He has been a foreign correspondent, newspaper editor, and an award-winning current affairs TV host with HINCH. Until ‘sacked’ in 2012, he hosted for 10 years 3AW’s award-winning Drive program. He has written 13 books, appeared on stage as the narrator in The Rocky Horror Show, been on TV in Dancing with the Stars, Beauty and the Beast, and hosted The Midday Show.He’s played himself in TV’s Underbelly and on film in The Wog Boy. A musical, for which he wrote the book and the lyrics, iFantasia, opens in 2013. In 2010 Hinch celebrated 50 years in the media, with the release of the insightful memoir, Human Headlines. In late 2012 Hinch joined the Seven Network as national public affairs commentator, working across Sunday Night, Seven News and Sunrise. The title of his new book sums it up: A Human Deadline-a story of life, death, hope and house arrest. Controversial as ever, the Human Headline writes about life, health, the courts, the public, the organ donor debate and much more, with brutal honesty. • Did Hinch jump the queue • Did a former drinker deserve a liver transplant? • What’s your bucket list with 12 months to live? • How did Hinch discover his donor’s secret? • How does an athiest face death? .

This thesis is submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Griffith University Faculty of Arts School of Arts, Media and Culture August 2003 Statement of Authorship This work has never been previously submitted for a degree or diploma in any university. To the best of my knowledge and belief, this dissertation contains no material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made in the dissertation itself. Abstract This thesis contains a detailed academic analysis of the complete rise and fall of Christopher Skase and his Qintex group mirage. It uses David Harvey’s ‘Condition of Postmodernity’ to locate the collapse within the Australian political economic context of the period (1974-1989). It does so in order to answer questions about why and how the mirage developed, why and how it failed, and why Skase became the scapegoat for the Australian corporate excesses of the 1980s. I take a multi-disciplinary approach and consider corporate collapse, corporate regulation and the role of accounting, and corporate deviance. Acknowledgments I am very grateful to my principal supervisor, Dr Anthony B. van Fossen, for his inspiration, advice, direction, guidance, and unfailing encouragement throughout the course of this study; and for suggesting Qintex as a case study.

October 2008 Comedy Channel Highlights
www.comedychannel.com.au OCTOBER 2008 HIGHLIGHTS THE MERRICK & ROSSO SHOW WORLD PREMIERE Thursday October 2 @ 8.30pm Continues Thursdays at 8.30pm Merrick and Rosso are back on the box where they belong, with the keys to the Foxtel car - and enough fuel in the tank to really cause some chaos! They’ll finally return to their broadcasting birth place at The Comedy Channel with THE MERRICK & ROSSO SHOW. So what’s on the cards for the new show? Each week the boys will front up before a live studio audience with their unique take on anything and everything. From what’s happening in the world of news to the big questions: Can you deep fry a watermelon? On THE MERRICK & ROSSO SHOW, celebrities will make regular guest appearances from in-studio interviews to recorded comedy pieces to show you a side of them never before seen. Into the mix will go plenty of studio audience interaction and more mayhem and stupidity than is legal in three states. For perhaps the first time, Merrick Watts and Tim Ross will truly focus the energy and excitement of their legendary sell-out live comedy shows and bring that force to the electric television. It’s hotter than Gordon Ramsay’s kitchen, is sure to top Brendan Nelson’s approval ratings and it’s ‘wronger’ than an Austrian family get-together. THE MERRICK & ROSSO SHOW will allow nobody to be immune from their parodies and sketch comedy. Finally, as Merrick and Rosso are keen to point out, “Put simply, the show is Morcambe and Wise meets The Star Wars Christmas Special at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting during The French Renaissance… on a weeknight.” Buckle up Australia, for a riotous half hour of THE MERRICK & ROSSO SHOW.

Edwin Greenslade (Dryblower) Murphy, journalist, 1866-1939, is pictured above. But ‘Dryblower’ was more than a journalist. He wrote verse, satirical verse, amusing verse, verse that soon became an institution in the Coolgardie Miner. It all began at Bulong when a dusty and soiled envelope provided copy paper for the first piece of verse penned and printed between York, WA, and South Australia. Murphy wrote “The Fossicker’s Yarn” to “squash and squelch the objectionable ‘Jackeroo’ (sic) system obtaining on Bayley’s Reward Mine”. “Dryblower” sent the verses to the Coolgardie Miner and a friend sent them to the Sydney Bulletin. The Bulletin published them first, while the Miner “had them in type awaiting issue”. They appeared in the third issue of the Miner. See ANHG 94.4.9 below for Dryblower’s poem, “The Printer”.

