Bill 2020 and Australia's Foreign Relations (State Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Committee Department of the Senate PO Box 6100 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Re: Australia’s Foreign Relations (State and Territory Arrangements) Bill 2020 and Australia’s Foreign Relations (State and Territory Arrangements) (Consequential Amendments) Bill 2020 Dear Sir/Madam: Action requested: Stop CCP agent radio propaganda in Australia Background: 3CW is an organization who is belong to China Radio international branch.(Ref 1) In public official as we know: 3CW is owned by sole director and secretary Mr Zhao Qing Jiang. Mr Jiang is a director of various Chinese media entities, including Sydney Chinese Radio Pty Ltd, Canberra Chinese Radio Pty Ltd, Perth Community Television Pty Ltd, The Chinese Weekly Pty Ltd, Australian Oriental Film & Television Production Pty Ltd, Ostar International Media Group Pty Ltd, FM104.9 Network Pty Ltd, ACT Radio Net Pty Ltd and AIMG Holdings Pty Ltd.(Ref 2) 3CW is a Chinese language radio station based in South Melbourne, Victoria. The station's main service broadcasts under a high powered open narrowcast (HPON) licence on 1341 kHz AM, operated by AIMG Holdings. The transmitter is located in Leopold, Victoria, facing Port Phillip Bay. Descriptions: 1341 license is owned by Grant Broadcasters, and is leased to the broadcasters. This frequency was formerly occupied by 3GL before it converted to FM in the 1990s. 3CW also broadcasts a Chinese music formatted station in the AM narrowband. Branded 3CW 1620AM Program, the station is broadcast from Bayswater. Let we see how they use this MUSIC channel to assist CCP propaganda Chinese news and other events. A few examples that I listened from the reado(ref 3): 16 September 2020 Page 2 20:50 of 15 September 2020: The program is called “Global Chinese”. The host chat about Taiwan and USA relationship. He said: “If the United States sells weapons to Taiwan, we must protect our homeland.”, and he is also state: “If the United States comes war, then we are not afraid of a nuclear war between the two powers”. 19:10 of 15 September 2020: Part of topic from the news broadcast. The news reader descripts how serious coronavirus in Australia and Victoria, there are a lot of patients’ dead, and Melbourne is still under stage 4, public complaints every where. Then she compared with China Wuhan where has already defeated the virus, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. (I guess she try to lead audience mind) 9 July 2019 (I did not remember the time) China Central radio news: Chairman Xi Jinping spoke at the national conference: The Communist Party is dedicated to serving the people and governing for the country. China's foreign exchange reserves increased slightly in the first half of the year, reaching 0.6% On the 82nd anniversary of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Beijing Exhibition Hall exhibited the real objects and photos of the cultural resistance of the Communist Party of China. Iran has increased the charges for freighters passing through the Strait of Holmes, mainly treating the United States and Western countries that support punishment of Iran and protesting unfair treatment. 22:30 of 7 July 2019: News from Chinanews.com: Hong Kong citizens condemn demonstrators for undermining Hong Kong's legal system and must be severely punished. Former Secretary for Security Ip Ms Lau Shu-yee said that the impact on the Legislative Council is serious, and the police must attack in depth and not miss it. (When Ms Yee was in power, she stepped down because of improper handling of anti-Article 23 demonstrations) All most of Australian Chinese immigrates know the fact: The Chinese consulate doesn't like all the media that they can't control. I met some Chinese overseas students; I were told they are afraid spoke sensitive topics that will report to their motherland and will caused trouble when they return. In Melbourne, Mr Jiang Zhaoqing’s Australian radio station censored program content and punished announcers in accordance with instructions issued by the Chinese Communist Party. In the recording of "Four Corners",(Ref 4) Mr Jiang Zhaoqing criticized Melbourne's veteran announcer Mr Xiaolu who is one of the radio host after the show for allowing listeners to criticize Beijing on the hotline. “You arbitrarily let them scold China and the Communist Party in the air, and the language is so vicious, how can it be done?" Mr Jiang Zhaoqing said in the recording. I have monitored 3CW for while, found 3CW has not changed at all since it was established at later 1990. Even in pre and pro Australia Anti-Foreign Intervention Act has released, their actions are still going. 16 September 2020 Page 3 I am writing to encourage you to review the law and seeking any proper solutions to stop CCP media show their soft power in Australia. My friends and I came from China after Tiananmen Massacre in 1989. We were suffered and know the evil of the CCP. Recently I have seen CCP exert more influence in Australia than before. Please do action to prevent the communist from attacking. I thank you for your patience and I am looking forward to hearing from you.

