Following the addition of outdoor photography to t

Following the addition of outdoor photography to the permitted industries list this week, I contacted a number of government departments seeking clarification as to whether videography is also now permitted. This is not clear on the current Permitted Work Premises List.

Today, I received the following advice from the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions (DJPR):

“In the context of the Permitted Work Premises list, videography is considered part of outdoor photography where the activities are the same (e.g. wedding videography), including the same restrictions, including an obligation to minimise the time your subjects have their face masks removed.

If you were undertaking camera operation activities as part of the production of a feature film, television and documentaries, this would fall under the Information, Media and Telecommunications category.”

Based on this advice from DJPR, videographers are permitted to operate within this directive:

“Outdoor photography for commercial photographers undertaking paid services. Services must operate solely outdoors with up to five people where physical distancing can be maintained at all times, for businesses with an ABN”.

I also requested that the wording of this be amended to incorporate videography so we have a clear directive for video production, as follows:

Outdoor photography and videography for commercial photographers, videographers and associated crew undertaking paid services. Services must operate solely outdoors with up to five people where physical distancing can be maintained at all times, for businesses with an ABN.

DJPR have since responded:

“Thank you for your feedback regarding videography. A process is currently underway to update the Permitted Work Premises List with this clarification.”

Hopefully we’ll see the Permitted Work Premises List updated very soon with an amendment along these lines to provide some certainty and rebuild confidence that Melbourne is a viable, safe and great place to shoot.

Peter O’Brien proves you’re never too old to start something new.

At age 50, Peter ran his first marathon, taking an interest in running after seeing his son David competing in triathlons.

Now aged 72, Peter has run marathons all over the world including Gold Coast, Berlin, Paris, Tokyo and Chicago and has no intention of giving up running anytime soon.

Living in Deniliquin, a small rural town in New South Wales, Australia, Peter is supported in his running journey by his wife Lynette and trains with his son David and daughter Michelle.

We spent a couple of days with Peter and his family in Deniliquin, capturing his story for Abbott World Marathon Majors.

The Gulf of Carpentaria is a remote and vast lands

The Gulf of Carpentaria is a remote and vast landscape of coastline, estuaries and wetlands in northern Australia.
The region is home to an abundance of unique wildlife including dugongs, marine turtles, migratory shorebirds as well as important mangroves and wetlands that play a significant role in sequestering carbon.

For such a remote area of Australia, you would expect it to be pristine. Unfortunately, tonnes of rubbish is polluting the region every year.

Ocean currents are pulling rubbish, largely single use plastics from international waters, into the Gulf of Carpentaria.

Discarded fishing nets the size of football fields are washing up on the shore entangled with drowned sea turtles.

Seasonal tourism is also bringing waste into the area and with no waste processing infrastructure in the region, it has nowhere to go.

Earthwatch Australia has been awarded a grant by the Coca-Cola Australia Foundation to undertake their ‘Wetlands Not Wastelands’ initiative to develop the marine pollution and wetland management program.

Earthwatch Australia will collaborate with Carpentaria Land Council Aboriginal Corporation and recycling experts Plastic Collective to introduce two plastic recycling machines into the region and train local rangers on how to use them to upcycle waste products into valuable commercial products, creating social enterprise that further supports the local community.
