Professor Peter Singer ACEthics and the Choice of Career

“Given the number of hours we will spend working, the choice of career is obviously one of the most significant ethical choices we will ever make. Most of us, however, don’t spend a lot of time thinking about this as an ethical choice. I will suggest that we ought to do so, and in particular, that we ought to think about choosing a career

that will make the greatest possible positive difference in the world. Thinking in this way can produce surprising results.”

Peter Singer was born in Melbourne, Australia, in 1946 and received education at the University of Melbourne and the University of Oxford. Since 1999, he has been Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics in the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University. From 2005, he also held the part-time position of Laureate Professor at the University of Melbourne, in the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies.

Peter Singer first became well-known internationally after the publication of Animal Liberation in 1975. Since then he has written, co-authored, edited or co-edited more than 40 other books, including Practical Ethics; The Expanding Circle; How Are We to Live?, Rethinking Life and Death, The Ethics of What We Eat (with Jim Mason) and most recently, The Life You Can Save.

In 2005, Time magazine named Peter Singer one of the 100 most influential people in the world, and in 2012, he was made a Companion of the Order of Australia, the nation’s highest civic honour.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING DINNER

Thursday, 29th May, 2014

7.00pm for 7.30pm

The Hon David Harper AM QC Sentencing and the Courts - Justice, the media

and public opinion

When the public thinks of courts it thinks of criminal justice; or, more precisely, how much more effective the courts could and therefore should be in removing criminals from our streets. The courts also resolve civil disputes. But this function, though important, gets little publicity, and so is rarely in the public mind. The vital role of the courts in maintaining the rule of law comes even less frequently into the general consciousness.

The public perception of the administration of justice bears no relationship to the reality. This is a problem for the courts, and for democracy. The ability of the courts to maintain the rule of law is dependent on the respect of the public they serve. That respect is continually undermined by the populist media, which has its own powerful commercial interest in portraying the administration of the criminal law as ineffectual and not in accord with community expectations. These issues will be explored in the address at the Annual General Meeting (AGM).

The Hon David Harper AM QC was a barrister from 1970 to1992 and was appointed Queen’s Counsel in 1986. From 1990 to 1991, he was also the Chair of the Victorian Bar Council. Mr Harper became a Judge of the Supreme Court of Victoria in March 1992 and maintained his position until June 2013. He also participated in The Court of Appeal from November 2009 until June 2013.

Mr Harper’s other achievments have included becoming President of the Victorian Association for the Care and Resettlement of Offenders (VACRO), Chair of the International Humanitarian Law Committee Victoria, President of the International Commission of Jurists Victorian Branch, Member of the Law Reform Commission Victoria, President, Judicial Conference of Australia and Member, Council of the Australian Institute of International Affairs.

The Hon David Harper AM QC has been a Member of the Order of Australia since 2008 “for service to law reform, the judiciary and in the area of international humanitarian law and to the community through support services for the care and resettlement of offenders and their families.”

As many of you might remember, Mr Harper was also President of The Graduate Union from 1997 to 1999.

The Women’s ForumSome salient points from the Distinguish between “Reliance” and “Alliance”. At what stage (and why) can one become the other ? forum on the 19th March included:

• As the Forum has discovered on other occasions, Dictionary definitions can be interpreted differently and extrapolated from. On this occasion, the word “allegiance” was linked with “alliance”, leading to the view that in times past, people were required to swear allegiance to a

feudal lord and more recently, applicants for citizenship are required to swear allegiance to The Queen and to obey the laws of the land. Again, that has led to the view that, in most cases, allegiance

was virtually obligatory but alliance offered the possibility of choice and/or power play. This is an interesting diversion.

• Reliance is a very subjective and personal perspective and may not always be mutually convenient (e.g. as in the case of someone who relies too heavily on another person or organisation).

• For those who are parents, it is easy to recall how reliant newborns are reliant on the care, protection and nurture of supportive older people. Gradually, as the young mature physically and emotionally,

the relationship may (but not always) shift more to an alliance with the family or social unit to which the young belong.

• Similarly, in an employment, sporting or social setting, newcomers are reliant on the guidance of colleagues, employers and more experienced members of the group but eventually be accepted as part of a mutually co-operative team.

