Born in Bunbury in 1924, he served in RAAF Bomber Command during the Second World War and was taken prisoner in 1945. On his return to Perth he joined the English Department of The University of Western Australia as a tutor, while still an honours student, and later as Lecturer. During this career in theatre, Neville Teede appeared in more than 160 professional pro­ ductions ranging from Restoration comedy to contem­ porary Australian plays. He appeared in Australian productions of plays by Dorothy Hewett, Jack Hibberd, Edgar Metcalfe and Douglas Stewart. His contribution to the enjoyment and understanding of theatre in Australia among students, actors and audiences has been enormous and his influence will endure. PATRICK WHITE LITERARY AWARD Peter Cowan, Western Australian short fiction writer and novelist, has been granted the Patrick White award for 1992. Previous winners include Christina Stead and Randolph Stow. 4 WESTERLY. No.4. SUMMER. 1992 EVAN WHITION Royal Commissions: Meaning and Significance for Notions of Justic~ in Contemporary Australia I can't understand why Australia has so many Royal Commissions; they are the perfect vehicle for concealing the truth. John Mortimer QC, 1983 Since its invention by Defoe in 1704, modem journalism has had two obligations: to interest and/or amuse the customers, and to serve the community by exposing wrongdoing; in particular, to defend democracy against those who subvert it by corruption. The second obligation was rendered difficult by practitioners' natural sloth, moral corruption, and lack of sophisticated techniques, and by libel laws invented by common law judges in the 18th century to protect rogues in high places, the trade of authority at that time being corrupt to the rafters. The oldest rule of journalism, and the most forgotten, is to tell the customers what is really going on. However, in the early 1960s Four Comers began to ask some really quite mild questions about prominent institutions. Much affront was taken at this breach of standard practice; where would it all end? A long-serving Prime Minister, Knight of the Thistle, and war criminal, Sir R. Menzies, prudently retired from politics in 1966 before the questions got too pointed. A watershed of sorts occurred in 1969, when a medical practitioner, Dr B.B. Wainer, who was a better on-the-road reporter than most then in the trade, and a disreputable organ, Melbourne Truth, also known as "The Whore of La Trobe Street", forced the first of a series of major commissions of inquiry on corruption in the trade of authority. At the inquiry, Wainer got a rough handling from counsel assisting, J. Winneke, and from the commissioner, W. Kaye QC (as he then was), but three corrupt detectives went to prison. An exceptional reporter, R.G. Bottom, forced more than a dozen similar inquiries in New South Wales during the 1970s and 1980s. Another exceptional reporter, Chris Masters, forced watershed inquiries in Sydney in 1983 and Brisbane in 1987. In the 1990s, earlier dubious practice by W A Inc made an inquiry inevitable. At some stage in that 20-year process, the Cameron Effect came into playas a result of the data disclosed at the various inquiries. The name derives from an English reporter, Jim Cameron. He asserts that the effect of journalism on public opinion is quite mysterious, given that any sensible editor knows that some of his customers never read the sports pages, and some never read anything but. He likens it to a physical experiment concerning nuclear fission. The mass is bombarded with particles (facts) until it becomes critical; one more particle and fission occurs. An effect of all those inquiries is that the mass may now be more or less permanently at the critical stage. This is terrifying for elements of the trade of authority; if Menzies were to be operating in the current climate, it seems doubtful that he would be able to get away with his various perversions of democracy. WESTERLY, No.4, SUMMER, 1992 5 Of the law, the Hon. Mr Justice (as he later became) James Staples rightly observed in 1973 that our courts need more justice and less law.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-85507-5 - The Cambridge Introduction to Shakespeare’s History Plays Warren Chernaik Frontmatter More information The Cambridge Introduction to Shakespeare’s History Plays Shakespeare’s history plays, as fresh today as when they were written, are based upon the assumption that time is not simply a destroyer but a preserver, and that ‘examples past’ might enable us to understand the present and anticipate the future. This lively study examines the continuing tradition of Shakespeare’s history plays in stage and film productions as well as giving an account of the critical debate on these plays. Following two introductory chapters giving essential background on the genre, the English history plays are discussed in turn, bringing out the distinctive characteristics of each play: the three early Henry VI plays; the perennial stage favourite Richard III; King John; Richard II; Henry IV 1 and 2, famous for the character of Falstaff; Henry V,whichistreated very differently in the film versions by Olivier and Branagh; and Henry VIII. An invaluable introduction to these fascinating and complex plays.

