    MR Flinders Quartet Composer Workshop

    FLINDERS QUARTET MEDIA RELEASE COMPOSER WORKSHOP – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA ENQUIRIES: Wendy Avilov [email protected] 0417 798 523 FURTHER INFORMATION: flindersquartet.com/composerworkshop FLINDERS QUARTET INAUGURAL COMPOSER WORKSHOP CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS Flinders Quartet (FQ) invites applications from composers to submit a short work for string quartet to be workshopped by the members of the quartet and composition mentor, Brenton Broadstock, resulting in a professionally recorded live performance. Up to eight composers will have the chance to spend up to three hours with the quartet on their composition, in this, FQ’s inaugural composer workshop. The workshops will take place in Melbourne and will be open to the public, allowing aspiring composers to witness the creative process of other composers as well as demonstrating their own compositional development. The workshops will take place over a period of eight days towards the end of 2016, and will culminate in a public performance that will be professionally recorded. FQ is deeply committed to furthering the Australian tradition of chamber music. The quartet regularly commissions and premieres works by Australia composers, and considers the development and presentation of new works an essential part of its activity. FQ believes that in order to best serve the composers and to truly develop their compositional skills and personal voice, having a live, professional string quartet at their disposal is an invaluable tool. Supported by Creative Victoria, this inaugural workshop will involve up to eight new composers and their compositions, giving each of the participating composers a career-leveraging opportunity. Over the course of eight days, the pieces will take shape and will be crafted to best showcase the composer’s intent.

    How Australia Got a VAT (C) Tax Analysts 2011. All rights reserved. does not claim copyright in any public domain or third party content. By Susan C. Morse Susan C. Morse is an associate professor at the University of California Hastings College of the Law. This project was supported by a Hackworth Grant from the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University. Many thanks to Neil Warren and Richard Eccleston for helpful discussion and review; to participants in the April 2010 Northern California Tax Roundtable and to Chris Evans, Kathryn James, Rick Krever, and Dale Pinto for useful comments and references; and to Erin Phillips and Gadi Zohar for able research assistance. Australians, like Canadians and New Zealanders, call their VAT a goods and services tax, or GST, but their GST fits the VAT mold: it is a credit-invoice method, destination-based consump- tion tax with fairly limited tax base exclusions.1 Although all OECD countries aside from the United States have value-added taxes, external pressures like those resulting from preconditions for European Union membership2 or for financial support from organizations such as the World Bank or International Monetary Fund3 have played a role in many countries’ VAT enactment 1See Liam Ebrill, Michael Keen, Jean-Paul Bodin & Victoria Summers, The Modern VAT 2 (2001) (defining a VAT). This paper uses the term tax base ‘‘exclusion’’ to mean ‘‘a situation in which the rate of tax applied to sales is zero, though credit is still given for taxes paid on inputs’’ which is called ‘‘GST-free’’ in Australia and ‘‘zero-rated’’ elsewhere.

    Copyright and the Digital Economy Foxtel Response

    COPYRIGHT AND THE DIGITAL ECONOMY FOXTEL RESPONSE TO ALRC DISCUSSION PAPER 79 JULY 2013 Page 0 of 23 INTRODUCTION Foxtel welcomes the opportunity to make a submission to the Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC) in response to its discussion paper number 79, Copyright and the Digital Economy, dated May 2013 (Discussion Paper). Foxtel's submission is focused on the issues of most concern to Foxtel in the Discussion Paper. It does not respond to every proposal and question in the Discussion Paper. Foxtel’s submission is structured as follows: 1. Retransmission of free-to-air (FTA) broadcasts (Chapter 15 of the Discussion Paper). 2. The case for fair use in Australia (Chapter 4 of the Discussion Paper). 3. Third parties and private and domestic use (Chapters 5 and 9 of the Discussion Paper). 4. Contracting Out (Chapter 17 of the Discussion Paper). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Australian copyright law sets a fair and finely struck balance between the interests of rights holders and those of end users. To ensure ongoing investment, the existing balance must not be disrupted unless there is clear evidence of the benefits offered by any proposed amendments. Foxtel is strongly opposed to the introduction of a broad fair use defence. The introduction of such a broad exception is a radical change to the current law. Any such change can not be made in isolation without properly considering the costs of introducing this type of change and the flow on impact to both industry and consumers as a result of such a significant change. Foxtel is also strongly opposed to any changes to the current retransmission arrangements.

