    First Century Fox Inc and Sky Plc; European Intervention Notice

    Rt Hon Karen Bradley Secretary of State for Digital Culture Media and Sport July 14 2017 Dear Secretary of State Twenty-First Century Fox Inc and Sky plc; European Intervention Notice The Campaign for Press and Broadcasting is responding to your request for new submissions on the test of commitment to broadcasting standards. We are pleased to submit this short supplement to the submission we provided for Ofcom in March. As requested, the information is up-to-date, but we are adding an appeal to you to reconsider Ofcom’s recommendation to accept the 21CF bid on this ground, which we find wholly unconvincing in the light of the evidence we submitted. SKY NEWS IN AUSTRALIA In a pre-echo of the current buyout bid in the UK, Sky News Australia, previously jointly- owned with other media owners, became wholly owned by the Murdochs on December 1 last year. When the CPBF made its submission on the Commitment to Broadcasting Standards EIN to Ofcom in March there were three months of operation by which to judge the direction of the channel, but now there are three months more. A number of commentaries have been published. The Murdoch entity that controls Sky Australia is News Corporation rather than 21FC but the service is clearly following the Fox formula about which the CPBF commented to Ofcom. Indeed it is taking the model of broadcasting high-octane right-wing political commentary in peak viewing times even further. While Fox News has three continuous hours of talk shows on weekday evenings, Sky News Australia has five.

  • A Feminist Analysis of Female Political Potential Within the Masculinist State

    A Feminist Analysis of Female Political Potential Within the Masculinist State

    Olivia Freund* The University of Newcastle, Australia The Vanguard’s Voice: a Feminist Analysis of Female Political Potential within the Masculinist State This analysis presents two comparative examples of the first female Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, and former Prime Ministerial Chief of Staff, Peta Credlin, which demonstrate twofold how women in the political environment are inherently positioned as threats to patriarchal state processes and subconsciously adopt masculine behaviours in their professional practice. This reveals the coercive nature of the patriarchal state as it fundamentally subverts female political advancement and actively shapes political spaces to reproduce patriarchal hegemony. Keywords: Australian Labor Party, Australian Liberal Party, hegemony, professionalism, Federal politics, female leadership, internalised misogyny Introduction olitical hierarchies and social conventions in modern Western history P have been fundamentally shaped by gender differences, largely centring male advancement premised on the subordination and struggles of women. The role of the state throughout modern history has been integral in centring political hierarchies and structuring social convention. Alongside this, movements for women’s change have not always emphasised challenging the patriarchal motivations in the state framework but have certainly attempted to deconstruct patriarchal oppressions manifest on a personal platform. This analysis presents two contrasting examples which illustrate the power of the patriarchal state and its diverse manifestations – Australia’s first female Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, was positioned as a political ‘vanguard’ who challenged the structural gender hierarchy in politics but was also coerced into reinforcing patriarchal standards in her policies, and former Prime Ministerial chief of staff, Peta Credlin, who observably embodied masculine leadership traits in demonstrating how internalised misogyny perpetuates patriarchal norms.
  • Non-Mainstream Media Coverage Peter Chen

    Non-Mainstream Media Coverage Peter Chen

    20 Non-Mainstream Media Coverage Peter Chen From a media diversity perspective, Australia’s standing as an established democracy is not strong. When compared with peer democracies, Australia has the most concentrated media system in the world (Australian Collaboration 2015). The causes of this are various, but include comparatively small market size, ‘dumping’ of English-language content into the Australian market and lacklustre media policy that has facilitated media conglomerates to consolidate their market share (Winseck 2008). As part of this story, the popularisation of the internet over the last two decades has been an exacerbating factor and corrective: undermining the economic basis of established commercial media and eroding domestic regulatory capacity, while at the same time providing the capacity for the establishment of ‘new presses’. This chapter focuses on the conduct and performance of these ‘new presses’ in the 2016 federal election campaign. While the majority of these new media groups happens to be an internet-based press, the emphasis of this chapter is not on the technological basis of supply per se, but on their relative newness into the Australia marketplace. This breaks with a traditional tendency to see ‘new media’ as internet-based media, an increasingly meaningless classification tool given the increasing incorporation of new technology into the established media, as discussed by Andrea Carson and Brian McNair (Chapter 19, this volume). 453 DOUBLE DISILLUSION Method The primary research method employed for this chapter is the content analysis of articles published in 10 ‘new’ Australian-based1 publications— each less than seven years old2—that published material during the formal election period from 8 May to 1 July 2016 inclusive.

