Citation Chancellor, I have the honour to present Phillip Andrew Adams, AO for admission to the degree of Doctor of Letters (honoris causa). Phillip Adams is arguably Australia’s number one public intellectual. He has made pivotal contributions to Australia’s identity across film, broadcasting and print media. Phillip Adams’ creative vision paved the way to a vibrant national film industry. Helping to create the Australia Council, Phillip established Australia’s National Film School. He established the South Australian Film Corporation, which became the model for subsequent film commissions in other states. As Chair of the Australian Film Commission, Phillip signed Australia’s first co-production agreements with France and the United Kingdom and persuaded then Treasurer Paul Keating to establish the Australian Film Finance Corporation. Phillip is recognised in his own right for his films and has, amongst many AFI awards, won two ‘Best Films’. Phillip devised the immensely successful Life, Be In It campaign which effected a paradigm shift in Australian society. His campaign for the United Nations’ International Year of the Disabled Person won the Golden Lion at the Cannes Festival in 1982. As a public commentator and broadcaster, Phillip Adams is one of the major facilitators of debate in this country. In this role, he continues to influence the thinking, the welfare and culture of our society.

  • Negotiating Uncertainty: Asteroids, Risk and the Media Felicity Mellor

    Negotiating Uncertainty: Asteroids, Risk and the Media Felicity Mellor

    Accepted pre-publication version Published at: Public Understanding of Science 19(1): (2010) 16-33. Negotiating Uncertainty: Asteroids, Risk and the Media Felicity Mellor ABSTRACT Natural scientists often appear in the news media as key actors in the management of risk. This paper examines the way in which a small group of astronomers and planetary scientists have constructed asteroids as risky objects and have attempted to control the media representation of the issue. It shows how scientists negotiate the uncertainties inherent in claims about distant objects and future events by drawing on quantitative risk assessments even when these are inapplicable or misleading. Although the asteroid scientists worry that media coverage undermines their authority, journalists typically accept the scientists’ framing of the issue. The asteroid impact threat reveals the implicit assumptions which can shape natural scientists’ public discourse and the tensions which arise when scientists’ quantitative uncertainty claims are re-presented in the news media. Keywords: asteroids, impact threat, astronomy, risk, uncertainty, science journalism, media, science news Introduction Over the past two decades, British newspapers have periodically announced the end of the world. Playful headlines such as “The End is Nigh” and “Armageddon Outta Here!” are followed a few days later by reports that there’s no danger after all: “PHEW. The end of the world has been cancelled” (Britten, 1998; Wickham, 2002; Evening Standard , 1998). These stories, and others like them appearing in news media around the world, deal with the possibility that an asteroid or comet may one day collide with the Earth causing global destruction. The threat posed by near-Earth objects (NEOs) has been actively promoted by a group of astronomers and planetary scientists since the late 1980s.

    DON DUNSTAN FOUNDATION 1 DON DUNSTAN ORAL HISTORY PROJECT Phillip ADAMS This is George Lewkowicz for the Don Dunstan Foundation’s Don Dunstan Oral History Project interviewing Phillip Adams on the 1st May 2008 at Phillip Adams’s residence. The topic of interest is the film industry, Phillip’s advice to Don Dunstan on the setting up of the film industry in South Australia and Don and the arts more generally. Phillip, thanks very much for being willing to do this interview. Can you, just for the record, talk briefly about yourself and how you became interested in the film industry? (clock chimes) Well, by the time I got the phone call from Don I’d spent some years persuading, cajoling, bullying, flattering a rapid succession of prime ministers into doing things. My interest in the film industry was simply as a member of an audience for most of my life and it seemed no-one ever considered it remotely possible that Australia make films. We were an audience for films – leaving aside our extraordinary history of film production, which went back to the dawn of time, which none of us knew about; we didn’t know, for example, we’d made 500 films during the Silent Era alone – so, anyway, nothing was happening. The only film productions in Australia were a couple of very boring industrial docos. But once 1956 arrived with television we had to start doing a few things of our own, and long before I started getting fundamental changes in policy and support mechanisms a law was passed.

