Page 3 Session two: The Global State of Play Panel Topic 1: The Economic and Political Climate Macro level current topics on disruption on a political and economic macro level that are happening globally. This will then lead into the second Panel to talk about the repercussions of this in the beef industry on a global and domestic level. Facilitator: Paul Barry Panelists: 1. Andrew Robb 2. Hamish Macdonald 3. Peter Fitzsimons 4. Neer Korn PAUL BARRY - FACILITATOR Some journalists might see upsetting the Packers and Murdochs as career suicide, but Paul Barry has built his highly successful and respected career out of doing just that. It’s not that he deliberately sets out with an agenda to make himself unpopular with business moguls, but the award-winning reporter and bestselling author’s hard hitting reports are renowned for taking no prisoners and brooking no favours. Paul studied Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Oxford University. In 1973 he graduated with First Class Honours. Soon afterwards, he began his journalistic career in Lon- don as economics correspondent for the Investors Chron- icle. Born in England, Paul has lived in Australia since 1986 and is now one of the country’s most respected journalists. His films for the ABC’s Four Corners in the early 1990s won him every major TV award in Australia. One of the hardest hitting of Bar- ry’s reports was on multi-millionaire Alan Bond. This led to his first best seller, The Rise and Fall of Alan Bond. Since then his books have dominat- ed the best seller lists. His second book, The Rise and Rise of Kerry Packer, was the top selling biography of the 1990s. He followed up with Going for Broke, the story of how Alan Bond hid his fortune, and then revealed how the Packers and Murdochs lost $950 million in One. Tel in Rich Kids. His latest book is a biography of James Packer titled Who Wants to be a Billionaire? Paul Barry’s experiences and observations provide an interesting take on the media and a somewhat colourful view of ‘corporate crooks’. He recently launched thepowerindex.com.au, a website that explores who really runs Australia. Page 4 ANDREW ROBB - PANELIST Until his recent retirement from politics, Andrew Robb was Australia’s Minister for Trade and Invest- ment. In this role Mr Robb negotiated Free Trade Agreements with South Korea, Japan and China, as well as the 12 country Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade agreement and the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with Singapore. Additionally he conducted 85 investment roundtables with 28 countries. Mr Robb is currently a Board Member of the Kidman cattle enterprise, Chair of Asialink, Asialink Busi- ness and CNSDose, and strategic advisor to Beef Innovations Australia, as well as a range of national and international businesses. His agricultural experience began as an animal health officer, with major involvement in the successful brucellosis and TB evaluation program in Australia’s beef herd. Subsequently, as an agricultural economist, Mr Robb worked on public policy issues across a wide range of agricultural industries. He then was appointed the Executive Director (CEO) of the Cattle Council of Australia, before his appointment as Executive Director (CEO) of Aus- tralia’s peak farmer organisation, the National Farmers’ Federation. Mr Robb stood for Parliament in 2004 and was elected to the Federal Seat of Goldstein until his move back into the private sector at the time of the recent 2016 election. As a Member of Parliament, he