Acknowledgements ACRAWSA e-journal, Vol. 2 , No. 1, 2006 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My thanks go first and foremost to the contributors and the referees. This issue exists be- cause of the quality and range of contributions and the willingness of the contributors to engage with feedback and revise their work. The individuals who refereed the essays did so on tight timelines generously offering constructive responses, suggestions and insights. I am very grateful for their collaboration in the process of putting together this issue. I would also like to thank the national executive of ACRAWSA for supporting this issue and the editing process. I would like to especially thank Jane Haggis for her timely suggestions and Damien Riggs for developing the templates for the journal, his technical expertise and responding instantly to all moments of panic in the process of preparing the copy for publication.

  • From the Desk of John Roskam, Executive Director [email protected]
    From the desk of John Roskam, Executive Director [email protected] 3 June 2020 Dear IPA Member I'm pleased to be writing to you my End Of Financial Year letter for this year for the Institute of Public Affairs. With this letter I have attached a donation form for our 2020 End Of Financial Year Appeal. As you know the IPA doesn't seek or receive government funding. The IPA relies for its funding entirely upon the voluntary financial contributions provided by its Members and supporters. We depend on people like you. Last year the revenue of the IPA was $6 million, 85% of which came from donations and 15% from membership fees. All donations made to our 2020 End Of Financial Year Appeal are devoted exclusively to supporting the research of the IPA and are tax deductible. For the IPA the last twelve months has been a time of achievement and growth. While for Australia the last twelve months falls into two parts – the time up until the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in March, and the time after it. The IPA over the last twelve months More than 6,000 Australians are Members of the IPA, the highest number in our more than 70 year history, while our revenue and cash reserves are likewise at record levels. To accommodate the increase in the number of staff of now nearly 50 employees, the IPA doubled the size of its headquarters in Melbourne during the year. Those 50 IPA employees include our IPA Generation Liberty Campus Coordinators working at sixteen universities around the country.

We’ve witnessed over $337 million in budget cuts,1 blatant attempts to censor and fire journalists for being critical of government policy,2 five hostile government inquiries,3 and an overwhelming vote to privatise the ABC from the Liberal Party Council.4 It’s a level of interference never before seen from a sitting Government towards our public broadcaster. But the Coalition has also attacked our ABC in ways that haven’t been visible, by stacking the ABC Board with their corporate mates, undermining its political independence in the process. We’ve recently witnessed the devastating consequences of this inside job. The Former ABC Chair Justin Milne - an old friend of Malcolm Turnbull - repeatedly sought to interfere in the ABC’s editorial decisions and attempted to force management to fire senior journalists for reporting that angered the Government.5 The rest of the Board chose to ignore these acts of political interference.6 The ABC Board should champion independent journalism and protect reporting from political influence. But it’s increasingly clear that Milne has effectively been acting as an agent of the Coalition Government and the rest of the board have, at the very least, sat on their hands in the face of political interference.

    We must make the building of a free society once more an intellectual adventure, a deed of courage... Unless we can make the philosophic foundations of a free society once more a living intellectual issue, and its implementation a task which challenges the ingenuity and imagination of our liveliest minds, the prospects of freedom are indeed dark. But if we can regain that belief in the power of ideas which was the mark of liberalism at its best, the battle is not lost. — Friedrich Hayek Contents Goals and Aims .................................................. 3 From the Executive Director ............................... 4 Research Programs Education .................................................... 6 FIVE from FIVE literacy program .................. 7 Economics ................................................... 8 Culture, Prosperity & Civil Society ...............10 Scholar-in-Residence ..........................................12 Liberty & Society Student Program ....................13 Consilium ..........................................................15 Events Highlights ...............................................17 Events at a Glance ............................................ 20 Media and Communications ............................. 23 Publications .......................................................24 Fundraising ........................................................27 Research Staff .................................................. 28 Staff ................................................................. 30 Board