  • The Cinema of Giorgio Mangiamele

    The Cinema of Giorgio Mangiamele

    WHO IS BEHIND THE CAMERA? The cinema of Giorgio Mangiamele Silvana Tuccio Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August, 2009 School of Culture and Communication The University of Melbourne Who is behind the camera? Abstract The cinema of independent film director Giorgio Mangiamele has remained in the shadows of Australian film history since the 1960s when he produced a remarkable body of films, including the feature film Clay, which was invited to the Cannes Film Festival in 1965. This thesis explores the silence that surrounds Mangiamele’s films. His oeuvre is characterised by a specific poetic vision that worked to make tangible a social reality arising out of the impact with foreignness—a foreign society, a foreign country. This thesis analyses the concept of the foreigner as a dominant feature in the development of a cinematic language, and the extent to which the foreigner as outsider intersects with the cinematic process. Each of Giorgio Mangiamele’s films depicts a sharp and sensitive picture of the dislocated figure, the foreigner apprehending the oppressive and silencing forces that surround his being whilst dealing with a new environment; at the same time the urban landscape of inner suburban Melbourne and the natural Australian landscape are recreated in the films. As well as the international recognition given to Clay, Mangiamele’s short films The Spag and Ninety-Nine Percent won Australian Film Institute awards. Giorgio Mangiamele’s films are particularly noted for their style. This thesis explores the cinematic aesthetic, visual style and language of the films.

    “We Say Yes” to a Price on Carbon Pollution

    “We Say Yes” to a Price on Carbon Pollution STATEMENT “We Say Yes” to a Price on Carbon Pollution Climate change is already affecting our country, our communities, and the survival of the world’s poor. This year, we have an opportunity to tackle climate change through a price on carbon pollution. To reduce pollution and embrace a cleaner and healthier future Australia urgently needs to put a fair price on pollution. It’s reasonable to ask the big polluters to pay a fair amount per tonne of carbon they emit so they have an incentive to pollute less. We say yes to embracing a cleaner and healthier future by placing a fair price on pollution. We say yes to rewarding businesses who do the right thing, and giving other businesses a reason to clean up their act. Saying yes to a price on pollution means saying yes to investment, innovation, and new jobs based on renewable energy that never runs out. In a country abundant with sun and wind, these industries have waited years to flourish while Australia has delayed. Putting a price on pollution will release billions of dollars that will be used to support low income households, protect jobs, drive innovation in adaptation and clean energy projects and technologies, and support Australian farmers who want to protect the land for future generations. We say YES to a price on pollution and renewable energy investment, YES to jobs and YES to protecting our ecosystems, health and environment before it’s too late.

Phillip Adams, Communities in Control conference, June 2004. Visit www.ourcommunity.com.au Some people have personal trainers: I have my own dominatrix, and I’ll be telling you more about Rhonda Galbally a little later. Her introduction, though, did forget one thing, which is that I too spent a day in a wheelchair. It was in Adelaide, in the International year of the Disabled, and we we’d been having a meeting on the seventh floor of a government building in Adelaide. A young angry man, who knew bloody well that I wasn’t sufficiently credentialled on the issue, insisted that I get into his wheelchair. I wheeled myself outside and was masticated by the lift doors, and when I got in to the lift I found I couldn’t reach the button. When I got to the bottom and was expectorated into the lobby I looked down a cascade, a Niagara, of steps, and realised that that wasn’t on; so I backpedalled - backwheeled – into the carpark, where because I was below the visual threshold I was nearly run over four times. And this was all in the first five minutes. I got out on to the footpath, where I could see people looking at me oddly and mouthing “I didn’t know he was disabled!” And then I came to the lip of the curb, which was, once again, impassable.
