    February 2022

    Media Super and Cbus are preparing to merge 

    Media Super is planning to merge with Cbus, the industry super fund for those who build Australia. 


    Media Super Limited (the trustee for Media Super) and United Super Pty Ltd (the trustee for Cbus) have signed a merger agreement, which is an important milestone in the merger journey. While there are still some approval processes that need to happen, both funds are working towards completing the merger process before the second quarter of 2022.

    Media Super’s planned merger with Cbus is driven by our objective to improve outcomes for our members. The focus remains on supporting members in the print, media, entertainment and arts industries, as we have for more than 30 years. 

    After the merger, the Media Super brand and industry focus will continue, and members will be part of a much larger and growing combined fund.

    We’ve found the right partner to continue our proud legacy 

    Media Super is proud of our heritage and industry focus, and we have been performing well for our members, with strong long-term returns and competitive fees. Our sole objective is to provide strong outcomes for our members in retirement. However, we’ve realised that the increasing complexities of superannuation and rising costs mean the best outcome for our members is to find a merger partner.

    We are always looking after our members’ best financial interests, and that is why we have found a like-minded merger partner in Cbus. The super fund for those who build Australia, Cbus has more than $65 billion in funds under management and 775,000 members (as at 30 June 2021).

    Cbus has a history of low fees, strong investment performance and excellent service.

    We share the same mission 

    Media Super and Cbus share the same mission: better retirement outcomes for members. Being industry super funds, both Media Super and Cbus have a similar culture and shared values. 

    Increased scale and growth also benefit members by providing access to more investment opportunities, greater scope to manage fees effectively and access to products and services, including for those approaching or currently in retirement.

    What happens next? 

    The merged fund will have more than $70 billion in assets and manage the retirement savings of around 850,000 hardworking members. 

    Media Super members and employers will still benefit from products and services tailored to their industries while also gaining access to the benefits of size and scale that come with belonging to a larger fund. 

    Those benefits include access to more investment opportunities, greater scope to manage fees effectively and access to innovative products and services, including for those approaching or in retirement.

    Media Super and Cbus are now focused on transition planning to integrate investment, administration, and operations. This is a comprehensive process, with both funds ensuring the plan will deliver a result that’s in the best financial interest of members. 

    Our focus is squarely on delivering strong long-term investment returns and retirement outcomes for Media Super and Cbus members.

    Vale Michael Thornhill (1941-2022)

    A wake will be held for Michael at The Lord Wolseley Hotel,  265 Bulwara Road, Ultimo on Monday February 28th from 3pm to 6pm.  All are welcome to attend.


    Photo: John Flaus and Michael Thornhill (right)

    Michael Thornhill was, and is, an important Australian director, film critic, film and TV producer as well as a rather contradictory character. To my eyes he was both a poet of the cinema, a political loudmouth sitting yelling at me in the corner of a pub and a loyal friend. He was talented, intelligent and verbose;  a much loved personality.

    As a director the ground he covered breathed working class underdog, intelligentsia rebel, sexual underworld observer and criminal underworld storyteller. His film tastes, as he said himself, were “catholic”. Though not always commercially successful his films were unreservedly down to earth Australian, something that other filmmakers didn’t achieve because it’s either in your bones or it’s not.

    His major features, “Between Wars”(1974) and “FJ Holden” (1977) were ground breaking ventures in the early days of Australian cinema. His short film “The American Poet’s Visit” (1969) was the best short film ever made from a Frank Moorhouse story. His influence on the Australian film industry was huge, especially when he was a generous and astute executive at the New South Wales Film Corporation (later the NSWFTO) where he, David Roe and Jenny Woods were instrumental in funding films like My Brilliant Career, Bliss, Stir, Newsfront and many others.

    Michael was born in Paddington on March 29, 1941 to Mr and Mrs Frank Thornhill. His mother was English, she came from Sale in Cheshire. The family moved to Tasmania where she died when he was four. Michael lived with his father till his late teens when, without doing the leaving certificate and with nothing but a passion for film in his head, he travelled to Melbourne.

    There he met filmmaker Tim Burstall, who encouraged his film interest. He then moved to Edgecliff, Sydney to live with his aunt, artist Dorothy Thornhill and her husband, artist Douglas Dundas. Dorothy became his surrogate mother who loved, spoiled and supported him financially. She was a very fine artist herself and Michael adored her.

    Michael’s first job was as an ABC projectionist. Producer Richard Brennan remembers meeting him at the ABC in 1959 when he was a rake-thin 19.

