Dr. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono I am pleased to welcome the distinguished delegates to the 5th World Islamic Economic Forum, which Indonesia is hosting for the first time. As Patron to the 5th World Islamic Economic Forum, I find it rewarding to witness how, year after year, economic cooperation among Muslim countries has been growing from strength to strength. In fact, the earlier World Economic Forums succeeded in promoting partnership for development not only within the Muslim world but also beyond. I am confident that this 5th World Islamic Economic Forum will also be successful in showcasing and fostering economic collaboration within the Islamic world as well as between the Islamic world and the rest of the international community. Indonesia is in the best position to serve as the hub of the wide-ranging interaction that is being advocated and promoted by the Forum. Indonesia is a politically stable and economically dynamic nation with a vast market of 230 million people, abundant natural resources, a highly skilled labour force and a pro-business policy environment. It is also home to the largest Muslim population in the world, the world’s third largest democracy and fourth largest population. Moreover, we in Indonesia are strong advocates of global partnership as a way of addressing the problems of our time. We believe that global problems require global solutions. Thus it is timely and appropriate that the theme of the Forum is “Food and Energy Security & Stemming the Tide of the Global Financial Crisis.” It is therefore my hope that in the course of the Forum the participants will find feasible ways of addressing the global financial crisis and ensuring food and energy security through a global partnership involving the nations of the Islamic world and the rest of the international community. Once again, on behalf of the Government and people of the Republic of Indonesia, I warmly welcome the participants to the 5th World Islamic Economic Forum. I also commend the hard work and creativity of the World Islamic Economic Forum Foundation and the Organizing Committee which will ensure the success of this Forum. H.E. Dr. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono President of the Republic of Indonesia Patron of the 5th World Islamic Economic Forum Honourary Fellow of the WIEF Foundation 4 5th World Islamic 5th World Islamic 5 Economic Forum Economic Forum Preface from H.E. Dr. Sofyan A Djalil Co-Chairman of The 5th WIEF Organizing Committee Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh It is a great honor to host the 5th World Islamic Economic Forum. As the largest Muslim country in the world, Indonesia is the appropriate venue for this forum where the articulation of Islamic principles into business practices are emerging to flourish. The pressing issue of food and energy security and the recent global financial crisis precipitate an urgency for economic communities worldwide to take charge in improving on their respective sectors and fields. It is therefore our responsibility to maximize the potential of this Forum with the hope that it may bring upon wide and positive impact on Muslim ummah and the world at large. The 5th World Islamic Economic Forum is not only a continuation of the past forum, but more importantly it will address wide-ranging issues by experts from around the world. The forum consists of several programs, such as Young Leaders Forum with the theme “The Leadership Imperative: Towards a Good Succession Plan”, the Businesswomen Forum with the theme “Women Entrepreneurs: The Driving Force Towards a Stronger Future”, and the Main Forum with the theme “Food & Energy Security and Stemming the Tide of Global Financial Crisis”. The event will be concluded by a Post Forum Programme with the theme “Indonesia in Focus: Tourism and Investment in the Region”. The forum will be attended by many distinguished guests and around 80 prominent international speakers. The participants range from prominent heads of state/government and notable captains of business and industry to young entrepreneurs and businesswomen from various parts of the world with a shared view, and that is to strengthen business collaboration among the Muslim business community at large. The post forum program will provide the opportunity for our distinguished guests to be introduced to the immense resources that Indonesia has as well as the vast potential that has yet to be maximized. This forum will put emphasis on the various opportunities that Indonesia has to offer with more than 37 potential projects that we have specifically identified. These projects cover various sectors that comprise oil and gas, mining, agriculture, infrastructure, tourism, finance, and many more. I hope the program will give you an insight