  • Nine Response to Mr Anthony Klan
    30 March 2021 Mr Nicholas Craft Standing Committee on Environment and Communications Department of the Senate PO Box 6100 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Attention: Nicholas Craft By email: [email protected] Private & Confidential Dear Mr Craft Re: Inquiry into Media Diversity in Australia We refer to your email dated 16 March 2021 which attached Anthony Klan’s submission on Media Diversity in Australia. Nine denies the allegations contained in Mr Klan’s submissions, and in particular, Nine vehemently denies any allegation that Nine receives payment in return for favourable coverage or conversely payment for protecting individuals or companies from damaging media coverage. Nine maintains strong editorial independence across all of its platforms. Nine’s news, whether it be delivered by television, radio, print or online, is subject to the following standards which require editorial independence, disclosure of commercial arrangements, impartiality and accuracy: - Commercial Television Industry Code of Practice; - Commercial Radio Code of Practice; and - Australian Press Council Standards of Practice When Nine acquired the Fairfax publications (The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Australian Financial Review, The Brisbane Times, WA Today), Nine agreed to commit to the Fairfax Media Charter of Editorial Independence at a Nine Board and Management level. This was confirmed in the materials publicly released by Fairfax as part of the scheme of arrangement under which Nine acquired Fairfax in 2018. There is no physical document which needs to be signed, to establish this commitment. This is something which I am instructed we have communicated to Mr Klan previously, and which he has failed to disclose in his submissions.

  • Fact, Fiction and Australian Politics 19Th Manning Clark Lecture
    Secret City: Fact, Fiction and Australian politics 19th Manning Clark Lecture RN Robertson Lecture Theatre, Building 46, ANU 7pm 12 July Speaker: Chris Uhlmann The Prime Minister likes to paraphrase Mark Twain saying, “only fiction has to be credible”. Perhaps that’s because he has lived through the incredible last decade of Australian politics. In 2008 Kevin Rudd was in his first year as PM, enjoying a 70 per cent approval rating and, apparently, settling in for a long run. In November that year, Barack Obama was elected President of the United States and America looked like it would finally become the land it imagined itself to be. What went wrong? Come and find out the details, insights and perspectives! Chris Uhlmann is a leading Australian political journalist. After many years working for the ABC, in August 2017, Uhlmann moved to Nine News replacing Laurie Oakes. He had previously held the positions of the political editor for the 7.30 report, 14th presenter of AM for ABC radio and ABC News political editor. In 2008, Uhlmann received the Walkley Award for Broadcast Interviewing. With Steve Lewis, Uhlmann has written a series of political novels set in Canberra: The Marmalade Files (2012), The Mandarin Code (2014) and The Shadow Game (2016). These feature a political reporter, Harry Dunkley, investigating a conspiracy involving China, the USA and Australian security organisations. In 2016 the first two books were adapted as the Australian television series Secret City.
