Why isn't anyone asking how the police are being given so much power over citizens. These designated areas allow them to stop and search people without a reason. Since when has this been acceptable? So they can choose an area and if you are in it you are guilty?

The Wyndham Smart City Strategy was adopted in June 2019.

The Smart City implementation plan uses the following relevant strategies:
https://www.wyndham.vic.gov.au/.../Wyndham%20Smart%20City...

KEY SUPPORT DOCUMENTS

The Smart City Implementation Plan was underpinned by the Wyndham 2040 Community Plan and a number of strategies, plans and policies that inform key city services.
The relevant strategies include:
• Wyndham 2040
• Wyndham City Plan 2017-2021
• Accessibility Action Plan
• Customer Experience Strategy 2017-2021
• Environment & Sustainability Strategy 2016-2040
• Greenhouse Action Plan 2018 - 2021
• Integrated Transport Strategy
• Learning Community Strategy 2018 - 2023
• Library Service Strategy 2018 - 2040
• Wyndham Open Space Strategy 2045
• Wyndham Play Space Strategy 2030
• Wyndham Sports Strategy 2045

Projects:
Parking cameras
Drones
New street lights
Solar panels
Waste Collection Data
Smart traffic lights
Use public wi-fi data
Use of sensors to monitor
Safer Wyndham Initiative - Use technology and innovations including video analytics, computer vision and artificial intelligence to identify and improve the safety for city inhabitants through using CCTV, automated incident detection and by working with key partners.

It is very interesting that they are starting with monitoring, surveillance and data collection before any of the other important items to be addressed. You know like housing, health services and the things they should focus on like rates, roads and rubbish collection.

Wyndham is in the third year of smart city implementation and is reaching the crucial ‘embedding’ phase of organisational integration.

This phase will further build smart city capacity across the organisation and the city and focus on:
 Smart enablement of the extensive capital program.
 Seeking opportunities to maximise value from existing technology deployments.
 Building organisational data literacy and a data driven ideology to decision making.
 Development of tools, maps and 3D visualisations for the communication and accessibility of smart city data and systems.

Very wordy policies to read through. Let me know if you have any questions I can research for you.

IS this Act being used to enforce a course of action that was not foreseeable when this bill was introduced. See below.

https://www.legislation.vic.gov.au/in-force/acts/change-or-suppression-conversion-practices-prohibition-act-2021/002

Change or Suppression (Conversion) Practices Prohibition Act 2021

Look at the Victorian Education website below:

Parental consent

There may be circumstances in which students wish or need to undertake gender transition without the consent of their parent/s (or carer/s), and/or without consulting medical practitioners. WHAT???

If no agreement can be reached between the student and the parent/s regarding the student’s gender identity, or if the parent/s will not consent to the contents of a student support plan, it will be necessary for the school to consider whether the student is a mature minor.

If a student is considered a mature minor they can make decisions for themselves without parental consent and should be affirmed in their gender identity at school without a family representative/carer participating in formulating the school management plan.

Department policy addresses situations in which students, though under the age of 18 years, may be sufficiently mature to make their own decisions, (refer to Mature Minors and Decision Making).

SO...

If a parent does not automatically affirm a child's stance, they will be removed from the decision making process.

https://www.vic.gov.au/safe-schools

In 2010, the Victorian Government established Safe Schools to ensure schools are safe places for all students, including le***an, gay, bisexual, trans and gender diverse, intersex, q***r and questioning (LGBTIQ+) students, and are free of discrimination.

It was born out of the need identified by school communities, parents and teachers for greater support for LGBTIQ+ students, who are at higher risks of bullying and su***de and to ensure that schools create safe and inclusive environments.

A key part of the program is to provide professional development and training for secondary school teachers so that they are equipped to support LGBTIQ+ students.

The Safe Schools program is managed and delivered directly by the Department of Education and Training.

Myth: The Safe Schools program encourages students to question or change their gender or sexuality.
Fact: Nothing about the Safe Schools program encourages students to question or change their gender or sexuality.

This is not a real fact.

Introducing concepts to students who are already confused and questioning their existence is a way to encourage students to be something they may not be. Students should be free to discover and reject these new ideas. This program does not allow this to happen. The school affirms only one course of action. Even going so far as to exclude parents from the decision making process. Allowing minors to make life altering decisions that are not reversible. How far will the State let this go? Parental rights are being undermined.

Victorian Health Sharing Legislation Amendment

The Andrews government has returned a bill to parliament unamended that was withdrawn in the previous term after coming under serious fire for a number of reasons.

Foremost among those reasons is the lack of an opt out provision similar to that found in federal medical information database legislation. This lack of respect for patient autonomy, coupled with the fact that patients would be prevented from learning who was accessing their information and for what purpose due to an exemption for FOI requests for the database, has led to David Limbrick proposing an amendment to the Bill.

In support of this amendment, David is sponsoring an e-petition calling for the legislation to be amended. Under Victorian parliamentary standing orders, if an e-petition reaches 10,000 signatures it must be tabled for debate/consideration in parliament, as well as get a reply from the Minister.

This threshold has never been reached since the e-petition mechanism was introduced in Vic, and after the petition went live around 5pm yesterday it is already over half way there. You must be a Victorian with a Vic address to sign, but if you haven't yet signed the petition please do so and share it as widely as you can while encouraging others to do the same!

The Parliament of Victoria is the bicameral legislature of the Australian state of Victoria that follows a Westminster-derived parliamentary system. It consists of the Queen, represented by the Governor of Victoria, the Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council.

15/02/2023

The LIV is calling on the government to amend the Health Legislation Amendment (Information Sharing) Bill to allow for patients to opt out and to give patients FOI access so they can know who has accessed their information under the scheme.

We should not have to be fighting for privacy.

No this is not a conspiracy theory. It is happening right now. Apparently we are being told that we the people have asked for this.
