    SEVEN UNVEILS CONTENT PLANS FOR 2019 Slate includes new Bevan Lee drama and two supersized reality hits Geraldine Hakewill, Joel Jackson and Catherine McClements headline Miss Fisher spin-off MKR’s 10th anniversary season to launch the year “Top Gear meets food” in new Gordon Ramsay series New overseas dramas feature screen heavyweights Martin Clunes, Sheridan Smith, Kelsey Grammer and more (Sydney, Friday October 26): The Seven Network today unveiled its content plans for 2019. Four new local dramas, including the next offering from creator Bevan Lee; two supersized reality hits; a female spinoff to one of the year’s most heart-warming hits and the landmark 10th season of one of Australia’s biggest shows are just some of the programs set to take Seven into its 13th consecutive year of leadership. Commenting, Seven’s Director of Network Programming Angus Ross said: “After a close win last year, we promised to up our game in 2018, and the team has delivered in spades. We’ve broken records and dominated the ratings throughout the year. In fact, in every month we have never dropped below a 39% share, while our competitors have never been above 39%. Our worst is still better than their best. “What’s particularly pleasing is that this success is down to the strength and depth of our programming across the board. From 6am to midnight, we have the strongest spine of ratings winners, bar none. And with the AFL and Cricket locked up until 2022, Seven can guarantee those mass audiences, and certainty for our advertisers, for years to come.” NEW TO SEVEN IN 2019 BETWEEN TWO WORLDS From Australia’s most prolific creator/writer Bevan Lee (Packed to the Rafters, A Place To Call Home, All Saints, Winners & Losers, Always Greener) comes an intense, high concept contemporary drama series about two disparate and disconnected worlds, thrown together by death and a sacrifice in one and the chance for new life in the other.

  • Hi, My Name Is Keaton Stewart I Am Writing in Regards to the Inquiry Into
    Submission 46 Hi, My name is Keaton Stewart I am writing in regards to the Inquiry into the Australian Film and Television Industry. I have been working in the Australian TV and Film industry since i first edited the pre-school show Larry the Lawn Mower, a show developed and produce in Australia under the Australian content quota. It was a big deal for a kid in his 20's to have made it to Sydney and been given the chance to develop my story telling skills. In the following 9 years I have worked on numerous Australian programs including short films, preschool content, children's programming, dramas, comedies and documentaries working my way up from editing through directing and now producing. I love our industry it is an amazing training ground and produces not only uniquely Australian stories but also, in increasing numbers, producing stories the world wants to engage with. Now is the time not to run away from that training ground but throw more into it if we can support group and individuals through their careers they stand a greater chance of producing large scale work within Australia for a global audience. As the model of distribution changes via on demand and access to content becomes increasingly easy and more efficient we have the opportunity to bring our stories to more people. But what that means is we will be competing on a global stage and if we don't have the support to develop in our early careers and the ongoing support to share OUR stories we run the risk of losing our identity.

  • Ecological Democracy: Always Greener on the Other Side?
    WORKSHOP ECOLOGICAL DEMOCRACY: always greener on the other side? 20 – 21 February, 2017 University of Sydney, Australia Encountering the Anthropocene The role of the Environ mental Humanities and Social Sciences WORKSHOP Ecological Democracy: always greener on the other side? The role of democracy in the face of global environmental threats has been subject to intense scholarly debate over the past four decades. At times, ecological democracy has had a bright future ahead of it. Yet the ideal of ecological democracy continually faces challenges both to its conceptual foundations and to its practical realisation on national and global scales. This workshop will seek to focus on new considerations and directions for ecological democracy, while looking back to examine the impact and viability of its founding texts as well as empirical studies of the relationship between democracy and sustainability. The aim of the workshop is to critically explore the tensions and synergies between democracy and sustainability on local, national and global levels. The workshop will contribute to the work of the Task Force on the Conceptual Foundations of Earth System Governance, coordinated by the Earth System Governance Project. Workshop conveners David Schlosberg (Co-Director, Sydney Environment Institute and Professor of Environmental Politics, Department of Government and International Relations, University of Sydney) Karin Bäckstrand (Professor in Environmental Social Science, Department of Political Science, Stockholm University) Jonathan Pickering