    In the early 1960s he started attending the WEA film study group run by Ian Klava (then director of the Sydney Film Festival). There he met writer Frank Moorhouse, a fellow film enthusiast who worked at the WEA and film teacher John Flaus.

    Gillian Burnett and Sandra Grimes, both runaway, rebel young girls then, were working in the WEA library at the time. They invited Michael, who had become good friends with Frank, to come to the Newcastle hotel with them on Friday nights.

    This was his introduction to the “Push” (or “baby Push” as film producer Margaret Fink describes them). The “baby Push” was a loose group of intellectuals, would be writers and artists developed from professor John Anderson’s original Libertarian Society of the 1950s. They met at the Royal George Hotel in Sussex Street or the Newcastle Hotel in George Street.  After the six o’clock closing they would often go to Lorenzini’s wine bar in Elizabeth Street.

    This introduced Michael to a like-minded, mildly seditious young underclass of male and female artists and intellectuals. It strengthened his radical ideas and secured his relationship with Frank Moorhouse.

    He began to write articles for the WEA’s Film Digest and in 1965 he and Ken Quinnell, who he met at the Newcastle, started publishing the Sydney Cinema Journal. He also worked as a film editor.

    He became a film critic for “The Australian” and “The Sydney Morning Herald” between 1969 and 1973.  Richard Victor Hall invited him to the “literati“ Friday luncheons at Tony Bilson’s Bon Gout.

    In 1969 he made two documentaries for the Commonwealth Film Unit; Stainless Glass Screens and The Esperance Story. Hthen made a 16 minute drama The American Poet’s Visit, based on a short story by Moorhouse and co written with Ken Quinnell. Filmed over two weekends by Russell Boyd in Bill Bonney’s house where the original event had taken place, it had a miniscule self-raised budget of $900.  Michael kept as close as he could to the spirit of Frank’s writing and the result is a wonderfully truthful, chaotic document of those times and those people. It launched Michael’s directing career.

    In 1970 the Australian government starting funding short films and he followed up with The Girl from the Family of Man 1970 (budget $4000) and The Machine Gun 1971 (budget $5000). After two documentaries for the CFU in 1974 (Mister Fixit My Dad and Kevin and Cheryl) he made the feature Between Wars, written by Moorhouse. It starred Corin Redgrave and was Australia’s first serious political film, examining Sydney society between the wars through the eyes of a psychiatrist. It was a bold, elegiac venture. He followed this with FJ Holden in 1977, a film set in Bankstown, an apparently ”formless study of a group of kids living in Sydney Western suburbs”. Written by Terry Larson it was not the usual “ocker comedy” or a “gentle romance” but a “value free look” at the lives of these kids. It had a mixed reception, was roughly directed  (Michael was occasionally insecure with film grammar) but was an example of Michael’s inherent poetic understanding of the core of Australian life.

    In 1979 he directed The Journalist. In 1983 he produced the excellent documentary Who Killed Baby Azaria (1983) with Errol Sullivan. His last film was The Everlasting Secret Family (1988.)

    He was a staunch supporter of the Australian Directors Guild, of which he was a founding member. He never married but his most sustaining relationship was with writer Thea Welsh, who predeceased him.

    The memory of his work, both in directing and writing, the power of his personality and ideas, still plays strongly into our industry. His tenacity and poetic outlook is an inspiration for Australian filmmakers.

    In his last months he was assisted and cared for by Errol Sullivan, Gillian Burrell (nee Burnett) and Tom Jeffrey from the MPIBS (Motion Picture Industry Benevolent Society) to which ASDACS contributes.

    Isolated by Covid rules he died peacefully under care at St Basils Aged Care in Annandale on January 22.

    ADG End of Year Message 2021

    Well, 2021 has been an extraordinary year in so many ways, one where our members and our organisation’s resilience has been well and truly tested. 

    But challenging though 2021 was, I’m incredibly proud of what our members and our team have been able to collectively achieve. 

    Of course,  innovation and determination in the face of adversity is part of a Directors’ DNA - and nowhere was this more evident than in the very public Make it Australian campaign in the face of some particularly regressive media reform announced by our government at the end of 2020. 
     
    With strong lobbying collaboration across the sector and the support of the ALP, Greens and the cross-benchers we achieved some great policy outcomes in Canberra: 

    • Retention of the 40% feature offset as well as the lower qualifying thresholds and the Gallipoli Clause, 
    • Increase of the TV offset from 20 to 30%, and,  
    • Retention of the NEDE scheme for subscription TV 

    This means more employment opportunities for our members, more opportunities for Australian stories to be told and great outcomes for Australian audiences with a proven appetite to watch them. 
     