  • Twins in Early Modern English Drama and Shakespeare
    Downloaded by [New York University] at 04:46 12 April 2017 Twins in Early Modern English Drama and Shakespeare This volume investigates the early modern understanding of twinship through new readings of plays, informed by discussions of twins appear- ing in such literature as anatomy tracts, midwifery manuals, monstrous birth broadsides, and chapbooks. The book contextualizes such dramatic representations of twinship, investigating contemporary discussions about twins in medical and popular literature and how such dialogues resonate with the twin characters appearing on the early modern stage. Murray demonstrates that, in this period, twin births were viewed as biologically aberrant and, because of this classification, authors frequently attempted to explain the phenomenon in ways that call into question the moral and constitutional standing of both the parents and the twins themselves. In line with current critical studies on pregnancy and the female body, discussions of twin births reveal a distrust of the mother and the processes surrounding twin conception; however, a correspond- ing suspicion of twins also emerges, which monstrous birth pamphlets exemplify. This book analyzes the representation of twins in early mod- ern drama in light of this information, moving from tragedies through to comedies. This progression demonstrates how the dramatic potential inherent in the early modern understanding of twinship is capitalized on by playwrights, as negative ideas about twins can be seen transitioning into tragic and tragicomic depictions of twinship. However, by building toward a positive, comic representation of twins, the work additionally suggests an alternate interpretation of twinship in this period, which appreciates and celebrates twins because of their difference.

  • Queer Television Thesis FINAL DRAFT Amended Date and Footnotes
    Queer British Television: Policy and Practice, 1997-2007 Natalie Edwards PhD thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham School of American and Canadian Studies, January 2010 Abstract Representations of gay, lesbian, queer and other non-heterosexualities on British terrestrial television have increased exponentially since the mid 1990s. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer characters now routinely populate mainstream series, while programmes like Queer as Folk (1999-2000), Tipping the Velvet (2002), Torchwood (2006-) and Bad Girls (1999-2006) have foregrounded specifically gay and lesbian themes. This increase correlates to a number of gay-friendly changes in UK social policy pertaining to sexual behaviour and identity, changes precipitated by the election of Tony Blair’s Labour government in 1997. Focusing primarily on the decade following Blair’s installation as Prime Minister, this project examines a variety of gay, lesbian and queer-themed British television programmes in the context of their political, cultural and industrial determinants, with the goal of bridging the gap between the cultural product and the institutional factors which precipitated its creation. Ultimately, it aims to establish how and why this increase in LGBT and queer programming occurred when it did by relating it to the broader, government-sanctioned integration of gays, lesbians and queers into the imagined cultural mainstream of the UK. Unlike previous studies of lesbian, gay and queer film and television, which have tended to draw conclusions about cultural trends purely through textual analysis, this project uses government and broadcasting industry policy documents as well as detailed examination of specific television programmes to substantiate links between the cultural product and the wider world.

    Crawford School of Public Policy TTPI Tax and Transfer Policy Institute Post-war tax reviews and the Asprey Blueprint TTPI - Working Paper 15/2020 November 2020 Paul Tilley Visiting Fellow Tax and Transfer Policy Institute, Crawford School of Public Policy The Australian National University Abstract After World War II, international attention turned to economic reconstruction and the transition back to peace-time. As Australia settled into the 1950s and 1960s ‘golden years’ there wasn’t an obvious imperative to tackle basic economic reform and tax design issues. Underlying structural problems were building, though, that would ultimately call for an economic reform agenda and tax would be part of that. This paper tracks these developments, looking at some limited tax reviews along the way but the main focus will be on the 1975 Asprey review which provided a blueprint for reform of the Australian tax system. Its recommendations for a capital gains tax, a fringe benefits tax, a foreign tax credit system, dividend imputation and a value added tax would take 25 years to implement. Keywords: tax, reform, economic, public finance, government * Sincere thanks to Greg Smith, Robert Carling, Geoff Leeper and Brant Pridmore as referees for the paper and to Professor Robert Breunig and Diane Paul at the TTPI for guiding the work and running the seminar on the paper.
