  • First Century Fox Inc and Sky Plc; European Intervention Notice
    Rt Hon Karen Bradley Secretary of State for Digital Culture Media and Sport July 14 2017 Dear Secretary of State Twenty-First Century Fox Inc and Sky plc; European Intervention Notice The Campaign for Press and Broadcasting is responding to your request for new submissions on the test of commitment to broadcasting standards. We are pleased to submit this short supplement to the submission we provided for Ofcom in March. As requested, the information is up-to-date, but we are adding an appeal to you to reconsider Ofcom’s recommendation to accept the 21CF bid on this ground, which we find wholly unconvincing in the light of the evidence we submitted. SKY NEWS IN AUSTRALIA In a pre-echo of the current buyout bid in the UK, Sky News Australia, previously jointly- owned with other media owners, became wholly owned by the Murdochs on December 1 last year. When the CPBF made its submission on the Commitment to Broadcasting Standards EIN to Ofcom in March there were three months of operation by which to judge the direction of the channel, but now there are three months more. A number of commentaries have been published. The Murdoch entity that controls Sky Australia is News Corporation rather than 21FC but the service is clearly following the Fox formula about which the CPBF commented to Ofcom. Indeed it is taking the model of broadcasting high-octane right-wing political commentary in peak viewing times even further. While Fox News has three continuous hours of talk shows on weekday evenings, Sky News Australia has five.

  • Timbuckleyieefa DIRTY POWER BIG COAL's NETWORK of INFLUENCE OVER the COALITION GOVERNMENT CONTENTS
    ICAC investigation: Lobbying, Access and Influence (Op Eclipse) Submission 2 From: Tim Buckley To: Lobbying Subject: THE REGULATION OF LOBBYING, ACCESS AND INFLUENCE IN NSW: A CHANCE TO HAVE YOUR SAY Date: Thursday, 16 May 2019 2:01:39 PM Attachments: Mav2019-GPAP-Dirtv-Power-Report.Ddf Good afternoon I am delighted that the NSW ICAC is looking again into the issue of lobbying and undue access by lobbyists representing self-serving, private special interest groups, and the associated lack of transparency. This is most needed when it relates to the private (often private, foreign tax haven based entities with zero transparency or accountability), use of public assets. IEEFA works in the public interest analysis relating to the energy-fmance-climate space, and so we regularly see the impact of the fossil fuel sector in particular as one that thrives on the ability to privatise the gains for utilising one-time use public assets and in doing so, externalising the costs onto the NSW community. This process is constantly repeated. The community costs, be they in relation to air, particulate and carbon pollution, plus the use of public water, and failure to rehabilitate sites post mining, brings a lasting community cost, particularly in the area of public health costs. The cost-benefit analysis presented to the IPC is prepared by the proponent, who has an ability to present biased self-serving analysis that understates the costs and overstates the benefits. To my understanding, the revolving door of regulators, politicians, fossil fuel companies and their lobbyists is corrosive to our democracy, undermining integrity and fairness.

  • Kathy Gooch Draft Thesis
    BECAUSE SHE’S A WOMAN: GENDER STEREOTYPES AND WOMEN’S PARTICIPATION IN AUSTRALIAN POLITICS KATHRYN GOOCH 2015 A dissertation by Kathryn Gooch, BA (Hons.), University of Western Sydney Submitted for the degree requirements of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY under the supervision of: Dr Kate Gleeson, PhD Senior Lecturer, Macquarie Law School and Professor Marion Maddox, PhD, PhD ARC Future Fellow, Modern History, Politics and International Relations, Macquarie University and Dr Judy Lattas, Interdisciplinary Gender Studies, Macquarie University. July, 2015 Candidate Declaration I certify that the thesis entitled Because She’s A Woman: Gender Stereotypes and Women’s Participation in Australian Politics and submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Politics is my own work. It is the result of my own research, except where otherwise acknowledged, and has not previously been submitted as part of the requirements for a higher degree to any institution other than Macquarie University. I declare that all information sources and literature used are appropriately acknowledged. Signature: ………………………………… Date: ……………………… Student ID: 41683110 i Acknowledgements My acknowledgement and gratitude is first directed to Professor Marion Maddox, whose gentle guidance was integral to my completion of this thesis. Marion’s consistent confidence in my research was especially encouraging. I once remarked to Marion that simply being in her presence was calming and inspiring; this, along with Michael’s perfect coffees, is to be blamed for my tendency to stretch out our supervision meetings. I have learned a great deal more from Marion than I could have anticipated: about research and academy; politics, the media and cynicism; and how much personality chickens have.
