More than 30 volunteers came along to do maintenance work at the site and complete a number of projects, including mounting a magnificent Wedge Tailed Eagle sculpture at the front entrance. Other works included replacing sand which had shifted at the hide – a shelter used at dusk to observe nocturnal mammals like bettongs and hopping mice eating at dusk. Sand was also replaced over the tunnel entrances to the viewing boxes alongside the hide. A conveyor belt used to stop bilbies digging into control sites was shifted onto a dune bordering the second expansion control site where the previous belt had deteriorated.

  • Cal Wilson Comedian/Broadcaster/Actor
    Cal Wilson Comedian/Broadcaster/Actor Cal Wilson came across the Tasman in 2003 and has gone on to become one of our most popular comedians, and a perennial favourite on television shows such as Spicks and Specks, Good News Week, Thank God You’re Here, and more recently Have You Been Paying Attention? and Hughesy We Have a Problem. Her stand up shows are as engaging as they are hilarious, often bringing the audience’s stories to life alongside her own. Her comedy career started back in New Zealand in 1990 where she was a founding member of the Court Jesters improv group, and was part of the NZ team that won the World Theatresports title in Los Angeles in 1994. In 1997, she received the inaugural ‘Billy T Award’, New Zealand's most prestigious comedy award recognizing comedians with outstanding potential, and was judged Best Comedian 2000, by Metro Magazine. However, like all great New Zealand talent, Australia has claimed her as its own and Cal has made Melbourne her home for the past 10 years. Her live performances demonstrate her enormous talent as a stand-up comedian. Her festival shows play to sold out houses, and garner rave reviews: In 2001 Cal won the Best Newcomer Award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and has performed to every corner of the country since. Since then, Cal has appeared three times at the prestigious, invitation only, Montreal Just For Laughs Festival, and has performed twice in her own shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Cal earned herself a seat in one of Australia’s most sought-after writers’ rooms at the ABC for The Weekly with Charlie Pickering for its first two seasons.

It has retail and commercial offerings, civic and government services catering for the local community, and tourism functions. The Nowra Centre supports 9,200 jobs, concentrated in health care (2,600 jobs), retail (1,650) and public administration (1,100). Major employers include Shoalhaven City Council and the Shoalhaven District Memorial Hospital.

Shoalhaven City Council is already working to renew and revitalise the Centre to encourage new business opportunities through the: • CBD Urban Design Masterplan; • Nowra CBD height and floor space ratio planning controls; and • Nowra CBD Revitalisation Strategy. The priorities are to increase public transport use, better integrate walkways and cycleways, improve pedestrian connections across the highway, and better integrate recreational uses around the Shoalhaven River and the commercial activity in the Centre. As Nowra Centre grows it will be important to coordinate local and State infrastructure. The NSW Government will: • coordinate State agency input into precinct planning activities; and • identify Shoalhaven District Memorial Hospital’s capacity for growth, and consider opportunities to accommodate future expansion.

  • The Paul Hogan Story
    Coming to HOGES THE PAUL HOGAN STORY From Seven and FremantleMedia Australia (FMA) comes HOGES: The Paul Hogan story. An almost accidental supernova of raw comedic talent exploding onto the entertainment scene; first Australia, then the world. The story of how a married-at-18 Sydney Harbour Bridge rigger with five kids entered a TV talent contest on a dare from his work-mates to become a household name and an Oscar-nominated superstar. Embraced by all Australians and soon known simply as “Hoges,” he is joined on his meteoric journey by lifelong friend, producer and sidekick John “Strop” Cornell. Together, they first make Australians laugh, then proud with one of the most successful tourism campaigns in history selling Aussie hospitality to the world. This, with the runaway success of Crocodile Dundee, the highest US-grossing foreign film ever in its day, cements Hogan’s legacy. HOGES explores the factors which shaped this success – and at what cost success might have come. It entwines the story of his amazing journey with that of his close family life, of his two great loves, the pain of divorce, his struggle with the intense scrutiny of life in the public eye, but also of his enduring friendship with Cornell and the rollercoaster ride of their careers. FMA’s Jo Porter and Seven’s Julie McGauran are Executive Producers, Kevin Carlin (Molly, Wentworth) is Co-Producer and Director, Brett Popplewell is Producer and the script is by Keith Thompson (The Sapphires) and Marieke Hardy (Packed To The Rafters, The Family Law). The Hoges Story PART ONE PART TWO Poolside at Granville baths, a young Paul Hogan cracks jokes and pashes While the success of Crocodile Dundee catapults Hoges onto the world Noelene, his childhood sweetheart.

Investigating and Prosecuting Cyber Crime: Forensic Dependencies and Barriers to Justice Cameron S. D. Brown1 Australian National University, Australia Abstract The primary goal of this paper is to raise awareness regarding legal loopholes and enabling technologies, which facilitate acts of cyber crime. In perusing these avenues of inquiry, the author seeks to identify systemic impediments which obstruct police investigations, prosecutions, and digital forensics interrogations. Existing academic research on this topic has tended to highlight theoretical perspectives when attempting to explain technology aided crime, rather than presenting practical insights from those actually tasked with working cyber crime cases. The author offers a grounded, pragmatic approach based on the in-depth experience gained serving with police task-forces, government agencies, private sector, and international organizations. The secondary objective of this research encourages policy makers to reevaluate strategies for combating the ubiquitous and evolving threat posed by cyber- criminality. Research in this paper has been guided by the firsthand global accounts (via the author’s core involvement in the preparation of the Comprehensive Study on Cybercrime (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, 2013) and is keenly focused on core issues of concern, as voiced by the international community.

Abstract In 2012, the most popular reality TV show in China was The Voice of China (TVoC). It is an adaptation of The Voice of Holland, the format of which has been traded to many countries. Unlike its international versions, audiences cannot vote in TVoC due to government regulations. This research focuses on audience engagement with TVoC (2012), in light of this crucial difference. To investigate how audiences engage and make meanings with the show, this thesis is the first study approaches audience engagement in China by examining the tensions between government media policies, industry strategies and audience reception. Building on existing literature on media convergence and participatory culture in the West, this thesis argues that Internet technologies alongside social media enable and stimulate individual critical thinking and creativities which resist structural constraints such as censorship and commercialisation. Although direct online political participation is censored in China, audiences express and negotiate power as ways to construct political values. These online engagements bring new perspectives to understand participatory culture and ‘empowerment’ of audiences. Using political economy frameworks, this thesis highlights the power of government media policies in shaping TV industry and media content.

To assess effects on court decisions, quantitative analyses were conducted using primary data from the State of Queensland. A control-comparison method was used to assess the effects in court, and this was made within a context of other evidentiary and extra- legal factors that had a bearing on case outcomes. These other factors included defendant confessions, independent witness testimony and fingerprint and photographic evidence. A sample of 750 cases referred by police for prosecution and finalised past the appeal stage in court, was selected for examination.
