THE Hospital Where a Nurse Apparently Killed Herself After Falling Victim of an Aussie Radio Show's Prank Call Have Condemning the Stunt As “Truly Appalling News The Sun 8 December 2012 Kate hospital condemns ‘truly appalling’ radio hoax after death of nurse THE hospital where a nurse apparently killed herself after falling victim of an Aussie radio show's prank call have condemning the stunt as “truly appalling". King Edward VII’s Hospital, which was treating Prince William's wife Kate for acute morning sickness, wrote to the chairman of Southern Cross Austereo to protest “in the strongest possible terms” against the “extremely foolish” hoax. Tragic Jacintha Saldanha, who was duped into thinking she was speaking to the Queen, was found dead yesterday two days after the crank call by 2Day FM DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian. Hospital chairman Lord Glenarthur said her death was "tragic beyond words", adding that the station had "humiliated" the unsuspecting nurse. He wrote: “I appreciate that you cannot undo the damage which has been done but I would urge you to take steps to ensure that such an incident could never be repeated." A spokesman for the private London hospital said the letter was sent earlier today. The letter comes after major advertisers began deserting 2Day FM amid public outrage and Australia's media regulator prepared to launch a probe into its conduct. Leading supermarket Coles - the country’s second largest chain - was the first to drop the Sydney- based station following Jacintha's death, which is leading news headlines in Australia. Coles was followed swiftly by Telstra, Australia's largest telecommunications company, which announced it was pulling all advertising from 2Day FM. CHAIRMAN of King Edward VII's Hospital said he wanted to "protest" against the "extremely foolish" gag And Optus, Telstra's main competitor, said it is reviewing its position. The moves put huge pressure on the station - already the focus of outrage on Twitter on Facebook over the stunt and its tragic consequences. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has also been flooded with complaints from the public. Coles said on its Facebook page: “We understand Australians are clearly angry and upset by what appear to be tragic consequences of the 2Day FM UK hospital prank. "We have wanted to let you know we have instructed 2DAY FM to remove all Coles group advertising from the station as soon as possible.” More than 1,000 people had 'liked' the posting half an hour after it went online early today. Worldwide Twitter fury continued over the prank and Jacintha Saldanha’s death. Australian TV star Holly Valance, 29, tweeted: “Beyond horrific. Hope they’re held accountable for their prank. A life spent helping people ends up like this.” Telly presenter Myleene Klass said: “Just heard about Jacintha Saldanha. Poor lady must have been terrified.” Lord Sugar said on Twitter: “Tragic suicide of Nurse involved taking fake Australian call at Kate’s hospital. The journalist should be arrested/charged with something.” Last night the Facebook pages of 2Day FM and its owner Southern Cross Austereo Media faced a backlash from thousands of angry users. Posters called for listeners to boycott the station, and for the DJs Michael Christian and Mel Greig to be fired. 2Day said it had received 195 "logged complaints" by 1am UK time today. The radio station was reporting the death of Jacintha as the main item on its news bulletins. ACMA said it has received a "lot" of complaints but declined to give a figure, and said it is in discussions with the Sydney-based station. A spokeswoman said: “The ACMA is reviewing all the circumstances around the prank call. "We’ve had a lot (of complaints) but it doesn’t actually matter, we only need one complaint to launch an investigation. “We haven’t launched an investigation yet, we’re engaging with the licensee at the moment.” The regulator is looking into whether the DJs breached Australia's Commercial Radio Code of Practice, including points on "exploiting" participants and broadcasting comments by people without their consent. .

