Overland 171 Lecture & Launch
MARGARET SIMONS presents
MYTH, EVIDENCE & CULTURE WARS
--------------------------------------------------------
Simons talks about Australia's 'culture warriors' and their recent
claims against ideological bias and calls for scholarly 'evidence'.
Taking on media heavyweights including Piers Ackerman, Ron Brunton and
Christopher Pearson, she talks about the media fallout from her
explosive book, The Meeting of the Waters, which documents what has come
to be known as the 'Hindmarsh Island Bridge Affair'.
Ron Brunton, Piers Ackerman and Christopher Pearson, says Simons, were
key players in the Hindmarsh Island Bridge Affair. Simons explains how
their actions, along with evidence buried and withheld from the Royal
Commission, led to a dramatic miscarriage of justice. "In both
Aboriginal culture and in our own, information follows the lines of
power, and secrets are the inevitable accompaniment to power."
Overland 171 - 'OLD WOUNDS' - focuses on the contemporary 'culture wars'
of black and white Australia, and includes also Jeff Sparrow on the
media's part in the 'war on terror', Claire Tuke's dramatic account of
life at Melbourne University's Ormond College, Michael Wilding on the
Sydney 'push', fiction, poetry, reviews and opinion.

FREE TO BE AUSTRALIAN
Trade Agreements are threatening our culture
------------------------------------------------------
Our film, television, broadcast & print media, and performing arts are
vitally important to Australians. However, our small population and
geographic diversity mean that in order not only to thrive but also to
survive, clear industry regulation and financial support are essential.
Australiaís cultural industries rely on the support of laws that protect
local content and public broadcasting, develop local skills and provide
opportunities for local creators.
Current negotiations around open and unregulated trade in the cultural
sector put at risk stories, local culture and skills developed by
writers, journalists, actors and technicians.
The only way to guarantee Australiaís right to support and protect its
own culture is for media, entertainment and arts to be excluded from all
free trade agreements. Our culture is important. Join us so that we
donít let trade agreements take away the freedom to tell our Australian
stories.

Mark Vaile (Federal Trade Minister & Deputy National Party Leader)
replies to questions from Maxine McKew (Bulletin journalist) regarding
US attempts to eliminate publicly funded broadcasting in the US/Aust
Free Trade Agreement negotiations . . .
Mark Vaile - "We're not about to negotiate what the ABC or SBS does."
Maxine McKew - "So public broadcasting is non-negotiable?"
Mark Vaile - "I can't say itís non-negotiable."
Maxine McKew - "So why not take it off the table now?"
Mark Vaile - "It ís tactical." Vaile concludes.
Our culture and entertainment industries are too important for our
negotiators to be playing tactical/political games with!
