This document makes the case for relocating the Royal Australian Navy Fleet Base East from Garden Island in Sydney to the Port of Port Kembla in the Illawarra region. It argues that Port Kembla offers significant advantages over Garden Island such as more space for maintenance and growth, improved security due to lower population density, and access to affordable housing and skilled labor pools. The region is well-located near existing Navy facilities at Jervis Bay and has infrastructure and educational institutions that could support an expanded naval presence. Relocating Fleet Base East to Port Kembla represents an opportunity for economic development in the Illawarra while freeing up the valuable Garden Island lands for other uses.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

Monitoring Health for the SDGs - Global Health Statistics 2024 - WHOChristina Parmionova
The 2024 World Health Statistics edition reviews more than 50 health-related indicators from the Sustainable Development Goals and WHO’s Thirteenth General Programme of Work.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

28. What to do once you identify a
suitable grant
RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS JULY 2015

34. Are you an eligible applicant?
RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS JULY 2015
• One of the most obvious but important questions
to ask before considering making an application
• Seen many cases where both application and
project strong and worthy BUT ‘disqualified’
before key internal personnel got chance to read
about it
• Ie Worth taking the time to clarify with funding
body!
35. NSRF Eligibility - recap

Proposals
RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS JULY 2015
42. Lets talk about Funding
Proposals
RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS JULY 2015
1. Basic Housekeeping first:
– Know the deadline and PLAN your submission!
– Get your team involved early (particularly anyone
who will be involved in implementation)
– Complete the application in its entirety (may seem
obvious but evidence shows otherwise)
– No gaping holes (ie just because you don’t like
numbers doesn’t mean you leave out the budget!)
– MANDATORY means precisely that
– Apply an ‘Evidenced Based Mantra’
43. Some ‘must-tick’ boxes for
success
RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS JULY 2015
1. Showing experience in the area that the grant
covers
2. Link this back to the grant’s objectives
3. Demonstrate your capabilities including
resources and staff and your methodologies
4. Show that you are already part of the
community in which the funds from the grant
(show you understand the issues)
44. Questions to ask of yourself
RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS JULY 2015
1. Am I writing more about my project or my
organisation? (very important)
2. Am I being specific about the features of my
project and the outcomes my project will
generate?
3. Am I answering each question completely?
(treat it like a uni assignment and break it into
chunks)
45. Importance of evidence
RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS JULY 2015
1. Spoke briefly about evidence earlier
2. Some examples of evidence?
Economic data (such as employment,
unemployment, population, LGA characteristics)
Qualitative/Quantitative research (internal or
external)
Statistics/data to back up your project objectives
Academic evidence/published credible sources that
reinforce the value of your project
46. ‘Economic benefit’ of your
project – NSRF example
RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS JULY 2015
“Economic benefit relates to those benefits generated by
new or improved infrastructure, and can be described in
terms of the ability to generate additional income through
more efficient use of resources and improved trade
opportunities” (NSRF Guidelines pg13)
47. REMPLAN online tool

Sites such as www.tra.gov.au can be useful
52. Project Budget considerations
RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS JULY 2015
• Requirements can vary dependent on
submission size and complexity
• Important to clearly outline the amount of
funding requested for each activity (ie salaries,
travel, construction, rent, insurances,
equipment, labour, technology etc)
• Don’t forget about matching funds if applicable
• MOST IMPORTANT – cross‐check all project
expenditure against the ELIGIBLE COSTS listing
in the program guidelines!
55. ‘Collaboration’ – what does it
mean and how can you use it to
enhance your proposal?
RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS JULY 2015
56. “the action of working with
someone to produce something”
RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS JULY 2015
Oxford dictionary
57. The purpose of the program is to foster collaboration between
industry partners toward delivering a compelling, new-to-market
solution. This consortia model of Lead Company, Pilot
Organisation, and Partner is specifically designed to build
relationships that deliver a solution with a strong opportunity for
commercial success.

Program example –

58. ‘Policy’ vs ‘Politics’
RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS JULY 2015
Two quite different but interrelated factors that can have a huge impact
on your funding proposal – and both out of the control of the applicant
62. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS JULY 2015
Accelerating Commercialisation
63. Wise words..
RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS JULY 2015
“It’s important to view grants from a business
perspective. If you think about it in terms of helping
to solve a problem for government, that will
change the way you apply for funding”
Extract from Company Director article June 2015