held positions as Chairman of the Government’s Workplace Relations Taskforce, Assistant Minister to the Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs and then Minister for Vocational and Further Education. In Opposition, he held positions as Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure and Climate Change, Chairman of the Coalition Policy Development Commit- tee and Shadow Minister for Finance, Deregulation and Debt Reduction. Following the Coalition victory at the 2013 election, Mr Robb was appointed to the Cabinet as Minister for Trade and Investment. In 2003, Mr Robb was awarded the office of the Order of Australia (AO) for his service to agriculture, politics and the community. As well, Mr Robb is the author of “Black Dog Daze: Public Life, Private Demons” (Melbourne University Publishing). Page 5 HAMISH MACDONALD - PANELIST See page 3 for bio. PETER FITZSIMONS - PANELIST Peter Fitzsimons is a rugby star, best-selling author, well respected columnist for the Sydney Morning Herald and Sun-Herald and a television presenter on Fox Sports. He speaks four languages, has played rugby for Australia, co-hosted radio shows with Mike Carlton and Doug Mulray, interviewed famous people around the globe from George Bush to Diego Maradona and written over twenty best-selling books including Batavia, Tobruk, Kokoda, A Simpler Time, Little Theories of Life and biographies on Douglas Mawson, Nancy Wake, Nene King, Les Darcy, Steve Waugh, Nick Farr-Jones, Kim Beazley, John Eales and Charles Kingsford Smith. In 2001 he was Australia’s biggest selling non-fiction author, duplicating that feat in 2004 with Kokoda. One of the ten most popular after-dinner speakers in Australia, he is married to Today Show co-host Lisa Wilkinson and they have three children. Born on a farm in Peat’s Ridge, Peter went to Knox Grammar School, before accepting an American Field Service Scholarship to go to Ohio for a year. He returned to complete an Arts degree at Sydney University majoring in government and political science. In 1984 he broke into the Wallabies under the coaching of Alan Jones, then lived in France and Italy playing rugby for the next five years whilst learning both languages as well as Spanish. Upon his return to Australia he again played for the Wallabies, under Bob Dwyer, going on to play seven tests. In 1989 he joined The Sydney Morning Herald full-time and has been one of their most popular columnists since. Andrew Denton has called him “Australia’s finest sports journalist.” Peter Fitzsimons boasts an impressive list of interview credits including ex-president George Bush, Sir Edmund Hillary, Jodie Foster, Nicki Lauda, Joe Montana and Carl Lewis as well as all the major Australian sporting figures from Shane Gould to Lionel Rose and Allan Border. He has interviewed every Australian Prime Minister from Gough Whitlam through to Julia Gillard. Page 6 NEER KORN - PANELIST Neer Korn is an expert on Australian people. He has been studying social trends and consumer insights for major brands such as Nestlé, ABC and Sanitarium for 20 years. He has documented Australian attitudes in extraordinary detail and has unparalleled insight into Australian culture. Neer has written over 120 large scale reports on Australian society of people aged 7 to 70. Neer is an expert advisor to Australia’s leading blue chip companies such as AMP, as well as government departments and not-for-profits. Filled with learnings, ideas and provocations, Neer’s presentations are highly entertaining and innately interesting.

