    Forget polling voters, just ask the punters - Opinion - smh.com.au http://www.smh.com.au/news/opinion/forget-polling-voters-just-ask-the... Home » Opinion » Article Forget polling voters, just ask the punters John Garnaut February 9, 2007 THIS week three years ago, David Cox, Labor's slightly dishevelled member for the Adelaide seat of Kingston, stopped to contemplate his fortune in the parliamentary corridor. His party had surged to a 6 percentage point lead in the opinion polls, after years of wretched irrelevance. Publicly, Labor had been talking with caution and humility; privately it was a different story. Cox, a hard-headed economist and strategist, allowed a schoolboy grin to spread across his usually deadpan face. "It's amaaaaazing," he said. That was February 2004. Nine months later, voters threw Cox out of his seat and gave his party another thrashing. Now, Labor is led by a cautious workhorse with none of Mark Latham's fissile characteristics. John Howard has aged three years; and with Iraq, climate change and perhaps interest rates, the times that famously suited him appear to have shifted. Labor's opinion poll lead is now 10 points, not six. Yet there is none of the premature celebration that marked Labor three years ago, and only a hint of the panic that rippled through the Coalition. Chastened by their Latham exuberance, press gallery reporters are falling over themselves to show sagacious restraint and predict a Howard comeback. The pundits now know better than to be swept around by opinion polls. As economists such as Justin Wolfers and Andrew Leigh have shown, polls can have almost zero predictive value so far out from an election.

  • Ghosts of Ned Kelly: Peter Carey’S True History and the Myths That Haunt Us
    Ghosts of Ned Kelly: Peter Carey’s True History and the myths that haunt us Marija Pericic Master of Arts School of Communication and Cultural Studies Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne November 2011 Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts (by Thesis Only). Abstract Ned Kelly has been an emblem of Australian national identity for over 130 years. This thesis examines Peter Carey’s reimagination of the Kelly myth in True History of the Kelly Gang (2000). It considers our continued investment in Ned Kelly and what our interpretations of him reveal about Australian identity. The paper explores how Carey’s departure from the traditional Kelly reveals the underlying anxieties about Australianness and masculinity that existed at the time of the novel’s publication, a time during which Australia was reassessing its colonial history. The first chapter of the paper examines True History’s complication of cultural memory. It argues that by problematising Kelly’s Irish cultural memory, our own cultural memory of Kelly is similarly challenged. The second chapter examines Carey’s construction of Kelly’s Irishness more deeply. It argues that Carey’s Kelly is not the emblem of politicised Irishness based on resistance to imperial Britain common to Kelly narratives. Instead, he is less politically aware and also claims a transnational identity. The third chapter explores how Carey’s Kelly diverges from key aspects of the Australian heroic ideal he is used to represent: hetero-masculinity, mateship and heroic failure. Carey’s most striking divergence comes from his unsettling of gender and sexual codes.

  • The Surgeon and the Fashion Icon: in Search of Florence Cooper and Reta Findlay
    24 ANNETTE COOPER The surgeon and the fashion icon: in search of Florence Cooper and Reta Findlay Women of outstanding gifts At her retirement as honorary surgeon from Melbourne’s Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital in 1951, Florence Cooper spoke of her early struggle for recognition as a doctor and said that all medical women owed a debt of gratitude to the hospital’s committee for the opportunities it had given them. ‘They have done much … to break down the feeling of prejudice towards women in what were once regarded as men’s professions.’1 Two blocks further south, in the prestigious ‘Paris End’ of Collins Street, Reta Findlay was at the height of her creative powers in one of Melbourne’s most elegant department stores: Georges. She had been working there since the 1930s, becoming Australia’s first female advertising manager in 1937, and had moulded the store into what we remember as Georges today – elegant and exclusive. Both women were gifted practitioners in their fields. Both were admired for their business acumen. Both were committed to furthering the cause of women, in both politics and their profession. Both worked tirelessly to support the war effort in World War II and charitable causes. And both have captured my imagination, based on personal connections and research. The first, Florence Cooper, is my late great-aunt. I was almost five years old when she died, and although it’s possible I met her, I don’t have any recollection. But, over the years, I heard stories about her brilliance The surgeon and the fashion icon 25 and achievement in medicine through my late aunt.

  • AN Smith Lecture by Michael Gawenda
    A N Smith Lecture in Journalism The University of Melbourne __________________________________________________________________ Do newspapers have a future? And how long is that future? Michael Gawenda Thank you all for coming and thank you Vice Chancellor Glyn Davis for asking me to give this lecture. I am in the company of some very distinguished people who have given the A.N. Smith lecture in the past. I hope I can be somewhere near as interesting and provocative as some of them were. I want to start with a couple of quotes from dead old white men, a demographic I am bound, sooner or later, to join. That’s my future taken care of. I state the obvious of course, but do so because how journalists and editors like me regard the future of newspapers depends on how much of a future we ourselves have--in newspapers and in life. Most these quotes come from books and articles I have not read. They are quotes I have found by using the Google search engine. The Google search engine has now become a widespread research tool in journalism. The effects are not always benign. Still, I have, at times, succumbed to its seductiveness. In 1961, the American playwright Arthur Miller said: `A good newspaper, I suppose, is a nation talking to itself.’ I think that with a small edit, the sort a sub- editor of a certain type could easily perform, this Miller attempt at wisdom about newspapers could have said something that would be as true today as it would have been almost a half century ago : `A bad newspaper, I suppose, is a newspaper talking to itself’.