  • The Social and Political Role of the Media
    3 The Social and Political 1 Role of the Media INTRODUCTION This chapter introduces some key concepts relating to the social and political role of the media. The chapter considers the ideas of the media as a public sphere and as the fourth estate of government. It also discusses the characteristics of the public, commercial and community sectors in Australian media, and the more recent importance of social media and the internet. The chapter finishes by introducing the contents of this book. In doing so, the concluding paragraphs comment on the regulatory and legal traditions that affect media institutions and how these carry through to contemporary media laws. This chapter surveys territory that has been the subject of intense academic exploration. What follows is a brief introduction to broad themes, but it provides a framework for thinking about media law and policy. 1.1 Social and political The media is often described as an ‘institution’. It is charged with social and political purposes that set it apart from most other types of enterprise. The media provides a forum for public debate. It provides the reporting, analysis and opinion necessary for citizens to make informed political decisions. At its best, it supports investigative journalism that holds powerful people and organisations to account on behalf of the public. The media can mobilise support or opposition around an issue and by doing so drive political action. All of this means the media plays an important role in a liberal democracy. A further purpose of the media is simply to entertain, but this is also important.1 The media we consume shapes our personal and cultural identity.

  • Village in the Jungle the Eighth Annual Doireann Macdermott Lecture
    Coolabah, No.5, 2011, ISSN 1988-5946, Observatori: Centre d’Estudis Australians, Australian Studies Centre, Universitat de Barcelona Village in the Jungle The Eighth Annual Doireann MacDermott Lecture Baden Offord Copyright©2011 Baden Offord. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged. Editor’s note. This paper is a slightly edited version of a keynote lecture, delivered at the Aula Magna of the University of Barcelona as The Eighth Annual Doireann MacDermott Lecture, organized by the university’s Australian Studies Centre in December 2007. Offord’s essay takes us from Leonard Woolf’s creative and ethical intervention in Britain’s colonial project, forged through a transformative vision of the ‘spirit of place’ in his novel The Village in the Jungle (1931), to the Australian specifics of colonialism and its aftermath. Highly critical of the dominant power structures in Australian society that keep sustaining the Enlightenment discourse of an unfinished colonial project, Offord delineates alternative strategies so as to deal with identity and belonging, arguing for a notion/nation of ‘cultural citizenship’, no longer based on exclusions. Key words: Leonard Woolf; Australian postcoloniality; cultural citizenship Part One During my undergraduate student days of Indian Studies at the University of Sydney I came across one of the most remarkable novels I have ever read, and which to me remains utterly compelling. The Village in the Jungle was written and published by Leonard Woolf (1931). The novel is set in what was then known as Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and is a gripping story surrounding the plight of husband and wife, Silindu and Dingihami, and their children.

  • The Allegations of Political Interference in the Australian Broadcasting Corporation
    CPSU Submission: The allegations of political interference in the Australian Broadcasting Corporation CPSU Submission: The allegations of political interference in the Australian Broadcasting Corporation Introductory Statement The Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU) would like to acknowledge and thank the Senators who voted in support of this inquiry. On behalf of CPSU members, we welcome the opportunity to make this submission. The ABC section of the CPSU represents editorial and operational staff employed by the ABC in its content making, technological, administrative and other professional areas. Like many Australians, CPSU members were concerned by the events of September 2018 that gave rise to this inquiry. The ABC is Australia’s most trusted media organisation, much loved by the Australian people. The leadership tensions between the former ABC Managing Director and Chair in September 2018, the role of the ABC Board, and the allegations that have ensued, raise fundamental questions about the governance and independence of the ABC. They also raise questions about the role that the Coalition Government has played given its demonstrated hostility towards the ABC. The independence of the ABC is paramount – it underpins the social contract which the ABC has with the Australian people, and it is what distinguishes the ABC from state media propaganda. The independence of the ABC Chair and ABC Board are paramount too. The people who Australians entrust to hold these positions cannot be political appointments for the government of the day. They are there to serve the 17 million plus Australians who read, watch, listen to and rely on ABC content every week.