1 No Eight-Year Terms for the House of Unrepresentative
1 NO EIGHT-YEAR TERMS FOR THE HOUSE OF UNREPRESENTATIVE SWILL By Malcolm Mackerras On the afternoon of Tuesday, 17 September 2019 a welcome surprise came into my e-mail system. It was an invitation to participate in a Constitutional Roundtable on fixed four-year parliamentary terms. The reason for my surprise was that the last time I was invited to be on a panel at a federal Parliament House function was on 1 March 2016 when I opposed George Williams. Being on a panel with him again would be my welcome new meeting of him. During the 45th Parliament I never received a single invitation – even though I sought to appear before the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters. Reasons for the refusal of my wish are explained on my website at www.malcolmmackerras.com. On that website I explain why I call the Senate “Unrepresentative Swill”. Indeed, that is the title of my blog. I give below further information about the above- mentioned meeting of the JSCEM on the morning of 1 March 2016 at which I expressed passionate opinions. I suppose the reason why I received that spring-time 2019 surprise invitation from the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs is that my long-standing views on federal parliamentary terms are well-known. I favour no change to the present arrangements which I think are quite satisfactory. Furthermore, I deny the commonly held view that Prime Ministers have abused their power to cause an early dissolution. In my documents I have a file “Early Elections” that includes my article titled “Early General Elections for Australia’s House of Representatives”.

Sentencing has resourced Judicial Studies Board with similar functions traditionally been the preserve of judges, lawyers, established in the early 1990s, there has not been an public servants, academic experts and those close institutional framework in this state to provide the judiciary, to government. However, sentencing is as emotive as the legal profession, the government and the public with it is complex, and public sentiment regarding the information it requires to develop a rational sentencing individual decisions can be a powerful indicator of policy. Victoria has lacked an independent Bureau of whether sentencing outcomes accord with communal Crime Statistics and Research to provide policy makers values or expectations.

Derryn Hinch Has Parliamentary Privilege
Brace yourselves: Derryn Hinch has parliamentary privilege MICHAEL BRADLEY Freelance writer and Marque Lawyers managing partner The new Senate promises to be a grand spectacle — not least as its resident entertainers will include the Cicciolina of Australian politics, the Human Headline Derryn Hinch. We are grateful to the electors of Victoria for visiting Derryn’s peculiar set of personal obsessions upon the national polity. Derryn is famous for various forms of behaviour all involving the prefix “self”, including three separate convictions for contempt of court arising from his predilection for publicly naming people whose identities the criminal courts had ordered to be suppressed. Derryn’s election to Parliament, the bulliest of all pulpits, raises a tantalising prospect: what will Derryn say once he’s ensconced on the red leather of the crossbenches? Even a vague awareness of the concept of parliamentary privilege should cause the unwary voter to wonder about just what we’re about to see unleashed. A hefty clue to Derryn’s intentions is in the following exchange with radio host Neil Mitchell on 3AW during the election campaign: Mitchell: Under parliamentary privilege — maiden speech — you can’t be interrupted, you can do what you like. Would you name names? Hinch: If I have to, I will. Mitchell: Well get’em right. Because you’ve got parliamentary privilege, if you go ahead … Hinch: No of course you could. I wouldn’t get them wrong in the street. I mean … Mitchell: You got Graeme Kennedy wrong. Hinch: No, I didn’t. Mitchell: Oh you did. You said he died from AIDS.

Commercial Radio Hall of Fame
MEDIA RELEASE 19 October 2019 Iconic radio personality Doug Mulray inducted into Commercial Radio Hall of Fame Radio royalty and icon of Australian broadcasting, Doug Mulray, was inducted into the Commercial Radio Hall of Fame at the 31st annual Australian Commercial Radio Awards. Mulray was recognised for his outstanding achievements and unique contribution to the Australian radio industry at the gala event in Brisbane in front of nearly 1000 guests. Mulray’s first foray into radio was at the small country station 2AD in NSW. His next on-air role was at 2GO Gosford on the Central Coast. Making the move to Melbourne in the mid-70s, Mulray headlined the 3AW program Mulray & The Man, before heading back to NSW in the late 1970s and a gig at 2JJ (now Triple J). It was in the early 80s where Mulray truly cemented his place as an influential voice in Australian radio when he became one of the faces of the newly launched Triple M. As Sydney’s breakfast presenter at the network he became a dominant force in the radio ratings, growing the show from a ratings share of 2.6% up to over 18% at one point. Mulray followed his highly successful stint at Triple M with on air roles in the drive time slot on 2SM and at station 2WS, signing off in 1999. Mulray – or Uncle Doug as he was affectionately called – is well-known for his quick wit and outrageous comedy skits featuring a variety of memorable characters. During his time in radio, Mulray worked alongside some of the biggest names in Australian media including Andrew Denton and Peter Fitzsimons.
