Dan takes on the “MAN” On behalf of the entire club, I would like to wish Daniel Geale all the best for his upcoming bout with Anthony “The Man” Mundine, please give him one from all the club members. GOOD LUCK DAN!! BY HIS own admission, not many people recognise world boxing champion Daniel Geale on the street. But those who do pretty much say the same thing. "Just about everybody I meet says, 'When you knock Anthony Mundine out, make sure you pick him back up and knock him out again'," Geale says, laughing. "I get a lot of that. It's good to know that I have a lot of support out there - it gives me confidence." The quietly spoken Tasmanian is more comfortable letting his fists do the talking ahead of defending his IBO middleweight world title against Mundine in Brisbane on Wednesday night. He'd probably have little choice anyway: it's unlikely he'd get a word in with "The Man". But Sydney-based Geale, 28, still managed to deliver an early blow yesterday, questioning the wisdom of Mundine moving down a division to middleweight. "He is coming down from super middleweight. He hasn't shown a lot of strength at that weight yet," Geale said. "That's something I'm going to test out." Indeed, the world title fight will be only Mundine's second outing as a middleweight, although Geale admitted: "It remains to be seen if it brings his power down. "But he doesn't seem to be punching as hard as he used to. I have dropped weight over my life, and it's not easy and it's a lot harder when you are older." Geale is one of Mundine's toughest prospects, and one of the most underrated. He's had 160 amateur bouts, including a Commonwealth Games gold medal from Manchester in 2002, and is unbeaten as a professional (21-0, including 13 knockouts). "I'm glad to be under the radar," he said. "But this is a massive opportunity for me." .

Boxing, Governance and Western Law
An Outlaw Practice: Boxing, Governance and Western Law Ian J*M. Warren A Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Human Movement, Performance and Recreation Victoria University 2005 FTS THESIS 344.099 WAR 30001008090740 Warren, Ian J. M An outlaw practice : boxing, governance and western law Abstract This investigation examines the uses of Western law to regulate and at times outlaw the sport of boxing. Drawing on a primary sample of two hundred and one reported judicial decisions canvassing the breadth of recognised legal categories, and an allied range fight lore supporting, opposing or critically reviewing the sport's development since the beginning of the nineteenth century, discernible evolutionary trends in Western law, language and modern sport are identified. Emphasis is placed on prominent intersections between public and private legal rules, their enforcement, paternalism and various evolutionary developments in fight culture in recorded English, New Zealand, United States, Australian and Canadian sources. Fower, governance and regulation are explored alongside pertinent ethical, literary and medical debates spanning two hundred years of Western boxing history. & Acknowledgements and Declaration This has been a very solitary endeavour.

Fair Go’ Principle Which Suggests That Everyone Is Entitled to Fairness by Way of Shared Opportunity – Such As with Education, Health, Social Security, and So On
Australian society has long been imbued with a ‘fair go’ principle which suggests that everyone is entitled to fairness by way of shared opportunity – such as with education, health, social security, and so on. For advocates, this mantra underpins a society that, while unequal, is not characterized by vast differences in wealth and living standards (Herscovitch, 2013). To critics, though, the ‘fair go’ notion is either idealistic or completely unrealistic, as well as a distraction from entrenched differences of opportunity and power in Australian society (Lawrence, 2017). For Indigenous Australians, the notion of a ‘fair go’ in a society in which generations of Aboriginal peoples have suffered manifestly is particularly fraught (Tatz, 2017).1 Even the semantics of a ‘fair go’ can be construed as discriminatory by way of ‘race’:2 for example, ‘fairness’ has long focused on opportunities for fair skinned (i.e. White) Australians (Fotinopoulos, 2017). Revelations that in many parts of Australia during the early to mid-late twentieth century, Aboriginal children were forcibly removed from families and placed in foster care – under the guise of welfare – prompted a report into what became known as the Stolen Generations (Murphy, 2011). In 2008, the Federal Government issued a national apology and committed to a reconciliation process. This includes ‘closing the gap’ initiatives featuring twin efforts: to help all Australians come to terms with a harrowing history of racial discrimination and conflict, and to catalyze improvements to the lives of Aboriginal peoples (Gunstone, 2017; Kowal, 2015). In this article we are interested in the question of a ‘fair go’ for Indigenous peoples, particularly the role of Aboriginal voices in seeking to (re)shape symbols of identity, representation, and nationality.