    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.

  • Non-Mainstream Media Coverage Peter Chen

    Non-Mainstream Media Coverage Peter Chen

    20 Non-Mainstream Media Coverage Peter Chen From a media diversity perspective, Australia’s standing as an established democracy is not strong. When compared with peer democracies, Australia has the most concentrated media system in the world (Australian Collaboration 2015). The causes of this are various, but include comparatively small market size, ‘dumping’ of English-language content into the Australian market and lacklustre media policy that has facilitated media conglomerates to consolidate their market share (Winseck 2008). As part of this story, the popularisation of the internet over the last two decades has been an exacerbating factor and corrective: undermining the economic basis of established commercial media and eroding domestic regulatory capacity, while at the same time providing the capacity for the establishment of ‘new presses’. This chapter focuses on the conduct and performance of these ‘new presses’ in the 2016 federal election campaign. While the majority of these new media groups happens to be an internet-based press, the emphasis of this chapter is not on the technological basis of supply per se, but on their relative newness into the Australia marketplace. This breaks with a traditional tendency to see ‘new media’ as internet-based media, an increasingly meaningless classification tool given the increasing incorporation of new technology into the established media, as discussed by Andrea Carson and Brian McNair (Chapter 19, this volume). 453 DOUBLE DISILLUSION Method The primary research method employed for this chapter is the content analysis of articles published in 10 ‘new’ Australian-based1 publications— each less than seven years old2—that published material during the formal election period from 8 May to 1 July 2016 inclusive.

Genevieve Lacey Recorder Genevieve Lacey is a recorder virtuoso. Her repertoire spans ten centuries, and she collaborates on projects as diverse as her medieval duo with Poul Høxbro, performances with the Black Arm Band, and her role in Barrie Kosky’s production of Liza Lim’s opera ‘The Navigator’. Genevieve has a substantial recording history with ABC Classics, and her newest album, ‘weaver of fictions’, was released in 2008. As a concerto soloist Genevieve has appeared with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, Academy of Ancient Music (UK), English Concert (UK), Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra and the Melbourne, West Australian, Tasmanian and Queensland Symphony Orchestras.

As Artistic Director, Genevieve will direct the 2010 and 2012 Four Winds Festivals. In 2009, she will also design a composer mentorship/residency program for APRA‐AMCOS, and program a season of concerts for the 3MBS inaugural Musical Portraits series.
  • National Polls, Marginal Seats and Campaign Effects Murray Goot

    National Polls, Marginal Seats and Campaign Effects Murray Goot

    5 National Polls, Marginal Seats and Campaign Effects Murray Goot The most widely remarked feature of the national polls for the House of Representatives was how close their final two-party preferred figures were to the two-party preferred vote. Given anxieties about the validity of the pollsters’ sampling frames and falling response rates, the poor performance of the polls in Britain and the media’s increasing inability to invest large sums in polls (thanks to a decline in revenue from both advertisers and audiences; see Carson and McNair, Chapter 19, this volume; Chen, Chapter 20, this volume), the accuracy of the polls, on this measure, generated relief all around. Based on the two-party preferred vote—the share of the vote going to the Labor and non-Labor parties after the distribution of minor party and Independent preferences—the polls throughout the campaign were able to anticipate a ‘close’ result. But, however ‘close’, even a 50–50 two-party preferred meant that the Coalition was more likely than Labor to form a government. Less prominently discussed than the two-party preferred vote were the estimates of the major parties’ first preference votes. Here, the polls were less accurate. While the spread of two-party preferred results—from the most favourable to the Coalition to the least favourable—reported by the polls was 2 percentage points, the spread of first preferences for the Liberal–National parties, for Labor, for the Greens and for Others was 3 percentage points. Among journalists and others, the failure of most of 107 DOUBLE DISILLUSION the polls to report the level of support for any of the minor parties other than the Greens—only two organisations estimated the level of support in the House for the Nick Xenophon Team—passed without notice.