• Alliances usually form for mutual benefit when partners in the alliance each have something of value to bring to the alliance (e.g. families, politics, sporting teams, national and international alliances etc.). There

is usually a choice to opt in or out of such an alliance if one or other individual or party fails to meet the mutually understood or agreed upon terms of the alliance (see first point above). Occasionally alliances

occur because one group or individual needs a more powerful “protector” but that frequently requires some concession by the less powerful party (in some cultures, daughters have been given in

marriage by their fathers to protect property, wealth, bloodlines etc or in exchange for some material benefit).

April Monthly Luncheon ReviewWednesday, 2nd April 2014

University Art Museums: A unique position, a great contribution

Kelly Gellatly, Director of the Ian Potter Museum of Art at The University of Melbourne, began her address at the 2nd April Monthly Luncheon with a brief summary of the history of the art collection of The University of Melbourne and of The Ian Potter Museum of Art.

Kelly explained that the collection had origins from donations, as well

as from acquisitions and commissions beginning in 1881 with the commissioned portrait of Sir Redmund Barry, the first Vice Chancellor of The University of Melbourne. With the significant donations of the 1900s from Dr Samuel Arthur Ewing (1938), Mrs E. Phillips Fox (1939), Samuel Courtauld (1946), the Rupert Bunny Estate (1948), Dr Leonhard Adam (1960), Norman Lindsay (1969), and the Macgeorge

Bequest (1970), the University Art Gallery was formed in 1972 and was housed in the John Medley Building (designed by Roy Grounds), pictured right, during its construction in 1971 at the Grattan Street entrance to the University.

In 1975, it was moved to the Old Physics Building, pictured left, following renovation works by Daryl Jackson. In 1989, the collection was renamed and merged to form The Ian Potter Gallery and Art Conservation Centre and later moved to the former Physics Annexe, pictured below left, which had been refurbished by architect Greg Burgess.

In 1998, the present day Ian Potter Museum of Art, prominently sited on Swanston Street and designed by Nonda Katsilidis, was opened. It is named in honour of Sir Ian Potter in recognition of the great support The Ian Potter Foundation has given over many years.

The Ian Potter Museum of Art is the largest university-based art museum in Australia and a national leader in the field. The Potter houses the University Art Collection

and manages artworks and cultural artefacts. It comprises major holdings of Australian art in all media from the early nineteenth century to the present, as well as holdings of European and international indigenous art, classical pieces and archaeological artefacts. Numbering 20,000 works, these rich resource of art and artifacts spans from neolithic to contemporary. They are a cultural and educational facility, serving both the campus community and the general public.

The following is a summary that provides an introduction to some of the key aspects of the University Art Collection :The Ewing Collection, donated in 1938, was one of the earliest to be given to the University of Melbourne. Dr Samuel Ewing, a leading Melbourne medical professional and former student of the University, collected leading Australian artists of his time, including Rupert Bunny, Louis Buvelot, Nicholas Chevalier, E. Phillips Fox, Bernard Hall, Hans Heysen, Frederick McCubbin, David Davies, Max Meldrum, John Ford Paterson, Arthur Streeton, Walter Withers and Blamire Young. The collection was originally displayed in a specially dedicated Ewing Gallery and at its entrance. Dr Ewing’s mission for his collection was inscribed ‘That our youth may be inspired with the beauty as well as a deeper love of their country by the works of our artists.’

The Rupert Bunny Collection was gifted to the University from the artist’s estate following his death in 1948. The collection consists of fifteen drawing books, sixteen sketchbooks, and many oil and watercolour sketches that researchers continue to study for insight to the artist’s techniques and materials. The sketchbooks also contain preparatory sketches for many of the artist’s key works.

The Sir Russell and Mab Grimwade ‘Miegunyah’ Collection is one of the most significant collections in the University Art Collection. The collection came to the University 1973. Sir Russell Grimwade had a close association with the University, as a student, council member and Deputy Chancellor. The collection forms a fascinating insight to Grimwade and his collecting practices and interests. Colonial to modern Australian art, furniture and decorative arts form the core of the collection and their research, preservation and display continues to be support through of the Miegunyah Bequest.

The Ludwig Hirschfeld Mack Collection was presented to the University in 1971 and 1980 by Hirschfeld Mack’s widow, Olive Hirschfeld. A founding member of the Weimar Bauhaus, and recognised as both an artist and art teacher, Ludwig Hirschfeld Mack introduced Bauhaus methods into Australian art education while producing a substantial body of his own work over three decades.

