    STORYTELLING AND NEW MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES: INVESTIGATING THE POTENTIAL OF THE ABC’S HEYWIRE FOR REGIONAL YOUTH Sasha Mackay Bachelor of Fine Arts (Hons), Creative Writing Production Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2015 Keywords Australian Broadcasting Corporation Heywire new media narrative identity public service media regional Australia storytelling voice youth Storytelling and new media technologies: investigating the potential of the ABC’s Heywire for regional youth i Abstract This thesis takes a case study approach to examine the complexity of audience participation within the Australian public service media institution, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). New media technologies have both enabled and necessitated an increased focus on user created content and audience participation within the context of public service media (PSM) worldwide and such practices are now embedded within the remit of these institutions. Projects that engage audiences as content creators and as participants in the creation of their own stories are now prevalent within PSM; however, these projects represent spaces of struggle: a variety of institutional and personal agendas intersect in ways that can be fruitful though at other times produce profound challenges. This thesis contributes to the wider conversation on audience participation in the PSM context by examining the tensions that emerge at this intersection of agendas, and the challenges and potentials these produce for the institution as well as the individuals whose participation it invites. The case study for this research – Heywire – represents one of the first instances of content-related participation within the ABC.

  • Review of Electricity and Gas Retail Markets in Victoria
    Submission to the Review of electricity and gas retail markets in Victoria Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) Brotherhood of St Laurence March 2017 About the Brotherhood of St Laurence The Brotherhood of St Laurence (BSL) is an independent non-government organisation with strong community links that has been working to reduce poverty in Australia since the 1930s. Based in Melbourne, but with a national profile, the BSL continues to fight for an Australia free of poverty. We undertake research, service development and delivery, and advocacy with the objective of addressing unmet needs and translating the understandings gained into new policies, new programs and practices for implementation by government and others. Brotherhood of St Laurence 67 Brunswick Street Fitzroy Vic. 3065 ABN 24 603 467 024 Ph. (03) 9483 1183 www.bsl.org.au For further information or to discuss this submission, please contact: Damian Sullivan Research and Policy, Senior Manager, Energy, Equity and Climate Change Brotherhood of St Laurence Email: [email protected] Ph. (03) 9483 1176 Mob. 0414 960 274 Introduction The Brotherhood of St Laurence commends the Victorian Government for undertaking the Review of electricity and gas retail markets in Victoria and we welcome the opportunity to provide a submission. Central to our approach is – energy is an essential service. Without the services energy enables – heating, cooling, lighting, entertainment – households’ health, wellbeing, social and economic participation are all put at risk. Such concerns are not merely academic. We know the numbers of disconnections have increased – forcing some households to go without energy, at the same time we know other households trade off paying their energy bills with other needs such as buying food or participation in school excursions (see for example Chesters 2013).

EnergyAustralia is one of Australia's largest energy companies, providing gas and electricity to 2.6 million household and business customer accounts in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and the Australian Capital Territory. EnergyAustralia owns and operates 5,000 MW electricity generation, which includes rights to more than 1,000 MW of renewable energy, In Victoria we have 500,000 customers, 2500 MW of electricity generation capacity and employ over 2000 people. Our position in summary EnergyAustralia supports the Victorian Government's climate change vision of a positive, orderly and just transition for all Victorians. To us this means transitioning Victoria's emission intensive energy mix to cleaner forms of energy in a way that minimises costs to households and businesses and ensures reliability is maintained. We think the best way to achieve this is through national and bipartisan agreement on emissions reduction. This is why we support the National Energy Guarantee (the Guarantee).
