    Cultural Studies Review volume 16 number 2 September 2010 http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/journals/index.php/csrj/index pp. 179–93 Luke Carman 2010 Sacrificing Steve How I Killed the Crocodile Hunter LUKE CARMAN UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN SYDNEY There has been a long campaign claiming that in a changed world and in a changed Australia, the values and symbols of old Australia are exclusive, oppressive and irrelevant. The campaign does not appear to have succeeded.1 Let’s begin this paper with a peculiar point of departure. Let’s abjure for the moment the approved conventions of academic discussion and begin not with the obligatory expounding of some contextualising theoretical locus, but instead with an immersion much more personal. Let’s embrace the pure, shattering honesty of humiliation. Let’s begin with a tale of shame and, for the sake of practicality, let’s make it mine. Early in September 2006, I was desperately trying to finish a paper on Australian representations of masculinity. The deadline had crept up on me, and I was caught struggling for a focusing point. I wanted a figure to drape my argument upon, one that would fit into a complicated and altogether shaky coagulation of ideas surrounding Australian icons, legends and images—someone who perfectly ISSN 1837-8692 straddled an exploration of masculine constructions within a framework of cringing insecurities and historical silences. I could think of men, I could think of iconic men, and I could think of them in limitless abundance, but none of them encapsulated everything I wanted to say.

Page 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I cannot express enough gratitude to everyone who believed in me on this crazy and fantastic journey; everything you have done has molded me into the person I am today. To my family, who taught me to seek out my own purpose and pursue it wholeheartedly; without you, I would have never taken the chance and moved to England for my Masters. To my professors, who became my trusted resources and friends, your endless and caring teachings have supported me in more ways than I can put into words. To my friends who have never failed to make me smile, I am so lucky to have you in my life. Finally, a special thanks to David Attenborough, Steve Irwin, Terri Irwin, Jane Goodall, Peter Gros, Jim Fowler, and so many others for making me fall in love with wildlife and spark a fire in my heart for their welfare. I grew up on wildlife films and television shows like Planet Earth, Blue Planet, March of the Penguins, Crocodile Hunter, Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom, Shark Week, and others – it was because of those programs that I first fell in love with nature as a kid, and I’ve taken that passion with me, my whole life.

  • Steve Irwin on Drugs! - Never
    Steve Irwin on drugs! - Never Late Summer in 2004 I was in my Sydney office and took a phone call from the HR department manager at Australia Zoo in Qld. I had launched Drug-Safe Australia about four and a half years previously, worked hard to build a viable business with a great reputation. As a result, I was used to getting calls through word of mouth recommendations but this one certainly interested me as I had been a great admirer of Steve and Terri Irwin for a couple of years. It seems that Steve was concerned about drug use amongst his young and enthusiastic team of helpers. One incident in particular had recently made him aware how easy it was to have a tragic accident, even though he himself had grown up with the knowledge and respect crocodiles deserved there were others he couldn’t be so sure of. Steve and Terri’s house backed onto Australia Zoo. It was in fact their front yard. Steve’s notoriety had exploded across the world and he and his family were having difficulty in finding quiet moments to themselves. One of Steve’s greatest pleasures was to walk with his 5-year-old daughter Bindi through the crocodile areas after the Park had closed. One afternoon shortly before I was called, Steve was enjoying his afternoon walk only to find many of the gates on the enclosures were wide open and some smaller crocs were not where they should have been. It turned out that one of his staff, (a young female) had been using marijuana for some time with resulting hallucinations.

  • An Evening with Chris Palmer the BEST and WORST of WILDLIFE
    An Evening with Chris Palmer THE BEST AND WORST OF WILDLIFE FILMS Environmental Film Festival in the Nation’s Capital By Professor Chris Palmer Distinguished Film Producer in Residence Director, Center for Environmental Filmmaking School of Communication, American University [email protected]; (202) 885-3408 www.environmentalfilm.org Tuesday, March 20, 2012 A few days ago I received the following e-mail from the author and journalist Mark Dowie. He wrote: On a recent trip to Ecuador I befriended a renowned wildlife photographer. Over drinks one evening he invited me to join him on a shoot the next day. His prey was a very rare and beautiful tropical snake. We met the next morning and drove with a small crew to the edge of the rainforest. I was braced for a long exploratory trek into the wild in search of the elusive viper. Fortunately we didn't have to go far. His porter had one in a cloth bag. He removed it from the bag and placed it on the branch of a tree three paces into the rainforest. The snake coiled itself comfortably around the branch and posed while lights were assembled, lit, and some perfect shots were captured. On the way back to Quito my friend confessed that most of his shots were somehow posed like this. Mark Dowie added, “I'm sure this is not new or shocking to you. But it did rather spoil all those hours I'd spent watching Wild Kingdom, Nature, Attenborough and others on Sunday morning TV as a child.” As many of you know, I published a book in 2010 called Shooting in the Wild which discussed many examples of unethical wildlife filmmaking like the one Mark Dowie described.

  • Scenario a Using the Water Bottle
    Here are some examples of responses to this week’s scenarios using the ‘what if’ skill: Scenario A Using the water bottle solution for this scenario may have the following consequences – - What if he relies on the water bottle in other situations - it could become a distraction - What if the teacher forgets to provide him with a water bottle - he may become distressed and more upset - What if he drinks it - he may then become distressed and angry and need the bottle filling - What if he throws it at someone - and he gets into trouble for hurting others - What if he tips it up on someone - and he gets into trouble for getting someone wet - What if one of his fellow students is frightened of water, - and it has the opposite effect on them to Jeremy - The water bottle is likely a solution for a period of time, and may well need to be developed/worked on with his teacher and care team. ________________________________________ I agree with the what ifs so far listed but there are few things that jumped out at me straight away. What if they make it to the playground safe and the water bottle breaks or gets left behind lost at the playground how does Jeremy get back safely to class. Being Autistic that will then be expected as part of the routine of going to the playground What if the bottle was forgotten one day. What if at the end of the day if Jeremy walked to and from the playground without sidetracking to the water park they let him have water play before going home ie play under sprinklers or water balloons especially at it appears his special interest seems to be in the water not looking at it There are lots of ways we could build on his interest with water for integration opportunities & we could perhaps work towards focusing it like water pistols for target practise (targets or things like knocking ping pongoff golf tees).
