  • The Sydney Cricket Ground: Sport and the Australian Identity
    The Sydney Cricket Ground: Sport and the Australian Identity Nathan Saad Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Technology Sydney This paper explores the interrelationship between sport and culture in Australia and seeks to determine the extent to which sport contributes to the overall Australian identity. It uses the Syndey Cricket Ground (SCG) as a case study to demonstrate the ways in which traditional and postmodern discourses influence one’s conception of Australian identity and the role of sport in fostering identity. Stoddart (1988) for instance emphasises the utility of sports such as cricket as a vehicle through which traditional British values were inculcated into Australian society. The popularity of cricket in Australia constitutes perhaps what Markovits and Hellerman (2001) coin a “hegemonic sports culture,” and thus represents an influential component of Australian culture. However, the postmodern discourse undermines the extent to which Australian identity is based on British heritage. Gelber (2010) purports that contemporary Australian society is far less influenced by British traditions as it was prior to WWII. The influence of immigration in Australia, and the global ascendency of Asia in recent years have led to a shift in national identity, which is reflected in sport. Edwards (2009) and McNeill (2008) provide evidence that traditional constructions of Australian sport minimise the cultural significance of indigenous athletes and customs in shaping national identity. Ultimately this paper argues that the role of sport in defining Australia’s identity is relative to the discourse employed in constructing it. Introduction The influence of sport in contemporary Australian life and culture seems to eclipse mere popularity.

  • Leigh Rugby Club Was Formed in 1878 and Has Been the Heartbeat of the Community Ever Since
    Leigh Rugby Club was formed in 1878 and has been the heartbeat of the community ever since. One of the few towns in England where Rugby League is the dominant sport, Leigh’s own history is intrinsically linked with the fortunes of its rugby league club. Indeed, our town’s crest features a Latin motto which means ‘Progress with Unity’ something we always strive to instil. If you visit Leigh on a Sunday morning you will witness hundreds of children playing the game of rugby league. At our community clubs like Leigh Miners Rangers and Leigh East you will find entire families committed encouraging the disciplines and togetherness of our sport. It is a story reflected in Leigh’s own history where generations of the same family have pulled on the hooped shirt with pride. Both Leigh East and Leigh Miners play a kick away from Leigh Sports Village, a facility which has regenerated the town since it opened more than 10 years ago. More than just a stadium, this is a complex which has welcomed Champions League winners Bayern Munich and Rugby League World Champions Australia for training. Next year, the stadium will host several matches in the Rugby League World Cup and will also be a host venue for the Women’s European Football Championships. Manchester United Women have played their games at the stadium since their formation and global TV coverage means the name of the Leigh Sports Village is now a familiar one with sports fans across the world. It is a stadium which ‘Leythers’ are happy to call home and the atmosphere on match days can take your breath away.

    19 May 2004 Legislative Assembly 1175 WEDNESDAY, 19 MAY 2004 Legislative Assembly Mr SPEAKER (Hon. R.K. Hollis, Redcliffe) read prayers and took the chair at 9.30 a.m. PRIVILEGE District Health Councils; Comments by Member for Burnett Hon. G.R. NUTTALL (Sandgate—ALP) (Minister for Health) (9.31 a.m.): I rise on a matter of privilege. I have disturbing information this morning about the conduct of a member of this House who has threatened a community volunteer who helps to run one of Queensland's independent district health councils. As most members would be aware, I have asked district health councils to take on a broader role this term in encouraging more Queenslanders to take an active role in the hospitals and health centres in their communities. This is about encouraging communities to have more ownership of their local health care services. Of their own accord, the chair of the Bundaberg District Health Council wrote to the editor of the Bundaberg News Mail last week on behalf of all district council members to refute constant and unsubstantiated claims by the member for Burnett, Mr Rob Messenger, that the Bundaberg Hospital was in crisis. The chairman, Mr Viv Chase, with the permission of members made public the phone numbers of every member of the council stating the council wished to take a proactive role in health care and would be happy to assist patients and local residents with any issue they maybe experiencing. On the same day, last Thursday, the member for Burnett, in what I can only describe as a cowardly and despicable act, phoned the council chairman and in a veiled threat against Mr Chase and his family called him an apologist for Queensland Health.The member for Burnett then went on to tell Mr Chase, and I quote from a letter from Mr Chase— I will now turn up the blowtorch and you will be included and I will contact all your members of Council to tell them the same.
