Australian dance Steps

Australian dance

Dance is a very dynamic part of Australian performing arts culture. It can provide a rich performance experience, merging the imagination and skill of choreographers, dancers, designers, composers and musicians.

Classical and contemporary dance performances are enjoyed across Australia. An array of independent, company and project dance initiatives can:

... give audiences anything from unadorned movement process to high-end technology and real-time linkups across the globe, from glossy, fluid dance to hip hop, from fusions of Aboriginal and new forms to dance on film.
Baxter, V and Gallasch, K, In repertoire: A guide to Australian contemporary dance, Australia Council, p 31

Major arts festivals provide the chance for international and Australian dance companies to entertain, challenge and delight new audiences. In turn, Australian dance ventures such as Chunky Move, Buzz Dance Theatre and Australian Dance Theatre are bringing their work to the world through international tours.

A brief history of dance in Australia
Australian dance draws on many influences including the traditions and history of dance as an art form, as well as the different cultures and trends in society.

A strong Indigenous tradition
Dance is an important part of Indigenous Australians' cultural traditions. It is reflected and reinterpreted in the work and creativity of various Aboriginal and Islander dance companies which formed from the early 1960s onward.

Dance is increasing the prominence of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as it is transferred from communities to public theatres and transformed from ceremony to spectacle.

European influences
Different forms of dance came to Australia with the first European settlers. Dancers visited colonial Australia from other countries, and danced as part of pantomime, opera and other theatre performances.

Ballet and other forms of theatre became very popular during the Australian gold rushes. The appeal of Romantic Ballet in particular brought many European and American dancers to perform in Australia.

Russian ballet was also very influential. Anna Pavlova's Australian tours in 1926 and 1929, and tours by the Ballet Russes in the 1930s attracted a lot of interest and stimulated the development of Australia's own ballet culture.

Developing Australian dance
A number of professional Australian ballet companies were founded during the 1940s and 1950s. These included the Kirsova Ballet, The Borovansky Ballet, Laurel Martyn's Ballet Guild, The West Australian Ballet and the short-lived Australian Theatre Ballet.

The Australian Ballet School was established in 1964 and a range of contemporary dance companies flourished over the next three decades, including Expressions, Bangarra Dance Theatre and The Aboriginal Islander Dance Theatre

Innocence of Muslims

Innocence of Muslims: a dark demonstration of the power of film

Nakoula Basseley Nakoula's movie is a bigoted piece of poison calculated to inflame the Muslim world. It ought to be treated with the contempt it deserves

Critics like to talk about the "films of the year", but the awful truth is that this year's most significant movie may well turn out to be a non-movie, a hoax movie, a bigoted piece of poison calculated to inflame the Muslim world. Innocence of Muslims is a 13-minute low-budget video on YouTube, abysmally scripted, acted and directed; it might be risible were it not for the ugly Islamophobia which it promotes and whose effects are now being seen around the world.

It was apparently made by an Egyptian-American based in the greater Los Angeles area, one Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, reportedly a Coptic Christian, who initially claimed to be an Israeli property magnate called Sam Bacile, using funds from "Jewish donors". How Nakoula actually bankrolled this film is not clear. He says his wife's family contributed the money; he himself is a convicted fraudster.

This video is routinely described as a "trailer" and some screenings – of something – do appear to have taken place at one rented Californian cinema, but there is no proof that audiences ever saw anything substantially longer than this, nor that there is anything resembling a "film" of which this is a "trailer". Yet the damage is done. People throughout the Muslim world are being persuaded that there is a proper feature-length entertainment, backed by Jewish donors and being watched by Americans in their movie theatres.

The video appears first to show Christians being attacked and a medical clinic trashed by a Muslim mob in Egypt while the police stand idly by. Here is where – for what it's worth – the bulk of Nakoula's budget appears to have been spent. Then we cut to a crass supposed retelling of the life of the prophet Muhammad. Hammy and preposterous acting is the order of the day, along with crude green-screen staging. People in robes exchange wooden dialogue and gurning threats against backprojected deserts. There is plenty of suspicious cutting and dubbing; crudely Islamophobic lines don't lip-synch with what the actors are mouthing – stuff like: "Muhammad is our messenger and the Koran is our constitution!" It is quite possible that the actors had no idea what they were doing.

But the really sinister thing is that all this ham-fistedness and crassness is an important sense deliberate. It has to look like propaganda for the provocation to be effective.

Innocence of Muslims might prove, in the most nauseatingly ironic way, that cinema still can make a difference. Actually, what it proves is that the movies are still associated with an idea – the idea of America's global power and prestige. If you can produce something hinting at a film proving that this power is being put to Islamophobic uses, you can get an extreme reaction. Heaven knows there are plenty of gung-ho Hollywood movies with Arab villains – respectably produced and distributed – all feeding the disenchantment.

Also, of course, it proves the global reach of the internet. Explosive material can be easily disseminated. Perhaps the most comparable example is Kony2012, the powerful viral video calling for the arrest of Ugandan cult leader Joseph Kony which in March this year exploded uncontrollably in popularity and resulted in its director suffering a temporary emotional breakdown. Innocence of Muslims, a thoroughly nasty piece of work, has caused something worse than this, and was intended to. But like Kony2012, it was almost certainly timed for the American election, in this case to incite Muslim communities and then provoke macho responses from the presidential candidates.