  • Will Kyle and Jackie O Give Mix106.5 the KIIS of Life?
    Article No. 5379 Available on www.roymorgan.com Link to Roy Morgan Profiles Thursday, 16 January 2014 Will Kyle and Jackie O give Mix106.5 the KIIS of life? Monday 20 January promises to be a massive day for Sydney breakfast radio. For those who’ve been living in a cave in Outer Mongolia (or outside Sydney, as the case may be!), that’s the date long-time 2Day FM breakfast DJs Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O start their new show at rival station Mix106.5 FM. It’s also the date Mix106.5 FM will be rebranded as KIIS FM. So will these major changes have the desired effect for Mix, boosting both their audience and advertising revenue? Roy Morgan investigates… The total Sydney radio market comprises almost 3.9 million people. According to data from Roy Morgan Research, market leader 2Day’s total audience comprises 15% of this (568,000 people), well ahead of Mix106.5’s 10% market share (393,000 people). With 506,000 listeners, or 13% market share, Nova 96.9 FM has Sydney’s second-largest commercial audience. Battle of the breakfasters Breakfast (5.30–9am) is traditionally one of commercial radio’s most competitive timeslots, and has been dominated in Sydney by Southern Cross Austereo-owned 2Day FM’s Kyle and Jackie O Show for years. In the 12 months to September 2013, 349,000 Sydneysiders (or 9% of the city’s total radio market) listened to the show at least once in any given seven-day period. 2Day, Mix106.5 and Nova 96.9: total vs breakfast audience numbers 600 568 506 IMMEDIATE RELEASE 500 393 400 FOR 349 300 262 Audience ('000) 206 200 100 0 2Day FM Mix 106.5 Nova 96.9 Total Audience Breakfast Show Audience Source: Roy Morgan Single Source (Australia), October 2012-September 2013 (n = 10,135).

    To access the videos in the exercises, please enter the password abj2013 Chapter 1: Radio in Australia The radio services that we have in Australia are very much a product of their early- twentieth-century origins. As you will have read in Chapter 1 of Australian Broadcast Journalism, the three sectors we have today—commercial, community and public broadcasting—each have a distinct style and brief in relation to how they try to appeal to their audiences. You can hear this just by tuning into different stations and listening for yourself. Exercise 1: Listening to a range of programs The best way to learn about radio is to be a listener! Record a commercial program, a community program and an ABC program. 1 Compare their content and presentation styles. 2 What do the programs tell you about their respective audiences? 3 How do they reflect their respective briefs as commercial, community and public broadcasting services? Exercise 2: Podcasting Far from being dead, radio offers a wealth of creative opportunities in the digital age. In September 2013, Radio National’s Common Knowledge program aired a conversation with two innovators in the area of podcasting as part of a ‘radio beyond radio’ conference. Presenters Cassie McCullagh and Jason Di Rosso talked with Silvain Gire, Director and co-founder of Arte Radio, and Francesca Panetta, Special Projects Editor at The Guardian and creator of The Hackney Podcast.

  • Stamp Duty Implications of Taking Security Over Intellectual Property
    Bond Law Review Volume 2, Issue 1 1990 Article 7 Stamp Duty Implications of Taking Security over Intellectual Property Scott Tyne∗ ∗, Copyright c 1990 Scott Tyne. All rights reserved. This paper is posted at ePublications@Bond University. http://epublications.bond.edu.au/blr/vol2/iss1/7 Stamp Duty Implications of Taking Security over Intellectual Property Scott Tyne Abstract Patents, trade marks and other forms of intellectual property may be of considerable value and financiers are often asked to take security over these fights. Whilst it now seems clear that these forms of property are ‘property’ for the purposes of the various stamp acts’ it has been widely assumed that a mortgage or charge over intellectual or industrial property is not liable to mortgage or loan security duty. KEYWORDS: intellectual property STAMP DUTY [MPL[CAT[ONS OF TAKING SECUR[TY OVER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY by $co~t Tyne Solicitor Sydney Patents, trade marks and other forms of intellectual property may be of considerable value and financiers are often asked to take security over these fights. Whilst it now seems clear that these forms of property are ’property’ for the purposes of the various stamp acts’ it has been widely assumed that a mortgage or charge over intellectual or industrial property is not liable to mortgage or loan security duty. This assumption is founded upon two arguments. First, there is a constitutional argument based upon section 109 of the Constitution, which effectively provides that to the extent of an inconsistency between a State and a Commonwealth law the State law is inoperative. Inconsistency may arise where the relevant Commonwealth legislature ’covers the field’ in respect of a particular topic and the State law impinges upon that topic.
