</font><div dir="ltr">Dear colleagues, <br clear="none">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Coming to you from Leichhardt, an inner west suburb of Sydney.<br clear="none">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">My technical skills are poor. <br clear="none">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">However, we send over to you our colleagues and dear friends, these few photos of a great occasion in our family. <br clear="none">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Photo one : Rebecca, Pete, me and grandson Thomas Bishop. <br clear="none">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Photo two: Jim his sister Sheila, our daughter Cathy, and a great niece, Nicky. <br clear="none">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Photo three: similar to two, including Pete. <br clear="none">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">In Jim’s speech he focussed on the positive changes he has witnessed during his lifetime. <br clear="none">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">1. The role of women- as a Science student at University in the very early 50’s, there were no women studying Physics, how that has changed- with women now in every field of science. <br clear="none">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">2. Multiculturalism. Australia is a country thoroughly multicultural, and what a gift other cultures coming here have been - especially after WW2, and the Vietnam and Afghanistan Wars. We are no longer ‘white ‘ thankfully. Ditto embodied in every sphere of civil society. <br clear="none">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">3. The affirmation of gender diversity- the Marriage Equality Act has radically changed and enabled gender diversity to be embraced. World Pride will be held in Sydney in Feb ‘23.<br clear="none">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">4. Our First Nations are now preparing for a Voice to Parliament. A long way still for their justice through health, housing, education and justice in the courts . However a sense of ‘no turning back ‘ is accepted in our community. Our First Nations share their culture and have made us wake up to their gifts and we have started to listen ( at last, though much further for us to travel….) <br clear="none">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Those are Jim’s thoughts. <br clear="none">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Another issue where positive change has occurred is in the acknowledgement for the need to remove the stigma surrounding mental health. <br clear="none">
