    2017 Exchange of Letters Between RR and ABC Management About

    Rory Robertson August 2017 2017 exchange of letters between RR and ABC management about whether or not secret ABC investigation into Lateline’s Australian Paradox report should be available on ABC’s website Readers, I think you should be aware that professional scientists from the University of Sydney in May 2016 wrote a 36-page formal letter of complaint about Emma Alberici’s ABC TV Lateline report that shredded the credibility of their extraordinarily faulty Australian Paradox paper http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2015/s4442720.htm In September 2016, Professor Jennie Brand-Miller and Dr Alan Barclay were advised via a 15-page official ABC response that an independent Audience and Consumer Affairs (A&CA) investigation had confirmed the Lateline report to be accurate and impartial on all reported matters of fact. Last November, I requested a copy of the secret ABC report. So far, the ABC has chosen to suppress the report. Readers, I'm arguing on public-health grounds that (i) it is in the community's interest to know that Professor Brand-Miller and Dr Barclay wrote a 36-page formal letter of complaint about the Lateline report that shredded the credibility of their Australian Paradox “finding”; and (ii) the community should be allowed to know that the ABC’s formal investigation confirmed the accuracy of reports of profound flaws, including the paper’s use of fake data. Unfortunately, after being advised of the profound problems, instead of properly correcting the formal scientific record, Brand-Miller and Barclay have continued to pretend that their widely-cited paper is essentially flawless.

    Joan Kirner Social Justice Oration 2020

    Joan Kirner Social Justice Oration 2020 Presentation by Paul Bongiorno, AM Journalist, Social Justice Advocate Communities in Control Conference Online, Monday/Tuesday, November 17, 2020 Video and audio versions of this speech are available at www.communitiesincontrol.com.au About the presentation: Paul Bongiorno is a veteran political journalist and commentator. After leaving the priesthood in 1974, he began working in television, winning four Walkley Awards for his investigative journalism. He hosted Ten’s national Sunday morning show, Meet the Press, from 1996 to 2012, and in more recent times has been a regular contributor to The Saturday Paper and commentator on ABC Radio National Breakfast. Bongiorno was made a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for his service to the print and broadcast media as a journalist, political commentator and editor. Paul Bongiorno: I must say I am no fan of this brave new world of virtual conferences. It robs you of the ability to read the room and feel the vibe. But at the outset the fact that you are all here with me, virtually, means we are at least at the same departure point – the one outlined by Joan Kirner herself in her 2012 oration: “We are ready; we are passionate; we are brave enough to continue to work together to shape a socially just nation.” I last saw Joan Kirner in person in 1991 when she attended a Premier’s Conference in Canberra. I was there covering it as a political correspondent for Network Ten. The conference coincided with the launching of Paul Keating’s lunge at Bob Hawke for the leadership of the Labor Party and therefore the Prime Ministership of Australia.

  • The Finkelstein Inquiry: Miscarried Media Regulation Moves Miss Golden Reform Opportunity

    The Finkelstein Inquiry: Miscarried Media Regulation Moves Miss Golden Reform Opportunity

    Vol 4 The Western Australian Jurist 23 THE FINKELSTEIN INQUIRY: MISCARRIED MEDIA REGULATION MOVES MISS GOLDEN REFORM OPPORTUNITY * JOSEPH M FERNANDEZ Laws are generally found to be nets of such a texture, as the little creep through, the great break through, and the middle-sized are alone entangled in.1 Abstract The Australian media’s nervous wait for the outcome of media regulation reform initiatives came to an abrupt and ignominious end in March 2013 as the moves collapsed. The Federal Government withdrew a package of Bills at the eleventh hour, when it became apparent that the Bills would not garner the required support in parliament. These Bills were preceded by two major media inquiries – the Convergence Review and the Independent Media Inquiry – culminating in reports released in 2012. The latter initiative contained sweeping reform recommendations, including one for the formation of a government-funded ‘super regulator’ called the News Media Council, which the media generally feared would spell doom especially for those engaged in the ‘news’ business. This article examines the origins of the Independent Media Inquiry; the manner of the inquiry’s conduct; what problem the inquiry was seeking to address; the consequent recommendations; and ultimately, the manoeuvres for legislative action and the reform initiative’s demise. This article concludes that the Independent Media Inquiry was flawed from the outset and * Head of Journalism, Curtin University. This article is developed from a presentation by the author to the Threats to Freedom of Speech Conference hosted by the Murdoch University Law School on 12 October 2012 at Perth, Western Australia.

For each edition of each program, the top three subjects of discussion will be identified, based on the time spent discussing each topic/issue. In other words, the top three items will be those to which the program devoted the most amount of time. This may include a range of different items under one topic (for example, an interview with a Minister on a specific policy followed by a reaction from a stakeholder and then followed by talkback from listeners, all on the same subject, would together count as one item). The reviewer will also be provided with a summary of the top issues/topics that Australians consider most relevant and important to them.

    KENNEDY AWARDS Excellence in Australian Journalism

    KENNEDY AWARDS Excellence in Australian Journalism 10th Anniversary Sponsorship Prospectus DIMITY CLANCEY AND LAURA MANGHAM OF A CURRENT AFFAIR WIN THE 2020 MIKE WILLESEE AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING NIGHTLY CURRENT AFFAIRS THE HISTORY OF THE KENNEDY AWARDS NAMED after the trailblazing indigenous journalist Les Kennedy, the Kennedy Awards were initially conceived in 2011 to recognise excellence in New South Wales journalism. Almost immediately the Kennedys were shaped by the nature of the entrants - attracting journalists from the likes of Four Corners, 60 Minutes, The Australian, A Current Affair, 730 Report, SBS and the Financial Review to become a truly independent, national celebration of Australian journalism. The awards were created by journalists for journalists - open to all-comers with no agendas or historical obligation to affiliation. A decade later the Kennedys have become the Australian media's night of nights - celebrated for their inclusiveness, independence, respect for the past and the value of fostering the next generation of the nation's finest journalists. SANDRA SALLY (RIGHT) PRESENTS THE HARRY POTTER AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING TV NEWS REPORTING J U N E 2 0 2 0 . Les Kennedy THE INSPIRATION OF THE KENNEDY AWARDS Les Kennedy was never in the officers' mess of journalism - and nor did he want to be. He loved nothing better than excelling on the road as a leader of other "shoe leather" journalists. Proud of his indigenous heritage, Les' awareness of his past and the pride he took in it were the twin chambers of a big, generous heart. It was his fabled generosity that fuelled a selfless devotion to a long list of protégés.