There is naturally a great deal of ultra-dodgy stuff out there on the web, with no gatekeepers to enforce levels of technical competence or ideological good taste. All sorts of murky videos can be accessed. Throughout both east and west, a whole generation is disenchanted with conventional media and looks to the web, with its plethora of user-generated content, for explanations. There are weird conspiracy-theorist movies on the web by "truthers", promoting the idea that the American government faked 9/11 as a pretext to wage war for Middle Eastern oil. Well, crackpot as these theories undoubtedly are, our British and American governments brought them on themselves with their mendacious claims about WMD.

This is what has brought Innocence of Muslims into being. Even discussing it in these terms plays into its authors' hands. Here's hoping Muslim communities can be persuaded to treat it with the contempt it deserves and that the US president and his challenger can keep their nerve.

Australian Post

Australian Postcodes Tracking

There is a significant level of interest in postcodes as a convenient reference to locations because of perceived ease of linking them to information about individuals and businesses alike. Over the years postcodes have been put to a wide range of uses in analysing and publishing social trends and population statistics as well as in defining sales, service, franchise or dealership areas. Unfortunately, a misunderstanding of what postcode really is, resulting from a widely held belief about its value as a uniform referencing system, can cause many troubles for the unwary users. This article is a guide for all potential users of postcode boundary data.

Postcode Basics

Firstly, some facts about postcodes, from Australia Post site:

• Postcodes were introduced in 1967 to facilitate the efficient processing and delivery of mail to customers.
• Postcodes are only allocated to localities officially gazetted by State land agencies (usually, a postcode covers an area comprising of more than one locality).
• The decision as to whether a new postcode or an existing postcode is to be allocated to a locality is based on operational efficiency.

Because the adoption of new or changed postcodes by customers is slow, changes are only made where significant reasons for change are established. A postcode change will only be considered if such a change leads to either enhanced service to Australia Post customers or operational efficiency to the organisation. Any such change will involve consultation with the local council/shire and residents.

Common Problems with Postcodes

1. Changing Postcodes
Postcodes are changing over time due to evolving operational requirements of Australia Post. Changes include additions of new postcode numbers and deletions of old ones from the list as well as adjustments to composition of postcodes by adding or removing localities. This is especially the case with new, dynamically growing areas as well as some rural locations and is less of the issue for established metropolitan areas.

It means that postcodes are not a stable spatial reference. It is ok to use them as a snapshot of a particular point in time, but what often happens is that the attribution to “what area constituted that postcode X years ago” is lost from the supporting documentation and important facts can be misinterpreted by future users of the information.

This is a real problem for researchers of social trends - those who insist on using postcodes as the main location reference. As well, it may cause some legal headaches if postcodes are referenced in contracts for supply of services or franchise areas, etc. Postcodes were never meant to be used in this fashion!

2. Changing definitions of localities
On top of changes that are undertaken from time to time by Australia Post, there are also changes to boundaries defining localities which are implemented by State and local authorities. What was locality X in 2007 may now be split into locality X and Y. As the result, it is very difficult to maintain timely and consistent reference of postcode numbers to “what is actually on the ground”.

3. Imperfect procedures of referencing postcodes to localities
Where possible, Australia Post references postcodes to officially gazetted localities but localities are determined by State land agencies and boundaries are recommended by local councils. This process is not coordinated from end to end and sometimes it gets out of sync. Take for example postcode 3478 in Victoria. Australia Post lists Medlyn as a locality included in this postcode (June 2010 edition) yet this locality is not on Victoria’s register of gazetted locations. Referencing postcode numbers to localities is not a science and there can be inconsistencies.


Recommendations

If you must use postcodes, please consider the limitations outlined earlier as well as the following recommendations to avoid potential problems:

• If you intend to match postcodes to official ABS statistics:

Your only choice is ABS version of postcodes as it will ensure consistency of definitions (that is, postcode X in the data table will correspond to postcode X depicted as an outline on the map). It is particularly relevant for Census of Population and Housing data.
If you need to combine those statistics with your own data (eg. client records), geocode individual addresses and then reference them to specific postcode boundaries (eg. using GIS software with “intersect” function capabilities) rather than just rely on postcode component of the address to match the records to boundaries. It is the only way to ensure a particular address/location is part of that specific postcode area.

• If you intend to use postcode outlines to define custom areas:

Again, ABS version of postcodes is the most cost effective option as it is a free dataset.
Define your custom areas once and put effort in maintenance of that dataset over time. You can adjust a composition of custom areas if required (eg. add/ subtract postcodes or even adjust boundaries – but only if topological consistency can be maintained - that is, if changes to the boundary of one polygon can be reflected in the adjoining polygons).
It is important to acknowledge that this dataset becomes de facto your own version and that compatibility with “source” postcodes and/ or statistics published on postal area basis may be lost over time.
Always reference version of postcodes used in any legal documents to avoid future ambiguity as to what constituted “that” postcode at “this” particular point in time.
As in the previous case, if you need to reference those postcode outlines to your own data, run geocoding and then reference individual records to specific boundaries and do not rely on postcode details in the address record alone to match data with boundaries.