  • Productivity Commission Broadcasting Inquiry Submission by the Australian Association of Independent Regional Radio Broadcasters
    1 Productivity Commission Broadcasting Inquiry Submission by the Australian Association of Independent Regional Radio Broadcasters (IRB) May, 1999 2 Contact For inquiries relating to this submission, please contact: Mr D L Foster Director Australian Association of Independent Regional Radio Broadcasters PO Box 429 FRENCHS FOREST NSW 2086 Tel: (02) 9975 6746 Fax: (02) 9975 6749 E-mail: [email protected] 1 1. Introduction 1.1 The Australian Association of Independent Regional Radio Broadcasters (IRB) is an unincorporated association of licensees of 69 commercial radio broadcasting stations located outside the mainland State capitals. Membership is limited to licensees who own or control regional stations and who do not own or control television stations or newspapers as defined in the Broadcasting Services Act 1992. A list of members and the markets in which their stations are located is provided at Appendix A (page 12). 1.2 Although IRB members are also members of the Federation of Australian Radio Broadcasters (FARB) they recognise that from time to time FARB may not be able to adopt a position on certain issues because of conflicting interests within the commercial radio industry. An example of this is the issue of cross-media ownership. 1.3 In general terms, IRB members support FARB’s submission to this inquiry. IRB’s submission is therefore confined to matters not dealt with by FARB, or supplements FARB’s comments. 1.4 In IRB’s view, generalisations about broadcasting, and particularly commercial broadcasting, can be misleading and should be avoided. At many levels there are profound differences between radio and television, between metropolitan and regional broadcasting and even between large regional markets as opposed to medium and small regional markets.

  • An Ipswich Case Study: How Does Local Broadcast Media Value, Esteem and Provide Voice to a Rapidly Changing Urban Centre?
    An Ipswich Case Study: How Does Local Broadcast Media value, esteem and provide voice to a rapidly changing urban centre? Doctor of Philosophy Ashley Paul Jones Graduate Diploma of Media Production Master of Arts in Media Production 2016 i ABSTRACT Radio is part of our everyday life experience in various rooms around the home, in the car and as a portable device. Its impact and connection with the local community was immediate since its inception in Australia in 1923. Radio became directly part of the City of Ipswich in 1935 with the birth of 4IP (Ipswich). Local people were avid consumers of broadcast media and recognised that, in particular, 4IP was something that they could both participate in and consume. It gave people a voice; historically 4IP broadcast local choirs, soloists, produced youth programs and generally reflected the community in which it existed. The radio station moved out of Ipswich and established itself in Brisbane during 1970s. This move resulted in a loss of a voice in the local area through broadcast radio. Similarly, the place, Ipswich City changed dramatically and is confronted with significant population growth and the emergence of an old and new Ipswich that is potentially problematic for the local council to manage. The aim is to provide a sense of localism that was strongly present in the early decades of Ipswich as evidenced by the interactions with 4IP; the identity of the two is remarkable because of their parallel flux. My thesis will provide a unique insight into the relationship between a community, that community’s membership and local radio services.

    MEDIA RELEASE 3 April 2019 Commercial digital radio services launch in Hobart Commercial radio is now broadcasting on DAB+ digital radio in Hobart, offering listeners better sound quality and more choice, with three new DAB+ commercial stations now on air – KIX Country, Easy Hits and Triple M Classic Rock. Joan Warner, chief executive officer of industry body Commercial Radio Australia, said: “We’re pleased listeners in Hobart now have the option to listen on AM, FM and DAB+. They can enjoy the benefits of digital radio, including better sound quality and more station choice, listen to their favourite station and try some of the new stations on offer.” Consumers will need a DAB+ radio to receive the new services, but listeners who have purchased a new car recently may already have one as 65% of all new cars sold in Australia are now factory fitted with a DAB+ radio. Listeners simply need to press scan or autotune on the radio to see the new stations appear in the station list. Digital radio was introduced in the five major capital cities in 2009. More than 4.21 million people, or 30% of the population aged 10 and over, listened to DAB+ digital radio each week in the five metro capital cities in 2018. The total number of DAB+ radios in Australia, including those in cars, rose to 4.73 million at the end of 2018. Alison Cameron, chief executive officer of Grant Broadcasters said: “We’re pleased our Hobart listeners have permanent DAB+ broadcasts and we hope they will enjoy our new DAB+ station KIX Country.” Southern Cross Austereo chief executive officer, Grant Blackley said: “DAB+ digital radio continues to grow and we’re excited to introduce SCA’s DAB+ stations to Hobart listeners.” DAB+ radios feature small screens with text information such as program information, the name of the song currently playing, and news and weather updates.
