BTN: Episode 27 Transcript 19/09/17 BTN: Episode 27 Transcript 19/09/17 Hi, I'm Amelia. Welcome to this week’s BTN! Coming up today: • We meet some kids from Florida whose home was in the path of Hurricane Irma. • Find out why school uniforms have been making the news. • And learn more about the famous Aussies on our new ten-dollar notes. First, let's have a look at some of the big stories that've been making headlines over the past week. This Week in News World leaders have criticised North Korea for firing a missile over Japan last week. It landed in the Pacific Ocean, around 2 thousand kays east of the island of Hokkaido. While no-one was hurt, many leaders said it was a dangerous and threatening thing to do. It came just a few days after the UN security council decided to bring in new sanctions against North Korea. Sanctions are trade restrictions and they were designed to pressure North Korea into stopping its nuclear weapons program. Now, leaders will meet to talk about what they're going to do next. The Cassini spacecraft has ended its epic mission to explore Saturn. These were the final pictures it took before plunging into the planet's atmosphere on Friday night. The Deep Space Communication Complex in Canberra picked up the last radio contact. COMMENTATOR: Hanging on, it's gone. ©ABC 2017 GLEN NAGLE, CSIRO: I think it was a bittersweet moment. It’s not like losing a family, friend or anything, it’s the end of the greatest TV show you’ve ever watched. On the other side of the world NASA scientists said goodbye. NASA SCIENTIST: This has been an incredible mission, an incredible spacecraft and you're all an incredible team. They said, since it was launched 20 years ago Cassini has changed our understanding of Saturn and it's many moons. Aussie actress Rebel Wilson has been awarded a record pay-out from the magazine publisher which was found guilty of defaming her. Bauer Media published a series of articles which said Rebel had lied but the court found that wasn't true and that the articles had damaged her reputation. It ordered the company to pay more than 4.5 million dollars which is the biggest defamation payout in Aussie history. Rebel says she'll give some money to charity and some to the Australian film industry. And some of Australia's best young artists have been recognised in this year's Young Archie awards. They're the junior version of the Archibald which is a really famous portrait prize. The youngest award winner was eight-year-old Poppy who drew herself. Claire took out the 8 to 12-year-old category with this portrait of her cousin And Jessica won the 13-15 award with this picture of her sister Eva. JESSICA: Well, I wanted to capture a whole other side to her because usually we usually see her laughing and smiling, she’s so bubbly and colourful. I wanted to show a more solemn thoughtful side of her. The 16-18-year-old section was taken out by Chantelle who painted her mum. CHANTELLE: I did it to show gratitude for everything she’s done for me, all her support. The judges said they were really impressed by all of this year’s entries. ©ABC 2017 Hurricane Irma Recovery Reporter: Ruby Cornish INTRO: People in the Caribbean and the US have been cleaning up after Hurricane Irma. It was one of the biggest storms ever to hit the region and it affected tens of thousands of people. We've caught up with some kids from Florida who are still waiting to go back home. Take a look. It's been a big week for sisters Gaby and Bella. While they've been here in North Carolina, their home state Florida faced one of the most powerful Atlantic hurricanes ever recorded. BELLA: When I first heard the hurricane was coming it made me feel frightened because I realised I could have lost my whole house and everything I owned. Gaby and Bella weren't alone. Tens of thousands of people left Florida as the storm approached. These guys spent a day driving to their holiday house with their family and their super cute doggo Chelsey. GABY: She was very excited, I don't think she knew there was a hurricane really coming. With so many people preparing for the storm, supermarkets were cleaned out pretty quickly. GABY: I knew there was not going to be a lot of the water left but the whole aisle, everything from the bottles to the smallest things of water, it was all gone. BELLA: And during the evacuation some cars were just left on the road because there wasn't enough gas to fill them and get them places. From the safety of North Carolina, Bella and Gaby watched the story unfold on TV. They know they were lucky compared to some other people. Irma did huge amounts of damage in places like Cuba where people are still coming to terms with what's happened. WOMAN IN CUBA: I have lost everything. All my appliances, the furniture. Everything is wet. The cushions, the clothes and here I am waiting for help. A third of all the buildings on the island Saint Martin, a Dutch Territory in the Caribbean Sea, were flattened by the storm. ©ABC 2017 RESIDENT: The situation in our neighbourhood, there's a lot of roofs gone, a lot of people lost their homes, cars are destroyed, all the trees are down. Last week, the king of the Netherlands, Willem Alexander, visited to have a look at the damage and meet residents. WILLEM ALEXANDER: We are doing our best to help everybody who needs assistance. The president of France, Emmanuel Macron, was there too visiting French territories in the Caribbean. EMMANNUEL MACRON: What I want to do is to have a very fast recovery. Meanwhile in the US, Gaby and Bella are waiting until traffic into Florida eases up before they head back home. BELLA: The power of many places is still gone and there's not food so hopefully once the power is generated to the east coast of Florida, supermarkets can get food shipments, gas stations can get gas. They still don't know exactly what they'll find there, but they've heard promising news about their neighbourhood. GABY: Not like really bad but it's a few feet of flooding. GABY: We're very happy that nothing happened to our house or community that really damaged it really hard. There's only easy to fix damage and all our friends and family are okay. School Uniform Debate Reporter: Nic Maher INTRO: Now to a story about school uniforms! What you wear to class has been in the news recently because of some new rules brought in by the Western Australian government. It's made it compulsory for state schools to let girls wear pants, rather than skirts, if they prefer and now Victoria's thinking of bringing in similar laws. Let's have a look. STUDENT 1: I like our school colours they're blue red and white and they look really nice in the uniform Like many kids around Australia. These guys go to a school with a strict uniform policy. STUDENT 2: We're not allowed to wear any socks that aren't the school socks and we've got to wear a hat during summer so that’s term 1 and term 4. ©ABC 2017 But when it come to the girls’ uniform there are a few options. They can choose to either wear pants or skirts. STUDENT 1: I just like the skirts because they're just what I've been wearing and I'm sort of use to it. STUDENT 3: Well I really like the pants because they're really comfortable and to me they look really good. While lots of other schools have a similar policy it's not the case everywhere. At some schools, girls’ uniforms mean dresses and skirts. While the boys wear shorts and pants and that's been causing a lot of debate. Recently a study from the University of Melbourne found that there was more chance of kids being active at lunchtime if they were wearing shorts or pants. LAURE ROSEWARNE, UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE: Research shows that you're more likely to be running around at lunch times if you're wearing shorts or pants as opposed to something like a dress which is more restrictive. It's something these girls are pretty passionate about uniforms. SOPHIA: Hi I'm Sophia SOPHIE: And I'm Sophie SOPHIA: And we're both 11 and from Perth SOPHIA: Sophie and I believe girls should have the option of wearing shorts or trousers at school. Recently Sophia wrote a letter to the Western Australia Education Minister. Saying it wasn't fair that she wasn't allowed to wear shorts or pants except during PE. SOPHIA: A few months later we got a call from the education department and they told us that they were going to change the policy and that was really good news for me, my mum and all my friends. Not only did Sophia's school change its policy, Western Australia's government made it compulsory for all state's public schools to offer girls a choice between dresses and pants and last week Victoria said it might bring in similar rules. The group called 'Girls Uniform Agenda' is campaigning for other states to follow.

