I first met her twenty five years ago at a symposium in Sydney hosted by Geoffrey Sharp, the then editor of Arena. The idea for the gathering grew out of the pres- entation of a number of innovative papers that had been delivered to the first ASAL Conference, held at Monash University in 1978 that offered what then were emergent feminist and cultural studies perspectives. At the ASAL confer- ence, and later at the Sharp symposium, I presented a paper on Katharine Susannah Prichard, entitled “Of an End a New Beginning,” that utilized feminist, neo- marxist and psychobiographic tools to analyse the creative tension between Prichard’s biography, her Marxist politics and the marked Lawrentian tendencies in her fiction. Geoff later published it in Arena in 1979 (Iseman). It was my first published piece of critical writing in Australia. A number of (then) young (and now well-known) scholars whose work pio- neered Australian feminist and cultural studies, including film and popular cul- ture, had delivered papers at ASAL and were subsequently invited to the seminar in Sydney. Many of us worked at the intersections of literature, politics, philoso- phy and popular culture and came from interdisciplinary faculties in the CAEs, the Institutes of Technology and newer universities.

    This is a transcript from The Messenger – a podcast series produced by Behind the Wire and the Wheeler Centre. The Messenger brings you into the Australian immigration detention centre on Manus Island – and reveals, in intimate detail, one man's experience of what it's really like to flee tragedy and seek asylum by boat. Episode 5: A Safer Place Michael Green: From Behind the Wire and the Wheeler Centre, you’re listening to The Messenger. — Abdul Aziz Muhamat: You know the feeling, the feeling how is it like when you are in a boat in the middle of the ocean and whenever I look around me I could only see that the sky is blue and as far as I can see, I only see the water of the ocean, so nothing else I can see. And at the same time the good things is, like, we have got company like dolphins - six or seven dolphins are just moving with us. Well, I still remember the noise that I heard during my trip on the boats. Honestly there are only three types of noises that I can still, picture them in my head, which is, number one: the noise of the of the engine. And then the second is the noise of the waves splashing or splashing on the boats. And the third noise that I could remember is when we go through the water normally it makes bit of noise, kind of like, you know, you’re cutting something with a sharp things.

  • MESSAGE from the GENERAL SECRETARY Violence Against
    Newsletter 2015/7 October 2015 MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL SECRETARY REFLECTIONS Daily papers across Australia are becoming shorter, briefer. I often find myself questioning, ‘Is it worthwhile buying it?’ I like to skim the main pages, checking for Australian and overseas news. Then I read the death notices, do the puzzles, especially Kenken and Sudoku, and occasionally look at the sports pages – if it is cricket season. Then I often read the detailed obituaries! More often than not I do not know the person who died. Often it can be several weeks since the person has died. But there is something about obituaries that draws me to continue reading them. So often, published obituaries reflect the lives of people who have made very significant contributions to our lives. Rarely does the writer say anything negative about the person. Recently, I read the obituary of Mark Hertzberg 1924-2015 published in the Sydney Morning Herald: ‘He was a truly good man, a man who lived his life in accord with carefully thought–through high principles. Hertzberg brought his keen intellect to bear in all that he did but it was an intellect tempered by great warmth and a generosity of spirit. He was always careful with and concerned for the wellbeing of others. ‘Hertzberg provided leadership without being domineering. He always tried to lead by engaging his mind, exploring the issues, gaining a shared understanding, and exercising balanced careful judgment’. Apart from what was written in the obituary, I know nothing about this man. Whether or not he was a Christian I do not know.