The Gerard Herbst Poster Collection from Gerard Herbst, a former lecturer and head of Industrial Design at RMIT, over a fifteen year period from the 1970s to the present. It was given to the university by Herbst in 1996. The intention of the gift was to provide young designers, scholars and the general public with the opportunity to learn from the example of excellence in design, and to encourage a continuation of the skills involved in artistic poster creation and visual communication through this particular medium.

The Piranesi effect highlights the many ways in which the strategies and devices used by the eighteenth-century artist and architect are still very much a part of the way artists work today.Giovanni Battista Piranesi’s work has many aspects; it is both Venetian and Roman, Baroque and Neo-Classical, imaginative and scientific. His training as an architect and stage designer meant that he was highly skilled at drawing the viewer in and manipulating our emotional response to his imagery.

Further materials including correspondence, teaching aids, drawings, photographs and slides are also housed at the University of Melbourne Archives. In 2001, the University’s Classics and Archaeology Collection was transferred to the Potter for preservation and display in the Classics Gallery wing which opened in the same year. The collection continues to be one of the most actively accessed collections for tutorials held at the Potter every semester. The Potter is committed to extensive participation in the University’s interdisciplinary degree structure. Their goal is to make art central to teaching and learning, by enhancing art collection access and contributing to curriculum development across all faculties

A few Sundays ago, we were priviledged to have with us, Deborah Cheetham and Toni Lalich from the Short Black Opera Company. With Deborah Cheetham as Soprano, Toni Lalich on the piano and our President Major General Jeffrey Rosenfeld on the clarinet, they performed brilliantly at Graduate House.

Deborah opened the show with ‘Waly Waly’, a traditional folk song originally arranged by Frank Gallagher. The audience were blown away by that performance. Deborah was elegantly dressed, and up on the stage, she brought new life to the concert. If one was to describe the opening act, it would have to be elegant, exquisite and refreshing. ‘Silent Noon’ by Ralph Vaughan Williams was the next piece, the subtle growth of the piece was perfectly executed by Toni Lalich on piano, while Deborah, as expectedly delivered her voice marvellously. The piece was followed by ‘Vilja’ The Merry Widow by Lehar and Songs My Mother Taught Me by Anton Dvorak.

The centrepiece of this concert was perhaps the FantasieStϋcke Opus 73. The first piece began dreamily with hints of melancholy, but concluded with tones of resolution and hope in A major, looking forward to the next movement. The second piece was in A major, and was playful, upbeat, energetic and positive, with a central section modulating to F major with chromatic triplets in dialogue with the piano. The final piece was also in A major. The pace increased until a sudden drive that threw the piece into a frenzy of passion and fiery energy, bordering on the irrational. The movement ended exuberantly to a triumphant close.

Deborah Cheetham, Toni Lalich and Major General Jeffrey Rosenfeld performed “Der Hirt auf dem Felsen (The Shepherd on the Rock) D965 for voice, clarinet and piano. Every note was played with smiling buoyant grace. This piece left the audience wanting more and the performance was extended for another ten minutes to include Biami Creation Story, a piece developed by Deborah Cheetham. The audience were mesmerized and delighted.

An afternoon tea following after the concert provided guests with the opportunity to mingle and meet the wonderful performers. We were lucky indeed to hear Deborah Cheetham, Toni Lalich and Major General Jeffrey Rosenfeld in our intimate Graduate House setting.

Finance Seminar ReviewPreparing to fund aged care

Thursday, 10th April, 2014

Overview of the Australian aged care market: • More than one million older Australians receive some form of aged care and support each year and this is projected to grow to over 3.5 million over the next 40 years. An estimated 1 in 8 Australians (2.87 million people) provide informal care in 2010. • There are over 2,700 aged care facilities across Australia out of which 76% are high care and 24% low care. One third of those facilities are privately owned and the rest are not-for-profit (i.e. charities, religious, community based, local and state governments). • The number of permanent admissions in 2011 and 2012 stood at nearly 120,000 and the average occupancy rate at any one place is 98%. The average new bond is $390,000, and nearly 11% of bonds are over $550,000.

From the statistics above, it is easy to see the importance of seeking early advice in preparing and considering aged care. The level of care required fall into a few categories. Those needing ‘at home assistance’, may consider Home and Community Care packages or Respite care packages where it enables both the carer, and the person being cared for to take a break. Those who are able to care for themselves can choose to move in with family and friends, consider Granny flat arrangements or Retirement villages. Those unable to live at home may consider Residential Aged Care, and then decide on whether low or high level are required.

