  • Submission to the Productivity Commission Re Copyright Restrictions on the Parallel Importation of Books
    SUBMISSION TO THE PRODUCTIVITY COMMISSION RE COPYRIGHT RESTRICTIONS ON THE PARALLEL IMPORTATION OF BOOKS 14 January, 2009 As a peak Australian voluntary organisation whose membership represents authors, illustrators, publishers, booksellers, teachers, librarians, teacher-librarians and parents, the Children's Book Council of Australia would like to express its objection to changes to present provisions of the Copyright Act that restrict parallel importation. Australia has a vibrant book industry, including the publication of many books for children. We see these books as a major enculturating force – they help Australian children to discover and celebrate who we are and what is important to us; they tell us our own unique stories in our own language/s, asking us to critically examine ourselves and our way of life. Every year, in schools around Australia, tens of thousands of Australian children celebrate the best of Australian children's literature, culminating in the CBCA Book of the Year Awards followed by Book Week. Australian award-winning books are written by new as well as established authors. With some of these books, Australian publishers have taken a chance in their publication; a chance which may not have been taken if parallel importation restrictions had been lifted. Australian authors feature prominently in international awards and honour lists because of the high quality of their work. Before succeeding overseas, all of these authors have first been published by Australian publishers. Some (but not all) award- winning Australian

  • Methods and Practice of First Nations Australian Representation in Young Adult Fiction
    Write and Wrong: methods and practice of First Nations Australian representation in young adult fiction Thesis submitted for the Doctor of Philosophy in Communication degree of the University of Canberra Author: Sophie-Anne Edwina Stanton 31st January 2020 i Abstract Representations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Indigenous) peoples by non- Indigenous writers in young adult fiction is a complex area of study made contentious by political and social tensions stemming from Australia’s colonial history. Representations can have harmful real-world effects (Lucashenko, 2009) rooted not only in their consumption but also in the methods of production. When writing about Indigenous Australian peoples, non-indigenous authors are faced with negotiating these tensions. This thesis documents and compares information about the writing practices and reflections of non-Indigenous authors in regard to their critically lauded works that contain representations of Indigenous peoples. In doing so, it indicates moments of tension, success, and possible pathways towards deeper intercultural understanding. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten writers, all of whom published young adult novels shortlisted by the Children’s Book Council of Australia between 2002 and 2016, in order to explore their experiences of writing across cultures. Their novels were analysed with reference to postcolonial theories and Indigenous criticisms of representation in writing. The writers’ responses to the interview questions were coded and analysed according to established social research methods to establish individuals’ motivations and methods, and examine their reflections on writing about Indigenous peoples. Discussion of the similarities and differences between the participants’ responses revealed three main themes relating to the research aims.

  • QUT Digital Repository
    QUT Digital Repository: http://eprints.qut.edu.au/ Muller, Vivienne (2008) Lost children and imaginary mothers in Sonya Hartnett's "Of a Boy". Hecate, 34(1). pp. 159-174. © Copyright 2008 please consult the author. Lost children and imaginary mothers in Sonya Harnett’s Of A Boy In Powers of Horror, Julia Kristeva writes about lost children.1 These are what she calls ‘dejects’, 2 who, in the psychodrama of subject formation, fail to fully absent the body of the mother, to accept the Law of the Father and the Symbolic, and subsequently to establish ‘clear boundaries which constitute the object-world for normal subjects’.3 Dejects are ‘strays’ looking for a place to belong, a place that is bound up with the Imaginary mother of the pre-Oedipal period. Kristeva’s sketch of the deject as one who is unable to negotiate a proper path to the Symbolic is useful to a reading of Hartnett’s Of A Boy (2002)4, a novel that also deals with lost children and imaginary mothers. However in its portrayal of children who are doomed to never achieve adulthood, Of A Boy enacts a haunting retrieval of the pre-Oedipal from the dark side of phallocentric representation, privileging the semiotic (Kristeva’s concept) and the maternal as necessary disruptive checks on a patriarchal Symbolic Order. In reading the narrative in this way, this essay does not seek to foreclose on other interpretations which may more fully illuminate the material and historical contexts in which Hartnett’s stories of abandoned and lost mothers and children are activated.

  • Coal Threatens Reef and Community
    114 Boundary Street Railway Estate, Townsville Qld, 4810 PO Box 364, Townsville Ph: 61 07 47716226 [email protected] www.nqcc.org.au MEDIA RELEASE 8 April 2013 Coal threatens reef and community With the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior arriving in Townsville next Friday as part of its campaign to draw world attention to the impacts of Australia’s coal industry on climate change and the Great Barrier Reef, North Queensland Conservation Council (NQCC) is warning of the impact of turning Townsville port into a coal export facility. “Shipping coal through Townsville will have direct and indirect impacts on the Great Barrier Reef “ said NQCC Coordinator Wendy Tubman. “It would result in more ships travelling the reef, with the increased risk of collisions and pollution of the waters and it would also exacerbate climate change – according to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, the greatest risk to the already degraded reef. “But, on top of this, there is also the health risks to the community of Townsville. Unlike other ports, Townsville’s port is slap bang in the middle of town. And areas suitable for stockpiling coal are a mere six kilometres downwind of the CBD. “We have seen the health impacts of coal dust down south. In Newcastle there is huge community unrest and now a government inquiry into air quality. In Brisbane, Mackay and Bowen we are seeing similar concern. “People living in coastal Townsville are already subject to the well-known black sticky dust that settles in and on homes around the CBD. They sure as eggs, won’t want coal dust on top of that.” Ms Tubman also pointed to the work done by JCU researcher Kathy Burns in mapping the drift of coal dust from Abbot Point, just north of Bowen out to the outer reef.