  • A Few Tips for Opinion Piece Writers Andrew Leigh
    A Few Tips for Opinion Piece Writers Andrew Leigh Updated February 2008 In Australia, opinion pieces are more important than they probably should be. Lacking broad-based expert-written policy magazines like the New Republic, Atlantic Monthly or Spectator, much of the discussion about ideas in Australia occurs on our opinion pages.1 And there isn’t much space for it. We have five broadsheets in Australia: the Sydney Morning Herald, Age, Australian, Canberra Times and the Australian Financial Review (the last a tabloid-sized broadsheet). Given that most have their own regular columnists, this means only about five to ten places for new voices each day. There are two implications of this. First, if you have something to say that’s of interest to a generalist audience, it’s worth trying to write an opinion piece and get it placed. While academic articles are important, most will only be read by a few thousand people. The same goes for online journals. By contrast, the Age and Sydney Morning Herald have a circulation of over 200,000. Second, there is a lot of competition for Australia’s limited opinion page territory, so you will need to be persistent, and may need to send it to more than one paper before it gets a run. What follows was originally written as the basis for a training session that I conducted in 2004 for OzProspect fellows, a talented bunch of young Aussies who are working to get their ideas into the public domain. A couple of people afterwards expressed interest in a document that aimed to demystify the opinion piece game.

  • Ned Kelly's Last Words: “Ah, Well, I Suppose”
    Ned Kelly’s Last Words: “Ah, Well, I Suppose” Dr. Stuart E. Dawson ∗ (Monash University) Abstract: It has long been widely, even admiringly, held that Ned Kelly’s last words before execution were “Such is life”. This is a key part of a prevalent Kelly mythology that has been subject to little serious critique. Yet the attribution of the phrase ‘Such is life’ to Kelly is pure fiction. Analysis of the reportage of the day reveals Kelly’s actual last words, and explains how they were transmuted by one journalist into the catchy expression quoted as fact by many historians. It shows that the image of Kelly standing tall and defiant, saying ‘Such is life’ as the rope was placed around his neck, is nothing but a highly romanticised myth. In fact, Kelly came to an ignominious, mumbling end on the scaffold, a far cry from popular legend. Keywords: Ned Kelly, Edward Kelly, Kelly Gang, Ned Kelly facts, Ned Kelly bushranger, Ned Kelly museum, Old Melbourne Gaol, famous last words. It has long been widely, even admiringly, held that Ned Kelly’s last words before execution were “Such is life”. 1 To television producer, Paul Terry, “the fatalistic and courageous ‘Such is life’ has become synonymous with Ned and everything he stood for”. 2 The claim has been relayed in Australian history texts and is commonly taught as fact to school children. 3 In Peter Carey’s Booker Prize-winning novel True History of the ∗ I wish to thank Sharon Hollingsworth for her valuable input and detailed discussion throughout the writing of this article, and Caroline Oxley of the Victoria Police Museum for copies of several historic documents.

  • Sydney Is Singularly Fortunate in That, Unlike Other Australian Cities, Its Newspaper History Has Been Well Documented
    Two hundred years of Sydney newspapers: A SHORT HISTORY By Victor Isaacs and Rod Kirkpatrick 1 This booklet, Two Hundreds Years of Sydney Newspapers: A Short History, has been produced to mark the bicentenary of publication of the first Australian newspaper, the Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser, on 5 March 1803 and to provide a souvenir for those attending the Australian Newspaper Press Bicentenary Symposium at the State Library of New South Wales, Sydney, on 1 March 2003. The Australian Newspaper History Group convened the symposium and records it gratitude to the following sponsors: • John Fairfax Holdings Ltd, publisher of Australia’s oldest newspaper, the Sydney Morning Herald • Paper World Pty Ltd, of Melbourne, suppliers of original newspapers from the past • RMIT University’s School of Applied Communication, Melbourne • The Printing Industries Association of Australia • The Graphic Arts Merchants Association of Australia • Rural Press Ltd, the major publisher of regional newspapers throughout Australia • The State Library of New South Wales Printed in February 2003 by Rural Press Ltd, North Richmond, New South Wales, with the assistance of the Printing Industries Association of Australia. 2 Introduction Sydney is singularly fortunate in that, unlike other Australian cities, its newspaper history has been well documented. Hence, most of this short history of Sydney’s newspapers is derived from secondary sources, not from original research. Through the comprehensive listing of relevant books at the end of this booklet, grateful acknowledgement is made to the writers, and especially to Robin Walker, Gavin Souter and Bridget Griffen-Foley whose work has been used extensively.
