Retired Magistrate, Ex-Commissioner for
Aboriginal Planning; Ex-Commissioner for ATSIC

image

Dr. Sue Gordon, AM, is a retired indigenous Australian magistrate from Western Australia.

Born at Belele Station, near Meekatharra, WA in 1944, she was separated from her mother and family at the age of four and raised at Sister Kate’s home in WA. After leaving school, she joined the army as a full-time soldier and between 1961 and 1964 was a full-time member of the Women’s Royal Australian Army Corps (WRAAC) based mostly in the eastern states.

Following her army career she worked in various administrative positions around Australia and, in the early 1970s, started a long association with the Pilbara region, working mostly in Aboriginal Affairs with both urban and traditional people. She was awarded the National Aboriginal Overseas Study Award to study employment programs with a number of American Indian communities in the US in 1977.

As a result of her work with Aboriginal people and community affairs, she received the Order of Australia in 1993.

She was appointed as Commissioner for Aboriginal Planning in 1986, becoming the first Aboriginal person to head a government department in Western Australia, and in 1988 was appointed as a magistrate in the Perth Children’s Court, at which time she was the first full-time and first Aboriginal magistrate in the state's history.

In 1990, she was appointed as one of the first five commissioners of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC), for one year.

In 2002, she was appointed to head an inquiry into family violence and child abuse in Western Australian Aboriginal communities by the Premier of WA, Geoff Gallop. The inquiry was known as the "Gordon Inquiry" and resulted in the closure of the controversial Swan Valley Noongar Camp.

In 2004, Senator Amanda Vanstone, Minister for Indigenous Affairs, appointed her as head of the new National Indigenous Council, an advisory body to the Federal Government, following the winding down of ATSIC. Following her appointment, she was interviewed and asked for her views on the Stolen Generation, and whether she would seek an apology from Prime Minster John Howard, to which she replied:

"No. I personally didn't want an apology because it should have gone to my mother. But my mother's passed away now, so it's too late. And what's an apology going to achieve now?"

Other awards include the 'Aboriginal Development Commission Australia Day Council Award' in 1986, the 'Paul Harris Fellow' from the Rotary Club of Perth in 1994 and, in 2003, the 'Centenary Medal' for service to the community, particularly the Aboriginal community.

Sim, Jack
Founder
World Toilet Organisation

Jack Sim, Founder of World Toilet Organization (WTO), believes in living according to the motto "Live A Useful Life".  Not having a university degree did not stop Jack from starting his own business at age 24.  After seeing the futility of focusing only on financial gain, he left his business and ventured into non-profit work.  He has dedicated his remaining years towards humanitarian causes that can give real meaning to his life.  

Jack developed a keen interest and concern for toilets because he felt this subject was neglected and there was too much to be done, which led him to establish the Restroom Association of Singapore (RAS) in 1998.  He adopted the mission to raise the standards of public toilets in Singapore and around the world.  Since the inception of RAS, Jack aimed to put Singapore on the "world map" by taking the lead in having clean public toilets.  As Jack began his work in Singapore, he realized there were other existing toilet associations doing good work in other countries but no channels existed to facilitate information sharing and resource mobilization.  There was lack of synergy.  Hence, with a dream to have a world body to unite various toilet associations, Jack founded the World Toilet Organization (WTO) in 2001 and the World Toilet College (WTC) in 2005. 

In 2004, Jack was awarded the Singapore Green Plan Award 2012 by Singapore's National Environment Agency (NEA) for his contribution to Environment.  In 2006, Jack Sim was invited to launch The German Toilet Organisation in Berlin.  He is also a founding member of The American Restroom Association.  In 2007, Jack became one of the key members to convene the Sustainable Sanitation Alliance (SuSanA) comprised of about 50 organizations active in the field of sanitation.  Jack is also an Ashoka Global Fellow and was named by Time Magazine as Hero of the Environment 2008.  He sits in the World Economic Forum's Global Agenda Councils (GAC) for Water Security and also the GAC for Social Entrepreneurship.

In 2009, he will join the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy as a master student in Public Administration as well as a visiting fellow at its Institution of Water Policy.

Ferguson, Jan
Managing Director
Desert Knowledge CRC

The deserts are of profound significance to every Australian for what they teach us about our continent - and ourselves, says Jan Ferguson.

Jan grew up in the desert, at Beltana in SA, and today works unremittingly in her role as Managing Director of the Desert Knowledge CRC (DKCRC) for the recognition of the importance of both the desert landscape itself and its people to our national wellbeing – economical, social and spiritual.

After working for fifteen years as a senior officer and executive director with the South Australian Government, where she was recognised with the award as Telstra Businesswoman of the Year, Jan admits the call of the deserts and their people and industries was too strong. In 2005 she took up the leadership role of Desert Knowledge CRC, which she is now preparing for a second incarnation aimed at the renewal of desert communities.

The aim of DKCRC is to help develop dynamic and resilient communities capable of fulfilling the vast potential of our desert regions, and of leading Australians into a new intimacy and understanding with their country as well as a new era of prosperity.  DKCRC’s mission, Jan says, is to change forever the way Australia sees its deserts, to open the nation’s eyes to their true value and place in our future.
