DAVID MARR: Well, it worked in a kind of brutal way, but you don't need to pluck people out of the sea, put them on to naval vessels, take them thousands of kilometres to armed camps in foreign countries and assess them there.
David Marr, during the children overboard crisis and again now, in the Iraqi crisis, if you like, the intelligence report from the ONA have been used by the PM to bolster his public statements.
DAVID MARR: He's now downplaying it so much as admitting the truth, denied at the time, that he had no independent intelligence source to bolster his argument that kids had been thrown overboard.

 David Marr
David Courtnay Marr was born on January 19, 1945 in Essex, England.
Marr's theory was formulated in rigorous terms, yet was sufficiently concrete to be examined in view of the then available anatomical and physiological data.
Marr and Poggio, 1977], were provided by an observation that subsequently grew into a central legacy of Marr's career: the understanding of any information processing system is incomplete without insight into the problems it faces, and without a notion of the form that possible solutions to these problems can take.

 TRACEY - thinking - Riley
Marr (1982 : 36) proposed that since this is "almost certainly impossible in only one step", we require "a sequence of representations", starting with descriptions that may be accessed from the retinal images and that act as prompts to subsequent representations of the objective world.
Marr and Poggio utilise the Gestalt principle of continuity based upon the cohesiveness of matter to formulate rule 2: Only a small fraction of the area of a retinal image is composed of boundaries that are discontinuous in depth.
Marr's theory proposes three levels at which perception needs to be explained; the ecological, and the physiological, with a level of mediation in between, an algorithmic level, in Marr's term, which organises the ecologically-conditioned information arriving at the eyes in a way suitable for representation by the physiological system.

Marr was editor of the ABC TV program Four Corners (1985, 1990-1991), a role in which he won a Walkley Award and the presenter of Radio National's Arts Today program (1994-1996).
In 2002, Marr demonstrated on Media Watch that conservative newspaper columnist Janet Albrechtsen had misquoted a French psychiatrist, Jean-Jacques Rassial, and claimed that she had done this deliberately to make it look as though violence and gang rape were institutionalised elements of the culture of Muslim youths.
When the Minister for Communications, Senator Helen Coonan, appointed Albrechtsen to the board of the ABC in February 2005, Marr publicly questioned whether she was qualified for such a position in light of her prior breach of journalistic conduct.

 marr
This exposure of one David Marr, who resides in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, has been a harrowing one for many veterans who worked on this case; especially so for the spouse of one genuine veteran in particular.
The image Marr presented was promoted and supported to the extent where he was totally accepted and involved with Army unit associations during the 1970's; hot on the heels of Australia's closure to the war, when many veterans felt betrayed by their country and the vast majority of returned service personnel kept a low profile.
This is but one small chapter in David Marr's life as a "wannabe." He has conned and stolen the innocence of many veterans, inflicting trauma and distrust to such an extent that one needed long-term counselling to prevent suicide, although it was attempted unsuccessfully.

 theage.com.au - New watchdog bares his teeth
Marr eventually accepted, although he now says reports of a wrangle between him and the ABC over the position were greatly exaggerated, partly due to him taking a holiday in the middle of negotiations.
Marr was for many years a member of the group Watch on Censorship, and argues that the media now faces an unprecedented battle to extract the facts.
Marr says that while he does not welcome legal action, one of the great strengths of the ABC is that is does not run scared of defamation.

 Chris Berg » David Marr’s Quarterly Essay
Marr convincingly argues that the current laws governing whistleblowers and journalists may be too far in one direction, but he again avoids discussing the much larger, more complicated, issue.
David Peetz’s condemnation by the Minister for Workplace Relations speaks to a propensity by governments to play the man and not the ball, but it is a long step between that and the corruption of public debate.
Marr indulges in clichés and caricatures – accusing Australians of being subservient and docile, caricaturing John Howard as some sort of dissent-crushing monster, and unimaginatively bemoaning the perceived decline of public debate and academic freedom.

 The Work of David Marr
One of the areas Marr made advances in was Vision, and applied his findings to the workings of the mind as he found them.

Marr's chief insight was in his account of the different levels of analysis and explanation which could be applied to any process (including the mind).

 Club Troppo » The world according to David Marr   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Marr tried to argue that the fact that Today exceeds the 16 minute limit so frequently between 8 and 9am somehow proves that this is a planned rather than unscheduled outcome.
Marr didn’t claim that Today failed to comply with the 16 minute per hour limit over its entire 3 hour duration, in fact he was conspicuously silent on that point, and you can guarantee he would have said something if they’d exceeded the limit in that global sense.
David Marr is quite entertaining to watch, as long as you don’t take anything he says at face value.

 McClamrock: Marr's Three Levels
David Marr (1982) has dubbed the three levels the computational, the algorithmic, and the implementational; Zenon Pylyshyn (1984) calls them the semantic, the syntactic, and the physical; and textbooks in cognitive psychology sometimes call them the levels of content, form, and medium (e.g.
And as for Marr, the distinction of levels is seen as having some of its standard roles -- e.g.
Both Marr's computational-to-algorithmic transition and Pylyshyn's semantic-to-symbolic one run together two distinct sorts of changes: One kind of change is a further decomposition and lessening of the degree of abstraction of the activities, where components in the higher-level explanation are further decomposed.

As Media Watch wraps its 15th year and David Marr signs off after three years in the hot seat, Green Guide asked the outgoing host and the ongoing executive producer, Peter McEvoy, about the show's role, its accomplishments - and the need to be funny.
Marr: This is a show in which the presenter sits in a chair, looks down the camera and denounces people.
You've no idea what pedants and narks and sharp-eyes and funny people there are out there, people who are passionately engaged with the quality of their media, who see it as crucial to the life that they live in this country that they have a good media.

 Asia Times - Asia's most trusted news source
In writing Dark Victory, the authors, two Australian journalists, David Marr and Marian Wilkinson, do not claim to retrace the steps that brought the refugees from their distant and war-torn homeland, Afghanistan, to an almost certain watery grave in the Java Sea had the Tampa not come to their rescue.
According to its current international definition, a refugee is a person who had to flee his or her country due to a well-founded fear of persecution for political or ethnic reasons.
While Marr and Wilkinson cannot be faulted for having skimped on their research, and some of their chapters are detailed to the point of microscopy, theirs would have been a far more credible work had there not been even a distant inkling that they might not have been totally partial.
