  • Appendix 3J Cross-Border Issues and Australian Bushfires
    3J-1 Appendix 3J Cross-Border Issues and Australian Bushfires Table 3J-1 below contains 26 extracts from books, reports and papers, from 1983 through to 2005, which describe the impact of Australia's State-Territory borders and cross-border issues on operational responses to bushfires, and associated costs to individuals, communities and governments. These 26 extracts include 1 from 1983; 1 from 1998; 1 from 2000; 1 from 2001; 1 from 2002; 15 from 2003 (including reports on the January 2003 Canberra bushfires by the Canberra Times and the ACT Stateline television program, and the McLeod and Nairn Reports); 4 from 2004 (including the COAG Report by Ellis et al.), and 2 from 2005. 3J-2 Table 3J-1: Extracts on State-Territory Cross-Border Issues Arising in Relation to Australian Bushfires Source Selected Extracts Whitlam (1983: 40-42): The cost of Australian federalism is horrendous enough when the federal government and a state government or state governments duplicate services for which there is a commonly accepted standard. The cost is higher still when they supply services for which there is not such a standard. The most notorious case in Australian history concerned the railways where the states adopted three different gauges. ... The break of gauge syndrome has another manifestation which was brought to my attention by a fire in the bulk sugar terminal at Townsville in May 1963. The terminal's own fire fighting equipment could not cope. The adjacent Harbour Board could not assist, since its hoses could not be coupled with those of the terminal. Nor could the hoses of the City Council nor those of the federal departments of Civil Aviation and of Air at the airport.

  • Nine Response to Mr Anthony Klan
    30 March 2021 Mr Nicholas Craft Standing Committee on Environment and Communications Department of the Senate PO Box 6100 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Attention: Nicholas Craft By email: [email protected] Private & Confidential Dear Mr Craft Re: Inquiry into Media Diversity in Australia We refer to your email dated 16 March 2021 which attached Anthony Klan’s submission on Media Diversity in Australia. Nine denies the allegations contained in Mr Klan’s submissions, and in particular, Nine vehemently denies any allegation that Nine receives payment in return for favourable coverage or conversely payment for protecting individuals or companies from damaging media coverage. Nine maintains strong editorial independence across all of its platforms. Nine’s news, whether it be delivered by television, radio, print or online, is subject to the following standards which require editorial independence, disclosure of commercial arrangements, impartiality and accuracy: - Commercial Television Industry Code of Practice; - Commercial Radio Code of Practice; and - Australian Press Council Standards of Practice When Nine acquired the Fairfax publications (The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Australian Financial Review, The Brisbane Times, WA Today), Nine agreed to commit to the Fairfax Media Charter of Editorial Independence at a Nine Board and Management level. This was confirmed in the materials publicly released by Fairfax as part of the scheme of arrangement under which Nine acquired Fairfax in 2018. There is no physical document which needs to be signed, to establish this commitment. This is something which I am instructed we have communicated to Mr Klan previously, and which he has failed to disclose in his submissions.
