  • The Australian Democrats Andrew Bartlett*
    Australian Cultural History Vol. 27, No.2, October 2009, 187-193 The Australian Democrats Andrew Bartlett* The Australian Democrats had maintained a presence in the Senate since 1977, but the 2007 election threatened to end their representation for good. Their efforts to retain seats proved to be in vain. Keywords: 2007 election; Australian Democrats; Senate Following on from the 2004 election, where the Australian Democrats lost four seats (including the Democrat seat Meg Lees had taken with her when she resigned from the party in 2002), plus official parliamentary status and balance of power in the Senate, the Party faced a very difficult task in the 2007 election trying to keep its four remaining Senate seats. Right throughout John Howard's fourth term, opinion polls showed public support for the Democrats consistently scraping along rock bottom levels of 1 or 2 per cent, as they had ever since the Lees resignation and the related public implosion of Natasha Stott Despoja's leadership in 2002. Even though the removal of the Democrats from the balance of power after the 2004 poll led directly to the Coalition government gaining control of the Senate, where it frequently used its majority to stifle scrutiny and bulldoze through some controversial legislation, the Democrats were unable to use this situation to build public support for returning the Party to its traditional Senate watchdog position. The Party had avoided going into debt in its 2004 campaign, so there were sufficient funds to run a basic campaign in priority areas for the 2007 election. However, serious use of paid advertising was not feasible.

Since they are bodies intended to supervise States’ compliance with treaty obligations, it is clear that they should be composed of the most suitable individuals. Commissioners must have high moral character and have recognized competence in human rights.

  • 2014 Graduates Marion Bethel COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS EDLS
    [1] COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS EUGENE DUPUCH LAW SCHOOL GRADUATING CLASS OF 2014 SATURDAY, 20TH SEPTEMBER, 2014 BY MARION BETHEL Governor General, Dame Marguerite Chief Justice, Sir Michael Barnett Minister of State in the Ministry of Legal Affairs, Mr. Damien Gomez Justices of the Court of Appeal Justices of the Supreme Court Senior Government Officials Chairman of the Council of Legal Education, Jacqueline Samuels-Brown, QC Principals of the various Law Schools Distinguished Guests Madame Chairman Samuels-Brown, I thank you firstly for your warm and spirited invitation to me in regard to this commencement address to the graduating class of 2014. And I thank you for a creative and memorable introduction of one lawyer’s journey. Principal Galanis, I thank you for enthusiastically reaching out to me in the first instance. It is, indeed, a privilege for me to be here on this very special occasion for both the graduates and their families. A commencement ceremony is a momentous occasion as it signals simultaneously an ending and a beginning. I heartily congratulate you, graduates, on the successful completion of a challenging and engaging course of study at the Law School. I well know the relief, excitement and anticipation you must be feeling at this time. I also know the deep pride and joy of your parents, spouses, extended families and friends on this occasion. This event must, indeed, represent a game-changer for your parents; hopefully, boatloads of money will now dock in the opposite direction. Truth be told, I have never attended any of my many graduations including that of my Bar School.

  • Capital Punishment and Australian Foreign Policy
    POLICY BRIEF August 2006 DR MICHAEL FULLILOVE Capital Punishment and Program Director Global Issues Australian Foreign Policy Tel: +61 2 8238 9040 [email protected] W h a t i s t h e p r o b l e m ? Australia is an abolitionist country. Both the Australian Government and the Opposition are opposed to capital punishment. Australia engages in modest advocacy against the death penalty but most of Canberra’s efforts are directed toward cases involving Australian citizens. These are likely to continue to occur: our closest Asian neighbours retain the death penalty, and Australian nationals will probably continue to commit criminal acts carrying this penalty. Situations involving Australians often do violence to bilateral relations. For example, the looming execution of Van Tuong Nguyen last year led to calls from Australian commentators for trade and business sanctions against Singapore, and charges of hypocrisy being levelled against Australia in the regional press. The problem, then, is twofold: Australian diplomacy is making little progress toward universal abolition, a bipartisan national policy; and our bilateral relationships are being damaged because of our perceived hypocrisy on the issue. W h a t s h o u l d b e d o n e ? Australia is an effective advocate for our nationals on death row. However, we should accelerate our efforts on comprehensive abolition, in two ways: • Australian political leaders should bring some consistency to their rhetoric on the death penalty; and • Australia should initiate a regional coalition against capital punishment. In the past decade five Asian states have done away with the death penalty.

  • Australia: Professor Marian Simms Head, Political Studies Department
    Australia: Professor Marian Simms Head, Political Studies Department University of Otago Paper prepared for presentation at the joint ANU/UBA ‘John Fogarty Seminar’, Buenos Aires, Argentina 26-27 April 2007 Please note this paper is a draft version and is not for citation at this stage 1 Overview: Australian has been characterized variously as ‘The Lucky Country’ (Donald Horne), ‘A Small Rich Industrial Country’ (Heinz Arndt), and as suffering from ‘The Tyranny of Distance’ (Geoffrey Blainey). These distinguished authors have all mentioned negatives alongside positives; for example, political commentator Donald Horne’s famous comment was meant to be ironic – Australia’s affluence, and hence stability, were founded on good luck via rich mineral resources. For Blainey, the historian, geography mattered, both in terms of the vast distances from Europe and in terms of the vast size of the country.1 For economic historian Arndt, size was a double-edged sword – Australia had done well in spite of its small population. Those commentatories were all published in the 1970s. Since then much has happened globally, namely the stock market crash of the eighties, the collapse of communism in the late eighties and early nineties, the emergence of the Asian tigers in the nineties, and the attack on New York’s twin towers in 2001. All were profound events. It is the argument of this paper that in spite of these and other challenges, Australia’s institutional fabric has incorporated economic, social and political change. This is not to say that it has solved all of its social and economic problems, especially those dealing with minority groups such as the indigenous community, disaffected youth and some immigrant groups.

  • Herskovits and the Problem of Induction, Or, Guinea Coast, 1593 In
    B. Maurer Fact and fetish in creolization studies: Herskovits and the problem of induction, or, Guinea Coast, 1593 In: New West Indian Guide/ Nieuwe West-Indische Gids 76 (2002), no: 1/2, Leiden, 5-22 This PDF-file was downloaded from http://www.kitlv-journals.nl BILL MAURER FACT AND FETISH IN CREOLIZATION STUDIES: HERSKOVITS AND THE PROBLEM OF INDUCTION, OR, GUINEA COAST, 1593 Two things strike me in reading some of the work cited by Richard Price (2001) in his retrospective on creolization in the African diaspora in the Americas.' First, although Melville Herskovits's research on New World Africanity figures prominently either as source of inspiration, object of criticism, or merely useful signpost, his equally influential writings on economie anthropology and their possible relation to his work on African survivals in the New World are largely absent from the discussion.2 Second, in a debate oriented largely around differ- ing interpretations of "much the same data" (R. Price 2001:52), and in which attention to "what went on in specifie places and times" (Trouillot 1998:20) is paramount, there is little reflection on the status of the facts asfacts and the modality of inductive reasoning in which historical particularism makes sense. In the case of African survivals, the problem of induction is particularly acute since the data that might be admitted as evidence are rarely straightforwardly evident to the senses.3 1. I would like to thank Jennifer Heung, Rosemarijn Hoefte, Tom Boellstorff, Kevin Yelvington, and the reviewers for the NWIG for their comments, criticisms, suggestions (and photocopies!) of some sources, as well as their general collegial assistance.
