Natasha Exelby Leaves Ten Breakfast Show Wake up Date November 20, 2013 Megan Levy and Madeleine Heffernan Natasha Exelby leaves Ten breakfast show Wake Up Date November 20, 2013 Megan Levy and Madeleine Heffernan Sydney Morning Herald Natasha Exelby is leaving her role as co-host of Network Ten's new breakfast television program Wake Up less than three weeks after the show's launch. Adam Boland, the director of morning television at the network, announced the 30-year-old's departure on Wednesday morning, saying that "chemistry is everything at breakfast and, right now, I don't think the balance is correct. It's up to producers to fix those things." He said Exelby would remain with Network Ten's News division, while Wake Up would continue to be hosted by Natarsha Belling and James Mathison. "I rate Natasha, Natarsha and James extremely highly individually, otherwise they wouldn't have been there in the first place," Boland said in a statement. "I also saw genuine spark during show rehearsals, but sometimes, that doesn't translate on air. That is nobody's fault, except mine. "Natasha is a dear friend. She is also genuinely talented and will remain a key part of Ten into the future." Exelby grew up near Kingaroy in Queensland, where parents Russell and Wendy Exelby still live. "She's been in touch," Mr Exelby said, when contacted by Fairfax Media. "She's fine, and keen to move on with her life." It is the latest blow for the television program, which only launched on November 4. Experts had predicted that Wake Up's arrival could be costly for the Seven and Nine shows, with Seven cementing its lead recently after parachuting in Samantha Armytage as Sunrise co-host. But disastrous early ratings for the show revealed the audience had dropped below 40,000 viewers by its second day. At the start of this week, it had sunk to 27,000. Channel Nine's Today had more than 12 times as many viewers while Seven's Sunrise had an audience 14 times bigger. Network Ten CEO Hamish McLennan went on the defensive of his morning shows Wake Up and Studio 10 in Melbourne today. "There's a lot of static around those shows. It's a two-year deal for us so in no way did we think we were going to do anything more than the numbers we got," he said. "We felt it was important for us, and you look at the success of Today and Sunrise, and as Adam Boland — who is a terrific EP and a great creative person — likes to say it's 'the window to the network'. "And if just you look at how successfully Channel Nine and Seven have been able to cross-promote their shows from the morning, and people turning on their television and watching those shows, they carry that audience right throughout the day." He said it was "very early days" for the shows and Ten was committed to live programming. "We couldn't be in a business where we were continuing to run re-runs of old shows and not have higher rating shows ... we have to have more shows," he said. "I think Studio 10 is terrific and it's very topical and I think that the line-up of stars is great. We need to do a little bit of work on Wake Up but we're really happy with the setting and we know that it's a very difficult timezone to operate effectively. "And so we're just going to continue to work those formats until we get them into an optimal state, but we're not walking away from them at all." Just three days after Wake Up's launch, Boland went on indefinite sick leave. Friends and colleagues admitted to being worried about Boland's stress levels because of the sheer level of work he was putting in to the creation of Ten's new brands. On Wednesday, Boland said there would not be any changes at Network Ten's new morning show, Studio 10. - with Natalie Bochenski, Michael Lallo .

    PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE BEYOND JOURNALISM: INFOTAINMENT, SATIRE AND AUSTRALIAN TELEVISION STEPHEN HARRINGTON BCI(Media&Comm), BCI(Hons)(MediaSt) Submitted April, 2009 For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology, Australia 1 2 STATEMENT OF ORIGINAL AUTHORSHIP The work contained in this thesis has not been previously submitted to meet requirements for an award at this or any other higher education institution. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference is made. _____________________________________________ Stephen Matthew Harrington Date: 3 4 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the changing relationships between television, politics, audiences and the public sphere. Premised on the notion that mediated politics is now understood “in new ways by new voices” (Jones, 2005: 4), and appropriating what McNair (2003) calls a “chaos theory” of journalism sociology, this thesis explores how two different contemporary Australian political television programs (Sunrise and The Chaser’s War on Everything) are viewed, understood, and used by audiences. In analysing these programs from textual, industry and audience perspectives, this thesis argues that journalism has been largely thought about in overly simplistic binary terms which have failed to reflect the reality of audiences’ news consumption patterns. The findings of this thesis suggest that both ‘soft’ infotainment (Sunrise) and ‘frivolous’ satire (The Chaser’s War on Everything) are used by audiences in intricate ways as sources of political information, and thus these TV programs (and those like them) should be seen as legitimate and valuable forms of public knowledge production.