Advisors can help in the process for moving to aged care by first obtaining ACAS (Aged Care Assessment Services ) approval, finding a suitable home and organising finances. Some major factors when considering options may include reviewing the current position and cash flow, current investments and funding the accommodation bond. This may include the need to look into family home options, whether to sell or keep or invest the sale proceeds. Then comes the need to look into how it may impact age pension and how to strategize towards maximising one’s pension. Advice is also needed in minimising aged care charges and fees, to look into Centrelink matters, review estate planning and tax offsets.

‘Means-tested amount” was introduced recently, and it uses both a resident’s assets and income to determine how much they need to pay for their accommodation (accommodation payment) and their ongoing care (means-tested care fee). The means-tested amount will be calculated by combining an income-tested amount and an asset-tested amount.

Finding a suitable place requires looking into nursing care, visiting facilities and identifying which ones are suitable, whether its 24 hours or day care, and whether some places provide wider choice of meals and other services like hairdressing and gift shops.

Peter advises that early consultation with financial advisor is important because they can provide various options to help achieve their goals.

Healesville Sanctuary Trip

12th April 2014Thank you for your

feedback

A huge and most sincere vote of thanks to all involved in conceiving and organising the excursion to Healesville. Quite apart from providing a great way to showcase Australia’s fauna to the uninitiated, a most enjoyable day was had by all. On behalf of the non-resident (and somewhat older) members who attended, a special thanks to our younger (and more lively) resident travellers for making us feel so welcome and so capably dealing with driving, entry and meeting place arrangements. The geriatrics had a fun day - hope they did too.

University Sector News

Asylum seekers who have been allowed to enter Australian society while they await confirmation on refugee applications are subject to restrictions on work and education. The former is often circumvented by local business who take a conscious and charitable step towards helping others, the latter presents larger issues, especially in regards to tertiary education. Many asylum seekers are educated in their home countries but are unable to continue education in the sometimes indefinite Australian asylum seeking process which makes it difficult to apply for formal tertiary studies. Not all is lost, an initiative by MFU (Melbourne Free University) aims to combat the lack of available tertiary education for asylum seekers.

The course offered by MFU gives those who are unable to access education the opportunity to learn on subjects that interest them. The course offers asylum seekers the chance to improve upon their English and communication skills, all the while participating in a curriculum organised by the dedicated volunteers. The topics are not directly focused on English or ESL (English as a Second Language) development, instead, they address the humanities and political sciences offered in a Bachelor of Arts or Law. Perhaps the most interesting feature of this program is that it presents its attendees with no formal qualification. The people who attend every Wednesday evening are well aware that this is not a formal university education, but still arrive welcome and willing to learn.

I attended one of these lectures as a volunteer in April. Humbled and curious, I listened and watched as a group of people who may have gone through unimaginable strife considered the topic of human rights. Their discussions drifted from which human rights ought to be considered basic, and what rights actually are, to whether Australia should have a right to free speech and posed questions regarding its enforceability. The volunteer lecturers were patient when English wasn’t coming easily to someone, and gave everyone the opportunity to discuss their opinion.

Regardless of your opinion of Australian asylum seekers or asylum seeker policy, it is worth noting the effort these people go to give and receive education. The search for knowledge for the sake of pure education, without physical reward, is a concept that I believe coincides with the ideals of The Graduate Union and our mission to promote lifelong learning.

If you are interested in volunteering, observing or learning more about MFU and their lecture series, go their website : http://melbournefreeuniversity.org/?page_id=3873.

Data Retention, the World and PoliticsIn recent years, the topic of data retention has been a heated one. Concepts of privacy and its role in the ever growing world wide web conflict with governmental control of public information. Australia has recently announced that it may retain user data for up to two years, a decision which conflicts with Europe’s current stance on discontinuing data retention. There are a number benefits for data retention, for example, in criminal cases, stored digital evidence that can link someone to a crime might otherwise be destroyed. The argument that

University Sector News

CorrigendumIn the University Sector News, Newsletter April 2014, page 20, we featured a short story on “A Piece of Pi”. A reader has commented that a number of “alternate” dates for the real Pi Day were suggested. This would cause annual confusion, as one would not know which day is due for a turn. “Alternative “ was meant. Unfortunately this mistaken usage is spreading rapidly. We are in agreement that the numerous suggestions will cause confusion and that it should state alternative Pi Day.

this benefit does not outweigh the risk to privacy might remind you of the debate surrounding surveillance cameras a number of years ago.

