  • Two of Us: Shane Withington and Suzette Meade
    Upfront I was a neurotic mess by the time the Currawong campaign was won, which makes me wary for Suzette. I always end our calls say- ing, “Look after yourself and don’t burn out.” But she seems to be able to handle the pressure. We get on really well, except she doesn’t answer the phone when I want her to, and when I suggest letting off flares, she doesn’t reply, so it doesn’t happen. But I’ll mention it again, and if it still doesn’t happen, I’ll let flares off without her knowing. UZETTE: I was on maternity leave with Smy second child in 2015 when the NSW government development proposal for 6500 apartments and a retail complex in the Cumberland Hospital precinct reared its head. I went to the North Parramatta Residents Action Group’s first meeting, and was nominated to head the action against the development. Shane was the MC for a Crown land summit at NSW Parliament House. I knew of Shane from when he played nurse Brendan Jones on A Country Practice. Summing up, he said, “We all need to get involved with the Female Factory, because that is too precious to lose.” Afterwards, I thanked him for highlighting our plight in Parramatta. He gave me his num- ber, and said to ring if he could help. I contacted Shane several times, but he was always filming. In 2017, after an Aboriginal land claim had removed a third of the land, a TWO OF US development application was lodged for subdi- STORY BY Rosamund Burton PHOTOGRAPH BY Joshua Morris vision of the site for 2900 units and a retail complex, with 1100 units deferred.

Public broadcast organisations must adopt novel strategies to survive and compete in this new environment, where they need to combine public service with popularity. In this context, scheduling has emerged as the central management tool, organising production and controlling budgets, and is now the driving force in television.

  • 15 February 2010
    15 February 2010 AUSTRALIAN CALENDAR GIRLS ANNOUNCED Leading Australian theatre producer John Frost today announced the all-star cast of women who will bring the British hit comedy CALENDAR GIRLS to life on the Australian stage, with the Australian Première at QPAC’s Lyric Theatre, Brisbane. Australia’s “Calendar Girls” are Lorraine Bayly, Rachel Berger, Rhonda Burchmore, Cornelia Frances, Jean Kittson, Anna Lee and Amanda Muggleton. John Frost said, “We searched far and wide, talking to nearly every actress of ‘a certain age’, and have found an incredible group of woman to bring the most successful British comedy of the past decade to the Australian stage. Calendar Girls is not only hilarious but also profoundly moving and uplifting. UK audiences couldn’t get enough of the show and we’re sure Australian audiences are going to fall in love with it too.” CALENDAR GIRLS is based on the very successful film of the same name starring Helen Mirren and Julie Walters, which in turn was based on an uplifting and inspiring true story that is quirky, poignant and hilarious. A group of ordinary middle-aged women, members of a very ordinary Yorkshire Women’s Institute, do something quite extraordinary. They spark a global phenomenon by persuading one another to pose for a charity calendar with a difference! As interest snowballs, the Calendar Girls find themselves revealing more than they'd ever planned... CALENDAR GIRLS has played to sold-out audiences on the West End for well over a year, and is the fastest selling regional tour in British theatre history.
