Pedestrian Council of Australia
The Pedestrian Council of Australia Limited is an Incorporated (Public) Company, limited by guarantee. It is a non-profit organisation whose objectives, as stated in its Memorandum of Association are:
1. the continual improvement of pedestrian safety, amenity and access;
2. the promotion of walking as a legitimate transport mode and an important, healthy, social activity;
3. the encouragement of the inclusion of pedestrian safety, amenity and access provisions in all urban and transport planning;
4. the enhancement of community health and welfare and particularly the enhancement of the health and welfare of those members of the community who are aged, infirm, disabled, young, socially disadvantaged, tourists or included in any other special interest group or group of persons under any kind of handicap or disability; and
5. research (including experiments and surveys and their publication) into all aspects of the objects set out in 1, 2, 3 and 4.
A Pedestrian is defined as any person wishing to travel by foot, wheelchair or authorised electric scooter, throughout the community.
Membership of the Pedestrian Council of Australia Limited is by invitation of the Board of Directors to individuals and institutions having interests or concerns of like nature to those of the PCA.
The PCA's role is essentially one of education, advocacy and the promotion of a culture of concern and care within the whole community for the rights and responsibilities of pedestrians. Provision and infrastructure to meet the expectations of such a concerned community is properly the responsibility of the land use, transport and road authorities.
Ausflag Ltd
Ausflag Ltd is an apolitical, non-profit organisation seeking to promote high quality debate about Australia's national symbols.
Ausflag was established in 1981 by Harold Scruby and other interested Australians supporting the idea of a new flag for Australia. Ausflag became incorporated as a non-profit organisation in January 1983. Ausflag's objectives since its inception have been to secure the popular support of the Australian people for the adoption of an Australian flag, anthem, and colours.
On 19 April 1984, a proclamation by the Governor-General of Australia, Sir Ninian Stephen, saw "Advance Australia Fair" replace "God Save The Queen" as Australia's national anthem. The same Vice-Regal proclamation adopted Green and Gold as Australia's national colours. Until that time, the unofficial colours had been Blue and Gold; these colours remain in the Commonwealth Coat of Arms.
Ausflag's remaining objective, with the popular support of the Australian people, is:
The adoption of a truly Australian flag, a flag which clearly and unequivocally proclaims our identity to other nations, a flag which is internationally recognisable and not confusing to other nations, and a flag which unites the Australian nation in all its diversity.
