manager for the Connecting Care EMR program involves coordinating activity to help staff from each of the health services understand how the EMR will change the way they work and prepare them for this change. Whilst all involved recognise that this change will be positive for patients

Graduate House News / GU Newsletter

and staff, it can still be challenging for staff to learn new processes, new workflows and use new technology. All staff who will use the EMR will undergo training in early 2020, ranging from two hours to two days. Before they have this training, it is important that they are as prepared as possible, by being involved in the project to influence the build of the EMR, so that they know what the change will mean for them. Much of the work of the change team is to help managers prepare their staff and their environment for the EMR, e.g., managers will work with staff to answer questions, to make sure their local procedures are updated, to work out how many super users they will need, and to set up practice areas for their staff to use the equipment before go-live. Elspeth feels fortunate to be in this role as it combines her interest in managing change, which is a longstanding passion of hers, and her recent career experience in the health sector. She has followed the evolution of the EMR project with

interest and had always thought that this would be the most interesting change project to work on, so she was excited when this role was advertised. The breadth of this role is significant, given the scale of the transformation and working with four health service cultures and practices. Fortunately, she is one small part of a very big and capable team, made up of about 150 staff who are mostly clinicians from the four health services.

from outside the health services to supplement this team – hence Elspeth’s conversation with Dr Bennett.

On 8th August, Elspeth met the The Graduate Union CEO/Head of College, Dr Kerry Bennett at Graduate House to learn more about the profile and experience of Members of The Graduate Union and whether they may be interested in the opportunity to be a super user for the EMR program. This is a short engagement of up to four weeks in May to work with a team of more than 1,000 EMR super users needed to help support staff from go-live and for the four weeks following. Super users are typically staff members from the health services, but some super users will be recruited

• be trained early, before other staff, with time to practise;

Super users will provide immediate help to staff in clinical areas throughout the EMR go-live period. They will: • be the go-to person in clinical areas at go-live – answer questions and provide coaching;

• participate in staff training; and • act as a liaison between staff and the Connecting Care EMR team at go-live. In our next Newsletter, we will provide more information about the role of super users and ask for interested Members to help out and join this exciting EMR program which is going live in May 2020. vvv

Carl Giles – Geotechnical Engineer

Further to our story in August on the geotechnical investigations at Graduate House, we profile one of the geotechnical engineers involved. In July, Carl Giles and a team of drillers came to Graduate House. Their purpose was to conduct an investigation to gain an understanding of the ground conditions beneath Graduate House before the commencement of our redevelopment into a multi-storey building. This involved drilling boreholes and recovering soil and rock for logging and testing. Carl also conducted pressuremeter testing and ground permeability testing, to gain information on the likely building settlements and the inflow of groundwater when excavating a basement. From a very young age, Carl had a fascination with construction. He was always playing with trucks or building Lego towers as a child or spending endless hours in the sandpit. Intrigued with construction and with a love of mathematics, Carl chose to study a Bachelor of Engineering (Civil and Infrastructure) at RMIT – eventually finishing with an Honours degree. Civil engineering was an easy choice for Carl to make, and he was glad that he was able to find a degree that suited him so well. During his final year of university, Carl obtained an undergraduate role as a traffic engineer. He soon realised that this career path was not for him. Having completed research units and electives in rock mechanics and geotechnical engineering in his later years at university, he pursued his interest in this field and became a geotechnician in his hometown of Ballarat. In this role, he worked primarily in a laboratory, testing soil for roads, highways and residential

developments. This was a perfect lead-in to becoming a geotechnical engineer. After joining Douglas Partners in Melbourne a few months later, he benefited greatly from the knowledge he had acquired in the soil laboratory. He has now been working as a geotechnical engineer at Douglas Partners for almost three years and loves his job! Carl is most proud of being part of such an amazing team at Douglas Partners. There is a positive, supportive work culture in his office, and with everyone working there feeling pride in the company and brand, good results naturally follow. They work as a team and he has always been made to feel valued. This environment has been a huge part of his development as an engineer. The greatest challenges in his work are when he has to give clients some bad news. This is a particularly challenging aspect of ‘real world’ work which university didn’t prepare him for. Carl has often had to draw on communication

Carl Giles skills developed from his past work as a retail salesman to handle these situations. Communication is a very important skill in engineering and is often overlooked in the tertiary system. In his career, he has had to draw on many of his life experiences and various skills acquired from

different fields to handle many aspects of his work. Carl’s job takes him all around Melbourne. One week it’s working at Graduate House, another week he will be supervising piling rigs drilling for bridge foundations in Melbourne’s west. With so much construction taking place in Melbourne, Carl would love to work on more high-profile infrastructure projects. He has had some amazing

experiences and learnt a great deal from working on projects like the West Gate Tunnel and Metro Tunnel, as well as various level crossing removal projects around Melbourne. It has been a wonderful beginning to his career. His biggest influence on his life was his family. His parents were always unbelievably supportive, never placing any expectations upon him and always encouraging him to do

whatever made him happy. Both his father and mother were raised on the farm and taught him the value of a good work ethic and taking pride in whatever you do. “You need to love what you do. You can garner so much satisfaction and pride from your work if it is aligned with your passion. Be honest with yourself, be diligent, be resourceful, and most of all – enjoy the ride.” vvv

This month's lunch takes time out from current issues to reflect on a tragic event in Australia's history whose significance is not widely understood.

