  • Sacrificing Steve
    Cultural Studies Review volume 16 number 2 September 2010 http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/journals/index.php/csrj/index pp. 179–93 Luke Carman 2010 Sacrificing Steve How I Killed the Crocodile Hunter LUKE CARMAN UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN SYDNEY There has been a long campaign claiming that in a changed world and in a changed Australia, the values and symbols of old Australia are exclusive, oppressive and irrelevant. The campaign does not appear to have succeeded.1 Let’s begin this paper with a peculiar point of departure. Let’s abjure for the moment the approved conventions of academic discussion and begin not with the obligatory expounding of some contextualising theoretical locus, but instead with an immersion much more personal. Let’s embrace the pure, shattering honesty of humiliation. Let’s begin with a tale of shame and, for the sake of practicality, let’s make it mine. Early in September 2006, I was desperately trying to finish a paper on Australian representations of masculinity. The deadline had crept up on me, and I was caught struggling for a focusing point. I wanted a figure to drape my argument upon, one that would fit into a complicated and altogether shaky coagulation of ideas surrounding Australian icons, legends and images—someone who perfectly ISSN 1837-8692 straddled an exploration of masculine constructions within a framework of cringing insecurities and historical silences. I could think of men, I could think of iconic men, and I could think of them in limitless abundance, but none of them encapsulated everything I wanted to say.

Page 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I cannot express enough gratitude to everyone who believed in me on this crazy and fantastic journey; everything you have done has molded me into the person I am today. To my family, who taught me to seek out my own purpose and pursue it wholeheartedly; without you, I would have never taken the chance and moved to England for my Masters. To my professors, who became my trusted resources and friends, your endless and caring teachings have supported me in more ways than I can put into words. To my friends who have never failed to make me smile, I am so lucky to have you in my life. Finally, a special thanks to David Attenborough, Steve Irwin, Terri Irwin, Jane Goodall, Peter Gros, Jim Fowler, and so many others for making me fall in love with wildlife and spark a fire in my heart for their welfare. I grew up on wildlife films and television shows like Planet Earth, Blue Planet, March of the Penguins, Crocodile Hunter, Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom, Shark Week, and others – it was because of those programs that I first fell in love with nature as a kid, and I’ve taken that passion with me, my whole life.

  • Steve Irwin on Drugs! - Never
    Steve Irwin on drugs! - Never Late Summer in 2004 I was in my Sydney office and took a phone call from the HR department manager at Australia Zoo in Qld. I had launched Drug-Safe Australia about four and a half years previously, worked hard to build a viable business with a great reputation. As a result, I was used to getting calls through word of mouth recommendations but this one certainly interested me as I had been a great admirer of Steve and Terri Irwin for a couple of years. It seems that Steve was concerned about drug use amongst his young and enthusiastic team of helpers. One incident in particular had recently made him aware how easy it was to have a tragic accident, even though he himself had grown up with the knowledge and respect crocodiles deserved there were others he couldn’t be so sure of. Steve and Terri’s house backed onto Australia Zoo. It was in fact their front yard. Steve’s notoriety had exploded across the world and he and his family were having difficulty in finding quiet moments to themselves. One of Steve’s greatest pleasures was to walk with his 5-year-old daughter Bindi through the crocodile areas after the Park had closed. One afternoon shortly before I was called, Steve was enjoying his afternoon walk only to find many of the gates on the enclosures were wide open and some smaller crocs were not where they should have been. It turned out that one of his staff, (a young female) had been using marijuana for some time with resulting hallucinations.

  • Claire Deirdre Clements
    University of Otago Power of Inspiration. Analysing the use of a spokesperson to communicate the conservation of wildlife and the natural world. Claire Deirdre Clements A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Communication Centre for Science Communication, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand December, 2013 I Abstract People have had a close relationship with the natural world for thousands of years, but this connection has not always had a positive effect on the flora, fauna and ecosystems of the world. Indeed over time species and habitats have been lost forever; attributed directly to mankind’s actions. However despite these environmental tragedies there have been triumphs, due in part to a type of spokesperson; a conservation spokesperson. This is essentially a person who speaks on behalf of conservation of the natural world and wildlife and attempts to influence and persuade change to favor a conservation campaign. Today in the 21st century it is generally agreed that there are two distinct types of conservation spokespeople: the celebrity and the celebrity conservationist. The creative component of this thesis is a film entitled Mystery Bird. Fellow science communication student, Sean Giffin, and I made this film from December 2010 to October 2011. Mystery Bird tells the story of Geoff Harrow and his life’s campaign to save an endangered New Zealand bird, the Hutton’s shearwater, from extinction. Whilst making this film I realized that Harrow was a conservation spokesperson, and this motivated me to analyse the use of a spokesperson during a conservation campaign.
