Last night’s leadership spill saw the ABC pull together resources across TV, Radio, Digital, and International divisions to provide audiences with the most comprehensive coverage of events as they unfolded. At a total network level, ABC TV reached 4.2 million metro viewers last night (between 6pm and midnight), with a primetime share of 23.3%. ABC was the number one channel from 8.30pm onwards. With continuous coverage of events in Canberra, there were 197,500 plays of the ABC News 24 live stream via the website and iview, the highest this year-to-date. ABC News recorded its highest online traffic for the year-to-date (desktop and mobile), with 1.5 million visitors, 2.1 million visits and 5.8 million page views, each up more than 80% on the same time last week. The ABC News Live Blog recorded 710,900 visits. Australian expats abroad and regional audiences were also kept informed with ABC International providing rolling multilingual coverage across platforms including Australia Plus television, online and social media sites, Radio Australia, and numerous syndication media platforms across Asia and the Pacific. ABC Radio highlighted its agility and strength, with robust coverage on ABC Local Radio, NewsRadio and RN. The Local Radio coverage was adapted to broadcast a single national evening’s program, with expert analysts and talkback callers around the country, giving the audience a strong sense of the national dialogue.

  • Why Nothing Happens
    Can Porn Set Us Free? A speech to the Sydney Writers Festival May 25th 2003 Clive Hamilton1 In Growth Fetish I argue that it has become apparent that the liberation movements of the sixties and seventies – the sexual revolution, the counter-culture, the women’s movement and the civil rights movement – have had some unforeseen and regrettable consequences. Contrary to the dreams of the young people of that era, the liberation movements did not create a society of free individuals in which each of us, released from the shackles of social conservatism, could find our true selves. While the goals were noble, the effect has been to open up to the marketers areas of social life from which the forces of commerce had previously been excluded. In a strong sense, the liberation movements of that era did the ground work for the neoliberal economic revolution of the eighties and nineties. It seems to me that the libertarian-left continues to invest so much in the freedoms won in the sixties and seventies that it has lost its capacity for discernment, an ability to recognise the social limits of individual freedoms. The ideas of the libertarian-left have become a reactionary force, for they have substituted an uncritical defence of the freedoms won in an earlier era for a real politics of social change. I’d like to develop this argument with respect to the perennial question of sex, and in particular the commodification of sexuality and what I call the pornographication of everyday life. This is a fitting topic for this Writers Festival not least because one of the overseas literary stars is Catherine Millet, author of the best-selling memoir The Sexual Life of Catherine M.