Indigenous Australian Art Photography: an Intercultural Approach

Smith, Geoffrey and Smith, Damian, 2003. Sidney Nolan: Desert and Drought. Melbourne: National Gallery of Victoria. _________________________________________________________________ Indigenous Australian Art Photography: an Intercultural Approach. Elisabeth Gigler, University of Klagenfurt Aboriginal art has become a big business over the last decades. This demand for Indigenous art, however, has mostly been reduced to paintings. Art photography produced by Indigenous Australian artists is hardly an issue within this context and mostly not associated with the term “Aboriginal art” in mainstream society and on the mainstream art markets. This is also, why most people, when I told them about my PhD project and the title of it, “An Intercultural Perspective on Indigenous Australian Art Photography”—they connected my topic immediately with photographs taken by Europeans of Indigenous people somewhere in the outback in Australia. Or, another common idea was that it is about art projects in which Indigenous Australian people are given cameras by Europeans in order to take photos themselves. So, in short, what people mostly connected to the term “Indigenous Australian photography” was not the view about an independent contemporary art movement and individual art projects as they are common all over the world in a variety of ways, but they mostly connected it to forms of colonization, European activities, European art. This brief example shows that for some reason, many people still connect the term ‘Indigenous’ with a view about people living in an indefinite, fossiled past (Langton, 1993:81), which is still a common stereotype about Indigenous Australian people, and in fact a very problematic one.

4 October 2018
Looking for past editions of Eye on Q? Find these on TEQ's corporate website. 4 October 2018 Aussies flock to Queensland The latest National Visitor Survey data shows Australians spent more money in Queensland over the past 12 months than ever before. The increase in spending of more than 10 per cent generated a record $17 billion in overnight visitor expenditure for Queensland for the first time. The state also welcomed a record 22.5 million domestic visitors - nearly five per cent growth. The figures for the year ending June 2018 were released yesterday and showed every region across the state experienced growth in visitor expenditure. Queensland's swathe of bumper major events were a significant contributing factor - from the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games held in four event cities, to Manny Pacquiao v Jeff Horn (Battle of Brisbane), the Marvel: Creating the Cinematic Universe exhibition and 70 destination events - all of which drove visitation and expenditure across the state. See the latest domestic visitor statistics Cruise sector growth The latest cruise industry data reveals that cruise ship days to Queensland increased by 11 per cent over the past year, with 860,000 passengers and crew spending $501 million. The growth was supported by emerging regions like Gladstone, Thursday Island, Townsville, Fraser Island and Mooloolaba providing cruise lines with more opportunities to visit the state's unique destinations. Looking ahead, cruise lines will ramp up a record number of visits to 11 Queensland ports over the next seven months, including Carnival Australia who plan 247 calls alone - a 30 per cent increase on the last cruise season.

Platformed Racism: the Adam Goodes War Dance and Booing Controversy on Twitter, Youtube, and Facebook
PLATFORMED RACISM: THE ADAM GOODES WAR DANCE AND BOOING CONTROVERSY ON TWITTER, YOUTUBE, AND FACEBOOK Ariadna Matamoros-Fernández BA Autonomous University of Barcelona MA University of Amsterdam Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Digital Media Research Centre Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2018 Keywords Platformed racism Race Racism Whiteness Critical Race Theory Colour-blindness Digital platforms Twitter Facebook YouTube Social media Technocultures Memetic culture Media practices Visual media Multiplatform issue mapping Platform governance i ii Abstract This research interrogates the material politics of social media platforms, and their role in online racism. Platforms have altered how people search, find, and share information, and how social interactions take place online. This new era of user practices, micro-communication cultures, and an increasing algorithmic shaping of sociability, opens up new research endeavours to understand communication as a cultural practice. While platforms are reluctant to acknowledge that they work as media companies, and present themselves as being ‘neutral’, they intervene in public discourse through their design, policies, and corporate decisions. This intervention is increasingly under public scrutiny at a time when racist and sexist speech is thriving online. The entanglement between user practices and platforms in the reinforcement of racism is the focus of my research. Specifically, I argue that this entanglement