This thesis is submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Griffith University Faculty of Arts School of Arts, Media and Culture August 2003 Statement of Authorship This work has never been previously submitted for a degree or diploma in any university. To the best of my knowledge and belief, this dissertation contains no material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made in the dissertation itself. Abstract This thesis contains a detailed academic analysis of the complete rise and fall of Christopher Skase and his Qintex group mirage. It uses David Harvey’s ‘Condition of Postmodernity’ to locate the collapse within the Australian political economic context of the period (1974-1989). It does so in order to answer questions about why and how the mirage developed, why and how it failed, and why Skase became the scapegoat for the Australian corporate excesses of the 1980s. I take a multi-disciplinary approach and consider corporate collapse, corporate regulation and the role of accounting, and corporate deviance. Acknowledgments I am very grateful to my principal supervisor, Dr Anthony B. van Fossen, for his inspiration, advice, direction, guidance, and unfailing encouragement throughout the course of this study; and for suggesting Qintex as a case study.

  • Media Locks in the New Narrative

    Media Locks in the New Narrative

    7. Influences on a changed story and the new normal: media locks in the new narrative It was the biggest, most powerful spin campaign in Australian media history—the strategy was to delay action on greenhouse gas emissions until ‘coal was ready’—with geo-sequestration (burying carbon gases) and tax support. Alan Tate, ABC environment reporter 1990s On 23 September 2013 the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) program Media Watch explored a textbook example of why too many Australians and their politicians continue to stumble through a fog of confusion and doubt in regard to climate change. The case under the microscope typified irresponsible journalism. Media Watch host Paul Barry, with trademark irony, announced: ‘Yes it’s official at last … those stupid scientists on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [IPCC] got it wrong’, in their latest assessment report. He quoted 2GB breakfast jock Chris Smith from a week earlier saying the IPCC had ‘fessed up’ that its computers had drastically overestimated rising temperatures. ‘That’s a relief,’ said Barry, and how do we know this? ‘Because Chris Smith read it on the front page of last Monday’s Australian newspaper. When it comes to rubbishing the dangers of man-made global warming the shock jocks certainly know who they can trust.’ But wait. The Australian’s story by Environment Editor Graham Lloyd—‘We got it wrong on warming says IPCC’ was not original either. According to Media Watch, Lloyd appeared to have based his story on a News Limited sister publication from the United Kingdom. Said Barry: ‘He’d read all about it in the previous day’s Mail on Sunday,’ which had a story headlined ‘The great green con’.

    1. Gina Rinehart $14.02billion from Resources Chairman – Hancock Prospecting Residence: Perth Wealth last year: $20.01b Rank last year: 1 A plunging iron ore price has made a big dent in Gina Rinehart’s wealth. But so vast are her mining assets that Rinehart, chairman of Hancock Prospecting, maintains her position as Australia’s richest person in 2015. Work is continuing on her $10billion Roy Hill project in Western Australia, although it has been hit by doubts over its short-term viability given falling commodity prices and safety issues. Rinehart is pressing ahead and expects the first shipment late in 2015. Most of her wealth comes from huge royalty cheques from Rio Tinto, which mines vast swaths of tenements pegged by Rinehart’s late father, Lang Hancock, in the 1950s and 1960s. Rinehart's wealth has been subject to a long running family dispute with a court ruling in May that eldest daughter Bianca should become head of the $5b family trust. 2. Anthony Pratt & Family $10.76billion from manufacturing and investment Executive Chairman – Visy Residence: Melbourne Wealth last year: $7.6billion Rank last year: 2 Anthony Pratt’s bet on a recovering United States economy is paying off. The value of his US-based Pratt Industries has surged this year thanks to an improving manufacturing sector and a lower Australian dollar. Pratt is also executive chairman of box maker and recycling business Visy, based in Melbourne. Visy is Australia’s largest private company by revenue and the biggest Australian-owned employer in the US. Pratt inherited the Visy leadership from his late father Richard in 2009, though the firm’s ownership is shared with sisters Heloise Waislitz and Fiona Geminder.

    The Australian Apparently Plans to Complain

    Media Watch sent to ACMA. Haven’t they had a Barry? • SHARRI MARKSON • THE AUSTRALIAN • FEBRUARY 24, 2014 12:00AM AUSTRALIA’S most experienced editor plans to lodge a complaint with the communications watchdog about the ABC’s Media Watch program’s failure to meet editorial guidelines. The Australian editor-in-chief Chris Mitchell has also denied claims by Media Watch host Paul Barry over the national broadsheet’s financial position. Mitchell, the nation’s longest-serving editor, has revealed The Australian’s digital advertising revenue is increasing by double digits, newspaper advertising revenue is up and national readership is growing beyond 3.1 million a month. The Australian, which will celebrate its 50th anniversary this year, was not a “loss-making hole in the ocean”, Mitchell said, which was how media rivals, particularly the ABC, liked to portray it. Mitchell said he would complain to the Australian Communications and Media Authority over the ABC’s failure to seek comment from News Corp Australia before going to air with false claims that the paper was losing up to $50 million a year, after the national broadcaster refused to correct the record. “The Australian should not have to draw the program’s attention to the ABC’s code of conduct and editorial policies,” The Australian’s letter to the ABC says. “The program has demonstrably failed to apply the same ‘recognised standards of objective journalism’ to which it is bound by statute and which it expects of the media each week.” In an embarrassing breach of ABC editorial policy, Barry admitted to business media writer Darren Davidson that he did not contact The Australian for comment, despite seeking clarification from Fairfax, The Daily Telegraph and The Daily Mail for his report on the profitability of newspapers.
