Source: The script was based on a 75,000 word historical survey of the incident compiled by Sydney newspaperman Rex Rienits. Watts' original notion was that the film would be made as a kind of documentary, with all characters and incidents true to history and no fictional embellishment of any kind. "It is believed that this is the first time such a thing has been attempted in a major, full-length picture. Mr. Watt brought English novelist Walter Greenwood (Love on the Dole) out to Australia (wiki here), to work on the screenplay, with Ralph Smart (Bush Christmas), also being noted in the head credits as contributing some scenes. Shoulder belt plate, 40th (2nd Somersetshire) Regiment of Foot : Captain H C Wyse, Eureka Stockade, 1854. Summary A note attached to the back of the plate, written in 1907 by Henry Burton, formerly a lieutenant in the 40th Foot, states that the plate belonged originally to Captain Wyse (also known as Wise) who was killed at Eureka Stockade in 1854.

By Maria Popova Equilibrium, apathy and what John Stuart Mill has to do with medical marijuana.
You may recall filmmaker Temujin Doran from The Art of Protest, a cunning short documentary about the democratic deficits of today’s political protests. Doran has just released his latest film, Market Maketh Man — an ambitious analysis of several models of liberal democratic doctrine — and today, we sit down with him to talk about democracy, innovation, and the cultural responsibility of filmmakers. What do you think will be the single most important social or cultural shift, trend or innovation to define the course of democracy in the next decade? I think that most people are confident in the power of the internet to be a tool that champions our individuality and be a strong force for a more democratic, pluralist society. Never before have these tools been so prominent in election campaigns, and in the future they will increasingly define these events and perhaps too, the course of governance.

Audit of Political Engagement 10 - Parliament & Government. The Audit of Political Engagement is the only annual health check on our democratic system.
Now in its 10th year, each Audit measures the ‘political pulse’ of the nation, providing a unique benchmark to gauge public opinion across Great Britain with regard to the political system. This year’s report explores a worrying decline in the public’s propensity to vote. Just 41% of the public now say that in the event of an immediate general election they would be certain to vote – a decline of seven percentage points in a year and the lowest level in the debate of the Audit.
Twenty percent of people say they are certain not to vote. Home - Reason in Revolt. Australian Women's History.

An insight into voter apathy. Is democracy in crisis? A Q&A with TED ebook author Ivan Krastev. All around the globe, people are feeling increasingly skeptical and mistrustful of their leaders. According to one global trust barometer, only 52% of survey respondents said that they trusted their government to do the right thing in 2011 and, in 2012, the number plummeted to 43%. As recent surveys reveal, only 18% of Italians believe their vote matters, just 15% of Greeks says that pulling a lever makes a difference and a scant 20% of Americans agree that their government makes good decisions.
Meanwhile, Japan and South Korea suffered 26- and 17-point declines in government trust ratings this year, respectively. These are all democracies.
