Australian Media Star Ray Martin

By Maude Moses


Ray Martin (1944) was born in Richmond, New South Wales, Australia. He attended college with the intention of teaching English History. Now, he is an award-winning television presenter. For his efforts, he has been awarded the Centenary Medal, the Gold Logie and the Order of Australia.

His career has been peppered with controversy. He has criticized Australian television producers and the rating system for dumbing down coverage of serious current affairs. He boldly took a metaphorical pop at Aussie media mogul, Rupert Murdoch during the telephone bugging scandal.

He currently promotes a movement to replace the current Australian flag replaced with a design that does not contain the Union Jack of the British Empire in the top left-hand corner. The 'Change the Flag' campaign want this symbol, with little relevance to present-day Australia, completely removed. The expectation is that Australia will vote to become an independent republic.

Opponents of the move point out that Aussies have fought and died as the flag just as it is and feel it would be an insult to their memories to alter it in any way. Others point out that the symbol is a part of their own heritage. Others believe that changing the flag would be a frivolous waste of money and invite pro-change campaigners to leave the country if they don't like it. There is even a Facebook page set up in opposition to the campaign for change.

Martin is angry with television producers that insult the intelligence of working class citizens with their insipid coverage of current events. Consequently, they are switching in droves to other channels. He cites the change to minute-by-minute television ratings as a contributing factor. Other networks provide in depth interviews and news coverage, demonstrating better faith in the antipodean viewer.

Ray Martin has published two autobiographical accounts of his life. 'Ray - Stories of My Life' was published in 2009. More recently, he has been travelling around the country promoting his more recent book, 'Ray Martins Favourites - The Stories behind the legends'. ray martin
