    AUSTRALIAN EPHEMERA COLLECTION FINDING AID BARRY HUMPHRIES PERFORMING ARTS PROGRAMS AND EPHEMERA (PROMPT) PRINTED AUSTRALIANA JANUARY 2015 Barry Humphries was born in Melbourne on the 17th of February 1934. He is a multi-talented actor, satirist, artist and author. He began his stage career in 1952 in Call Me Madman. As actor he has invented many satiric Australian characters such as Sandy Stone, Lance Boyle, Debbie Thwaite, Neil Singleton and Barry (‘Bazza’) McKenzie - but his most famous creations are Dame Edna Everage who debuted in 1955 and Sir Leslie (‘Les’) Colin Patterson in 1974. Dame Edna, Sir Les and Bazza between them have made several sound recordings, written books and appeared in films and television and have been the subject of exhibitions. Since the 1960s Humphries’ career has alternated between England, Australia and the United States of America with his material becoming more international. Barry Humphries’ autobiography More Please (London; New York : Viking, 1992) won him the J.R. Ackerley Prize in 1993. He has won various awards for theatre, comedy and as a television personality. In 1994 he was accorded an honorary doctorate from Griffith University, Queensland and in 2003 received an Honorary Doctorate of Law from the University of Melbourne. He was awarded an Order of Australia in 1982; a Centenary Medal in 2001 for “service to Australian society through acting and writing”; and made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire for "services to entertainment" in 2007 (Queen's Birthday Honours, UK List). Humphries was named 2012 Australian of the Year in the UK. The Barry Humphries PROMPT collection includes programs, ephemera and newspaper cuttings which document Barry Humphries and his alter egos on stage in Australia and overseas from the beginning of his career in the 1950s into the 21st Century.

Many of Australia’s greatest radio serials were produced during the 1940s. Among those listed in this guide are the Sunday night one-hour plays - The Lux Radio Theatre and The Macquarie Radio Theatre (becoming the Caltex Theatre after 1947); the many Jack Davey Shows, and The Bob Dyer Show; the Colgate Palmolive variety extravaganzas, headed by Calling the Stars, The Youth Show and McCackie Mansion, which starred the outrageously funny Mo (Roy Rene). Fine drama programs produced in Sydney in the 1940s included The Library of the Air and Max Afford's serial Hagen's Circus. Among the comedy programs listed from this decade are the George Wallace Shows, and Mrs 'Obbs with its hilariously garbled language.

This article seeks to examine, from a comparative perspective, the motivations and ethical practices of these lawyers. Using interviews with Australian lawyers who represent the criminally accused, prisoners and asylum-seekers, as well as relevant ethical rules and commentary, the article identifies why lawyers undertake unpopular cases and, ultimately, what sustains them. Contrasting Australian legal practice with that in the US, the article discusses the sometimes competing professional obligations to court and client, truth and advocacy, public and profession. In a time of growing unease, the article offers new insights about how Australian lawyers see themselves and their work.] CONTENTS I Introduction ............................... 496 II Why Represent the Unpopular? ............... 504 A Professionalism ....................... 504 B Polities .............................. 521 C Personality ........................... 526 D Publicity ............................. 529 III Duty to the Court and Fealty to Truth ...... 530 IV Duty to the Client and the Bounds of Zeal .. 539 V Concluding Thoughts ........................ 547 [F]or the trial lawyer the unpopular cause is often a post of honor.

  • Some International and National Legal Issues On
    SOME INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL LEGAL ISSUES ON THE RIGHT TO LIFE AND THE APPLICATION OF THE DEATH PENALTY FOR DRUG-RELATED CRIMES - PRACTICE IN VIETNAM Mac Thi Hoai Thuong Researcher, Lecturer Hanoi Law University (HLU), VIETNAM Email: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: The right to life is the most fundamental human right. The death penalty is the most severe punishment and is commonly specified in the laws of many countries. This penalty deprives the convicted person of the right to life. Therefore, the death penalty is only applied to the most serious crimes. The application of the death penalty to drug-related crimes in relation to the right to life is a controversial issue and applied differently in different countries. This paper shall analyze the relationship between the right to life and the application of the death penalty to drug-related crimes in order to study the application of the death penalty to drug-related crimes both internally and domestically. The legal issues studied by this paper include legal issues related to the right to life, the application of death penalty, the legitimacy of application of death penalty to drug-related crimes, the trend of applying death penalty to drug-related crimes in the world and reference to the practices in Vietnam. By this paper, the author shall present the process of formation and development trend of Vietnamese law provisions related to the application of the death penalty to drug-related crimes, assess the compatibility between current Vietnamese regulations on this issue and international human rights standards.

  • Capital Punishment and Australian Foreign Policy
    POLICY BRIEF August 2006 DR MICHAEL FULLILOVE Capital Punishment and Program Director Global Issues Australian Foreign Policy Tel: +61 2 8238 9040 [email protected] W h a t i s t h e p r o b l e m ? Australia is an abolitionist country. Both the Australian Government and the Opposition are opposed to capital punishment. Australia engages in modest advocacy against the death penalty but most of Canberra’s efforts are directed toward cases involving Australian citizens. These are likely to continue to occur: our closest Asian neighbours retain the death penalty, and Australian nationals will probably continue to commit criminal acts carrying this penalty. Situations involving Australians often do violence to bilateral relations. For example, the looming execution of Van Tuong Nguyen last year led to calls from Australian commentators for trade and business sanctions against Singapore, and charges of hypocrisy being levelled against Australia in the regional press. The problem, then, is twofold: Australian diplomacy is making little progress toward universal abolition, a bipartisan national policy; and our bilateral relationships are being damaged because of our perceived hypocrisy on the issue. W h a t s h o u l d b e d o n e ? Australia is an effective advocate for our nationals on death row. However, we should accelerate our efforts on comprehensive abolition, in two ways: • Australian political leaders should bring some consistency to their rhetoric on the death penalty; and • Australia should initiate a regional coalition against capital punishment. In the past decade five Asian states have done away with the death penalty.

  • THE FOURTH TONY FITZGERALD MEMORIAL LECTURE 23 June
    THE FOURTH TONY FITZGERALD MEMORIAL LECTURE 23 June 2016 NORTHERN TERRITORY LIBRARY, DARWIN LEX LASRY It is very nice to be in Darwin in June where the weather is so much kinder. It is appropriate for me to say at the beginning that, unlike probably all of you, I did not know Tony Fitzgerald and my links with Darwin are only very occasional. It has been something like 10 years since I was last here. Unlike a number of Victorian barristers I was not part of the Frank Vincent/John Coldrey efforts in the Northern Territory, though of course I admired their efforts, which were extensive. In speeches in Melbourne, Coldrey regularly tells the story of their involvement in the trial of the so-called Huckitta Station 5 in the case of Collins and others in 1979 along with John Dee, Dyson Hore-Lacy and Peter Waye from South Australia. I will return broadly to that topic a little later. I should say that one of Coldrey’s claims to fame is that he says he lost the last murder trial conducted in the old Alice Springs court house and also the first one conducted in the new one. So, it is an honour to be invited to give this lecture and to be among Northern Territory legal professions as I know there are some big issues about the criminal justices system here. Sadly I will never again be able to share your Bali conference much as I enjoyed it when I did attend a few years ago. I know Tony Fitzgerald was born in Sydney and practiced law initially in Melbourne.
