Anecdotally, many in the arts seem to find it difficult to meet the conditions for COVID-19 relief. The Australia Council for the Arts and other funding bodies should be commended for their efforts to support arts workers with relief funding, but they are woefully under-resourced in doing so. This devalues not only the importance of the arts to our daily lives, but also the importance of the industry to the economy at a moment of economic crisis. The scope and scale of the creative arts as an industry continues to be underestimated: for example, a recent survey from the Australian Institute showed that only seven per cent of respondents answered correctly that the arts employs greater numbers of people than coalmining, while sixty-eight per cent of respondents assumed that mining is the larger employer (‘Most Australians Want Government Scarborough, Perth Lifeline for the Creative Industries’, 23 May 2020). June 2020 Underestimating the arts comes with a risk to the richness of the cultural life of any society. Art offers clarity, sincerity, emotion.

  • Why Has Soccer Not Become the Code of Football in Australia
    Deakin Research Online Deakin University’s institutional research repository DDeakin Research Online Research Online This is the authors final peer reviewed version of the item published as: Hay, Roy 2006-04, Our wicked foreign game : why has association football (Soccer) not became the main code of football in Australia?, Soccer and society, vol. 7, no. 2-3, pp. 165-186. Copyright : 2006, Taylor & Francis ..‘Our wicked foreign game’: Why has Association Football (soccer) not become the main code of football in Australia?∗ Roy Hay Sports and Editorial Services Australia Introduction Soccer, ‘our wicked foreign game’, is not the main code of football in any state in Australia, but it is probably the second in most states if measured by spectator attendance or participation.1 In Victoria, Australian rules is number one, while in New South Wales, rugby league is the dominant code. The phenomenon is not unique to Australia. None of the white dominions of the old British Empire nor the former British colony the United States has soccer as its main code, with the exception of South Africa where the non-white population has taken up Association Football.2 In most of these countries soccer is characterised as a migrants’ game, even though many of the migrants playing or watching the game are of second or later generations. Explanations for the secondary position of soccer in Australia ought therefore to be compared with those for these other countries, and if we seek a comprehensive explanation of this phenomenon then the Australian story ought not to vary too much from those applied to the others, unless it can be clearly shown that Australian experience and conditions were indeed different.3 This article concentrates on the domestic experience in Australia, with a view to introducing and outlining some of the issues which might be drawn into an effective international comparison.

  • Robertson Davies Fifth Business Fifth Business Definition: Those Roles Which, Being Neither Those of Hero Nor Heroine, Confidant
    Robertson Davies Fifth Business Fifth Business Definition: Those roles which, being neither those of Hero nor Heroine, Confidante nor Villain, but which were nonetheless essential to bring about the Recognition or the denouement, were called the Fifth Business in drama and opera companies organized according to the old style; the player who acted these parts was often referred to as Fifth Business. —Tho. Overskou, Den Daaske Skueplads I. Mrs. Dempster 1 My lifelong involvement with Mrs. Dempster began at 8 o’clock p.m. on the 27th of December, 1908, at which time I was ten years and seven months old. I am able to date the occasion with complete certainty because that afternoon I had been sledding with my lifelong friend and enemy Percy Boyd Staunton, and we had quarrelled, because his fine new Christmas sled would not go as fast as my old one. Snow was never heavy in our part of the world, but this Christmas it had been plentiful enough almost to cover the tallest spears of dried grass in the fields; in such snow his sled with its tall runners and foolish steering apparatus was clumsy and apt to stick, whereas my low-slung old affair would almost have slid on grass without snow. The afternoon had been humiliating for him, and when Percy as humiliated he was vindictive. His parents were rich, his clothes were fine, and his mittens were of skin and came from a store in the city, whereas mine were knitted by my mother; it was manifestly wrong, therefore, that his splendid sled should not go faster than mine, and when such injustice showed itself Percy became cranky.

  • SBS to Farewell Football Analyst, Craig Foster, After 18 Years with the Network
    24 June 2020 SBS to farewell football analyst, Craig Foster, after 18 years with the network SBS today announced that multi award-winning sports broadcaster, Craig Foster, will leave his permanent role at SBS as Chief Football Analyst at the end of July to pursue other challenges. SBS plans to continue working with Craig in the future on the network’s marquee football events. Craig will broadcast FIFA’s decision for hosting rights to the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup™ on Friday morning at 8am on SBS, alongside Lucy Zelić, as a fitting farewell to an 18-year career. Craig Foster said: “My deepest gratitude to SBS Chairpersons, Directors, management, colleagues and our loyal viewers across football and news for an incredible journey. SBS provided not just an opportunity, but a mission back in 2002 and I instantly knew that we were aligned in our values, love of football and vision for the game. But the organisational spirit of inclusion, acceptance of diversity and promotion of Australia’s multicultural heart struck me most deeply. We brought this to life through football, but the mission was always to create a better Australia and world. My own challenges lie in this field and I will miss the people, above all, though I will never be too far away. I will always be deeply proud of having called SBS home for so long and look forward to walking down memory lane and thanking everyone personally over the next month.” SBS Managing Director, James Taylor, said: “Craig is one of the finest football analysts and commentators, and has made a significant contribution to SBS over almost two decades.

Carl Blechen, View of the Colosseum in Rome, 1829 Oil on paper, mounted on panel, 18.7 x 31.9 cm Loan, promised gift from a private collector In 2010, as well as French, Danish and Dutch oil sketches from the estate of Carlos van Hasselt, the Fondation Custodia also acquired a group of works by Ger- man artists. Something I had never thought possible, to be able to add to these a work by Carl Blechen (1798–1840) – the most important exponent of the oil sketch from the German-speaking regions – has now come about. We owe this acquisi- tion to the immediate response of a private collector, who acted instantly when an unpublished View of the Colosseum in Rome dated 1829 came on to the market this spring (fig. 1). Prompted by enthusiasm about the initiative of expanding the collec- tion of oil sketches into an exciting and representative entity, he bought the paint- ing and loaned it to the Fondation Custodia with the intention of donating it in the DE L’ALLEMAGNE, future. : CARL BLECHEN Carl Blechen had long wanted to travel to Italy and finally set off on 6 September 1828, returning to Berlin fourteen months later. His trip released something in him. Painting en plein air led to an assurance in his brushwork and a different orientation in his art. His friend Karl Friedrich Schinkel called Blechen’s oil sketches ‘etwas promised gift Wirkliches von Kunst’, in which admiration for his faithfulness to visible reality resonates.
