At the national broadcaster, where she developed a reputation as a serious and noteworthy journalist, Deborah’s roles ranged from rural reporting, to Triple J, and hosting the prestigious AM and Breakfast program on Radio National.

Deborah Knight returned to Australia in 2004 and joined Ron Wilson as co-anchor of Sydney’s Ten News at Five bulletin in 2006.

  • 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.

By Kate Taylor Central Ward Councillor Paul Tatchell has been voted as Moorabool’s new Mayor. East Ward Councillor John Spain was voted in as Deputy Mayor. Outgoing Mayor Pat Toohey did not re-nominate at the Statutory and Annual Appointments Meeting held last Wednesday 30 October, where Mayor Tatchell won the role with a 5-2 majority. Nominated by East Ward Councillor Allan Comrie, Cr Tatchell gained votes from fellow councillors Comrie, David Edwards, Tonia Dudzik and John Spain. West Ward Councillor Tom Sullivan was nominated and voted for by Pat Toohey. New Mayor Tatchell told the meeting he was very fortunate to have been given the privilege of the role. “For former mayor Pat Toohey, to have come on board and then taken on the role of Mayor with four new councillors, he jumped straight in the driver’s seat… and the first few months were very difficult, but he persevered with extreme patience. “And to the experienced councillors we came in contact with from day one, with years of experience, without that, I can’t imagine how a council could have operated with seven new faces. We are incredibly fortunate to have those experienced councillors on board.” Mayor Tatchell also hinted at a vision for more unity in the future. “A bit less of ‘I’ and more of ‘we,’” he said. Deputy Mayor Spain was voted in with votes from councillors Dudzik, Edwards, and Comrie, with Mayor Tatchell not required to cast a vote on a majority decision.

Although the relationship between politician and journalist in any parliamentary democracy is neither easy nor harmonious, tenets of open governance demand that, at the very least, this relationship is functional. The evidence in this thesis shows that this functionality was tested to its limits under the Howard government. Chapter 1 begins with the development of questions about the Howard government’s media strategies, their impact on the Canberra fourth estate and the role of more intense government media management, new technologies and the co-location of executive government and press gallery in Parliament House. Answers are sought with multi-method research including historical research, documentary analysis, case studies and elite interview techniques*.

  • Stolen Generation Narratives and the Ethics of Recognition
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by The University of Sydney: Sydney eScholarship Journals online DOROTHY GREEN MEMORIAL LECTURE Narrative Lives and Human Rights: Stolen Generation Narratives and the Ethics of Recognition KAY SCHAFFER, UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE Dorothy Green was a formidable figure in the field of Australian literature. I first met her twenty five years ago at a symposium in Sydney hosted by Geoffrey Sharp, the then editor of Arena. The idea for the gathering grew out of the pres- entation of a number of innovative papers that had been delivered to the first ASAL Conference, held at Monash University in 1978 that offered what then were emergent feminist and cultural studies perspectives. At the ASAL confer- ence, and later at the Sharp symposium, I presented a paper on Katharine Susannah Prichard, entitled “Of an End a New Beginning,” that utilized feminist, neo- marxist and psychobiographic tools to analyse the creative tension between Prichard’s biography, her Marxist politics and the marked Lawrentian tendencies in her fiction. Geoff later published it in Arena in 1979 (Iseman). It was my first published piece of critical writing in Australia. A number of (then) young (and now well-known) scholars whose work pio- neered Australian feminist and cultural studies, including film and popular cul- ture, had delivered papers at ASAL and were subsequently invited to the seminar in Sydney. Many of us worked at the intersections of literature, politics, philoso- phy and popular culture and came from interdisciplinary faculties in the CAEs, the Institutes of Technology and newer universities.
