21. The Fight For Australian Culture (a Summary)
    australian culture begins with a general background of Chaucer, Shakespeare,Herrick, Byron, Charles Dickens; We inherit all that Britain has inherited,  
    http://members.ozemail.com.au/~natinfo/ozcul2.htm
    
    Extractions: Culture Is Politics Culture would not normally be viewed as a matter for "fighting" - surely it is more a matter of "creating"? However, in the Australian context, this is not the case. Nationalists are fighting for a "new people", the Australian People, of which both "Old" and "New" Australians are each clusters. Every people is naturally compelled to express its own individuality; in order to break free of old cultural moulds; if it does not, then it remains in a state of psychological dependence on other cultures - and therefore fails to realise its own potential. As well as this, a cultureless people leaves itself open for domination in other respects, not only culturally, but also politically, economically, and demographically. In modern Australia, where a Traitor Class of internationalists and cosmopolitans dominate the political, academic, and media "elite", and have imposed the anti-national ideology of Multiculturalism upon the citizens, the country is being turned into a cultureless nation; being left open for the national and ethnic death of its people via the policy of Asianisation.

    http://members.ozemail.com.au/~natinfo/american.htm
    
    Extractions: Americanisation is the effect upon a local culture by the long-term and large-scale importation of elements of a crass consumerist culture founded in the USA. It is a commercial culture of Coca-Cola and Pepsi, Hungry Jacks and McDonalds. It is a television culture of Jerry Springer and Oprah Winfrey, The Simpsons and Mickey Mouse, and "reality shows" (such as Survivor and Big Brother). The Americanisation of Australia's culture is a sad and terrible thing. It is a process whereby ordinary Australians are bombarded every day with images of American lifestyle, so much that it merges almost unnoticed into their own lifestyle. It is a process whereby our home-grown entertainment industry is overwhelmed by the enormous powerhouse of the American economy, with drastic effects upon the modern Australian nation. As the USA has a population base of over 290 million, along with a successful economy, it has meant that the American population has a large amount of money that is surplus to basic requirements, and that therefore may be devoted to the luxuries of leisure and entertainment, hence the development of such a huge entertainment industry. Due to economies of scale, it is proportionately cheaper - and more profitable - for the American entertainment industry to produce movies, television shows, etc., than it is for the local entertainment industry to produce the same in Australia. Once American entertainment businesses have made their money on a TV series, any sales of those productions to overseas markets (such as Australia) is pure profit. Therefore, American businesses can afford to sell TV shows to the Australian TV networks for below-cost prices (a practice called "product-dumping"), effectively undercutting the sale of local TV productions - hence, fewer local productions are made, and fewer Australian shows are seen on TV.

    Extractions: The ASU works closely with the cultural sector, developing training packages for our members working in local government libraries, museums, and art galleries, including members working as community arts officers. Through this contact we are being asked to assist our colleagues involved in cultural work in their campaign around the USA-Australia Free Trade Agreement (FTA). Their campaign is also ours. The Australian Writers' Guild has prepared an article "Culture all carved up?" that the ASU believes contains information all those concerned about the FTA and GATS should be aware of. We encourage you to read the article (part of which is reproduced below, along with a link to the full item) so you can be aware of what is at stake. The article asks for action and we ask you to consider participating in the campaign to ensure our politicians know how we feel about the serious implications of the FTA.

    Extractions: This page explores a varity of topics of general interest: A volcano 50 kilometers wide!? Visitors to northern New South Wales will see the volcano's core as Mt. Warning. The crater is now known as 'The Scenic Rim', clearly visible surrounding Mt Warning. The Rim is perhaps 50 kilometers in diameter (a big volcano by any standards). Mt Warning was so named by Captain James Cook the legendary English navigator who charted the east coast of Australia in the 18th century, thus helping to assure Britain's claim over the continent. Terra Australis (Southern Land), as it was then named had been visited by explorers from France, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and Russia around the time Cook made his voyage, though the harshness of much of the continent probably was responsible for those countries not making permanent settlements. Australia very nearly became a French colony A Frenchman, Jean-Francois La Perouse came very close indeed to claiming Terra Australis for France. In 1788, he sailed into Botany Bay (just to the south of Sydney Harbour) only to find the British had arrived barely hours (by some accounts) or days earlier, and had set up camp. A tense confrontation ensued, and the outcome is history.
