It was my 98th day on the wagon and didn't feel any better than my 97th. I missed my hip flask of Johnnie Walker, my ex-wife Jean, my pet dog Somare, and my exorbitant salary as deputy commissioner of police. I wasn't sure any more I was cut out to be a writer of controversial exposes of police corruption. At the moment I couldn't lift the lid off a can of baked beans. I wanted to be twelve years old again and the best spin bowler in Southport High. I wanted a lot of things … (Landlady's voice: Mr Stacey) So did my landlady … including the rent ... Stacey (to landlady): Don't tell me, you've had your haircut … Landlady: Permed … there's been a bloke ringing STD all day … He left this message for you … Stacey takes the note and reads: HATE YOU HATE YOUR DOG HATE HATE HATE Stacey: Oh yes it's from a friend of mine, my publisher … Somare's been eating him out of house and home ... Landlady: Your publisher's looking after your dog? Stacey: Well they're a desperate breed of men … Landlady: Five more bills came for you … and two final notices … I put them under your door … Stacey: Thank you … (turning to give her a passionate look) … why don't we have an affair? While I'm still a free man ... Landlady: Not while your room's in that condition … Stacey: Oh well, that's the sticking point … (he closes the door and titles resume) Voice over resumes over Tex Morton's credit: Stacey (v/o): I made my way into the familiar squalor, wondering how I, Michael Stacey, O.B.E., of Army and Police Intelligence, one time friend of cabinet ministers and brothel keepers and gambling millionaires, had come down so far in the world so fast. It was to do, in part, I knew with being framed at a Royal Commission, but maybe it went deeper than that, maybe I had a suicidal streak, one that got worse when sober. I was thankful at least for the weekly postcard from my old mate Quiney in Malaya, on which was the latest move in our absorbing game of chess. (sits down at chessboard) The game now in its seventh month was beginning to look interesting … Stacey (to himself): Clever bugger … Stacey (v/o): Then I wrote some more of my forthcoming bestseller that exposed them all, the bastards, wished I was writing it better, and then real life intruded … I was getting to like it less and less ... .

Literature Review
The impact of the counterculture on Australian cinema in the mid to late 20th century A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Art Administration (Hons) within the School of Art History and Art Education, College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. Fiona Hooton 1 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Hooton First name: Fiona Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: School: School of Art History and Art Education Faculty:COFA Title: The impact of the counterculture on Australian cinema in the mid to late 20th century 2 Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) This thesis discusses the impact of the counterculture on Australian cinema in the late 20thcentury through the work of the Sydney Underground Film group, Ubu. This group, active between 1965 -1970, was a significant part of an underground counter culture, to which many young Australians subscribed. As a group, Ubu was more than a rat bag assemblage of University students. It was an antipodean aspect of an ongoing artistic and political movement that began with the European avant-garde at the beginning of the 20th century and that radically transformed artistic conventions in theatre, painting, literature, photography and film. Three purposes underpin this thesis: firstly to track the art historical links between a European avant-garde heritage and Ubu. Experimental film is a genre that is informed by cross art form interrelations between theatre, painting, literature, photography and film and the major modernist aesthetic philosophies of the last century.
