Tommy Raudonikis RUGBY LEAGUE Tommy is to League what Bart Cummings is to racing or Ron Barassi is to AFL: The Godfather Tough, tenacious ‘Tom Terrific’ never took a backward step on the football field. He terrorised his opponents with his resolute competitiveness. With never a thought for his own welfare, he would take on the biggest forward and chase down the quickest half-back. And he always liked to leave them with a little something to remember him by! Testimony to his toughness was the celebrated occasion in 1977 when he was relegated to the reserve bench in an interstate match in favour of a young Steve Mortimer. NSW was losing when Raudonikis took to the field late in the second half and he soon instigated a fight with his opposite number Greg Oliphant (who was being treated for an injury on the sideline!) An inspired NSW went on to a narrow 14-13 win after a great try. But it wasn’t all toughness – Tommy was silky-skilled and quick off the mark and had a deadly short-kicking game. According to one commentator, Tommy was “the little bloke who’d rather score a try in a rugby match than have a feed, I feel!” Raudonikis coached the Blues in 1997 and 1998. In those series he entered Origin folklore when he introduced the Cattledog call. The NSW players responded by breaking from the scrum, fists flying, resulting in two infamous all-in-brawls. After a playing and coaching career when ‘never say die’ was taken to the extreme, Tommy is now just happy to pop up during Origin season, waiting for his Blues to restore some of their recent lost pride. Maybe he should make another comeback! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tggNOZf1MA www.thekfaktor.com .

Australia and the Pacific

AUSTRALIA AND THE PACIFIC: THE AMBIVALENT PLACE OF PACIFIC PEOPLES WITHIN CONTEMPORARY AUSTRALIA Scott William Mackay, BA (Hons), BSc July 2018 Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Australian Indigenous Studies Program School of Culture and Communication The University of Melbourne 0000-0002-5889 – Abstract – My thesis examines the places (real and symbolic) accorded to Pacific peoples within the historical production of an Australian nation and in the imaginary of Australian nationalism. It demonstrates how these places reflect and inform the ways in which Australia engages with the Pacific region, and the extent to which Australia considers itself a part of or apart from the Pacific. While acknowledging the important historical and contemporary differences between the New Zealand and Australian contexts, I deploy theoretical concepts and methods developed within the established field of New Zealand- centred Pacific Studies to identify and analyse what is occurring in the much less studied Australian-Pacific context. In contrast to official Australian discourse, the experiences of Pacific people in Australia are differentiated from those of other migrant communities because of: first, Australia’s colonial and neo-colonial histories of control over Pacific land and people; and second, Pacific peoples' important and unique kinships with Aboriginal Australians. Crucially the thesis emphasises the significant diversity (both cultural and national) of the Pacific experience in Australia. My argument is advanced first by a historicisation of Australia’s formal engagements with Pacific people, detailing intersecting narratives of their migration to Australia and Australia’s colonial and neo- colonial engagements within the Pacific region.

Sir Peter Leitch Club at MT SMART STADIUM, HOME of the MIGHTY VODAFONE WARRIORS

Sir Peter Leitch Club AT MT SMART STADIUM, HOME OF THE MIGHTY VODAFONE WARRIORS 26th September 2018 Newsletter #237 And Then There Were Two By David Kemeys Former Sunday Star-Times Editor, Former Editor-in-Chief Suburban Newspapers, Long Suffering Warriors Fan HE MELBOURNE Storm and the Roosters, the sides that finished one and two this year, will contest the Tgrand final. I am conflicted. My grandson is a Roosters fan, and nearly swallowed his ears when Joseph Manu gave him his boots after the win over the Bunnies. There was talk of the grandparents nipping over to go to the final to share the experience with him but that’s not going to happen. On the one hand I hate the Roosters. On the other, I hate the Storm too. This causes no end of annoyance to various people at the Storm, who actually read my rants, but truth be known the hatred is purely jealousy. They are the club we all aspire to be, brilliant, consistent, great to watch and in Cameron Smith and Billy Slat- er they have the two best players of a generation. Until Cooper Cronk buggered off to the Roosters they had three. And now we find Slater’s participation in the grand final has been confirmed. Conflicted I said, hell yes. I’m glad he will get to go out on a high and sign off on a wonderful career in the biggest game of all. On the other hand, he should not have got away with it. No surprise there is now hell on.
