  • Special Investigation Premieres Sunday 2 May at 8Pm AEST
    MEDIA RELEASE: Monday April 19, 2021 Special Investigation Premieres Sunday 2 May at 8pm AEST WATCH PROMO HERE Sky News Australia presents an important special investigation, Men In The Mirror: Rudd & Turnbull. Presented by Sky News Host and The Australian’s Associate Editor Chris Kenny, the one-hour special investigation examines the extraordinary parallel lives of two former Australian Prime Ministers – Kevin Rudd and Malcolm Turnbull. Once enemies and aggressive rivals, Rudd and Turnbull saw each other as the main barrier to each other’s destiny, as their naked ambitions defined one of the most turbulent times in Australian politics. Now, they're united in bitterness as the most unlikely of allies. They have thrust themselves back into the spotlight with an extraordinary campaign to try to save their legacies, by shifting the blame of their demise onto the media, in particular News Corp media organisations. Sky News investigates the real story behind their success and ultimate failures. A former chief of staff to Malcolm Turnbull, Chris Kenny explores every aspect of the former Prime Ministers’ lives, probing the shared narrative that binds the two. From boys suffering loss to leaders of their country, they were both shaped by childhood trauma, rose rapidly in brilliant pre-politics careers, and married strong women before leading their parties and their nation. They shaped a tumultuous period that might have forever changed Australia’s political paradigm. The documentary hears from people who know these men well and have seen them in close quarters. Interviewees include Kevin Rudd’s brother and Canberra lobbyist, Greg Rudd, former Labor party leader Mark Latham, former Liberal party minister Sharman Stone, former QLD Premier Peter Beattie, political commentator Tom Switzer, former Liberal senator Nick Minchin, veteran cartoonist Warren Brown, former editor in chief of The Australian Chris Mitchell and Sky News Anchor and former Turnbull staffer Peta Credlin.

  • Introduction
    A submission to The Environment and Communications References Committee Inquiry into Media Diversity in Australia from The Centre for Advancing Journalism The University of Melbourne Authors: Denis Muller, Andrew Dodd, Jo Chandler, Louisa Lim, Brad Buller Introduction We thank the Environment and Communications References Committee for the opportunity to make a submission to this inquiry into media diversity in Australia. It is a topic of great importance to every citizen of Australia and one that is central to the mission of the Centre for Advancing Journalism. Media diversity both reflects and engenders a healthy democracy. Without pluralism in ownership and content, both the media and the society it serves are diminished. This submission addresses several of the terms of reference of the inquiry, namely the two closely connected themes of media diversity and independence, and their impacts on both public interest journalism and democracy. It also specifically addresses the following aims: (a) the current state of public interest journalism in Australia and any barriers to Australian voters’ ability to access reliable, accurate and independent news; (b) the effect of media concentration on democracy in Australia; (c) the impact of Australia’s media ownership laws on media concentration in Australia; (d) the impact of significant changes to media business models since the advent of online news and the barriers to viability and profitability of public interest news services; (e) the impact of online global platforms such as Facebook, Google and Twitter on the media industry and sharing of news in Australia; (f) the barriers faced by small, independent and community news outlets in Australia; (g) the role that a newswire service plays in supporting diverse public interest journalism in Australia; (h) the state of local, regional and rural media outlets in Australia; (i) the role of government in supporting a viable and diverse public interest journalism sector in Australia; and 1 (j) any other related matters.

