  • Dear Prime Minister, We Note with Concern the Increasingly Violent
    Dear Prime Minister, We note with concern the increasingly violent rhetoric directed towards Julian Assange of WikiLeaks. “We should treat Mr Assange the same way as other high-value terrorist targets: Kill him,” writes conservative columnist Jeffrey T Kuhner in the Washington Times. William Kristol, former chief of staff to vice president Dan Quayle, asks, “Why can’t we use our various assets to harass, snatch or neutralize Julian Assange and his collaborators, wherever they are?” “Why isn’t Julian Assange dead?” writes the prominent US pundit Jonah Goldberg. “The CIA should have already killed Julian Assange,” says John Hawkins on the Right Wing News site. Sarah Palin, a likely presidential candidate, compares Assange to an Al Qaeda leader; Rick Santorum, former Pennsylvania senator and potential presidential contender, accuses Assange of “terrorism”. And so on and so forth. Such calls cannot be dismissed as bluster. Over the last decade, we have seen the normalisation of extrajudicial measures once unthinkable, from ‘extraordinary rendition’ (kidnapping) to ‘enhanced interrogation’ (torture). In that context, we now have grave concerns for Mr Assange’s wellbeing. Irrespective of the political controversies surrounding WikiLeaks, Mr Assange remains entitled to conduct his affairs in safety, and to receive procedural fairness in any legal proceedings against him. As is well known, Mr Assange is an Australian citizen. We therefore call upon you to condemn, on behalf of the Australian Government, calls for physical harm to be inflicted upon Mr Assange, and to state publicly that you will ensure Mr Assange receives the rights and protections to which he is entitled, irrespective of whether the unlawful threats against him come from individuals or states.

  • Kitty Flanagan
    KITTY FLANAGAN Ever stood under glaring lights recounting your hopes, dreams, fears and most embarrassing moments to a room full of strangers in a desperate attempt to keep them entertained? Welcome to the terrifying world of stand up, which Kitty Flanagan has spent the past 20 years successfully navigating, proving herself as not only one of Australia’s best, but also most beloved comedians. Since first gracing Australian TV screens in ‘Full Frontal’ during the 90s, Kitty has appeared in numerous productions, performing regularly at comedy venues around Australia and internationally, and appearing on The Project, Have You Been Paying Attention, The Weekly and Utopia. Amanda meets up with Kitty to learn what life’s like under the spotlight (literally), discuss her new book, ‘Bridge Burning And Other Hobbies’, and discover more about this (inaccurately) self described ‘wallflower’. HELLO KITTY After attending Catholic school and developing a healthy disrespect for institutionalised religion, Kitty headed to university where she enjoyed studying a wide range of subjects, none of which had any relation to her current occupation. Once compulsory fee paying was introduced, Kitty flew the tertiary coop, bluffing her way into advertising and working as a copywriter. After her desperate attempts to get fired finally paid off, Kitty began pouring pints, working as a bartender at the Harold Park Hotel, which incidentally happened to run an open mic night. With a backlog of anecdotes and an inexplicable need to vent her deepest, darkest secrets in front of a room full of beer-swilling old men, Kitty spent nights honing her skills, quickly becoming a pub favourite.

Our commodity exports are still mainstays of our living standards but Australia’s economy is changing. As we move through the digital age, the services sector becomes more and more important as a source of output, employment and material prosperity. For the services sector to drive steadily rising living standards for all Australians – through higher wages and rising profits – it must generate steadily improving levels of productivity or output per worker. Only a highly productive services sector can sustain high-wage jobs and profitable businesses, large and small. Productivity in agriculture and manufacturing depends a great deal on scale and technological innovation. In the services sector, productivity depends on creativity and imagination, which in turn drive innovation. Increasingly the services sector is the home of start-ups aimed at finding innovative ways to deliver new and existing services to larger numbers of clients.

  • Kitty Flanagan
    Kitty Flanagan Quirky corporate comic & queen of stand up Kitty Flanagan is a comedian who is renowned for her quirky, offbeat observations. Kitty made her comedy television debut as a writer/performer on the popular Australian sketch comedy show Full Frontal. She has also written for and appeared in The Micallef Programme and The Fifty Foot Show. She pops up regularly on Australian television on shows including Good News Week, Rove and Spicks & Specks. In the US, she has appeared on Comedy Central, featuring in several series of The World Stands Up. In the UK, she has been seen on The Comedy Store Live, ITV’s The Sketch Show and The BBC Stand Up Show. A subtle and perceptive performer, she is expert when it comes to understanding her audience and tailoring her material to suit – making her the ideal comedian for your next corporate event, gala, awards night or launch. More about Kitty Flanagan; At school Kitty was a tiny, stick like child with very large front teeth and fuzzy hair. An acutely shy teenager, she spent her adolescent years staying in on Saturday nights watching Eight is Enough and Magnum P.I. Secretly Kitty wanted to be an actor, however she knew she would never survive acting school. Her inner voice wouldn’t shut up long enough to let her do serious things like Shakespeare or mime classes that required you to wave about like a sheaf of wheat in the wind or melt like an ice cream in the sun. She tried to be a P.E teacher for a while, this time ignoring her inner voice which was now screaming: You cannot be serious! (She was really into tennis and her inner voice had started to sound a lot like John McEnroe.) Advertising beckoned next as it seemed like the job that paid the most money for the least amount of qualifications.
