Mark Riley, FairWear Campaign & Education Officer (Victoria) 
Mark is a qualified and experienced primary school teacher, librarian and community worker. His community work has included HIV/AIDS prevention and education work, urban planning and democracy work with the People's Committee for Melbourne, supported housing roles and managing a political party office.
Mark has been working with FairWear since October 2009. He was initially engaged to undertake a project, with FairWear NSW, to identify barriers for schools regarding procurement of school uniforms accredited by Ethical Clothing Australia (formerly No Sweatshop label).
Together with Amity Lynch, FairWear NSW, he co-authored the study, More than a uniform (May 2010).
Since that time he has been working with Boroondara schools to support them in moving to procure uniforms that are ethically made.
The project also involved supporting the schools in asking their suppliers & makers to seek accreditation with Ethical Clothing Australia. It appears that this work has been somewhat successful with an unofficial undertaking by a major Australian uniform company to seek accreditation.

European Masters: Städel Museum, 19th-20th Century brings together a remarkable collection of masterpieces from the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, one of the finest collections in Europe. The NGV is truly privileged to host this exhibition, as the Städel have committed only the highlights of its renowned collection of 19th and 20th century European art. Alongside masterpieces by German artists are works by the greatest French, Belgian, Dutch and Swiss masters of the time.  Included are iconic Neo-Classical, Realist, Impressionist and Symbolist works, through to breathtaking German Expressionist paintings and sculpture, rarely seen in Australia.

A high point is the presence of no fewer than ten works by Max Beckmann, the quintessential Expressionist artist. This is an unprecedented opportunity to see a spectacular array of the finest European art spanning the dynamic and transformative years of the 19th and 20th century.
