This thesis is hugely indebted to my supervisors Dr Adrian Danks and Professor Ina Bertrand, who consistently provided encouragement, reliable direction, academic and practical support, access to resources, funding and academic opportunities. I am forever grateful to Ina who taught me the importance of „doing things correctly‟, and welcoming me into her country home.

  • Time Out: 1. a Croc of Gold? 2. Lights, Camera, Glasnost
    38 AUSTRALIAN LEFT REVIEW A Croc of Gold? Is Australia's film policy producing trash? Toby Miller. The US market beckons: Yahoo Serious in Young Einstein. t isn’t always easy to know what people are talking about when I they voice the words “the Australian film industry”. The term serves to bring together some very diverse filmmaking and funding practices that have very distinct sorts of politics. It is odd to unify under the one heading, for example, a polite pornographic western (Picnic at Hanging Rock), a fish-out-of-water Winfield farce ('Crocodile Dundee) and a complex- feminist documentary drama (Serious Undertakings). They are funded differently, made for different purposes, and shown in very different types of venue. But the topic of “the Australian film industry” has become a significant one in a variety of quarters. For Bob Hawke," apparently, it stands on a par with social inequality: just as he has guaranteed the eradication of child poverty by 1990, he has guaranteed the survival of the film industry. For Gary Punch, film is “Australia’s broadest-based element of culture”. The link between the tourism industry and film as an “international calling-card" makes a “magnificent contribution to the nation”. Film industry workers and bureaucrats, confused and concerned by the way that taxation rebates (the 10BA scheme) have acted to encourage large numbers of unpopular, expensive and politically barren films, have sought other AUSTRALIAN LEFT REVIEW 39 options. Only the American and Indian industries survive without state support: that possibility was effectively ruled out from the beginning.

The chapters in the section entitled 'Musical Associations' this(as title JON FITZGERALD suggests) tend to focus on the way soundtracks can be viewed in a socio-cultural context and the authors examine a diverse selection ofthemes: the use of indigenous music in Australian films; the role of popular songs in the successful films Muriel s ilm music must rate as one of the most fascinating yet frustrating art fonns Wedding (1994) and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994); the use of film music for those concerned with documenting aspects of popular culture.

Soon there will be no living links to that chapter of our history, which inspired the formation of the KTF to repay the debt of honour we owe to the beloved WWII Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels by working to improve the lives and futures of their descendants. During the year in review we undertook an assessment of our operations and we reset our goals, mid and long-term. From its inception as a provider of educational scholarships, the KTF has grown into a sophisticated and agile deliverer of aid to PNG. To reflect the growth and change in emphasis of our work, we decided to rebrand the organisation from the Kokoda Track Foundation to KTF. Part of the rebrand was the introduction of our new logo, a stylised interpretation of the Queen Alexandra Birdwing Butterfly (the biggest in the world and, fittingly, only found in the Kokoda region).
