A colleague had promised that Dr Karl’s affection for attention-grabbing shirts would make him easy to spot. And he is - you can’t miss Dr Karl Kruszelnicki, the self-confessed rev- head who has worked as a physicist, taxi driver and doctor but these days is famous for spreading the news about quirky science. It’s not just his shirt which is loud. Comedian Gabby Millgate is not quite sure why she was invited to tag along today for Dr Karl’s regular Thursday gig with ABC radio. -

Report to the Senate Inquiry Into Broadcasting
REPORT TO THE SENATE INQUIRY INTO BROADCASTING Summary 1.This paper discusses the decline in programme standards for regional radio in inland N.S.W. with emphasis on the Dubbo region in particular. A list of suggestions is included that might remedy the situation. 2. Networking is outlined in the second part of this paper. I try to show that since the introduction of supplementary FM licences that networking has become the norm at the expense of the listener. Again a list of suggestions follow that would bring a satisfactiry compromise to the regrettable networking situation we have at the moment in country Victoria, N.S.W. and Queensland. Submitted by; Richard Mutton 1 Waverley Drive DUBBO 2830 phone 02 68 842124 [ah] fax 02 68 846778 mobile 0409 228 209 e mail [email protected] A DISCUSSION OF REGIONAL RADIO. PART A: RADIO IN THE CENTRAL WEST OF N.S.W. When I first came to Dubbo in 1989, there were 2 radio stations in this city, the ABC 2CR Orange transmitting from Cudal and commercial station 2DU transmitting from Eulomogo near Dubbo. Other stations with weaker signals could be picked up in Dubbo, but were hardly listenable. Now in 2000, we have 10 stations: Tourist Radio FM88; 2KY Racing Radio; Zoo FM; Star FM; Radio Rhema; ABC Triple J; ABC Classic FM; Local ABC 107.1; ABC Radio National all on the FM band and commercial station 2DU on the AM band. Frankly, the radio service for Dubbo was better in 1989 than it is now in 2000. -

Layout: Ms Annalee Powell. Printer: Fineline Print & Copy Service NSW. ii 1 In May, the Vice-President, Professor John Mattick AO FAA FTSE, deputised for me at the annual School President’s Report of Physics prize-giving ceremony. It is very pleasing to reward so many talented science students, across all undergraduate years. The Foundation awards 20 scholarships to recognize excellence and to encourage further study in physics. For 2017 the number of female recipients were lower than we had hoped, a result that can be improved especially as the ISS continues to show leadership in the gender equity and diversity space. The Foundation has been able to support the School in several ways, with a total of $300,000 transferred in 2017. Support was provided to our Julius Sumner Miller Fellow, Dr Karl Kruszelnicki AM, and to Dr Chris Stewart. This is a very pleasing outcome and we gratefully acknowledge all donations to the Foundation and the Messel Endowment to enable this support to continue. -
