MEMBERS & THEIR GUESTS ARE WELCOME   The guest speaker of the evening is  Earlson Forbes who will speak on the subject of The Burghers of Ceylon and the White Australia Policy. Mr Forbes will briefly trace the origins and make up of Sri Lanka’s (formerly Ceylon)  Burgher Community and the impact of Australia's post- World War II Immigration policy on the future of these Burghers.  His presentation will be both interesting and thought provoking.    Earlson (Earl) received his tertiary education at the University of Ceylon Peradeniya, from which institution he graduated with a History Honours Degree.  The first decade of his working life was spent at the Department of Inland Revenue, Sri Lanka, where he held various technical positions at staff officer level.    In the mid 1970s he took the then unusual decision of accepting a contract to work in Western Samoa as an Advisory Officer, Department of Inland Revenue.  In time, he rose to the position of Commissioner of Inland Revenue, Western Samoa.  As Head of the Department,  Earl's responsibilities were to administer a range of direct and indirect taxes in that country.  A research paper he authored at the time titled, 'Fiscal Policy and Tax Structures in Western Samoa', was published by the prestigious International Bureau of Fiscal Documentation, Amsterdam.  Earl made a significant contribution to the establishment of The Commonwealth Association of Tax Administrators (CATA), which has its headquarters in London, U K.  At the end of his tour of duty in Western Samoa, Earl moved on to Papua New Guinea where he held the office of Chief Assessor, Papua New Guinea Taxation Office.    In 1986, Earl and his family migrated to Australia as permanent residents. Earl secured a position in The Australian Taxation Office and served out his working life at the ATO.  In the ATO he held various technical positions in the Appeals and Review and GST Advisings Sections. Post-retirement he has turned his mind to writing and research. Two of his compositions have been published in the Ceylon Society’s journal The Ceylankan. Earl's interest has turned to the White Australia Policy and the effect it had on the Ceylonese Burgher community. He will share his findings with fellow members and their guests on the night. After a brief discussion period, the usual Social will follow. Those who are able to are please requested to bring a plate of non-sweet savoury finger-food such as plain cakes, sandwiches and savoury pastries in place of cakes with icing.
