  • Journalists' Privilege
    A Shield Law To Better Protect Journalists’ Confidential Sources Submission to the Inquiry Into the Evidence Amendment (Journalists’ Privilege) Bill 2009 Senate Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs Parliament House Canberra Australian Capital Territory through Mr Peter Hallahan Committee Secretary FROM: Dr Joseph M Fernandez Senior Lecturer Department of Journalism School of Media, Culture and Creative Arts Curtin University of Technology 2 May 2009 Signed:…………………………………………… Date:………………………………… (Hardcopy of this submission sent by mail to the address above; electronic copy sent by email to the Committee Secretary) 1. Introduction This is a submission in response to the move to amend the Evidence Act 1995 (Commonwealth) through the Evidence Amendment (Journalists’ Privilege) Bill 2009 (Commonwealth). For convenience, this Bill and related law will be referred to as shield law. Briefly stated, the author submits that the proposed amendments do not adequately meet the objectives declared by the Commonwealth Attorney-General, the Hon Mr Robert McLleland MP. The amendments also do not amount to substantial improvement over existing legislation in this area. The following submission sets out the bases for these views and proposes ways in which the proposed shield law may be made to more effectively serve the purpose intended by the Commonwealth A-G. While the Commonwealth’s concern is to enact a shield law for application at Commonwealth level, it is submitted that the Commonwealth initiative in this area will have great significance for the way the States and Territories approach law-making in this area. It is therefore of vital importance that the Commonwealth initiative should attain a worthwhile outcome.

  • Is It Ethical for the Former WA Treasurer to Join the Rio Tinto and Woodside
    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Is it ethical for the former WA treasurer to join the Rio Tinto and Woodside boards? It's certainly a good look to appoint the first Indigenous director of a major Australian company. But when he was previously the tax man, the picture blurs a little. Former Western Australian Treasurer Ben Wyatt Stephen Mayne JUN 09, 2021 The appointment of former Western Australian Labor treasurer Ben Wyatt to the Rio Tinto and Woodside boards last week is at one level a great development because he is the first Indigenous director of any major Australian public company. However, from a governance point of view, there really should be a cooling-off period before former politicians can be paid by corporate entities they used to regulate or tax — or under-tax, in the case of Wyatt and Rio Tinto. Wyatt is the cousin of federal Liberal MP Ken Wyatt and retired from the WA parliament after a 15-year career at the state election in March. Rio Tinto, like all the major WA iron ore miners, was pleasantly surprised that the treasurer of a WA Labor government didn’t try to jack up state royalty rates during this unprecedented boom. When combined with soaring Chinese demand, this low-tax approach has generated untold riches for the miners. As Crikey noted recently, the AFR’s 2021 Rich List featured iron ore moguls Gina Rinehart and Andrew Forrest at the top with an obscene combined family value of 2 $67.8 billion. And all of this unprecedented private wealth comes from publicly owned WA iron ore resources.

  • A Private View: Modern Masters from the Kerry Stokes Collection
    A Private View: Modern Masters from the Kerry Stokes Collection This focussed exhibition showcases works from the Kerry Stokes Collection, one of Australia’s most significant and respected private collections. Although a personal selection, the 26 works on display represent the major art movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a period of great change and experimentation in European art. For nineteenth-century painters, the pictorial challenge was to leave the studio and paint out of doors directly in front of the subject, capturing the fleeting changes of light and atmospheric conditions. Starting with an early coastal scene by the great Realist painter Gustave Courbet, A Private View takes audiences on a journey past captivating Impressionist landscapes by Claude Monet and Australia’s own John Peter Russell, Post-Impressionist Breton scenes, and a superb Fauvist view of the Parisian cathedral Notre-Dame by Henri Matisse. The subjects of the twentieth-century works are far more diverse, and include an example of Jean Dubuffet’s unconventional art brut approach, a Dada assemblage by Christian Schad, and an enigmatic painting pondering the meaning of life by the Belgian Surrealist René Magritte. Also on display are outstanding paintings by Pablo Picasso, including Bottle and tobacco pouch, Fontainebleau 1921, which critic John McDonald has described as “the most impressive work of Synthetic Cubism in any Australian collection”. Stefano Carboni, AGWA Director, said, “The Gallery is truly privileged that the Kerry Stokes Collection has chosen AGWA as the place to unveil a selection of extraordinary art works from a lifetime of collecting. This is a rare opportunity for Western Australians and visitors to WA, to view these works that are not usually accessible to the general public.” A Private View: Modern Masters from the Kerry Stokes Collection will be on display at the Art Gallery of Western Australia from 22 November 2013 – 3 March 2014.
