    RELEASED: Wednesday 30 September, 2015 ABC counts down…. to ‘Crack Up’! Mental As… 4 – 11 October 2015 As the ABC prepares for the launch of its Mental As... initiative on Sunday, we’re delighted to release details for Saturday Night Crack Up, one of our main opportunities to raise funds for research into mental health. Hosted by Eddie Perfect, the show is guaranteed to be a jam-packed two hours of variety featuring music, dance and a whole lot of fun. Tune in to ABC from 7.30pm on Saturday 10th October, coinciding with World Mental Health Day – also streamed live on ABC iview. House band The Bamboos, led by Musical Director John Foreman, will be live in the studio and Ed Kavalee returns as show announcer to keep us up to date with money raised throughout the night. HG Nelson (Greig Pickhaver) joins us this year as host of the Crack Up ‘Grab for Cash’, where Michala Banas and Toby Truslove will lead a host of other famous faces through some fun games while raising money for the cause. Julia Morris has agreed to head out on the road – appropriately in a Morris – with the mission of finding out what some of our best known faces do to stay happy. Appearing alongside Julia are Father Bob, Nazeem Hussain, Richard Reid, Kate Ceberano, Josh Thomas, Anthony Callea, Dipper, Derryn Hinch, Rob Mills, Fifi Box and Kerri-Ann Kennerly. And comedian Dave Callan will attempt to do something pretty amazing – dance for 24 hours, hopefully completing this mission during the show.

Debunking Dreyfus on Free Speech and Freedom Author: Brendan Jones Brisbane, QLD, Australia E-mail: [email protected] Being an Open Letter to ALP Shadow Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus MP QC regarding his speech to the HRC Free Speech 2014 Symposium Cc: Director-General of Security – ASIO, David Irvine (pp. 62-65) Online at: http://victimsofdsto.com/debunking-drefyus/ Page 1 of 66(218) September 10(11), 2014 NoFibs Journalist: “I’m a strong free speech advocate ... So I’m thrilled that shadow Attorney General Mark Dreyfus QC has taken a stand and wish him success in the long hard climb ahead.” 98 Brendan Jones: “Mr. Dreyfus is no advocate for free speech, but the fact that he has convinced you he is – and in just one short speech – has persuaded me he’s a first class barrister.” 98 Journalist Martin Hirst: “I loved that he rubbed their pretty little noses in it. He made the point strongly that the so-called “marketplace of ideas” is a conservative myth that bears little relation to reality.” 98 133 Brendan Jones: “All Dreyfus did was say he rejected it. He never explained why. Google "Sophistry"” 98 131 US Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Cardozo: ‘Freedom of expression is the matrix, the indispensable condition, of nearly every other form of freedom.’ US Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis: “Those who won our independence believed that the final end of the State was to make men free to develop their faculties, and that in its government the deliberative forces should prevail over the arbitrary.

He has written 13 books, appeared on stage as the narrator in The Rocky Horror Show, been on TV in Dancing with the Stars, Beauty and the Beast, and hosted The Midday Show.He’s played himself in TV’s Underbelly and on film in The Wog Boy.

  • 'I'm Not Expecting to Lose …': the Election Overview and Campaign Narrative
    2 ‘I’m Not Expecting to Lose …’: The Election Overview and Campaign Narrative Marija Taflaga and John Wanna The countdown to a combative election The quotation from Malcolm Turnbull in the chapter title reflected the restrained optimism of the newly installed prime minister facing his first election as leader in the dying days of the 2016 federal election campaign. He spoke these prophetic words reluctantly when asked persistently by TV personality Annabel Crabb on her show Kitchen Cabinet about his expectations of the outcome. While Turnbull’s prediction would ultimately prove accurate (only just!), Turnbull and his Coalition colleagues would get the fright of their lives when the counting began. This chapter provides a chronology of the federal election campaign of 2016. It explores the antecedents of the main events and outcomes, and looks to provide reasons for the largely unexpected closeness of the eventual result. The chapter is broadly divided into five parts: (1) the background context and government’s leadership transition along with the delicate timing and deliberate preparations for a double-dissolution election; (2) the flurry of last-minute policy announcements and budgetary measures; (3) the meandering nature of the lengthy campaign from the standpoint of the main protagonists followed by the resort to 17 DOUBLE DISILLUSION banal sloganeering; (4) the volatile election outcome and the descent into uncertainty; and, finally, (5) the immediate aftermath of the election and an assessment on the wisdom of calling a double dissolution.

  • ELECTION 2016 People Powered Impact
    ELECTION 2016 People Powered Impact How one million GetUp members took on the hard right to fight for a more fair, flourishing and just Australia. 1 LETTER FROM THE NATIONAL DIRECTOR In the 2016 election, GetUp members made all the right people angry. From far-right politicians George Christensen, Peter Dutton and Eric Abetz, to ex-Abbott Chief of Staff Peta Credlin and even the Murdoch Press, the Getup movement is being credited – and blamed – for major swings against hard-right MPs in our parliament. That’s because this election, GetUp members devised and backed a people-powered strategy fuelled by our passion and belief in something better. Together we: • went after the right-wing blockers holding back progress on our issues, to disrupt their influence over our politics; • put our issues on the agenda, pushing MPs and candidates to commit to more investment in renewable energy, more investment in schools and hospitals, and stop the insidious influence of corporate power over our politics; and • stood for a strong Senate to make sure it remains a house of review, and keeps the government in check. A lot was at stake this election. While Malcolm Turnbull took the leadership, the right-wing of the Liberal Party continued to drive the agenda. It was as if Tony Abbott never left. The Government went in to fight this election on a $48 billion dollar corporate tax cut that would magically ‘trickle down’ to jobs and growth. But in a few short months, GetUp members turned the Government’s case on its head and made the economic fight of the election about protecting our world class public health and education systems instead, our beautiful Great Barrier reef, and the future of our clean energy industry.
