When investigative reporters Nick McKenzie and Chris Masters stories are contentious and suggested looking into potential SAS misconduct in Afghanistan in 2017, senior editors expressed the same concerns many uncomfortable.” readers had when they first heard the allegations. How can we be sure these alleged crimes occurred? Were the actions of soldiers justifiable “in the fog of war”? Should we judge brave soldiers fighting in unimaginably tough conditions? A turning point was when McKenzie played back confidential, anonymised interviews with SAS whistleblowers. It was clear listening to their testimony that they themselves had no time for “fog of war” arguments. The whistleblowers were vindicated when the Inspector-General of the Australian Defence Force, Paul Brereton, found credible evidence 19 Australian special forces soldiers committed up to 39 murders of innocent Afghans. Now those current or former soldiers will face criminal investigation, possible prosecution and the stripping of their medals. Public interest journalism is not a popularity contest and sometimes the most important stories are contentious and uncomfortable. McKenzie’s moving Good Weekend feature about Dusty Miller, an SAS combat medic haunted by what he saw in Afghanistan, encapsulates why this difficult investigation was so important.

In the case of The Age and the Herald investigative unit’s expose of international bribery and corruption in the oil industry, it’s taken four years. In 2016, the team and I revealed that a Monaco-based company, Unaoil, was acting as a front that allowed dozens of multinational companies including Rolls-Royce, Halliburton, Hyundai, KBR and Eni to funnel millions in bribes and kickbacks to officials in Iraq, Algeria, Angola, Azerbaijan and elsewhere. The stories, and the cache of emails they were based on, led to raids overseas, arrests across Europe and the jailing of Unaoil managers in the UK. Unaoil’s owners, the Ahsani brothers, were arrested by the FBI and in 2020 pleaded guilty to serious corruption and bribery. Rolls-Royce and TechnipFMC settled Unaoil-related investigations run by US or British agencies by paying hundreds of millions of dollars.

  • Social Democracy and the Rudd Labor Government in Australia
    Internationale Politikanalyse International Policy Analysis Andrew Scott Social Democracy and the Rudd Labor Government in Australia As the Rudd Labor Party Government in Australia celebrates two years in office following the Party’s many years in opposition, it is in a strong position. However, it needs to more clearly outline its social democratic ambitions in order to break free from the policies of the former right-wing government, from three decades of neo-liberal intellectual dominance and from association with the ineffectual policy approach of British Labour’s »Third Way«. This can be done with a greater and more sustained commitment to improve industrial relations in favour of working families, including by fur- ther expanding paid parental leave. There also need to be further increases in public investment, including in all forms of education, and policy action to broaden the nation’s economic base by rebuilding manufacturing in- dustry. Other priorities should be to better prevent and alleviate the plight of the unemployed, and to tackle the inadequate taxation presently paid by the wealthy. Australia needs now to look beyond the English-speaking world to en- visage social democratic job creation programs in community services, and to greatly reduce child poverty. Australia also needs better planning for the major cities, where the population is growing most. Consistent with the wish for a greater role as a medium-sized power in the world, Aus- tralia’s Labor Government needs to take more actions towards a humani- tarian

In truth, this is a useful starting point for any discussion of diversity within a nation, and the way that nation manages its diversity, because it forces us to think about the concept of the nation itself, and the very essence of national identity. That essence begins with the treaties of Westphalia. It is no exaggeration to say that the doctrines on which the nation state is built were born in those treaties. So, too, the nation state’s attendant mythologies. And here we must admit that in spite of whatever politicians might want to say, the nation state is a mythologized fiction that we keep alive through the way that we talk about it.

Panel discussion—investigative case studies COMMENTARY The transcript of a panel discussion on two Australian investiga- tive journalism case studies, moderated by Helen Vatsikopoulos: 1. Dirty Money: The Age and ABC Four Corners investigations in 2009 and 2010 into the Federal Reserve Bank and the allegedly corrupt activi- ties of some staff of a subsidiary company, Securency—Richard Baker, Nick McKenzie and Sue Spencer; 2. Crime Does Pay: a Sydney Morning Herald investigation into how the law enforcement agency NSW Crime Commission has been sharing the proceeds of crime with organised crime figures, cutting deals that allow them to walk away with millions of dol- lars—Dylan Welch, Linton Besser. HELEN VATSIKOPOULOS, RICHARD BAKER, NICK MCKENZIE, SUE SPENCER, DYLAN WELCH AND LINTON BESSER Case 1: Dirty Money ICHARD BAKER: I first got a whiff of the story in September 2008. An acquaintance who I’d got to know through journalism wandered Rup and said he knew a guy with a hell of a story. I said What’s it about? He replied that the Reserve Bank had these companies, Securency and Note Printing Australia. I had to admit I’d never heard of them. He said in a nutshell his mate knew a bit about it and they were paying massive bribes to foreign politicians and officials all over the world to secure con- tracts. So I thought it sounded pretty good. Naturally, I asked if I could meet this guy. So he set up a meeting. We haven’t revealed the identity of this person because they asked to remain confidential, so I might refer to him as the Insider for ease.

  • Party Primaries for Candidate Selection? Right Question, Wrong Answer
    964 UNSW Law Journal Volume 34(3) PARTY PRIMARIES FOR CANDIDATE SELECTION? RIGHT QUESTION, WRONG ANSWER GRAEME ORR ∗ I INTRODUCTION Political parties act as gatekeepers to Parliament,1 and hence to law-making and ministerial government. Theirs is gatekeeping in a special sense, however. Occupational gatekeepers screen entrants to professions using defined and transparent measures. The process of becoming an MP, however, is a thoroughly political one. As Lord Hoffmann observed, ‘the main criterion is likely to be the popularity of the candidate with the voters … the candidate who, for whatever reason, seems … most likely to win’. 2 Along with that criterion, internal party ideology, rivalries and factionalism may play a part. Given the long-standing dominance by parties of electoral politics – and hence of Parliaments, law- making and executive governance – the gatekeeping role of parties is not merely a matter of internal party concern, but of considerable interest to the wider community and to public law itself. In the common law world, this parliamentary gatekeeping is described as candidate ‘endorsement’ or ‘preselection’. 3 These very terms imply that the process is within the party’s control. They assume a coherent, intentional body, identifiable as ‘the party’, which gives its imprimatur to candidates to contest general elections on its behalf. In contrast, candidate selection in the United States of America (‘US’) is taken out of the hands of parties, and placed in the hands of a broader electorate. Through the mechanism of the direct primary election, candidate selection in the US is more open, and even more political (in the public sense), 4 than elsewhere.
