Abstract This project explores the attitudes of universities and media organisations towards journalism curriculum renewal. In part, the project is inspired by an apparent schism that exists between some journalists and editors on the one hand, and journalism academics on the other regarding the role of journalism training and education, specifically, where it should most appropriately be taught – in-house, that is by the media organisation, within a university environment, or elsewhere. This project provides the first comprehensive

  • The Most Vitriolic Parliament

    The Most Vitriolic Parliament

    THE MOST VITRIOLIC PARLIAMENT EVIDENCE OF THE VITRIOLIC NATURE OF THE 43 RD PARLIAMENT AND POTENTIAL CAUSES Nicolas Adams, 321 382 For Master of Arts (Research), June 2016 The University of Melbourne, School of Social and Political Sciences Supervisors: Prof. John Murphy, Dr. Scott Brenton i Abstract It has been suggested that the period of the Gillard government was the most vitriolic in recent political history. This impression has been formed by many commentators and actors, however very little quantitative data exists which either confirms or disproves this theory. Utilising an analysis of standing orders within the House of Representatives it was found that a relatively fair case can be made that the 43rd parliament was more vitriolic than any in the preceding two decades. This period in the data, however, was trumped by the first year of the Abbott government. Along with this conclusion the data showed that the cause of the vitriol during this period could not be narrowed to one specific driver. It can be seen that issues such as the minority government, style of opposition, gender and even to a certain extent the speakership would have all contributed to any mutation of the tone of debate. ii Declaration I declare that this thesis contains only my original work towards my Masters of Arts (Research) except where due acknowledgement has been made in the text to other material used.

June 2014 1 MOVING BEYOND 100 YEARS: THE ‘WA APPROACH’ TO NATIONAL PARTY SURVIVAL Abstract Since its formation in 1913, the Western Australian branch of the National Party has faced many challenges to its survival. Electoral reform removing rural malapportionment in 2005 prompted changes in strategic direction, including abandoning coalition with the Liberal Party and creating a discrete image, branding and policy approach. Holding the balance of power after the 2008 election, the Party adopted a post-election bargaining strategy to secure Ministries and funding for its ‘Royalties for Regions’ policy. This ‘WA approach’ is distinctive from amalgamation and coalition arrangements embraced elsewhere in Australia.
  • The Caretaker Election

    The Caretaker Election

    26. The Results and the Pendulum Malcolm Mackerras The two most interesting features of the 2010 election were that it was close and it was an early election. Since early elections are two-a-penny in our system, I shall deal with the closeness of the election first. The early nature of the election does, however, deserve consideration because it was early on two counts. These are considered below. Of our 43 general elections so far, this was the only one both to be close and to be an early election. Table 26.1 Months of General Elections for the Australian House of Representatives, 1901–2010 Month Number Years March 5 1901,1983, 1990, 1993, 1996 April 2 1910, 1951 May 4 1913, 1917, 1954, 1974 July 1 1987 August 2 1943, 2010 September 4 1914, 1934, 1940, 1946 October 6 1929, 1937, 1969, 1980, 1998, 2004 November 7 1925, 1928, 1958, 1963, 1966, 2001, 2007 December 12 1903, 1906, 1919, 1922, 1931, 1949, 1955, 1961, 1972, 1975, 1977, 1984 Total 43 The Close Election In the immediate aftermath of polling day, several commentators described this as the closest election in Australian federal history. While I can see why people would say that, I describe it differently. As far as I am concerned, there have been 43 general elections for our House of Representatives of which four can reasonably be described as having been close. They are the House of Representatives plus half-Senate elections held on 31 May 1913, 21 September 1940, 9 December 1961 and 21 August 2010.

B.CCH.1032 CSIRO Lansdown demonstration site Abstract There has been considerable investment in research to mitigate methane emissions from livestock, but directed at incremental increases in productivity and adoption has been market-driven. Practical, cost-effective technologies or practices that give a reduction in emissions while maintaining productivity are required for the northern beef industry to remain viable. Methane (CH4) emissions associated with beef production systems in northern Australia are yet to be quantified. Livestock production systems are highly variable due to seasonality of pasture production and quality and the most effective abatement measures will be unique to each production system and between seasons. Methodologies are available to measure individual emissions, but application in extensive grazing environments is challenging.

    To access the videos in the exercises, please enter the password abj2013 Chapter 1: Radio in Australia The radio services that we have in Australia are very much a product of their early- twentieth-century origins. As you will have read in Chapter 1 of Australian Broadcast Journalism, the three sectors we have today—commercial, community and public broadcasting—each have a distinct style and brief in relation to how they try to appeal to their audiences. You can hear this just by tuning into different stations and listening for yourself. Exercise 1: Listening to a range of programs The best way to learn about radio is to be a listener! Record a commercial program, a community program and an ABC program. 1 Compare their content and presentation styles. 2 What do the programs tell you about their respective audiences? 3 How do they reflect their respective briefs as commercial, community and public broadcasting services? Exercise 2: Podcasting Far from being dead, radio offers a wealth of creative opportunities in the digital age. In September 2013, Radio National’s Common Knowledge program aired a conversation with two innovators in the area of podcasting as part of a ‘radio beyond radio’ conference. Presenters Cassie McCullagh and Jason Di Rosso talked with Silvain Gire, Director and co-founder of Arte Radio, and Francesca Panetta, Special Projects Editor at The Guardian and creator of The Hackney Podcast.
