Save Writing NSW

An open letter to Create NSW and the NSW Minister for the Arts

We, as writers and active members of the literary community, were dismayed by Create NSW’s decision not to grant Writing NSW Multi-Year Organisations Funding in their latest round, despite the fact that Writing NSW was recommended for funding.

This decision demonstrates the ongoing devaluation of literature within the Australian arts funding landscape. We know literature is the most popular artform in the country, with 87% of Australian reading some form of literary work in any given year, yet in this round Create NSW offered only 5.7% of their ongoing funding to literature organisations.

The decision to defund Writing NSW carries a particular sting. Writing NSW is the leading organisation representing writers in a state with a long literary history and one that is home to many of Australia’s leading publishers, writers, literary agents and other core participants in the Australian literary industry.

Writing NSW is an important stepping-stone for writers at the beginning of their careers, providing high quality professional development programs, and it also employs emerging and established writers to deliver and lead these programs. For decades the organisation has provided high-quality courses, seminars, workshops, festivals, events, grants and literary prizes. In putting such programs at risk, Create NSW is jeopardising both an entry point and an ongoing support system for writers.

Macquarie University research shows that the average income of an Australian author from their practice is $12,900. The current economic crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic makes the situation of writers even more precarious. Writing NSW offers key employment opportunities to writers, through teaching, publication, speaking engagements and both curatorial and judging positions. The removal of these opportunities will mean many writers will not be able to maintain the other income streams that support their writing careers.

The removal of $175,000 from a single source would be catastrophic for any business – not-for-profit or otherwise. For a government funding body to enact such a blunt economic withdrawal in the midst of a global pandemic and without concern for the economic flow-on effect to hundreds of industry professionals is deeply distressing.

We call on Create NSW to reverse this decision and ask them to reveal their future strategies for arts funding and how they plan to rectify the disparity in funding between other funded artforms and literature.

As writers, we will never accept the loss of a vibrant, essential cultural network such as Writing NSW.

What you can do We invite anyone affected by Create NSW’s decision – writers, publishers, literary agents, illustrators, readers alike – to co-sign this letter. You can copy and customise this letter to draft a version from your own point of view on this matter to send to a Member of Parliament.

wanted connections added under the cut!!

[JOSEPH O'SULLIVAN || JEFFREY DEAN MORGAN] is awaiting the arrival of their [BEST FRIEND]. If you happen to see them, they are around [THIRTY-EIGHT] years old and look strikingly similar to [ANDREW LINCOLN, NORMAN REEDUS, TOM HIDDLESTON, CHRIS HEMSWORTH, CHRIS EVANS, UTP] and happen to be from [SUPERNATURAL]. If you see them, you [DO NOT] have to contact them. We hope they find them soon. [this is joey’s best friend, name utp. They met when the other rescued Joey from a demon and since then, they have not left each other’s sides. He was there to support Joey after the deaths of his children and wife and… he’s pretty much the last person that Joey has. He can be a demon/witch/vampire - whatever you prefer but after Joey figured out what the other was, he left, leaving Joey behind - breaking his heart once more, because the other was like a brother to him. The rest we can figure out after, tbh.].

[JOSEPH O'SULLIVAN || JEFFREY DEAN MORGAN] is awaiting the arrival of their [MOTHER]. If you happen to see them, they are around [FORTY] years old and look strikingly similar to [UTP] and happen to be from [SUPERNATURAL]. If you see them, you [ DO NOT] have to contact them. We hope they find them soon. [ (tw:abuse) so this is joey’s mother - dev’s first partner. joey has no good memories at all of his mother, as she tried him horribly and the only comfort he had in the world was his father - devaughn. Eventually, she went too far which lead Dev to leave and take his son with him. If they saw each other again… well, Joey’s reaction would be interesting but.. not a good one, to be honest.].

[JOSEPH O'SULLIVAN || JEFFREY DEAN MORGAN] is awaiting the arrival of their [ALMOST LOVER]. If you happen to see them, they are around [THIRTY-NINE/THIRY-EIGHT] years old and look strikingly similar to [MIRANDA KERR, JENNIFER MORRISON, REBECCA MADER, LANA PARILLA, JOSH DALLAS, TOM HIDDLESTON, CHRIS HEMSWORTH, SEBASTIAN STAN, UTP] and happen to be from [SUPERNATURAL]. If you see them, you [DO NOT] have to contact them. We hope they find them soon. [so this was someone joey met after everything that happened and suddenly.. they were pretty close. he had feelings for them, obviously but he had never told them anything about himself or his family, so he was pretty scared to let them in or even start a relationship with them, especially after his wife, isabelle died. that may or may have not pushed them away from joey, it’s utp to decide.].

