    Newsletter July 2020 Lake Macquarie U3A Inc, PO Box 782, TORONTO NSW 2283 Email: [email protected] Website: lakemacquarie.u3anet.org.au Patron: Greg Piper MP From the President . Hi everyone My Irish forbears would spin in their graves if they knew how much I have recently sympathised with Scott and Gladys’s COVID dilemmas. Your LMU3A committee have looked at our issues every which way to see what we can do to get moving again. While we know most of you accept the uncertainty currently plaguing (couldn’t resist the pun) the globe, your committee is also aware of those pining for the social, physical and intellectual stimuli of U3A. Although the criterion for group gathering is changing for the better, we need notice to get the machinery moving and take into account all the issues. We can’t endanger our members or burden course leaders and clerks with unmanageable risks. We also need to observe our legal obligations. For these reasons Term 3, due to commence on 27 July, WILL NOT GO AHEAD. Term 4 due to start on 12 October SHOULD go ahead, though it’s likely this will be in a reduced capacity. Assessments are currently underway to identify courses which could work in open-air venues or which could be held indoors and still meet the social distancing requirements which we have to assume will continue. WE WILL CONTACT YOU in September to let you know Term 4 status. Make sure your email address is current or, if you don’t have email, your phone number.

  • Joan Kirner Social Justice Oration 2020
    Joan Kirner Social Justice Oration 2020 Presentation by Paul Bongiorno, AM Journalist, Social Justice Advocate Communities in Control Conference Online, Monday/Tuesday, November 17, 2020 Video and audio versions of this speech are available at www.communitiesincontrol.com.au About the presentation: Paul Bongiorno is a veteran political journalist and commentator. After leaving the priesthood in 1974, he began working in television, winning four Walkley Awards for his investigative journalism. He hosted Ten’s national Sunday morning show, Meet the Press, from 1996 to 2012, and in more recent times has been a regular contributor to The Saturday Paper and commentator on ABC Radio National Breakfast. Bongiorno was made a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for his service to the print and broadcast media as a journalist, political commentator and editor. Paul Bongiorno: I must say I am no fan of this brave new world of virtual conferences. It robs you of the ability to read the room and feel the vibe. But at the outset the fact that you are all here with me, virtually, means we are at least at the same departure point – the one outlined by Joan Kirner herself in her 2012 oration: “We are ready; we are passionate; we are brave enough to continue to work together to shape a socially just nation.” I last saw Joan Kirner in person in 1991 when she attended a Premier’s Conference in Canberra. I was there covering it as a political correspondent for Network Ten. The conference coincided with the launching of Paul Keating’s lunge at Bob Hawke for the leadership of the Labor Party and therefore the Prime Ministership of Australia.

The programs: 702 ABC Sydney – Linda Mottram 774 ABC Melbourne – Jon Faine 612 ABC Brisbane – Steve Austin 891 ABC Adelaide – Ian Henschke 720 ABC Perth – Geoff Hutchison 95.9 ABC Western Plains (Dubbo) – Dugald Saunders/Kelly Fuller 630 North Queensland (Townsville) – Paula Tapiolas 684 The South West (Bunbury) – Naomi Christensen Radio National – Natasha Mitchell TIMEFRAME: One day a week for a four week period (collected retrospectively, with no advance notice to program teams) Week 1: Monday’s program Week 2: Tuesday’s program Week 3: Wednesday’s program Week 4: Thursday’s program APPROACH: ABC Editorial Policy Information will collect the material in the form of program rundowns and audio files of the entire programs for the relevant timeframes. For each edition of each program, the top three subjects of discussion will be identified, based on the time spent discussing each topic/issue. In other words, the top three items will be those to which the program devoted the most amount of time. This may include a range of different items under one topic (for example, an interview with a Minister on a specific policy followed by a reaction from a stakeholder and then followed by talkback from listeners, all on the same subject, would together count as one item). The reviewer will also be provided with a summary of the top issues/topics that Australians consider most relevant and important to them.