    22. Gender and the 2013 Election: the Abbott 'Mandate'

    22. Gender and the 2013 Election: The Abbott ‘mandate’ Kirsty McLaren and Marian Sawer In the 2013 federal election, Tony Abbott was again wooing women voters with his relatively generous paid parental leave scheme and the constant sight of his wife and daughters on the campaign trail. Like Julia Gillard in 2010, Kevin Rudd was assuring voters that he was not someone to make an issue of gender and he failed to produce a women’s policy. Despite these attempts to neutralise gender it continued to be an undercurrent in the election, in part because of the preceding replacement of Australia’s first woman prime minister and in part because of campaigning around the gender implications of an Abbott victory. To evaluate the role of gender in the 2013 election, we draw together evidence on the campaign, campaign policies, the participation of women, the discursive positioning of male leaders and unofficial gender-based campaigning. We also apply a new international model of the dimensions of male dominance in the old democracies and the stages through which such dominance is overcome. We argue that, though feminist campaigning was a feature of the campaign, traditional views on gender remain powerful. Raising issues of gender equality, as Julia Gillard did in the latter part of her prime ministership, is perceived as electorally damaging, particularly among blue-collar voters. The prelude to the election Gender received most attention in the run-up to the election in 2012–13 rather than during the campaign itself. Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s famous misogyny speech of 2012 was prompted in immediate terms by the Leader of the Opposition drawing attention to sexism in what she perceived as a hypocritical way.

    ABC Counts Down…. to 'Crack Up'!

    RELEASED: Wednesday 30 September, 2015 ABC counts down…. to ‘Crack Up’! Mental As… 4 – 11 October 2015 As the ABC prepares for the launch of its Mental As... initiative on Sunday, we’re delighted to release details for Saturday Night Crack Up, one of our main opportunities to raise funds for research into mental health. Hosted by Eddie Perfect, the show is guaranteed to be a jam-packed two hours of variety featuring music, dance and a whole lot of fun. Tune in to ABC from 7.30pm on Saturday 10th October, coinciding with World Mental Health Day – also streamed live on ABC iview. House band The Bamboos, led by Musical Director John Foreman, will be live in the studio and Ed Kavalee returns as show announcer to keep us up to date with money raised throughout the night. HG Nelson (Greig Pickhaver) joins us this year as host of the Crack Up ‘Grab for Cash’, where Michala Banas and Toby Truslove will lead a host of other famous faces through some fun games while raising money for the cause. Julia Morris has agreed to head out on the road – appropriately in a Morris – with the mission of finding out what some of our best known faces do to stay happy. Appearing alongside Julia are Father Bob, Nazeem Hussain, Richard Reid, Kate Ceberano, Josh Thomas, Anthony Callea, Dipper, Derryn Hinch, Rob Mills, Fifi Box and Kerri-Ann Kennerly. And comedian Dave Callan will attempt to do something pretty amazing – dance for 24 hours, hopefully completing this mission during the show.

    Timbuckleyieefa DIRTY POWER BIG COAL's NETWORK of INFLUENCE OVER the COALITION GOVERNMENT CONTENTS

    ICAC investigation: Lobbying, Access and Influence (Op Eclipse) Submission 2 From: Tim Buckley To: Lobbying Subject: THE REGULATION OF LOBBYING, ACCESS AND INFLUENCE IN NSW: A CHANCE TO HAVE YOUR SAY Date: Thursday, 16 May 2019 2:01:39 PM Attachments: Mav2019-GPAP-Dirtv-Power-Report.Ddf Good afternoon I am delighted that the NSW ICAC is looking again into the issue of lobbying and undue access by lobbyists representing self-serving, private special interest groups, and the associated lack of transparency. This is most needed when it relates to the private (often private, foreign tax haven based entities with zero transparency or accountability), use of public assets. IEEFA works in the public interest analysis relating to the energy-fmance-climate space, and so we regularly see the impact of the fossil fuel sector in particular as one that thrives on the ability to privatise the gains for utilising one-time use public assets and in doing so, externalising the costs onto the NSW community. This process is constantly repeated. The community costs, be they in relation to air, particulate and carbon pollution, plus the use of public water, and failure to rehabilitate sites post mining, brings a lasting community cost, particularly in the area of public health costs. The cost-benefit analysis presented to the IPC is prepared by the proponent, who has an ability to present biased self-serving analysis that understates the costs and overstates the benefits. To my understanding, the revolving door of regulators, politicians, fossil fuel companies and their lobbyists is corrosive to our democracy, undermining integrity and fairness.
