  • TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson
    TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 14 April 2009 RE: Media Summary Tuesday 07 April to Tuesday 14 April 2009 Give us a chance: WITH France joining Australia, Great Britain and New Zealand to make up an international quad-nations series this year, Fiji Bati centre Darryl Millard has called on the Pacific Nations to be considered too. After the 2008 Rugby League World Cup shake up of the international calendar by the Rugby League International Federation, it has been proposed that a Pacific Cup be held this year. The winner of the tournament enters the 2010 Rugby League Four Nations tournament (consisting of Australia, New Zealand, England and a qualifying nation). A Pacific Cup is also proposed to be held in 2011. Jones not available for Kiwis: He still has that magic touch but little general Stacey Jones has ruled himself out of contention for New Zealand's clash with Australia next month at Lang Park. The scheming halfback said he would not be available for selection for the Brisbane match which takes place on May 8, the day after his 33rd birthday. After one year out of rugby league, Jones made a shock return to the NRL this season and has shown he still has a knack for creating tries. Linwood win 17-try see-saw: Former Warrior Kane Ferris scored a match-winning try on the stroke of fulltime as the Linwood Keas snuck home in a 94-point rugby league thriller against east-side arch rival Aranui. Linwood's Canterbury Bulls hooker Nathan Sherlock and Aranui Eagles back Tim Rangihuna both scored four tries as the Keas clung to a 48-46 victory at Rugby League Park on Saturday.

    TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 11 May 2009 RE: Media Summary Tuesday 05 April to Monday 11 May 2009 Kearney wants to stay on: DESPITE Friday's loss to the Kangaroos, Kiwis coach Stephen Kearney has given the first hints he wants to carry on in the role beyond this year. The 36-year-old, who guided the Kiwis to World Cup glory against all odds last year, comes off contract after the Four Nations, which ends mid-November. Anzac test defeats seen as brand damage to Kiwis: NEW ZEALAND officials are concerned that the Kiwi brand is becoming damaged by one-sided Anzac test defeats, and a former NZRL chairman has called for the mid-year game to be scrapped. Senior Kiwi and Australian officials will meet in the next month to discuss plans for the year-end Four Nations tournament, but New Zealand will also want debate over the future of this game. There is no long-term contract for the match, which is agreed to on an annual basis. It was classic Benji – good and bad: After engineering – almost single-handedly – a win for the Tigers over the Knights on a recent sunny Sunday afternoon, Benji Marshall was described by astute league analyst Phil Gould as “an enigma; a mystery wrapped up in a riddle”. That same enigma was back last night at Suncorp Stadium and, perhaps more importantly, he had the extra responsibility of captaining his world champion Kiwis against a fired up Aussie side hell-bent on revenge.

  • Australia and the Pacific
    AUSTRALIA AND THE PACIFIC: THE AMBIVALENT PLACE OF PACIFIC PEOPLES WITHIN CONTEMPORARY AUSTRALIA Scott William Mackay, BA (Hons), BSc July 2018 Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Australian Indigenous Studies Program School of Culture and Communication The University of Melbourne 0000-0002-5889 – Abstract – My thesis examines the places (real and symbolic) accorded to Pacific peoples within the historical production of an Australian nation and in the imaginary of Australian nationalism. It demonstrates how these places reflect and inform the ways in which Australia engages with the Pacific region, and the extent to which Australia considers itself a part of or apart from the Pacific. While acknowledging the important historical and contemporary differences between the New Zealand and Australian contexts, I deploy theoretical concepts and methods developed within the established field of New Zealand- centred Pacific Studies to identify and analyse what is occurring in the much less studied Australian-Pacific context. In contrast to official Australian discourse, the experiences of Pacific people in Australia are differentiated from those of other migrant communities because of: first, Australia’s colonial and neo-colonial histories of control over Pacific land and people; and second, Pacific peoples' important and unique kinships with Aboriginal Australians. Crucially the thesis emphasises the significant diversity (both cultural and national) of the Pacific experience in Australia. My argument is advanced first by a historicisation of Australia’s formal engagements with Pacific people, detailing intersecting narratives of their migration to Australia and Australia’s colonial and neo- colonial engagements within the Pacific region.
