At the beginning our naiviety led us to believe that reports miraculously land in the ‘in’ file, photos are taken by themselves and the final magazine arrives in all its splendour out of thin air. After two weeks, this illusory belief was shattered, thanks to Mrs. Shepherd’s constant reminders and imposed deadlines, the Collegian Committee set about performing its actual task. People owning reports were hounded and harassed (by the secret Collegian Force) photography sessions were ruled with an iron fist and the school body was subjected to the revolutionary 'A-:-- torture, technique of Collegian Committee advertising (thanks Mrs. Pyett for the loan of your sunnies). Through these trials and tribulations the Collegian Committee has brought about several changes as you will no doubt notice. We hope that these alterations improve the overall effect of the 1991 Collegian. Finally as the year draws to an end, I would like to thank Mrs. Shepherd plus Mr. Thompson for their invaluable help and the entire Collegian Committee for their tireless work. I am sure that they’d all agree that working on the Collegian was a rewarding and enjoyable experience.

Almost immediately the Kennedys were shaped by the nature of the entrants - attracting journalists from the likes of Four Corners, 60 Minutes, The Australian, A Current Affair, 730 Report, SBS and the Financial Review to become a truly independent, national celebration of Australian journalism. The awards were created by journalists for journalists - open to all-comers with no agendas or historical obligation to affiliation. A decade later the Kennedys have become the Australian media's night of nights - celebrated for their inclusiveness, independence, respect for the past and the value of fostering the next generation of the nation's finest journalists.

Les Kennedy THE INSPIRATION OF THE KENNEDY AWARDS Les Kennedy was never in the officers' mess of journalism - and nor did he want to be. He loved nothing better than excelling on the road as a leader of other "shoe leather" journalists. Proud of his indigenous heritage, Les' awareness of his past and the pride he took in it were the twin chambers of a big, generous heart. It was his fabled generosity that fuelled a selfless devotion to a long list of protégés.

    Life as a Content Provider Ms Maxine McKew Journalist, The Bulletin and ABC Television 30 November 2000 AN Smith Lecture in Journalism Arthur Norman Smith died in 1935 - not one of the great years, it would have to be said, for employment opportunities for journalists - or for anyone else. They were dark days in Australia - as the writer Shirley Hazzard has put it -when she was growing up "this young country seemed old." My grandparents, like a lot of Australians, lost a great deal in the Depression of the 1930's. Thirty years later I grew up listening to their vivid recollections of what was obviously a very pinched existence for them -a life lived on a small stage because of too few opportunities and a country turned in on itself. But with characteristics that I think are very Australian, they survived adversity because they had a bit of 'get and up go', big hearts, a lot of spirit and a sense of fun that never left them. Above all they never lost their curiosity and interest in a world beyond their own. Their stories opened my mind to a world beyond the confines of Moorooka and Scarborough in Queensland.... and helped stimulate me to wonder, to question and enquire - I must have driven them mad sometimes with my whys and hows but they always responded. If we fast-forward to today, to what should be the beginning of a glittering century for this lucky land, we see immense prosperity and dynamism. NSW Premier, Bob Carr, no doubt intoxicated by the success of the Olympic Games said recently - "we're living through the best time in our history." For those of you tempted to mock this, I invite you to consider the perspective of those who live in very troubled societies.

So I’m thrilled that shadow Attorney General Mark Dreyfus QC has taken a stand and wish him success in the long hard climb ahead.” 98 Brendan Jones: “Mr. Dreyfus is no advocate for free speech, but the fact that he has convinced you he is – and in just one short speech – has persuaded me he’s a first class barrister.” 98 Journalist Martin Hirst: “I loved that he rubbed their pretty little noses in it. He made the point strongly that the so-called “marketplace of ideas” is a conservative myth that bears little relation to reality.” 98 133 Brendan Jones: “All Dreyfus did was say he rejected it.

    1 I Strongly Support the Concept of a Royal Commission and the Senate

    1 I strongly support the concept of a Royal Commission and the Senate Inquiry into media diversity, but do not propose a suggested terms of reference for the Royal Commission. The Terms of Reference for a Royal Commission are the preserve of the membership of the Senate Inquiry to recommend. But I hope the following content will be more than an incentive to the deliberative process in formulating the Terms of Reference, but are concurrently responsive to the Senate Inquiry invitation for submissions. Furthermore, I sincerely hope the following ideas will be critically examined by such an essential Royal Commission. I congratulate the Senate for establishing this Inquiry. My support for the spirit and intent of this initiative by the Senate has crystallised over the last decade. Australia does not support monopoly power in commerce industry & business, That’s why Australia has The ACCC – The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. If one may instance an ACCC Queensland case study as it relates to newspapers and this Senate Inquiry. The ACCC comprehensively failed when it granted News Corp the right to acquire APN newspapers in areas like Mackay Rockhampton Gladstone Bundaberg Maryborough Harvey Bay Gympie and The Sunshine Coast. News Corp subsequently further failed all these communities and their citizens by closing down every printed newspaper in these localities. During this time the Commissioners from the ACCC made what I believed to be disappointing claims in the context of the further concentration of Australian media into the hands of News Corp, by saying that citizens in these areas could get news from other internet based news outlets.