But what of politics? In an election the public votes on the person or party they deem most capable of running the country. If all information on the candidates is not provided for the public, you might assume that the public cannot make an informed decision. This raises the question of whether those retaining data ought to release any information that may concern the public, or influence the public’s decision in an election. Does this constitute a breach of privacy?

Australia is currently in the midst of the second inquiry within three years from two successive Commonwealth governments. In 2012 the Labor government’s inquiry into potential reforms of National Security Legislation received 240 submissions and 29 exhibits. Many responses pointed to a significant shortcoming in the 2012 discussion paper’s vague proposal for up to two years of mandatory data retention by internet service providers. Despite the prominence of the need for mandatory data retention in pro-surveillance arguments, the discussion paper’s proposal for data retention managed to be both so short and so broad as to allow egregious overreach.

For more information on data retention go to the following website: http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/why-is-data-retention-an-option-in-australia-after-europe-says-no-20140414-zqup1.html#ixzz2z7C5CO2F

Building Tetris, Literally What was once considered the goal of every MIT (Melbourne Institute of Technology) student has become a realisation. The Green Building, known for its perfect Tetris playing facade, has been turned into a giant game of the popular video game, Tetris. A handful of unnamed students attached multi-coloured LED lights to the windowsills of The Green Building which, upon a signal sent from a command console on the ground, light up an create the famous blocks that make up the game. The game starts off scrolling the words “TETRIS” and then would start into the first level. As the player progressed, the second level would start with more pale colors, making it harder to identify the type of block. The third level involved the colors shifting on-screen.

For those who don’t know, Tetris is one of the first arcade games to come into existence. The player moves and rotates falling blocks to create a pile. When an entire row has been filled, the row is eliminated, allowing the palyer to continue. If the blocks reach the top of the screen, the game is over.

The lucky feedback-giver for April is Olive Hamilton who won a bottle of Rococo, Blanc de Blancs, Yarra Valley.

Thank you for your feedbackBooking a function venue was straight forward. We made a preliminary visit to ensure the room would suit our requirements. Staff were accommodating in showing us around. We had a double room, which was perfect for our needs. There was plenty of room for people to move around. The food was all good - variety and quantity wise. The staff were very helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them. This is particularly helpful as the organiser of an event when you don't have to feel like you are putting staff 'out' when asking for something. Thank you to all staff.

Wayne Condick, Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority

I wanted to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to Rosie and staff for all the assistance with the final workshop and graduation ceremony, particularly at such short notice. The graduation ceremony was a huge success, please extend my thanks to Bill and the staff. The service was outstanding and the food was amazing and delicious ! Yummm….. Our participants were delighted and commented with great feedback. My sincere thanks again, Rosie, Bill and staff. We look forward to many more events and successes.

Licia Carbone, Australian School of Applied Management

It was very easy and smooth sailing in organising my event at Graduate House, the function venue suited our needs, the food was good and the staff were extremely helpful.

Manorani Guy, ISANA Victoria

We have a specific contact who runs us through the organising process so it was easy with our function. The room was perfect to our needs, the food was amazing, plenty of compliments from our attendees. Rosie and Bill are always helpful and extremely professional. Graduate House offers everything we need for our events at a cost that not for profits can afford so keep doing what you are doing and we will keep coming back.

The Graduate Union College Alumni (GUCA) want to get in touch with past residents. If you, or anyone you know, has ever stayed at Graduate House since 1962 – whether it was for one night or for three years; whether it was you, your parent or grandparent, or their friends, please contact us by phone or email, or send us a letter so that we can add you and them to our year lists and keep in touch.Let us know:

• who you are;• where you are in the world;• what you are doing now;• how you came to be doing this;• when you stayed here; and• your memories of Graduate House.

After fifty years as a membership Association, The Graduate Union became also a residential college in the early 1960s providing initially for seven residents and increasing to 24 rooms three years later. By 1971, there were 54 rooms in the William Berry Wing. With the addition of three storeys of accommodation in the main building (2005) and ten apartments in the Stella Langford Wing (2010), in 2014, we have 114 rooms and about 600 different residents residing here each year. As you can imagine, we thus have a large task ahead of us in tracking down all of our 10,000-15,000 residential college alumni!
