    1 The NINE Network presents A Playmaker Production Love Child Season 3 MEDIA KIT NINE Publicity Amanda Poulos T 02 9965 2489 M 0414 503 418 E [email protected] 2 Synopsis Just one month on and times they are a-changing. Shirley (Ella Scott Lynch) is confronted with the return of her first child, and Matron (Mandy McElhinney) is determined to see the re-opening of Stanton House. Joan (Jessica Marais) struggles to have it all – husband, baby and career - and Annie (Gracie Gilbert) struggles to make ends meet. Patty’s (Harriet Dyer) business is booming, whilst Viv (Sophie Hensser) is in desperate search of a connection … and Martha (Miranda Tapsell) is faced with a question that is hard to answer. Times they are a-changing. It’s 1970 and times they are a-changing. The Vietnam War is dividing the world, music and the media are shifting old ideals, and the lines between friendship, love and marriage are blurring. It’s a month after we left the young women of Kings Cross Hospital and Stanton House, and all of them are now in the throes of dealing with the choices and ramifications of the events of series two. Dr Joan Millar (Jessica Marais) continues her career as one of the country’s most promising obstetricians in this brave new world of laparoscopic surgery and burgeoning fertility treatments. But juggling a baby, a husband who is facing manslaughter charges, as well as the inconveniences of living on-site at the hospital, takes its toll. A sudden infection and emergency surgery leaves Joan facing a life of infertility, and it’s not long before she must face the truth of McNaughton’s (Jonathan LaPaglia) part in Greg Mathieson’s death – a death that has led to a manslaughter charge and the possibility of Jim (Matthew Le Nevez) facing 12 years behind bars.

  • Senate Inquiry Into Australian Content on Broadcast, Radio and Streaming Services Film Victoria Submission – 12 February 2018
    Senate inquiry into Australian content on broadcast, radio and streaming services Film Victoria submission – 12 February 2018 / Australian content on broadcast and streaming services is subject to market failure and require continued Australian Government intervention. / These services provide accessible gateways for Australians to experience Australian stories that advance Australian culture and identity. / Without such intervention Australia risks dilution of its unique culture by global, commercial market forces. / Content sectors most at risk are adult and children’s drama, narrative comedy and documentary through which Australians have the benefit of seeing themselves represented on screen - their accents, humour, lifestyles, environments and history. Introduction / The Victorian Government has three agencies dedicated to supporting and developing Victoria’s screen industry. Film Victoria provides strategic leadership and assistance to Victorian creators of film, television and digital media by investing in projects, businesses and people, and promoting Victoria as a world-class production destination nationally and internationally. Docklands Studios Melbourne (DSM) is Victoria’s premier film and television production studio facility and the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) is the national museum of film, television, digital games, digital culture and art. / Victorian Government support for the Victorian television industry is focused on the creation and production of television drama, narrative comedy and documentaries. These are generally high cost productions that rely on a degree of government financial support unlike other types of screen content such as reality television, news or sports. / The term “television” is used for convenience in this submission.