Dr John Basarin OAM: Gallipoli - Genesis of Middle East Issues of Today? Military historians have explored the battle of Gallipoli for decades, reflecting on the tragic loss of life, the improbability of victory for Britain and the Australian/New Zealand soldiers under their command and the tenacity of Turkish troops commanded by that country's future leader. The analysis presented at this lunch discussion takes a different approach, presenting an examination of the famous battle as an explanation of some of the vexed problems confronting the Middle East in this century.

Dr John Basarin OAM is an Australian military historian. Born in Turkey, he has written extensively on Turkish and Australian history, in particular Gallipoli. In 2010 Dr Basarin was awarded the ANZAC Peace Prize in recognition of his sustained commitment to promoting relationships between Australia and other communities around the world. When

Graduate House Friends of Rotary Group The Power of Doing Small Things

Rotary Club of Carlton had another of its most successful sausage sizzles on Saturday, 13th July at Collingwood Burnings, thanks to the incredible effort and fellowship of the team of volunteers who cooked over 500 sausages and 26 packets of diced onions and used 30 loaves of bread, resulting in a sale of more than a thousand dollars to be added to the Club’s funds.

Resident Members Parisa Shiran (far right) and Sobia Masood (second from left) with Rotary members Ms Janet Ferguson and Mr Peter Golden.

Three Graduate House Resident Members offered their assistance at the BBQ and made a significant contribution to the success of the day. One Graduate House Resident volunteers was Miss Parisa Shiran, who is a recent doctoral graduate in literature from The University of Melbourne. Miss Shiran started volunteering for Rotary Club of Carlton in August 2017, and has since encouraged other Graduate House Resident friends to participate in the Club’s activities by volunteering their time for the benefit of the community.

At this BBQ, Miss Shiran introduced Rotary and the Carlton Club to two Resident Members, Ms Sobia Masood and Ms Akriti Sharma. Ms Masood is a PhD student in Criminology at The University of Melbourne and Ms Sharma is doing a Graduate Diploma and Masters in Data Science also at The University of Melbourne. We thank all of our Resident Members who have volunteered their time and expertise to make a difference in the lives of many in our community. vvv

Using light to make memories

There is no better way to build smarter computer chips than to mimic nature’s most perfect computer — the human brain. Scientists have now made an electronic chip that uses light to create and modify memories, moving us closer towards artificial intelligence (AI) that can replicate the human brain’s sophistication. To develop this, they drew inspiration from optogenetics — a technique that involves using light to control cells in living tissue, typically nerve cells (neurons). This area of science allows scientists to delve into the body’s electrical system with incredible precision, using light to manipulate neurons so they can be turned on or off. Neural connections happen in the brain through electrical impulses. When tiny energy spikes reach a certain threshold voltage, the neurons bind together, and you’ve started creating a memory. The new chip aims to do the same thing using electronics. It is based on an ultra-thin material that changes electrical resistance in response to different wavelengths of light. This enables it to mimic the way neurons work to store and delete information in the brain. This means scientists can simulate the brain’s inner workings simply by shining different colours onto the chip. Shining a light onto the chip generates an electric current in the chip’s light-sensitive material. Switching between colours causes the current to reverse direction from positive to negative. The direction switch is equivalent to the binding and breaking of connections between

neurons in the brain, a mechanism that enables neurons to connect (and form new memories) or disconnect (and forget them again). The chip takes us further on the path towards fast, efficient and secure light-based computing. It also brings us an important step closer to creating a bionic brain that can learn from its environment just like we do. Being able to replicate neural behaviour on an electronic chip also offers exciting avenues for research to better understand the brain and how it is affected by disorders that disrupt neural connections, such as Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. While there are still several hurdles to clear before this technology can be commercialised, scientists hope that ultimately this technology could interface with living tissues, giving rise also to bionic devices such as retinal implants or bionic prosthetics.

Should I take vitamin C for my cold? Many of us immediately think about the countless vitamins and supplements on the market that promise to ease symptoms of a cold, help us recover faster and reduce the chances of getting another cold. When it comes to the common cold (also called upper respiratory tract infections) there is no magic cure, but some supplements may deliver very minor improvements. www.graduatehouse.com.au / ABN 55610 664 963 / IARN A0023234B / 33

Feedback / GU Newsletter

Here is what the latest research evidence says. For the average person, taking vitamin C does not reduce the number of colds you get, or the severity of your cold. In terms of how long your cold lasts, some studies have looked at people taking vitamin C every day, while others have focused on participants taking it once they develop a cold. In 30 studies comparing the length of colds in people regularly taking at least 200 milligrams of vitamin C daily, there was a consistent reduction in the duration of common cold symptoms. However, the effect was small and equates to about half a day less in adults, and half to one day less in children. These types of studies also found a very minor reduction in the amount of time needed off work or school. Among studies where vitamin C was only started once a cold had developed, there was no difference in duration or severity of a cold. There are some risks to taking vitamin C supplements. They can increase the risk of kidney stones in men, and should not be taken by people with the iron storage disease haemochromatosis as vitamin C increases iron absorption.

Feedback Dining Room Feedback It's always a joy to come to Graduate House. It's such a special place to celebrate our anniversary. The staff seemed friendlier and more attentive than ever, if that were possible. Bravo! - Andrea Casey Congratulations on Christmas in July month. It was fantastic. A big hand of applause to the kitchen and table staff. - George Markou

Although in the general population vitamin C has no impact on the number of colds people get, there is an exception. For people who are very physically active — such as marathon runners, skiers and soldiers exercising in very cold conditions — vitamin C halved their chances of getting a cold. A few studies have also found that vitamin C supplements of at least 200 milligrams a day helps with preventing colds among those with pneumonia. However, taking vitamin E supplements in combination with a high intake of vitamin C from food markedly increased the risk of pneumonia.
