Cover image: Artwork by Julie Gough. Detail, Intertidal resulted from an invitation to participate in an exhibition <Abstractions>. My concept was to arrive with raw materials collected during my journey to the Canberra gallery from which new works would be made. One of the four pieces produced was titled Intertidal for which I finely ground-up the materials and applied them to a board surface in linear striations. Each ‘stripe’ represented my absence from Tasmania as well as the fulfilling exploration of working with and combining new materials to describe my, at the time, nomadic life.

  • John Newfong (3/11/1943-30/5/1999), Aboriginal Activist, Commentator, and Public Servant Left an Indelible Mark on Aboriginal Affairs
    John Newfong (3/11/1943-30/5/1999), Aboriginal activist, commentator, and public servant left an indelible mark on Aboriginal Affairs. As a descendant of Ngugi people of the Moreton Bay region in Queensland, he drew much on the history of his people and how they maintained a continuous connection with land and sea despite European settlement. It was from this cultural background that John drew during the course of his life and it sustained him whilst working in Canberra and Sydney and overseas. As a print media journalist, he completed a cadetship in the mid-1960s and subsequently worked for The Australian, The Sydney Morning-Herald and The Bulletin in the early 1970s. However, he experienced the tension caused by the often conflicting professional and political demands on him. At the time, the Editor of The Australian , Adrian Deamer warned him that if he did not acquire and develop all of his professional skills, he would do "…nothing else but write about being black". According to David Armstrong, The Australian’s Chief of Staff, John's political activism was the main reason for him leaving the media as "…he eventually felt he was able to do more for the cause". Upon leaving the media, John began to immerse himself more and more in the affairs of FCAATSI and the National Tribal Council. Whilst his full-time career in journalism ended in early 1972, he continued to periodically write as a columnist or commentator for The Australian , The Canberra Times , The Courier-Mail , The Review, The National Interest, The Sydney Morning-Herald , and, The Australian Financial Review until his death.

And where do we come from? Australia’s greatest Olympian Ian Thorpe, iconic Indigenous actor Ernie Dingo, and TV presenter and Queen of Eurovision Julia Zemiro set off on an epic journey of genetic time travel to find out. DNA is the instruction manual that helps build and run our bodies. But scientific breakthroughs have discovered another remarkable use for it. DNA contains a series of genetic route maps. It means we can trace our mother’s mother’s mother and our father’s father’s father, and so on, back through tens of millennia, revealing how our ancestors migrated out of Africa and went on to populate the rest of the world.

Dissertation presented to the Faculty of Arts of the University of Glasgow in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Glasgow March 1996 Page 2 Abstract Academic work on Aboriginality in popular media has, understandably, been largely written in defensive registers. Aware of horrendous histories of Aboriginal murder, dispossession and pitying understanding at the hands of settlers, writers are worried about the effects of raced representation; and are always concerned to identify those texts which might be labelled racist. In order to make such a search meaningful, though, it is necessary to take as axiomatic certain propositions about the functioning of films: that they 'mean' in particular and stable ways, for example; and that sophisticated reading strategies can fully account for the possible ways a film interacts with audiences.

  • Grains Research Update Driving Profit Through Research
    Dubbo NSW THURDAY 25 & FRIDAY 26 FEBRUARY 2021 GRAINS RESEARCH UPDATE DRIVING PROFIT THROUGH RESEARCH grdc.com.au GRDC 2021 Grains Research Update Welcome If you are reading this, then chances are you are sitting in one of the GRDC’s first face-to-face events since COVID-19 changed our lives. Welcome. We at the GRDC understand how challenging the past year has been for all Australians, but we also appreciate how well positioned agriculture has been to respond to and work through the restrictions that have come with this global pandemic. Across many areas of Queensland and New South Wales, an improvement in seasonal conditions has also provided a much-needed reprieve for growers, advisers, agronomists, researchers and those associated with the grains industry. With that positive change in circumstances comes a thirst for the latest information and advice from grains research and development – we trust that these GRDC Grains Research Updates will help guide your on- farm decisions this season and into the future. While COVID-19 has forced temporary changes to our traditional Update locations and audience numbers, these events still offer the high quality, seasonally relevant research, development and extension information you have come to depend on. This year our Updates will also be live streamed to ensure the information is available to all who need it. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our many research partners, who, like growers and advisers, have gone over and above to continue to work in situations constricted by COVID-19 regulations. Challenging times reinforce the importance of rigorous, innovative research that delivers genuine gains on- farm.