    Acting Strategically: Skilled Communication by Australian Refugee Advocacy Groups Roumen Dimitrov — School of Communication Arts, University of Western Sydney, Australaia Abstract This paper discusses the major strategies and tactics of five refugee advocacy organisations in Australia: the Refugee Council of Australia (RCA), Australian Refugee Rights Alliance (ARRA), A Just Australia (AJA), Rural Australia for Refugees (RAR) and Children out of Detention (ChilOut). Along many others, those organisations played a critical role in the Australian refugee movement in 2001–2005. The success of that movement is to a degree to explain with refugee groups adopting modern and more efficient techniques of lobbying and public campaigns. The paper uses the concept of communication capital to describe the accumulation of symbolic capacity such as strategic positioning and information credibility (authority). Especially significant are the combinations of strategic positioning and tactical efficiency borrowed from Michael Porter. The main conclusion is cautiously optimistic. Even small and unofficial advocacy groups can be influential if they act strategically, provided they know how to accumulate communication capital (legitimacy and credibility as an information source based on message and media strategies) capital and make use of the professional skills of their volunteers. [Epigraph] ACTIVIST:We are issue-driven, not spin-driven. We do not need spin doctoring because we are morally right. We are honest; we tell the truth. And truth, you know, is contagious. PRACTITIONER: You may be right, but you are also ignorant – if not arrogant. You think truth is like a bug: if you are sick enough, others would catch it, too. You are confusing influence with influenza.

  • Captain's Report
    CAPTAIN’S REPORT This could become a rainfall report rather the Captain’s Report however rainfall does have a direct impact on our golf course from a play perspective as well as turf management. Cyclone Marcia certainly delivered the rainfall that was predicted with 199mm falling over the weekend. I have attached photographs of the Ladies 6th Hole (19th Hole) where there appears to be a river emerging from the front of the green, the 12th green approach with the water level lapping the edge of the green and the 18th creek where it cuts in front of the Ladies tee. Luckily we didn’t receive the associated winds so there was little damage to the vegetation around the golf course. Tree work does however continue, the Arborist and tree gang have been busy too carrying out work around the golf course with the removal of dead wood and unsafe trees. Unfortunately the Casuarina cunninghamiana, commonly known as She Oak, located on the right hand side of the 9th fairway 90 metres from the centre of the green, was badly damaged by lightning during the storm event in January and is one of the trees that has been lost. This will be replaced with another Casuarina to maintain the theme and some history. Interesting to note, Casuarina species were planted on the front nine as distance markers while Melaleuca leucadendra (Weeping Paperbark) were planted on the back nine as distance markers. Originally, the golf course was built for a Japanese company so the trees indicate ‘yardage’ … Single specimens are located 100yards (90 metres) from the centre of the green, where there are two trees they are located 150 yards (135 metres) from the centre of the green.

We managed to talk to a few of the fireys from a distance and had Whenasimple our grandchildren wave and clap as others drove back out to continue the fight. I passed one young man walking down the street one afternoon, face and hands blackened from dirt and ash, and asked to shake his hand to say thank you. He asked if I was a local and he told me I needed to thank all the fireys who came to help from outside, because Mallacoota wouldn’t have survived without them.

How grateful I am thankyoudoesnot to all those men and women firefighters — they saved the township of Mallacoota and our lives.

  • The House of Representatives Results Ben Raue
    7 The House of Representatives Results Ben Raue At the 2016 Australian federal election, the first-term Liberal–National Coalition government faced a significant swing against it, suffering a net loss of 12 seats. The government managed to win a narrow majority, with just 76 out of 150 seats. This chapter covers the results of the election in the House of Representatives, focusing on key electoral contests, as well as explaining the electoral system used for the House of Representatives, redistributions conducted prior to the elections, by-elections held during the previous term, the number of nominations made for the House of Representatives and the impact of preferences on the election result. Electoral system The House of Representatives is the lower house of Australia’s bicameral parliament. Elections are usually held simultaneously with elections for the upper house (Senate), although Senate elections are conducted using a method of proportional representation. House of Representatives elections are due once every three years. Australia’s House of Representatives consists of 150 members, each elected to represent a single-member constituency. Members are elected using compulsory preferential voting, with voters required to effectively choose preferences between every candidate on the ballot. If no candidate wins more than half of the vote, 159 DOUBLE DISILLUSION the vote for the lowest-polling candidate is redistributed according to the preferences of that candidate’s voters, and this process is repeated until a candidate has a majority of the vote. Due to this preferential voting system, this chapter will refer to the vote for candidates before and after preferences are distributed.
