The Fight
for
Australian Culture
(a summary)

This document is a summary of a larger document of the same title
(inclusive of some alterations and updating of the original)
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.
In this respect, "culture" is a matter, not only for fighting words, but for fighting deeds.

The
Americanisation
of Australian
Culture
Andrew Patterson

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.

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.

  • A volcano 50 kilometers wide!?
  • Australia very nearly became a French colony
  • 20 years hard-labour for stealing a loaf of bread
  • Where does the Australian accent come from?
  • Are Australians culturally inferior?
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.

Introduction
Good Morning.
Over the years we have heard about many different workplace cultures.
We are told we need to develop a culture of excellence.
We are told we need to develop a culture which is family friendly. And we are told to develop flexible and responsive culture that is able to adapt to, and manage, change. All of these cultures are valuable in their own right. They have contributed to a better and more diverse workplace. And they have contributed to a public sector that is more productive and more effective. The creation of the right workplace culture is not just some abstract management theory that is totally unrelated to the ?real work? of the day. Workplace cultures foster the right attitudes, practices and processes.

    A project by ACS members to help the community to document Australian culture on the World Wide Web, and as a supplement to the Government's "Australia on CD" project. In the 1995 Australia Day Message the Governor-General asked all Australians to consider the social equity issues of the InfoBahn (a copy of the speech was distributed on the Internet by the ACS, with the permission of Government House). These issues were detailed in the ACS's submission to the Government on the InfoBahn: " Vision for a Networked Nation While the people of other nations wait for their Government to lead, Australians get on and do it themselves. In this spirit fits well with the organised anarchy of the Internet. To harness this spirit Australia This Minute (ATM) is a project for a community based on-line Internet multimedia guide to Australian culture.