Many of Australia’s greatest radio serials were produced during the 1940s. Among those listed in this guide are the Sunday night one-hour plays - The Lux Radio Theatre and The Macquarie Radio Theatre (becoming the Caltex Theatre after 1947); the many Jack Davey Shows, and The Bob Dyer Show; the Colgate Palmolive variety extravaganzas, headed by Calling the Stars, The Youth Show and McCackie Mansion, which starred the outrageously funny Mo (Roy Rene). Fine drama programs produced in Sydney in the 1940s included The Library of the Air and Max Afford's serial Hagen's Circus. Among the comedy programs listed from this decade are the George Wallace Shows, and Mrs 'Obbs with its hilariously garbled language.

    THE MAOe gPARK 50 YEARS OF RADIO IN AUSTRALIA R.R.WALKER One of the amenities which our modern world takes so much for granted is radio. Yet it is a highly complex and sophisticatedbusi- ness which requires technical pro- ficiency,outstanding personalities and polished showmanship. Radio in Australia began fifty years ago with crystal sets and pri- vate licences. In a comparatively short time it has developed into a vast wave of sound which rolls in from widely separated cities and towns throughout the country. To celebrate radio's Golden Jubi- lee, R. R. Walker, who has had much to do with the world of radio, has set down here a full and col- ourful description of this popular medium. He recalls the challenges of War and television;the financial and production triumphs and failures; the characters - Jack Davey, Bob Dyer, Norman Banks - and count- less other guests, invited and un- invited, to Australian living rooms. More than a history, this book is alsoa personal record of times past and present - and a forecast of things to come. Jacket Design: 0. J.

  • Ephemera Collection Finding Aid
    EPHEMERA COLLECTION FINDING AID J.C. Williamson theatre programs Performing Arts Programs and Ephemera (PROMPT) Australian Collection Development James Cassius Williamson was an American actor who immigrated to Australia in the 1870s. Along with business partners, such as William Musgrove, his theatre company became one of the most dominant in colonial Australia. After his death in 1913 the company, now named J. C. Williamson Ltd. continued under the direction of George Tallis and the Tait brothers (who remained involved in the company until the 1970s). J. C. Williamson continued to be one of the biggest theatre companies in Australia throughout the first three quarters of the 20th century. J. C. Williamson held the license for theatres in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and New Zealand (at times more than one theatre in each city). In 1976 the company closed, but the name was licensed until the mid 1980s. This list includes pantomimes held in J. C. Williamson theatres, as well as those produced by J. C. Williamson and performed in other theatres under venue hire arrangements. The list also includes libretti for overseas pantomime productions collected by J. C. Williamson for their corporate archive. Content Printed materials in the PROMPT collection include programs and printed ephemera such as brochures, leaflets, tickets, etc. Theatre programs are taken as the prime documentary evidence of a performance staged by the J.C. Williamson company. In a few cases however, the only evidence of a performance is a piece of printed ephemera. In these cases the type of piece is identified, eg, brochure. Please note that the list also includes programs for some films, as well as programs for overseas productions of plays collected by J.
