RELEASED: Wednesday, October 7, 2015 Australian Story: Raise Your Voice Airs Monday, October 12 at 8pm on ABC & introduced by Hugo Weaving What would you do if you lost something that’s been the essence of you for most of your life? Something that’s given you joy, a vocation, even fame – and then one day it starts slipping away... For singer Jenny Morris, that question recently became very real. The ARIA Award-winning performer makes a dramatic personal revelation in this week’s episode of Australian Story. She has been diagnosed with a life-changing medical condition. “It was evident that Jenny wanted to just play it down until she knew what was going on,” says her sister, singer Shanley Del. Jenny Morris first found success with New Zealand band The Crocodiles, before relocating to Australia in the early 1980s. After recording and touring with INXS as a backing singer, she established a successful solo career with hits such as Break in the Weather and She has to be Loved, as well as performing with Prince and Paul McCartney. About 10 years ago, she noticed something going on with her voice. “I’ve never talked about it publicly, and I think putting the word out there is going to give a sense of relief. That’s why I’m doing Australian Story because I think if you want to know what’s what, look at this program. Then I don’t have to explain it,” she says.

2019 - 2020 Year in Review
Pru Montin at Screen SongsHubs LA Nick Cave and Warren Ellis Photo: Courtney McAllister Photo: Daniel Boud Rochelle Pitt at Share the Spirit Photo: Jacinta Keefe 2019 - 2020 YEAR IN REVIEW Kimbra Photo: Nick Demarais 1 Message from the Chief Executive, Dean Ormston Bujari gamarruwa and kia ora I’d like to begin my message by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which I am writing from today, the Gadigal people of the Eora nation and pay my respects to Elders past and present. This financial year will be remembered by all of us for natural disasters including catastrophic bushfires and floods across Australia, a volcanic eruption in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, and now COVID-19. The pain and suffering experienced by so many of our members and licensees over the past 12 months has been far-reaching and terrible. Musicians and the music industry are always amongst the first to lend a hand to support, lift spirits and raise funds to rebuild community. The COVID-19 context has turned the tables and musicians have needed to put a call out for the support of governments and others. Individual and collective resilience has been tested. We’ve all had to cope with dramatic and unpredictable disruption and change. We’ve had to adapt quickly. Our priority over the past 12 months has been to support both our 108,000+ members and 114,000+ licensees. As the bushfires devastated enormous areas of Australia, and then COVID-19 spread across the globe, we moved quickly to provide direct support and advocate to government the plight of those that live and work in the original gig economy.
