MEAA has today written to the Speaker of Tasmania’s House of Assembly condemning her new media guidelines. MEAA wrote:
Dear Madam Speaker,
I write to express the great concern of the Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance (MEAA), the professional association for Australia’s journalists, over the new guidelines for journalists working at Tasmania’s Parliament issued by you.
Equity is dismayed at a decision by the producers of the upcoming musical Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to cast an overseas performer in the lead role of Willy Wonka.
MEAA members were out on the streets of Bondi and Paddington on Saturday to raise the profile of the future of the ABC as a key issue in the October 20 Wentworth by-election.
MEAA’s ABC House Committee demands greater transparency and accountability from the ABC board in light of a damaging week for the national broadcaster.