Carleton Law and Legal Studies - Criminal Law Student Blogs - 2018 Compilation

As a class assignment, beginner students in RobsonCrim co-editor Rebecca Jaremko Bromwich's undergraduate Criminal Law course at Carleton's Department of Law and Legal Studies authored blog posts on issues relating to law and legal studies. What follows is a compilation of some excerpts from interesting contributions made by these second year undergraduate students. The editors certainly hope these promising students carry on thinking critically about the criminal law as they pursue further study!

from The Legal Ramifications of the Ability of AI to Premeditate Crime - Adam Daudi

"One new issue the law faces is the existence of Artificial Intelligence. These entities rule our day-to-day lives. The use of multifaceted algorithms to analyse and interpret ever changing situations to create pinpoint results is no longer an arithmetic crusade, but an everyday constant we take for granted. It becomes an ethnographic mission to attempt to analyze its impact on us.The question remains if these entities were to commit crime, Artificially Intelligent Crime – or AIC, if you will – could it be determined that AI has the capability to produce mens rea? To begin discussing the degree of mental premeditation AI may be capable of, first one must be introduced to a brief background into AI. Then into an investigation of the mens rea element and how to find it, followed by the penal results of AIC."

Reference:

Gabriel Hallevy, When Robots Kill: Artificial Intelligence Under Criminal Law (Boston: University Press of New England, 2013)

from Murder of Peace Officers and Mens Rea - Daniella Filoso

"Section 231(1)(4) (a-c) of the Criminal Code of Canada should be changed so that a more stringent mens rea standard is required in order to charge an individual with first degree murder of a peace officer. The existing murder provision relating to peace officers challenges the importance of actus reus and mens rea. This has negative implications for individuals from marginalized groups. Further, not needing a "planned and deliberate" mens rea to be charged with the murder of a peace officer creates a disparity between the responsibility of Canadian individuals and peace officers."

From Gradations of Murder - Izzidine Al Mufti

"The current gradation and harsh periods of parole ineligibility can very well act as a means of pressuring the accused into entering plea negotiations. Despite homicide rates having declined since the 1976, the rate of first degree murder charges has risen."

Reference: Isabel Grant, Rethinking the Sentencing Regime for Murder, 39 Osgoode Hall L.J. 655 (2001), at 708.

from Murder Provisions and Assisted Suicide - Colm O'Sullivan

"Those who administer assisted suicide have a job unlike any other since they can legally kill a person because the person wants them to. Doctors are vulnerable to being charged with homicide in unjust circumstances since the premeditated ending of life could be seen as murder because they are not excluded from the murder provision."

from Offender History and Intent - Cameron Fox

"I would like to see us introduce using offender history-analysis as an aid in determining whether the mens rea existed for a crime. While I am not suggesting we replace Canadian courts with psychiatric institutions, more studies are surfacing about the effects one’s childhood has on their adult life. Emphasis on this aspect is imperative. “Thought” is not something we can bag and display as exhibitory evidence in a courtroom. What we can show are historical facts about the offender during his/her formative years. This idea is an extremely powerful tool, one that cannot be used as the only source of evidence- of course. These historical facts are to be used when the question of mens rea teeters in the center of interpretation, and the only source of intent-evidence is too subjective. I posit analysis of an offender’s history, and risk factors presented to them in earlier stages of life will allow the Crown to confidently, and correctly determine what he meant."

from The Mind of a Murderer - Braedan de Bakker

"...The charge of first-degree murder logically and legally requires subjective mens rea standard. Applying an objective standard to the highly stigmatized crimes such as first-degree murder would lead to illogical conclusions as well as unjustly lower the standard of proof. It is because of this that the subjective mens rea standard aptly fits the crime of first-degree murder. Cases such as Creighton, Martineau, and Droste effectively demonstrate this. The standard of evidence should always at the highest possible threshold for grand accusations or claims; anything less would be a violation of justice and intellect."

References:

R. v. Creighton, [1993] 3 S.C.R. 3

R. v. Droste, [1984] 1 S.C.R. 208

R. v. Martineau, [1990] 2 S.C.R. 633

from Mens Rea Within Canadian Homicide - Jordan Reid

"Winston Churchill once famously said, “If you kill a murderer, the quantity of murderers will not change.” Staying true to these immortal words, in 1976, Canada embraced a reformative approach to criminal justice as opposed to the previous punitive approach when it introduced Bill C-84 in its Criminal Code thus abolishing the practice of death penalty."

from Defence of Property and Murder: Current Issues - Anthony Colonico

"Especially after Colten Boushie's death and the acquittal of Gerald Stanley for it, Canada's law needs to show that a person’s life is valued over a piece of property. This is crucial to Canadian common law, as well as addresses the complexity of this debate today, given recent events."

from Mens Rea Matters - Katrina Doering

"The Criminal Code in Canada is a set of rules made for individuals who break the law, and therefore should be a document that is trustworthy and just."

from We Can and Must Do Better - Kelsey Rhude

"While clearly there is no simple solution, it is time that the criminal justice system lives up to its promise of justice, not only for Canadians of one particular cultural and ethnic background, but for all Canadians."
