  • Going Down the Hole Beaconsfield, Celebrities and the Changing News Culture in Australia JASON BAINBRIDGE
    going down the hole Beaconsfield, Celebrities and the Changing News Culture in Australia JASON BAINBRIDGE We didn’t realise the hype would be as big as it has been, and it hasn’t really sunk in yet. When we were down the hole one day, I remember tapping Brant on the shoulder and asking him if he thought we’d make the front page of The [Launceston] Examiner, our local paper. Then we get out and Oprah wants to interview us! Todd Russell1 I would like my life to settle down and to be normal again … Before we could go outside and there would be no cameras on us but now cameras follow Dad and everyone wants his autograph … And I wish the media would mind its business because they say things that are not true. Maddison Russell (Todd Russell’s daughter, from a writing competition)2 — Introduction By the time this article sees print, the events at Beaconsfield, Tasmania will have joined a backlog of similar news moments, largely unremembered by all but those who were personally affected by what happened there. Yet for fourteen days in mid-2006 this small mining town became, like so many places before it, ‘the network executive’s best friend’3 and an indication of a significant change in the way television news is reported and packaged in Australia. At 9.23 pm, on 25 April (Anzac Day), a rockfall at the Beaconsfield gold mine killed miner Larry Knight (his body was recovered two days later). On 30 April, two miners—Todd Russell and Brant Webb—were discovered to still be alive one kilometre underground.

  • ABC Friends Conference Notes
    1 ABC Friends’ Public Broadcasting Conference Friday 6th October 2017 at NSW Teachers’ Federation Centre Democracy demands diversity NSW President & National Vice-president, Mal Hewitt, welcomed all to the conference before introducing keynote speaker Dr Margaret Simons, Academic, Journalist, and Author who is currently writing a book on the history of the ABC. Dr Simons spoke of the rapid change that developed under Mark Scott’s stewardship of the ABC. At the start Google was just a search engine. By the end of his tenure on-line news was ‘the norm’. Google and Facebook are the most powerful publishers, far more so than all in the Murdoch stable. She said that the ABC’s strengths are diminishing over time. ‘Appointment time’ viewers are mostly over-50s. Her key points were: ➢ Scott tried to achieve change without destruction & destabilisation. ➢ He felt it was better to keep 75% of existing audience, as opposed to… ➢ Guthrie trying to reach 100% of audience by 2025, though that aim has been modified ➢ Guthrie keen to reach younger audience, fill the gap between children & older generation ➢ In 2006 the ABC Board was stacked conservatively ➢ Currently, half of the ABC Board is ideologically opposed to the ABC! ➢ Change so often seems to mean threat ➢ There is also a potent threat from what Simons called ‘left-wing conservatives’ who see that change can mean only loss. ➢ But change is essential – without it the ABC would never have established digital platforms, nor iView or Triple J ➢ Direction of change is the issue. ➢ Pace of change has increased since the Scott years.

  • The Doldrums in Opposition, 1968–1989
    13 . The doldrums in opposition, 1968–1989 By 1968, after 10 years in opposition, Labor was finally getting its act together, presenting itself as a viable alternative to the government. While Labor had regrouped and seen off the rival QLP–DLP challenge, the Coalition government had entered a period of instability. In 1968, Frank Nicklin, the ‘Gentleman Premier’, had finally retired and his successor, Jack Pizzey, died suddenly after only six months in office. The new Premier, Joh Bjelke-Petersen, had difficulties convincing his colleagues that he had the wherewithal to lead the government and be electorally competitive. Labor had replaced the veteran Jack Duggan with Jack Houston, who was finally making some impression with voters. Labor’s vote had been increasing but was no threat to the conservative Coalition’s hegemony. Yet Labor was afflicted with bouts of internecine conflict and found it difficult to present a unified image to the electorate. It appeared that the parliamentary party (and its union wing) was perpetually feuding and driven largely by enmity, unfit to govern and incapable of denting the Coalition’s popularity. Over successive elections, Labor looked divided, presented dull and predictable campaigns and had bland leaders who spent their time looking over their shoulders. As one contemporary commentator noted: ‘The Labor Party, with wondrous inventiveness, manage[d] to find new ways to stab itself in the back’ (The Age, 29 November 1980). Labor’s three decades in opposition were not due entirely to the government’s constraints or the gerrymander; Labor would have to share some of the blame for its internal disarray and factional brawling.
