Corruption hijacks our political processes; The biggest failure of our society is to identify and implement meaningful Corruption hurts the most vulnerable people; actions to address the problem. The CAA has recommended a new and innovative strategy of addressing Corruption causes that Government services are corruption, namely the establishment of the Victorian Truth and Integrity poorly delivered; Commission chaired by a Supreme Court Judge equivalent from another jurisdiction. This would ensure citizens’ confidence that their corruption Corruption feeds commercial greed; Integrity Commissioner is truly independent of Government. The Commission would report its findings on an annual basis to the Parliament The CAA encourages Victorians to read the far reaching or at some other time if the Commissioner determines that the Parliament Victoria’s Anti-Corruption War paper which is readily available at should be advised on urgent matters. https://caainc.org.au/library The primary function of the independently sourced Commission would be to effectively reduce corruption in Victoria.

When heavy rain fill all the reservoirs, paddy fields, low fields are Engineers should ever be regarded as the most top supremo…! reclaimed with watery grave 4. All the machineries ranging from big to small Lakes, rivers, tanks, villages and cities tend to be inundated with flood From a nail to tunnel excavation, not that all water at it is so brave They tirelessly facilitate us to never fall Without them we still like pre-historic ‘Neanderthals’…! How much worth crops are being destroyed around the world at its mercy which is to be saved 5. Hanging and suspension bridges, lengthy tunnels are awesome Water tanks, reservoirs, rivers and watery drainage systems Irrigation engineers do the job to avoid or mitigate the dire Mono-rail, parachutes, air-balloons, salvage systems and atom consequences imposed by such wave Bombs, missiles, guns, fighter-jets are not but very fearsome…! 12. Computer and network engineering gives breathing space to the human 6. Chemical engineering, genetic engineering, civil, mechanical minimizing enormous time and electronic Banking, finance, economical resources and every other segment Electric, aeronautical, telecommunication, marine, software depending on this tone prime and supersonic Well-designed and assembled electrical circuits or otherwise work out Jets and automobile, locomotive, naval architecture, power engineering to give without the rhyme and robotic Aero-space engineering field is said to have been developed into Genetically engineering in the field of botany as to enhance the invention of the planetary shine…! harvest melioristic…! 13. Economical aspects, concepts, fundamentals are clearly studied and 7. Bacteria, viruses, germs, fungi, micro organisms and so on are emerging properly visualized automatically Reporting and forecasting is done appropriately upon it for They strive hard to disseminate and thus to kill all the living beings day progressiveness to tantalize by day invariably Financial engineering gauges to manage all the relevant criteria which Microscopic instruments have been produced to track and kill them is to be materialized timely & precisely There is no single trait in the field of engineering which is ever The engineers replace the complexity of an utterly complex world with to be marginalized…! simplicity surely...! 14. Understanding the dynamics of physics better than the rest In turn, they apply it to all of scenarios to result the best When the engineers are there, no one does feel as the guests Their duty of care and resourcefulness are brilliant and so great…! 8. There are unfriendly infects, insects and natural disasters to sabotage For all your advertising human existence please email to Engineers create sophisticated mechanisms, systems and methods thru their perseverance [email protected] Those processes are well-designed containing vivid and powerful PAwHwAwN.Apahmanya.kcom.au chemical solutions They make irrigation systems and genetically modified crops to be among top creations...! 9. Astronauts travel in the space to investigate the existence of an array of celestial beings Satellites are crafted to spot and track the movements and functions of terrestrial means Telescope was thus invented and modified to observe and monitor the planetary scenes Genetic engineering could assert that everything emerges thru a respective gene…! 44 MAY 2022 PAHANA - LIGHT & LIFE The first Sri Lankan community newspaper with SINHALA | ENGLISH | TAMIL

www.pahana.com.au Media Release PAwHwAwN.Apahmanya.kcom.au HOW TO VOTE in 12 Languages Empowerment through education is the mission of this federal election project Yolanda Vega, Senate Candidate for the Reason Party, has produced a video to educate communities about how to vote above and below the line for the May 21 federal election. ‘The Power of the Senate’ was created in English and translated into 12 different languages: Arabic, Cantonese, German, Greek, Hindi, Italian, Mandarin, Punjabi, Sinhala, Spanish, Telugu and Vietnamese. The one minute video includes an explanation of the most powerful chamber of our democracy, the 12 senators that represent Victorians and how they stay in power for six years. “As a migrant, I understand that not everyone has had the same opportunities that I have had,” says Vega. “As an educator I am determined to help people understand how our democratic system works, so that they can make an informed choice.” Keenly motivated by human rights, protecting children from abuse, and removing political, professional, and cultural barriers for women and migrants, Vega is running for a senate seat to represent all Victorians. “Information is power, every citizen needs to understand their vote counts,” says Vega.
