We’ve had so much to worry about in the last six months that it’s time to re- ignite the passion for diversity and equality in the workplace, re-ignite our desires to move up and be seen, re-ignite the fire for pay equality and shared parental responsibility. Let’s create our own opportunities while helping and inspiring those around us. Let’s face it. A lot of companies say they are more committed to gender equality than ever before. But we’ve just had the most disruptive time in modern history. What will this mean in the fight for equality. We still have a severe lack of women in senior roles, especially the C-Suite.

Have you ever been in a car travelling very fast on a highway and thought about jerking the steering wheel to the side? Me neither. That would be crazy. But a character who follows through on those impulses and doesn’t give a damn about the consequences was the starting point of this play. Kimberly is dangerous because she is fearless.

  • Who's Got It, Who's Lost It, and Who's Behind the Scenes
    Trump v the swamp Mike Baird Ninja Warriors Leaks flood the White House Why I quit politics TV’s hit machine brothers OCTOBER 2017 POWER 2017 Who’s got it, who’s lost it, and who’s behind the scenes 8 LEAH PURCELL Actor, playwright, director Because: She allows white audiences to see from an Aboriginal perspective. Her radical adaptation of Henry Lawson’s The Drover’s Wife broke new ground for Australian theatre. Among its string of awards was the NSW Premier’s Literary Award for best drama, whose judges described it as “a declaration of war on Australia’s wilful historical amnesia”. Purcell, a Goa-Gunggari-Wakka Wakka Murri woman, uses the full arsenal of drama to tell new stories. In 2016 she co-directed Cleverman, which screened on ABC TV and meshed Aboriginal dreamtime stories into contemporary sci-fi genre. She also co-directed The Secret Daughter, which screened on Seven Network last year and has now been signed for a second series. Starring Jessica Mauboy, it marks the first time a commercial network has put an Indigenous Australian as the lead in a drama series. Season one was the second-highest rating drama for the year. What the panel says: She’s an Indigenous woman with a very political view. The Drover’s Wife was an incredible achievement and will make for a brilliant film. She also has two mainstream TV series on air and she’s winning every single award. – Graeme Mason The Drover’s Wife told the story in a completely different way to which it has been told before.

[email protected] Dear Justice Coate, Please find below my answers to the questions put to me as a part of the Board of Inquiry into the COVID-19 Hotel Quarantine Program. 1. What is your relevant professional background and work history? I studied at the University of Melbourne Medical School and graduated M.B.B.S. in 1982. In 1989, I was awarded fellowship of Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and the Royal Australian College of Ophthalmologists. In 2007, I graduated from the Australian Institute of Company Directors and was awarded full fellowship of the Institute in 2008, given my extensive experience as a Director, especially via the Board of a regulated medical indemnity insurance company. Between 1989 and late 1991, I trained in the United States of America. I received sponsorship for my fellowship training from both the Royal Melbourne Hospital (for Case Western Reserve University and University Hospitals of Cleveland, Ohio), along with the University of Melbourne (for Washington University and Barnes Hospital, St Louis, Missouri) respectively. I was also supported to attend the 8th annual summer program in Epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health during June and July of 1990 where I was trained in epidemiology and biostatistics. I have been involved in research and teaching at the University of Melbourne since 1991 and have held the position of Associate Professor, within the University Department of Surgery since 2005.

  • Essential Media's Global Elevation
    04 June 2018 ESSENTIAL MEDIA’S GLOBAL ELEVATION In terms of any business benchmark, Essential Media and Entertainment has had a sterling year, capped off by two significant multi-million-dollar transactions for both its scripted and unscripted arms. In the context of Australian media business success metrics, however, it has been exceptional. Yet to take a line from Rake’s Cleaver Greene, Essential co-founder Chris Hilton could still find ways to out-Nietzsche you at five paces. Hilton founded Essential with a love of factual story telling at its heart and global audience reach in its DNA and built it with co-founders Sonja Armstrong and Ian Collie into a documentary and drama powerhouse that has not only produced a slate of the most progressive and game shifting documentary and drama but developed and nurtured a generation of Australian talent on both the production and creative realms. But for a man whose first filmed creative endeavour was climbing Sydney Tower, illegally, and immortalising it in the 1987 work, Aspire, Hilton’s quest remains uncharted. In September last year, Fremantle Media procured Essential’s drama division. The scripted unit, headed by Collie, created a prodigious and consistently sophisticated slate powered by the pool of Australia’s best writing and directing talent (Peter Duncan, Andrew Knight, Daniel Nethiem, Kriv Stenders, et al.), producing Jack Irish, Rake, Doctor Doctor and The Principal. As part of the deal Collie exited the company to set up a re-branded, drama production house Easy Tiger, majority-owned by FremantleMedia. In April, Canadian stock exchange listed, Kew Media Group swooped on Essential Quail Media Group, a JV with producer Greg Quail, for an initial AUD$32.8 million ($20.0 million cash and $12.8 million in shares).
