Australian Newspaper History Indexed: An Index to the Australian Newspaper History Group Newsletter, issues 1 to 75 (1999-2014) ISBN 978 0 9751552 5 7 Australian Newspaper History Indexed Page 2 Foreword By Rod Kirkpatrick, editor, Australian Newspaper History Group Newsletter This is the third index to the Australian Newspaper History Group Newsletter, which began publication in October 1999. Karen Gillen, of Melbourne, has compiled the three indexes. The first, appearing in 2004 and covering issues 1 to 25, was published only as a printed version. The second, a composite index covering issues 1 to 50 (October 1999 to December 2008) was published in 2009 in both printed and digital form. This third index, published in January 2014, covers issues 1 to 75 (October 1999 to December 2013) and is in digital form only. The Australian Newspaper History Group (ANHG) grew out of a three-day conference on local newspapers at an historic newspaper site – Chiltern, Victoria, home of the Federal Standard, published from 1859 until 1970. One of those attending the conference, held on 1- 3 October 1999, was Victor Isaacs, of Canberra, who circularised some groups and individuals about the possibility of forming a newspaper history group. The resultant Australian Newspaper History Group has no constitution or officers, unless you count the newsletter editor, who has taken on being treasurer, editor, circulation manager and book editor and publisher, conference organiser (once) and other roles from time to time. The ANHG is really a network of newspaper-history buffs – some of whom are editors, newspaper managers, librarians, historians, academics and journalists, and some of whom are based overseas. It exists to stay informed and to build bridges with one another as needed. For example, the group’s newsletter has published from time to time an audit of members’ research interests, complete with email and other contact details. The group has had more than 200 subscribers for more than a decade, but the newsletter has far more readers as several of the subscribers are libraries. Much of the contact is made electronically. At January 2014, the ANHG had 186 digital subscribers and eighteen hard-copy subscribers (some of them being the State Libraries of NSW and Victoria and the National Library of Australia). Often special announcements are circulated electronically between one newsletter and the next. Victor Isaacs edited the first four newsletters, and I have edited the numbers since, apart from the occasional newsletter when I have been absent from home for a prolonged period. Initially Victor issued the newsletter in small size and almost monthly (October and November 1999 and January and February 2000) and then I issued a newsletter every six to eight weeks, gradually increasing the paging. Ten issues appeared by the close of 2000. Since 2001 I have issued it five times a year. The newsletter is broken down into five sections: ‘Current Developments: National & Metropolitan’; ‘Current Developments: Online’; ‘Current Developments: Community & Provincial’; ‘Newspaper History’; and ‘Recent Publications’. On the next page there is a table listing all seventy-five issues of the Australian Newspaper History Group Newsletter, the dates of issue, and the number of pages in each issue. Total number of pages so far is 1,365. Most issues comprise twenty pages. Only one has been bigger (twenty-two in March 2001). The average paging is 18.2 pages, but it has been 19.46 an issue since No. 11 (i.e. since 2001 when it became a five-times-a-year publication).

Australian Newspaper History Indexed Page 5 Index Guide to using this index How organised: Page numbers play no part in this Index. Instead, the items referred to in the Index are organised by newsletter number, section number (where applicable) and item number. This is designed to facilitate electronic searching. Sections: For issue Nos. 1 to 43, the items throughout each newsletter were numbered consecutively, with no reference to sections (a typical item number would be 22.48, meaning: issue No. 22, item 48). From issue No. 44, each section of the Newsletter has been numbered and a new section was added: ‘Current Developments: Online News’. This meant there were five sections. Since then, there has been, within each section, item numbering unique to that section (a typical item number is 64.3.5, meaning: issue No. 64, section 3, item 5). Photographs: Item locators followed by p indicate photograph. Since issue No. 51, photographs have generally appeared on the cover page. Some have appeared on later pages. Abbreviations: Major abbreviations used are: ADB: Australian Dictionary of Biography; AFR: Australian Financial Review; and SMH: Sydney Morning Herald.

    JMAD Media Ownership Report

    JMAD New Zealand Media Ownership Report 2014 Published: 2014 December 5 Author: Merja Myllylahti This New Zealand Ownership Report 2014 is the fourth published by AUT’s Centre for Journalism, Media and Democracy (JMAD). The report finds that the New Zealand media market has failed to produce new, innovative media outlets, and that all the efforts to establish non-profit outlets have proved unsustainable. The report confirms the general findings of previous reports that New Zealand media space has remained highly commercial. It also confirms the financialisation of media ownership in the form of banks and fund managers. The report also observes that in 2014 convergence between New Zealand mass media and the communications sector generally was in full swing. Companies, such as Spark (former Telecom NZ), started to compete head-to-head with the traditional broadcasters on the online on-demand video and television markets. The American online video subscription service Netflix is entering the NZ market in March 2015. Additionally, the report notes evidence of uncomfortable alliances between citizen media, politicians, PR companies and legacy media. As Nicky Hager’s Dirty Politics book revealed, the National Party and PR practitioners used the Whale Oil blog to drive their own agendas. Also, events related to Maori TV, TVNZ and Scoop raise questions about political interference in media affairs. It is now evident that the boundaries between mainstream media, bloggers, public relations practitioners and politicians are blurring. Key events and trends concerning New Zealand media Financialisation of mass media ownership confirmed Substantial changes in Fairfax, APN and MediaWorks ownership Competition heats up in online television and video markets Turbulence at Maori TV Blurred lines among politicians, bloggers, journalists and PR practitioners The JMAD New Zealand media ownership reports are available here: http://www.aut.ac.nz/study- at-aut/study-areas/communications/media-networks/journalism,-media-and-democracy-research- centre/journalists-and-projects 1 1.

