  • Marriageability and Indigenous Representation in the White Mainstream Media in Australia
    Marriageability and Indigenous Representation in the White Mainstream Media in Australia PhD Thesis 2007 Andrew King BA (Hons) Supervisor: Associate Professor Alan McKee Creative Industries, Queensland University of Technology Abstract By means of a historical analysis of representations, this thesis argues that an increasing sexualisation of Indigenous personalities in popular culture contributes to the reconciliation of non-Indigenous and Indigenous Australia. It considers how sexualised images and narratives of Indigenous people, as they are produced across a range of film, television, advertising, sport and pornographic texts, are connected to a broader politics of liberty and justice in the present postmodern and postcolonial context. By addressing this objective the thesis will identify and evaluate the significance of ‘banal’ or everyday representations of Aboriginal sexuality, which may range from advertising images of kissing, television soap episodes of weddings, sultry film romances through to more evocatively oiled-up representations of the pin- up-calendar variety. This project seeks to explore how such images offer possibilities for creating informal narratives of reconciliation, and engendering understandings of Aboriginality in the media beyond predominant academic concerns for exceptional or fatalistic versions. i Keywords Aboriginality Indigenous Marriageability Reconciliation Popular Culture Sexuality Relationships Interracial Public Sphere Mediasphere Celebrity ii Table of Contents Introduction ………………………………………………………………………….

  • No. 84 TUESDAY, 27 APRIL 2021
    No. 84 TUESDAY, 27 APRIL 2021 Notices of Motion 404 Dr Woodruff to move—That the House:— (1) Acknowledges that 'Interim Planning Directive 4' was issued by the Minister for Planning, Hon. Roger Jaensch MP without consultation with Local Government and the community. (2) Recognises the Minister for Planning’s unilateral issuance of this Directive to bring forward planning standardisation is a concerning departure from the legislated process and the understanding of Tasmanians. (3) Notes the Local Provision Schedules’ process is designed to meet local needs and objectives, but is still being undertaken by most councils. (4) Further acknowledges the fast-tracking of provisions contained within 'Interim Planning Directive 4' undermines the process of transferral to a state-wide planning scheme and the role of the Tasmanian Planning Commission in accessing Local Provision Schedules prior to a Council’s adoption of the Tasmanian Planning Scheme. (5) Calls on the Minister for Planning to re-commit to the reform process, as previously iterated, and rule out further Interim Planning Directives issued without consultation and community support. (2 March 2021) 405 Dr Woodruff to move—That the House:— (1) Acknowledges the Liberal Government’s unsustainable salmon industry growth plan will continue the negative impacts of fin-fish farming operations on the environment and the quality of life of nearby residents. (2) Understands communities including those from the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, Huon River, Bruny Island, Nubeena, White Beach, Port Arthur and Okehampton Bay are being affected by noise pollution and the extensive degradation of their marine waterways caused by fish farming operations. (3) Notes the Marine Farming Planning Review Panel’s process for approving new fish farming operations has been widely criticised, including by previous 'sitting members' who have described the panel as ‘inherently compromised’.