  • The Rudd/Gillard Government, Asylum Seekers, and the Politics of Norm
    The Rudd/Gillard Government, Asylum Seekers, and the Politics of Norm Contestation Katja Cooper B Arts (International Relations)/B Laws (Hons) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2019 School of Political Science and International Relations (POLSIS) i Abstract This thesis examines the important role that humanitarian arguments played in influencing the trajectory of Australia’s asylum seeker policy during the Prime Ministerships of Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard (2007 – 2013). In the leadup to the 2007 Federal Election, Rudd declared that Australia had a moral obligation to treat asylum seekers with compassion because the ‘biblical injunction to care for the stranger in our midst is clear.’ During his first year in office, Rudd largely fulfilled his promise to comply with the ‘letter and the spirit’ of the Refugee Convention by ending offshore detention on Nauru and Manus Island, abolishing Temporary Protection Visas (TPVs), and declaring that mandatory detention would only be used as a ‘last resort.’ However, by 2013, Labor’s humanitarian platform on Irregular Maritime Arrivals (IMAs) had been largely abandoned. Faced with a significant increase in boat arrivals, an overburdened immigration detention system and an increasingly hostile public, both Rudd and his successor Gillard responded by gradually reintroducing the punitive measures that had comprised the Howard Government’s Pacific Solution. In order to ascertain why Rudd’s attempt to take Australia’s asylum seeker policy in a more humanitarian direction was unable to be sustained, I will undertake a normative analysis of the language that both Labor and the Coalition used in order to legitimate their respective asylum seeker policies during the Rudd/Gillard era.

  • It Is the Knight to Call It a Day on Peta Credlin
    It is the knight to call it a day on Peta Credlin MIRANDA DEVINE THE DAILY TELEGRAPH JANUARY 28, 2015 12:00AM TONY Abbott’s gonging of Prince Philip makes no political sense. It shows Gillardesque poor judgement. Honestly. In one neat image the wacky self-indulgence crystallises all the disquiet about the Prime Minister since he took office 16 months ago. And it raises the big question of why someone in his army of advisers didn’t save him from himself. At least Abbott’s poor judgment calls don’t cost the nation billions of dollars, or kill people, as did the blunders of his predecessors Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard. But the universal condemnation of his “captain’s call” of an Australia Day knighthood for the Queen’s husband might finally be the jolt that makes the Prime Minister realise he is facing an existential political challenge. PAUL TOOHEY: IS IT TIME FOR ABBOTT TO GO? EDITORIAL: ABBOTT IS DISTRACTED FROM THE MAIN GAME When we’re still in January of the year in which he was supposed to have pushed the reset button, and there are rumbles from his party about changing leaders, you know there’s a problem. The Liberals would be nuts to move on Abbott, but they know the mood in their heartland is black. Even monarchists are appalled that he has managed to breathe life back into the dormant republic cause. It raises the big question of why someone in his army of advisers didn’t save him from himself. All summer at dinner parties and BBQs across Sydney, Abbott supporters have been talking with increasing dismay about his leadership style, indecision, backdowns, lack of strategy, tin ear, and the way his office micromanages and over-thinks everything.

  • Political Economy and Discourse in Murdoch's Flagship Newspaper, The
    The Political Economy of Communication 4(2), 3–17 © The Author 2016 http://www.polecom.org Political economy and discourse in Murdoch’s flagship newspaper, The Australian John Sinclair, University of Melbourne Keywords: Rupert Murdoch, The Australian, proprietorial influence, elite discourse, political correctness Abstract The Australian is News Corporation’s flagship newspaper in Australia. The only truly national, general daily, The Australian demands that it be taken seriously, not only as a ‘newspaper of record’, but as an actor in the business, politics and culture of the nation. Established by Rupert Murdoch in 1964, The Australian is widely understood to be his vehicle of influence, but more than that, it may serve as a case study of how his proprietorial influence is mediated in practice. The political economy of The Australian is striking in that it is not a profitable operation, and although it serves to cross-promote other interests of News Corp Australia, the paper appears to exist principally for the purpose of exerting its overt ideological agenda. An implicit assumption in the political economy literature is that ownership entails control, but there are rare opportunities to examine just how this is mediated. However, the chance to research this issue came at the end of 2015, with the retirement of Chris Mitchell, the longest-serving editor-in- chief of The Australian, and the subsequent publication of his memoir in 2016. The present study shows that in addition to the predictable neoliberal agenda of the Murdoch-owned media evident in the US and UK, The Australian under Mitchell’s direction pursued campaigns of its own.