Australia Immigration News

Australia Immigration News Latest

Processing of Priority Group 5 General Skilled Migration Applications

Most General Skilled Migration (GSM) visa applications are subject to a Ministerial Direction which determines the priority in which they are considered. An application is allocated to a case officer for processing based on its priority according to the Direction.
Each week GSM allocates applications in line with the Direction until there are sufficient applications allocated in each of the visa categories to meet the planning levels set by government for the 2012-13 Migration Program.
See: Migration Program Statistics

The overall number of Priority Group 5 applications processed in the 2012-13 program year will ultimately depend on the number of higher priority applications received, and other factors, including the size of the Migration Program and its composition, and any variation of the Processing Direction.

Allocation of Priority Group 5 applications

The allocation of Priority Group 5 applications is expected to continue in general date of lodgement order throughout the 2012-13 Migration Program. Priority Group 5 applications are allocated when all available applications in higher priority groups are allocated.

Subclasses 487, 885 and 886
Allocation of Priority Group 5 applications commenced in November 2011 for subclasses 487, 885 and 886.

Subclasses 175, 176, 475 and 496
Allocation of Priority Group 5 applications will commence on 10 September 2012 for subclasses 175, 176, 475 and 496.

Due to the number of places available for Family Sponsored Skilled Migration applicants this program year (currently 4200), GSM will limit the allocation of applications in this visa category.

This also includes Priority Group 5 applications where a state or territory approved nomination has either not been provided or has not been accepted by the department, as such applications are classified within the Family Sponsored Skilled Migration group until a nomination is received from a state or territory government agency and approved by the department.

Many Priority Group 5 applicants still face a considerable wait until their application is allocated to a case officer for processing and may want to consider other options available.
Applicants can follow the progress of allocating GSM visa applications through the website.

Australia to Fast-Track Citizenship for Families of Defence Recruits

Australia is attracting more overseas military services personnel to highly specialised roles by making it easier for their families to get citizenship, according to a joint media release by Minister for Immigration and Citizenship Chris Bowen MP and Minister for Defence Science and Personnel Warren Snowdon MP on September 11, 2012.



The two Ministers stated in the release that family members of overseas lateral recruits to the Australian Defence Force (ADF) were eligible for conferral of Australian citizenship at the same time as the lateral recruit. The amendments to the Australian Citizenship Act 2007 that allow applicants to be fast tracked for citizenship will be applied to family members of current and future lateral recruits.


To be eligible, the overseas lateral recruit must be granted a certain Australian visa after 1 July 2007 and undertake 90 days service in either the permanent or reserve forces of the Army, Navy or Air Force.

The amendments also clarify that defence service refers only to appointed and enlisted personnel in the Australian Defence Force.

"These amendments will assist Australia to attract personnel to highly specialised roles within the ADF as they will provide tangible benefits to lateral recruits' migrating families," said Mr Snowdon.

The amendments will be effective from January 1, 2013.

australia antigen

australia antigen

An antigen is a substance that invokes an immune response in the body. The word is a contraction of the term "antibody-generator," meaning that its presence causes the immune system to create antibodies to respond to a perceived attack or infection. The Australia antigen is a marker of hepatitis, which is a viral inflammation of the liver. The discovery and analysis of the antigen played a crucial part in efforts to fight the disease.

Hepatitis, which comes in many forms, is an dangerous infection of the liver known to cause epidemics that may infect a large number of people. Though scientists had been tracking the disease since the 19th century, means of discovering the infection were still quite primitive. It was postulated that many patients contracted hepatitis through blood transfusions from those already infected, but the means of identifying the virus hadn't yet been discovered. In the early 1960s, Dr. Baruch Samuel Blumberg, working in concert with Dr. Harvey Alter, first identified the Australia antigen after noting an unusual reaction when the blood from an Aboriginal Australian was added to serum from hemophiliac and leukemic patients.


Though the discovery of the Australia antigen, also known as Aa or HBsAg, was significant, it did not yet link the antigen to hepatitis. Blumberg later made the link between the presence of the antigen and the disease when he retested a child with Down's syndrome who had originally tested negative for the Aa. Months after the initial negative test, the child suddenly tested positive for the Australia antigen, along with developing the symptoms of hepatitis. The connection was later confirmed by repeat instances of the antigen appearing alongside hepatitis, including in one of Blumberg's lab technicians. Eventually, Blumberg's link between the antigen and hepatitis infection demolished the idea that the presence of the antigen was a genetic inheritance,

Discovering the link between the Australia antigen and hepatitis allowed for the development of a reliable blood-screening test that could check for hepatitis. This became extremely important to the prevention of hepatitis epidemics, as donated blood could now be easily checked for signs of the virus. In many regions, the testing of all donated blood for the Australia antigen became required by law. In addition, the antigen became an important factor in the creation of a hepatitis B vaccine, which uses a heavily filtered version of the antigen to create antibodies in the immune system that will protect against infection.