    Long-Running Drama in Theatre of Public Shame

    ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Long-running drama in theatre of public shame MP Daryl Maguire and NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian in Wagga in 2017. Tom Dusevic OCTOBER 16, 2020 The British have epic soap Coronation Street. Latin Americans crave their telenovelas. The people of NSW must settle for the Independent Commission Against Corruption and its popular offshoot, Keeping Up with the Spivs. The current season is one of the most absorbing: bush huckster Daz Kickback ensnares Gladys Prim in his scams. At week’s end, our heroine is tied to railroad tracks as a steaming locomotive rounds the bend. Stay tuned. In recent years the public has heard allegations of Aldi bags stuffed with cash and delivered to NSW Labor’s Sussex Street HQ by Chinese property developer Huang Xiangmo. In 2013 corruption findings were made against former Labor ministers Eddie Obeid and Ian Macdonald. The following year, Liberal premier Barry O’Farrell resigned after ICAC obtained a handwritten note that contradicted his claims he did not receive a $3000 bottle of Grange from the head of Australian Water Holdings, a company linked to the Obeids. The same year ICAC’s Operation Spicer investigated allegations NSW Liberals used associated entities to disguise donations from donors banned in the state, such as property developers. Ten MPs either went to the crossbench or quit politics. ICAC later found nine Liberal MPs acted with the intention of evading electoral funding laws, with larceny charges recommended against one. Years earlier there was the sex-for- development scandal, set around the “Table of Knowledge” at a kebab shop where developers met officials from Wollongong council.

    1. Gina Rinehart $14.02billion from Resources Chairman – Hancock Prospecting Residence: Perth Wealth last year: $20.01b Rank last year: 1 A plunging iron ore price has made a big dent in Gina Rinehart’s wealth. But so vast are her mining assets that Rinehart, chairman of Hancock Prospecting, maintains her position as Australia’s richest person in 2015. Work is continuing on her $10billion Roy Hill project in Western Australia, although it has been hit by doubts over its short-term viability given falling commodity prices and safety issues. Rinehart is pressing ahead and expects the first shipment late in 2015. Most of her wealth comes from huge royalty cheques from Rio Tinto, which mines vast swaths of tenements pegged by Rinehart’s late father, Lang Hancock, in the 1950s and 1960s. Rinehart's wealth has been subject to a long running family dispute with a court ruling in May that eldest daughter Bianca should become head of the $5b family trust. 2. Anthony Pratt & Family $10.76billion from manufacturing and investment Executive Chairman – Visy Residence: Melbourne Wealth last year: $7.6billion Rank last year: 2 Anthony Pratt’s bet on a recovering United States economy is paying off. The value of his US-based Pratt Industries has surged this year thanks to an improving manufacturing sector and a lower Australian dollar. Pratt is also executive chairman of box maker and recycling business Visy, based in Melbourne. Visy is Australia’s largest private company by revenue and the biggest Australian-owned employer in the US. Pratt inherited the Visy leadership from his late father Richard in 2009, though the firm’s ownership is shared with sisters Heloise Waislitz and Fiona Geminder.

Walter Torode Master Builder VIII. `A plan so patriotic’ IX. `It is sweet and seemly to die for one’s country’ 2 I Preface This publication has like most of my work had a long gestation. As a freelance historian for much of my career, no institutional obligation has obliged me to be one of the publish or perish brigade, who are rushed into print only to repent at leisure. My engagement with the Anzac legend began in infancy when a favourite Liberal voting uncle handed me a venerable comic strip apology for the Gallipoli landing. It taught me that my people had been engaged in things larger than themselves. It was in effect my Iliad. This was in the 1960s, when Australia and indeed my relations were split by the War in Vietnam. My great grandparents had been Methodist opponents of the Boer War. My Labor voting grandmother and father opposed Australia’s involvement in Vietnam, and were very concerned for a conscripted cousin who did a tour of duty there. At the age of eight I wanted to march in the Moratorium demonstration in Burnie, Tasmania, using the credibility of my Cub Scout uniform. Dad talked me out of it, fearing political surveillance and damage to my future job prospects; as Lenny Bruce said around then, if you’re not paranoid, you’re not paying attention.

    Place Names of South Australia: W

    W Some of our names have apparently been given to the places by drunken bushmen andfrom our scrupulosity in interfering with the liberty of the subject, an inflection of no light character has to be borne by those who come after them.
