AUSTRALIAN NEWSPAPER HISTORY GROUP NEWSLETTER ISSN 1443-4962 No. 25 December 2003 Compiled for the ANHG by Rod Kirkpatrick, 13 Sumac Street, Middle Park, Qld, 4074, 07-3279 2279, [email protected] 25.1 COPY DEADLINE AND WEBSITE ADDRESS Deadline for next Newsletter: 15 February 2004. Subscription details appear at end of Newsletter. [Number 1 appeared October 1999.] The Newsletter is online through the “Publications” link from the University of Queensland’s School of Journalism & Communication Website at www.uq.edu.au/journ-comm/ and through the ePrint Archives at the University of Queensland at http://eprint.uq.edu.au/), 25.2 SISTER ACT: BRISBANE BROADSHEET THINKS TABLOID Queensland Newspapers Pty Ltd is watching the progress of the so-called “mini-Indy”, the tabloid version of London’s broadsheet Independent, with a view to attempting a “mini-Mail”, a tabloid version of the Courier-Mail. The tabloid Indy exceeded expectations when it boosted overall sales of the Independent by 30,000 on its first day. It sold 42,000 copies of an 80,000 print run while sales of the broadsheet dipped 12,000. Queensland Newspapers managing director Jerry Harris believes the broadsheet/tabloid sister act could give the company the best of both worlds and act as a disincentive to Fairfax ambitions in the north. It could assist the company in some of the lower-circulation areas for the Courier-Mail, such as Brisbane’s south-west and regional Queensland (David Nason, ‘Independent’s tabloid turnaround gets Brisbane broadsheet thinking’, Australian, Media liftout, 30 October 2003, p.3). -

The Case for a Commonwealth Anti-Corruption And
Closing the Gap: The Case for a Commonwealth Anti-Corruption and Misconduct Commission Brian Toohey Australasian Study of Parliament Group 2013 Conference: Perth, 2 – 4 October 2013 Commonwealth politicians and public servants want us to believe they differ from other mortals. They claim to be so incorruptible — unlike their state and local government counterparts — that they don’t need a watchdog. Even suspect state officials, it seems, are immune to temptation once they take a job in Canberra. The states either have, or are getting, formidable watchdogs to reduce the risk of corruption and misconduct among their officials. But the Gillard government in 2012 rejected a parliamentary committee’s recommendation that it should look at establishing a similar federal body. The commentators focused more attention on the lesser issue of whether federal politicians need a code of conduct after the alleged misdeeds of Labor’s Graig Thomson and the Liberal’s Peter Slipper. The general consensus seems it be that they don’t need oversight from a corruption body because “everyone knows right from wrong” — a not entirely reassuring claim in the circumstances. Although it was never clear why Australian Federal Police (AFP) was less susceptible to bribery than its state equivalents, the Howard government only established the Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity (ACLEI) in 2006. The government confined the commission’s initial targets to the AFP, the Australian Crime Commission and Customs. While Labor’s justice minister, Jason Clare later added the quarantine service, AUSTRAC (the money tracking agency) and CrimTrac (the body that facilitates information sharing between various police and security agencies). -
The Race Issue in Australia's 2001 Election
The Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy Working Paper Series The Race Issue in Australia’s 2001 Election: A Creation of Politicians or the Press? By Paul Kelly Shorenstein Fellow, Spring 2002 Editor at Large, the Australian #2002-8 Copyright © 2002, President and Fellows of Harvard College All rights reserved 1 The Origins of the Crisis In late August 2001, the routine journey across the Indian Ocean of a Norwegian freighter, the Tampa, would become a voyage from hell, with the Tampa itself transformed into a floating monument to inhumanity, the focus of an international political dispute, and a bitter symbol in Australia’s 2001 national election. The story of the Tampa is a modern morality tale: it documents the tragedy of refugee policy and global migrations – the conflict between asylum-seekers desperate to find a better life and the reluctance of citizenry of the rich stable democracies to embrace them. It also contains a powerful lesson for the press – and a warning of challenges to come. On August 26, the Tampa was traveling from the Australian port of Fremantle to Singapore. In response to an Australian search and rescue broadcast, it intercepted a stricken Indonesian vessel and took aboard 433 people, nearly all of them Afghans headed for Australia’s remote Christmas Island and what they hoped would be a new home in Australia itself. The pick-up occurred within the Indonesian rescue zone∗ and so the Tampa’s experienced captain, Arne Rinnan, set course for the port of Merak on the Indonesian island of Java 250 miles away, where permission to land had been given. -

Asylum Seekers
1 ASYLUM SEEKERS Talk to Tasmania Royal Society Hobart 2003 Introduction It has been said that one can learn a lot about a people from the way they handle their prisoners. Today, I warrant, how they handle asylum seekers may be added. In this paper, I want to say a little about the way this nation handles asylum seekers, the significance of such behaviour, and the corrosive effects the behaviour has on its citizens. I should tell you that my first memory is being an illegal people-smuggled asylum seeker. I was sitting on my father’s shoulders in the middle of the night, avoiding barking dogs, having to be totally quiet. We were crossing the border from Slovakia to Hungary in 1942 to avoid the fate of our family, who had been deported to concentration camps. I was 4 years old. Had we tried to obtain legal passports and visas or not have a paid people smuggler, we would have been dead. I do not want to tell my story, but start to give you faces behind euphemisms. The government has consciously prevented asylum seekers’ faces to be shown. To do so, may have revealed that they were people like us. VIDEO 1 2 In the time of the Holocaust Australia was at the vanguard of restrictive quotas on refugees. It interned German Jewish refugees in Hay. After the war, the world enacted the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Refugees, in order to stop repetition of the bottlenecks that nations imposed, leading to the slaughter of trapped citizens in despotic countries. -

Marijuana was said to be ‘a new drug that maddens victims’ and it was sensationally described as an ‘evil sex drug’. The resulting tabloid furore saw the plant cannabis sativa banned in Australia, even though cannabis had been a well-known and widely used drug in Australia for many decades.
