  • A Reflection on the First 30 Days of the 1972 Aboriginal Embassy
    A REFLECTION ON THE FIRST THIRTY DAYS OF THE EMBASSY By Gary Foley From the book: Foley, G, Schaap, A & Howell, E 2013, The Aboriginal Tent Embassy. [electronic resource] : Sovereignty, Black Power, Land Rights and the State, Hoboken : Taylor and Francis, 2013 It was in the first four weeks of the 1972 Aboriginal Embassy protest that a small group of Aboriginal activists rapidly improvised and transformed an opportunistic accident into an effective protest that captured world attention and brought significant historical and political change in Australia.1 What had begun as a simple knee-jerk reaction to an Australia Day statement on Land Rights by the Australian Prime Minister, resulted in the accidental discovery that there was no law in Canberra that prevented the activists from staging a protest camp on the lawns of Parliament. The swift action of the activists to take advantage of this situation enabled them to gain political advantage over the McMahon Government in the propaganda war and political battle that would take place over the next six months. Exactly how these events unfolded has never been written about in detail. Even in Scott Robinson’s (ch.1 in this volume) or in Kathy Lothian’s (2007) accounts, the crucial early days are not fully examined. Yet if we are to gain a better understanding of why the Aboriginal Embassy was able to become such an effective protest action, it is important to gain an awareness of how it all began. So in this chapter I will examine some of the factors that enabled the already highly effective group of Aboriginal activists from the Redfern Black Power collective to create a highly effective challenge to the political power structure and force a major change in policy.

    2016 100.3 2MCR FM, Marketing Plan Naman Dev Anand – 17425344 David McInerney – 18022908 Mark Serrano – 17511823 Ellie Swid – 17540331 Priscilla Jazmin Vega – 17303994 Renee Yousif – 18020335 Western Sydney University Campbelltown 10/19/2016 100.3 2MCR FM, Marketing Plan, 2016 1.0 Executive Summary Page | 1 100.3 2MCR FM, Marketing Plan, 2016 The purpose of this report is to undertake relevant market research in order to provide 100.3 2MCR FM with recommendations as to how they can increase their audience whilst still maintaining their ambition to support the local Macarthur community. This research highlights the level of unawareness that the community has towards both 100.3 2MCR FM and community radio. Throughout the research for this report, it was discovered that community radio is widely unknown within its region, proceeding this, those who are aware associate negative connotations with it, as 67% of the respondents from the survey revealed that they couldn’t name a community radio station. Those respondents who were aware of community radio were asked if they’d volunteer at a station and many of them said they were oblivious to volunteering opportunities. Another key finding from our research was that those individuals who were aware of 100.3 2MCR FM proved that they were unaware of any sort of promotions the station offered or even of their online presence. As there is a growing number of younger people within the Campbelltown region, increasing 100.3 2MCR FM’s online presence is crucial to attracting listeners within this market. Increasing the use of social media on their accounts through on air televising will help in the retention of current listeners.
