	Australian Programming
		Thus deprived of Australian stories on the screen, when the 1970s Renaissance occurred, the subject of the programming tended to be the indigenous classics, and contemporary themes which depended on a distinctly Australian flavor.
		Today his story is all-pervasive in Australian culture with the Ned Kelly icon appearing in the high culture of Sidney Nolan paintings in the National Gallery in Canberra, and the armour and six guns feature as a logo for a brand of sliced bread.
		But when the ratings demonstrated that these Australian stories were very popular with Australian audiences, it seemed tangible proof that a cultural imperative was also inherent in their acceptance by the indigenous audience.

	Australian Movies - Once were blockbusters...now straight to video
		These early years of Australian cinema showed how movies can be used to reflect Australian culture, but also how that reflection may be subjected to government interference, controversy, or be biased by alternative motivations.

	Jeannie's Australian Herpes Story
		I noticed that the ‘sharing of stories’ often played a key role in people learning to accept their Herpes and to begin moving on with their life.
		I believed that a collection of this type of story could be very helpful to people dealing with Herpes who did not have access to the net or were unaware that this type of support group existed and made the decision to write a book.

	More Australian than Aristotelian: The Australian Bushranger Film, 1904-1914
		Moreover, the circumstances of early Australian production and of Australian culture in the first decades of this century strongly suggest that, despite their parallels with certain early Westerns, this type of film is likely to have played a key role in Australian film history even in the (unimaginable) absence of the American cinema.
		And in the hills, Australian culture also locates nomadic miners who, like the selectors, are figures of endless toil and the overweening power of fortune betting on the caprice and the mercy of the land to once and for all escape the power of the centre.
		At the same time, these two Australian States were acting to confirm what was even then an established and accepted middle-class prejudice: that young men are motivated by their exposure to representations of bushrangers to take up lives of crime.

		Given the deep structural flaws and daily professional failings of Australian journalism, it is passing strange that Australian Story should so regularly be hauled out for a public flogging for crimes against the profession on Crikey.
		Agony’s criticism of Australian Story amounts to the fact that it is “soft” because it allows people to tell their own story.
		True, in its presentation Australian Story does not follow the traditional current affairs format – it is an original concept, thanks Deb Fleming – in all other areas (story selection, research, the timing of stories and shows guiding ethics) it is journalism, pure and simple.

		Posted - 17 May 2005 : 12:16:28 PM For me, Australian Story programs are more about the journey rather than studying the rights & wrongs of a situation.
		Australian Story didn't go into any accident analysis (it's not exactly an "Aircrash Investigation" type show) - however there were two sessions at OZTeK in March by Dr Simon Mitchell that reviewed the accident and probable contributing factors in specific detail.

		Japanese Story elicits audience identification with Sandy; we are invited to join her emotional journey and to experience our own ‘Japanese story.’ However, the fact that this journey is predicated on an affective relationship with 2 stereotypes seriously undercuts this cause.
		The scene is yet another example of the Australian cinema’s feminisation of the Asian man, so painfully obvious that I began to wonder whether I was missing some more complex form of gender play.
		Kwan is one of the most pernicious portrayals of an Asian character in Australian cinema, particularly in the use of a white woman to represent an Asian man. Naturally, after teaching Hamilton some lessons about commitment, an ‘aberration’ such as Billy must be killed off, before Hamilton returns home to a white(r) Australia.

		While both within Australia and among the Allied Forces of the First World War the Australian “diggers” won total recognition for their courage and endurance at Gallipoli and other battle scenarios, the contribution of the Australian 9th Division at El Alamein has remained, for the most part, unrecognised, both at home and abroad.
		Indeed, one of Johnston and Stanley’s objectives in Alamein: The Australian Story is to rectify those misconceptions which have arisen around the El Alemain campaign as well as to write the Australian contribution to it back into the master narrative of Second World War military history and the Australian collective memory.
		The authors commence the story of El Alamein early in 1942 when the 9th Division, the only Australian troops left in the Middle East, were based in Syria to re-equip having withdrawn from Tobruk.
