Milne, a former senior executive at Telstra and at Microsoft in Australia, is known for having a healthy competitive streak. Despite his extensive commitments on the director circuit, he is an active oarsman, and up until recently was president of the Leichhardt Rowing Club. He began his career as a filmmaker, but would later switch to the corporate world, rising to senior executive positions at dot com era start-up OzEmail - where one Malcolm Turnbull was his chairman; and Telstra, where he ran the Bigpond internet business, and later, its media operations. Milne left Telstra in 2010, shortly after David Thodey was appointed chief executive. His profile in the corporate world subsequently dropped. Milne took on board positions at Tabcorp, and a string of smaller technology and media companies including Quickflix and Pie Networks, both of which are no longer listed. It was Turnbull, in 2013, who gave Milne his chance to re-emerge in the upper echelons of corporate Australia. The-then communications minister appointed his former underling, and close friend, as a director of NBN Co and later the ABC.

Statement from Justin Milne: “The job of the ABC Board is to independently govern the Corporation, protect its best interests, ensure that it is well funded, well managed and that our content is of the highest standards. That is precisely what the Board has done and will continue to do. I do not propose to provide a running commentary on day to day issues which arise in pursuit of our duties.”

Milne is like a SelecTV and OneTel board position away from a Royal Flush of failed Communications firms over the last 25 years.

12m ago 14:11 Gosh, I missed this earlier. Andrew Bolthas also called for Milne to resign. The famous alliance between Australia’s rightwing cause célèbre, the Labor partyand the journalists’ union holds strong. Erhm.

Bolt is just setting himself up for some free kicks down the road as the rational man who won't tolerate the ABC's political influence and must now close.

I'm extremely mad that the MEAA is good at protecting journalists but not good at protecting the advertising crew who help sell ads into their websites or papers. Refuses, even. They seem like a pretty tough union but watching Together, NUW and United Voice fight over the advertising/marketing/call centre/switchboard staff is killer. Basically 3 unions fighting over the 12 or so people interested in organising.

NUW and UV won't be an issue soon. MEAA doesn't have coverage of media sales people under its constitution unless they work in PR creating content. e: also the NUW only covers market and social research, but they also go into some other areas since no one will organise them properly and the ASU basically ignored telemarketers for as long as telemarketers were a thing.

Entirely different circumstances but it's pretty amusing that the Libs have managed to remove the heads of 2 government agencies they themselves installed. In both situations they soured the relationship to the point Guthrie and Quahwhatever just immediately started leaking internal communications making this rabble of a government look even worse.

Ah Justin. I vaguely remember his speech to OzEmail staff when he was announcing yet another round of layoffs. Maybe the death of SENet ? It was an extended yachting metaphor involving that when you were sailing for glory, not all of the crew were required once the tacking was complete, the sails were trimmed and you were in a race to the finish line. Just what a bunch of call centre workers on 35k /year could relate to. He quit shortly after and went to Bigpond. In my memory I blame him for This masterpiece of sacking but when I dig through his history he must have already, ahem, jumped ship. In any case, nice little suprise today to see him up poo poo creek for a change.

At the same time, Labor’s shadow communications minister, Michelle Rowland, has confirmed Labor will move to establish a Senate inquiry into political interference at the ABC. The Greens will support it too. Because it’s voted on within committee and doesn’t need a full Senate vote, it means it has the numbers.Anidav posted:MEAA should cover the whole media org but they opt to be an old boys club for journalists to avoid job cuts instead while everything else gets outsourced. The MEAA recently expanded to include Online Community and Social Media professionals, which was negotiated by the boss of the last company I worked for, and announced at a conference in August.

He'll yeah https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/cancer-eating-the-heart-of-australian-democracy-20180826-p4zzum.html quote:But on top of all the above, while manipulating each of them, has been Rupert Murdoch - the greatest cancer on the Australian democracy. quote:An incoming Labor government should consider a full royal commission into the future of Australian media ownership, with particular reference to News Corp. It should also consider the proposed Nine takeover of Fairfax Media, as well as the future role of the new media. The terms of reference should also include Murdoch's role in the destruction of the $43 billion NBN. And it should make recommendations for the future.

Anidav posted:MEAA should cover the whole media org but they opt to be an old boys club for journalists to avoid job cuts instead while everything else gets outsourced. They don't opt to be that at all. The entire media section drive right now is to cover freelance journalists in new media (freelance pro). Their agreements are explicit about coverage as is the union's constitution. They're the union for journalists, not the union for media/advertising salespeople. They're also too small to tell the ASU/CPSU to get hosed in most cases and won;t enter their coverage. The NUW/UV on the other hand couldn't give a gently caress about coverage because they wield massive power as institutions. E: MEAA media coverage solely comes from the AJA's rules during amalgamation with the carny union and equity. JBP fucked around with this message at 07:21 on Sep 26, 2018 |

I just find it confusing trying to get a club together and one guy is over there and another guy is there and no one wants to switch because they are lazy so you end up with scattered memberships and no action. Ahem has outsourced art dept and pagination to India and no one is complaining, subscription sales used to be full time and is now casual and ahem is axing anyone who wants full time back and I'm the only one thinking about the slow creep of bullshit towards where I sit. Hoping I can find higher up position or stay long enough for it to be a resume polisher.