about the opportunity of the potential mutual benefit with Indonesia. It is my hope that this year’s World Islamic Economic Forum will bring much success through the contribution and cooperation by all of the participants and that this forum may become the platform for the trajectory of new and ongoing constructive relationships within the Muslim business community. Thank You Wassalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. H.E. Dr. Sofyan A. Djalil Co-Chairman of The 5th WIEF Organizing Committee 6 5th World Islamic 5th World Islamic 7 Economic Forum Economic Forum Preface from Tanri Abeng Co-Chairman of The 5th WIEF Organizing Committee On behalf of the 5th World Islamic Economic Forum Organizing Committee, we are delighted to welcome our delegates to this prestigious Forum whereby the sole vision is to promote the ongoing economic development and cooperation in the Muslim world as well as the non-Muslim world. With Indonesia as host for the first time, the 5th World Islamic Economic Forum has incorporated a few additional enhancements to the existing accomplished formats of the World Islamic Economic Forums – Pre-Forum and Main Forum. The Global CEO Panel is our first addition scheduled immediately after the existing Leadership Panel of past Main Forums whereby the Heads of States and top government officials impart their years of wisdom on the world economy from a governmental and policy point of view. To support these pearls of wisdom, the Global CEO Panel will then highlight from a business perspective a more detailed understanding of the present economic development, pressing issues and potential resolutions. Following this CEO Panel, the visible and concrete outcome of such collaborations in the Forum’s economic enterprises will be showcased through the signing of Memorandum of Agreements relating to bilateral or multilateral investments, specifically in this year’s Forum with the host country – Indonesia. A final addition to the 5th World Islamic Economic Forum is the Post Forum. This Forum will allow the business participants to focus on specific regional investment interests and raise awareness of natural tourism wonders belonging to the host country, with this year being “Indonesia in Focus” as its main theme. We hope the overall Program of the 5th World Islamic Economic Forum will bring novel economic strategies and ventures including stronger and more robust cooperation between the business communities attending the Forum, especially through the ample opportunities during the Forum for business networking. This exciting Program Book publication features all of our 3 Forums events – Pre-Forum, Main Forum and Post Forum with detailed schedules of all our plenary session topics and speakers. Last but not least, as co-chairman of 5th World Islamic Economic Forum, I extend our renowned Indonesian hospitality in welcoming our honored guests as well as thanking all for the continued support of our partners in the corporate community. Tanri Abeng Co-Chairman of The 5th WIEF Organizing Committee 8 5th World Islamic 5th World Islamic 9 Economic Forum Economic Forum Message from Hon. Tun Musa Hitam Chairman of The WIEF Foundation It is a pleasure to welcome you to the 5th World Islamic Economic Forum in the capital city of Jakarta, Republic of Indonesia. This year’s Forum bearing the theme “Food and Energy Security & Stemming the Tide of the Global Financial Crisis” seeks to address some of the most important issues confronting the Muslim world at present. Issues such as the global financial crisis, food and energy security, the role of SMEs in development, the prospects of green technology and its job growth trajectory are among the pertinent subjects that will be discussed in the plenary sessions of this year’s Forum. I am sure that this year’s Forum in Jakarta will be an informative and fruitful event for the government and business leaders and many others present, with the hope that more business cards will be exchanged, more business partnerships will be forged, and a stronger collaboration in trade in the Muslim world can be realized. I wish the participants of the Forum a great networking and enlightening session. And last but certainly not least, I would like to thank the Government of the Republic of Indonesia, the Indonesian National Organizing Committee and the Indonesian people for sharing our dream and giving us support to make this Forum an astounding success.

Both will attempt to answer the question: How has the moral ambiguity that marks both colonial and contemporary Australian crime fiction been informed and influenced by the dissenter and anti- authoritarian aspects of Australian history and character? Crime fiction has a long tradition in Australian culture, ensured by its Western origins as a penal colony.

