@ABCthedrum The Immigration Department had a similar scheme, called the Community Refugee Settlement Scheme (CRSS) over 40 years ago, focusing especially at that time on Indochinese and Eastern European refugees.

@ABCthedrum The Australian Immigration Department had a similar Community Refugee Settlement Scheme (CRSS) involving local community groups assisting refugees over 40 years ago. The focus then was mainly assisting Indochinese and Eastern European refugees.

More than 70 percent of recommendations were overturned by the Minister in the latest round, not just a few. For this to happen, the government must have been incompetent in approving the selection guidelines used by the public servants or else completely lacking in integrity.

Ministers know better than public servants, says PM. https://t.co/q1gri5WKHy

[Marea Fatseas @MareaFatseas]

The argument about the funded projects being ‘Eligible’ is garbage. Demonstrating eligibility and compliance is the beginning of the assessment process, followed by assessment against the selection criteria set out in guidelines. It’s a rort and the Minister should resign.

Unbelievable!! It’s just a convenient argument to say it’s not the right time when an “inconvenient truth” is involved.

Just 25% of us trust people in government.

There was no swimming pool when five-year-old Merv Knowles moved to Canberra in 1928. Three years later, Manuka Pool officially opened and he was one of the first to dive in.

Critical to successful leadership is a great team and supportive community, and they exist in spades in the Committee of the Yarralumla Residents Association @YRA_ACT, and the #Yarralumla community.

Thanks @IanRBushnell @The_RiotACT for letting people know about ISCCC online survey. Stay tuned for preliminary results, but we hope many more inner south residents will complete it at https://t.co/WQzmPOuVVt

[Region Canberra @RegionCanberra]

Inner south residents can ensure their local community council represents their views by answering an online survey covering a range of planning, development and transport issues. The answers will help form the ISCC's action plan for next year https://t.co/PwKOrznXz2

Interesting to hear UC’s Dr Ro McFarlane say London has been declared a national park. Maxine Cooper asks whether Canberra could be declared a biosphere, with nature conservation occurring as part of development? #CURF conference @curf_uc

[Canberra Times @canberratimes]

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has described climate change as an "existential threat" for Pacific nations. @katie_b_burgess has the report. (Subscriber only)

A new Chinese-built electric bus has joined the Transport Canberra fleet as part of a 12-month trial that will assist the ACT's transition to zero-emissions public transport https://t.co/80SRVXFODW

[Marea Fatseas @MareaFatseas]

It’s unacceptable for our federal political leaders to fail in one of their most fundamental responsibilities - to mitigate and manage risk. They are failing to mitigate and manage risk arising from climate change.

[Anthony Pesec @anthonypesec]

A coalition of former fire chiefs have said the government “fundamentally doesn’t like talking about climate change” and that politics is the reason the government was ignoring their advice.