    However on the negative side of the ledger, this government watered down long running Australian content quotas for Free to Air Commercial Networks and removed any obligation for Australian networks to produce Australian Kid’s content  - 
    SPA modelled a decline of $100m in production spend annually resulting from these changes. 

    And unlike other progressive international governments, our government has been tortoise-slow to regulate Australian content minimums on Streaming platforms that have exponentially increased their reach, influence and financial returns in Australia during the pandemic. 
     
    So, we look forward to continuing the fight for Australian stories on Australian screens in 2022. 
     
    With the pandemic continuing to wreak havoc with our in-person events and workshop calendar, we’ve innovated new ways to connect with our members. 
     
    Our weekly ADG-40 First-Hand on-line mentoring sessions have connected hundreds of our members to our established member brains trust, Mentors have generously shared their tips, their methods, their wisdom and lived experiences. 
     
    The productions for our Annual Diversity Showcase with the AWG, Screen Australia and the Equity Foundation were due to be shot in-Sydney but covid knocked that on the head. 
     
    Our five very talented Directors were able to innovate new ways of remote working to tell stories that were screened to a packed auditorium in Sydney on the 3rd of December.   

    And our Awards had the highest number of entries by a considerable margin this year, the stories never more entertaining, engaging, and diverse.  

    We live-streamed the nominations for the first time and the live-streamed Awards ceremony hit a fittingly celebratory and inclusive note to cap off an incredibly challenging year 
     
    A couple of hundred joined us in the audience in Sydney and many more attended our pop-up in-cinema live awards events in Perth, Brisbane and Melbourne. 
     
    We continued to expand our Learning and Development Partnerships with two intakes of the Director Pathways program with Screenworks providing bespoke Career Development for early-career directors living in Regional NSW. 
     
    We launched the Talent Gateway partnership with Australian’s in Film with an aim to bring Australian voices and stories to international audiences and provide access and connections to key US decision makers. 
     
    And with the conclusion of our DirectOne Shadow Directing program funding from Screen Australia, we’ve taken all the learnings from a very successful program into a very exciting new program called Local2Global. 

    We think it’s an industry game-changer, as for the first time it ties together all our workshops, attachments, shadow and mentoring programs into a cohesive annual curriculum. 

    We look forward to sharing more news on this exciting initiative with you in the new year. 
     
    Hopefully you’ve also noticed a major improvement to our member experience and digital content following the long-awaited launch of our new website in November. www.adg.org.au

    If you haven’t done so already, we’d encourage you to log on, update your member information and take advantage of the resources exclusively available to members in the Members Hub.  

    You’ll find a host of useful information there including recommended rates, contract advice, recordings of the ADG-40 First-Hand sessions and of our Annual Awards. 
     
    And in some very exciting news, something we think will be quite transformative for both our members and the wider industry, we launch our searchable member database - THE DIRECTORY – in February next year. 

    This, for the first time, provides our members opportunity to showcase their work and be found - we’d love you to update your information and opt in. 
     
    The end of 2021 saw the end of an era with our formidable president Samantha Lang, stepping down after serving twelve years on the ADG board and six years in the role of president.  

    Sam oversaw an exponential growth in the number and diversity of ADG members, championed the Gender Matters program, expanded the range of professional development opportunities for ADG members and raised the Guild’s industrial influence and standing.  

    We thank Sam for her enormous contribution.

    And we’re thrilled that Rowan Woods agreed to stand as ADG President and was duly elected as our new president in November. 

    We also welcome new board member Partho Sen-Gupta to the board. 
     
    Lastly, if you’ve not done so already, do make sure to renew your membership. Please click here to renew. 

    With our new member portal it’s never been easier and your fees are absolutely critical to funding all our advocacy, career development and industrial relations initiatives. 

    They are critical to us being able to support your careers and fight for your rights. 
     
    On behalf of everyone at the ADG, I wish you a safe and happy festive season and a wonderful and productive 2022. 

    Alaric McAusland 

    ADG Executive Director

    MEDIA RELEASE - 1 December 2021

    BIG BOOST FOR SCREEN SECTOR

    Australia’s screen sector today warmly welcomed the passage through Parliament of measures to increase the level of support for screen content provided through vital tax incentives.

    The Parliament today passed the Treasury Laws Amendment (2021 Measures No. 5) Bill 2021, which includes the much-anticipated increase in the Producer Offset for television productions from 20% to 30%.