ENGLE New York University • Volatility and Risk Institute • 44 West Fourth Street, Suite 9-62 New York, NY 10012-1126 • 212-998-0710, Asst: -0702 • Fax: 212-995-4220 [email protected] • http://www.stern.nyu.edu/rengle/ BIOGRAPHY Robert Engle, the Michael Armellino Professor of Finance at New York University Stern School of Business, was awarded the 2003 Nobel Prize in Economics for his research on the concept of autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH). He developed this method for statistical modeling of time-varying volatility and demonstrated that these techniques accurately capture the properties of many time series. Professor Engle shared the prize with Clive W. J. Granger of the University of California at San Diego. Professor Engle is an expert in time series analysis with a long-standing interest in the analysis of financial markets. His ARCH model and its generalizations have become indispensable tools not only for researchers, but also for analysts of financial markets, who use them in asset pricing and in evaluating portfolio risk. His research has also produced such innovative statistical methods as cointegration, common features, autoregressive conditional duration (ACD), CAViaR and now dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) models. He is currently the Co-Director of the NYU Stern Volatility and Risk Institute and is the Co- Founding President of the Society for Financial Econometrics (SoFiE), a global non-profit organization housed at NYU. Before joining NYU Stern in 2000, Professor Engle was Chancellor’s Associates Professor and Economics Department Chair at the University of California, San Diego, and Associate Professor of Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

I also certify that the thesis has been written by me and that any help that I have received in preparing this thesis, and all sources used, have been acknowledged in this thesis. Signature of Candidate A lu-~ /... ~·7············· For KEITH MORRIS 1920-1982 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis has taken six long, busy years to complete. My first thanks must go to my supervisor, Stephen Muecke, for his help and his tolerance all that time, and his friendship for much longer; to Ross Karavis, who made filling out forms a cheerful activity; and to Hilary Yerbury, Associate Dean of Research in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, to whom I owe a great many debts -- not least, her kind but effective pressure to finish the thesis and her unstinting assistance in making that possible. If the thesis itself has taken six years, the chapters draw on more than decade of research and conversation. Many people have helped me directly with research materials, advice and information during this time; my thanks to Eric Campbell, Rolando Caputo, Michael Dean, John Docker, John Forbes, Louise Johnson, James Hay, Chris Hilton, Colin Hood, Pat Laughren, Jenny Lee, Rachel Moore, Joyce Morris, Andrew Naylor, Paul Patton (who first suggested in 1982 that I write about Sydney Tower), Gil Rodman, Elvira Sprogis, Michael Taussig, Paul Willemen and Ann Zahalka.

  • Watching Sylvania Waters Watching Sylvania Waters
    watching Sylvania Waters watching Sylvania Waters 10 October – 29 November 2009 Introduction Contents Michael Rolfe In many respects Reality Check: watching Sylvania Waters has been “in the making” since the early 1990s Reality Check | Daniel Mudie Cunningham 6 when, as curator Daniel Mudie Cunningham notes, the Sutherland Shire “went global”. Courtesy of a BBC/ ABC co-production, Sylvania Waters was beamed into the consciousness of television audiences here in 1992 The Artists 18 and in New Zealand and the United Kingdom in 1993. Clearly, in the context of Hazelhurst telling local stories, there is none bigger, and certainly none more deliciously composed. Brimful of lifestyle choices and cultural peculiarities, Sylvania Waters dragged “the Shire”, reluctantly, to a place in television history. Reality Soaps | Andrew Mercado 59 The exhibition includes work by ten commissioned artists/collectives, along with Peter Cooley’s 1993 ceramic The Archive 66 portraits of Noeline and Laurie Donaher. These artworks are matched with selected episodes from the series, some archival footage and a selection of memorabilia, and reflect a range of art making approaches and media techniques being pursued today. Episode Guide | Anna Lawrenson 86 In looking to connect art and artists to events and stories that have shaped the Sutherland Shire, we see The Contributors 89 broader opportunities to connect contemporary art with people’s experience and knowledge of their everyday. Audience development and community reach remain at the heart of our programming and are extended on this occasion by the production of ABC Television’s Artscape: The Sylvania Waters Project (airing on ABC1 on 27 Exhibition Checklist 90 October 2009 at 10pm).
