  • Migration Amendment (Repairing Medical Transfers) Bill 2019 [Provisions]
    Migration Amendment (Repairing Medical Transfers) Bill 2019 [Provisions] I am writing this submission to put my points before you in the hope and expectation that you will read and consider them. My submission addresses the following points: The necessity of adequate, safe and timely healthcare for the people held on Manus and Nauru Islands. The obligation of Duty of Care towards the people held on the islands by our Government Australia is responsible for the health and safety of the people held on the islands. Why Medevac is necessary to ensure the health and safety of the people held on the islands. Why there is a medical emergency for people held on the islands. Why Medevac does not weaken our country’s border protection. Medevac does not prevent Australians from accessing health care. I support the Medevac legislation which Dr Kerryn Phelps introduced to Parliament last year and which passed through our Parliament and became law. I hope it will not be repealed. DECENT HEALTH CARE Should the Australian Government ne successful in reversing this law, I can see no option other requesting the assistance of the International Red Cross to tend to the health and mental health needs of the refugee people living on the islands of Nauru and Manus. That is, unless the Australian Government members and non-government parliamentary members decide to consciously continue to accept more preventable deaths, illnesses, infections and acute and deteriorating mental health conditions amongst the refugee people than have already occurred — 12 people to date have died — on their watch on those islands.

    Submission to the inquiry on the Marriage Equality Amendment Bill 2010 Date of Submission: 2nd of April, 2012 Attention: Committee Secretary Senate Legal and Constitutional Committee PO Box 6100 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Australia Email: [email protected] Dear Committee Secretary, To follow is our submission in favour of the Marriage Equality Amendment Bill 2010. Our Submission has 4 parts to it, which include: 1. Introduction 2. Opinion Piece on Marriage Equality from Professor Kerryn Phelps, OAM 3. Opinion Piece on Marriage Equality from Jackie-Stricker Phelps 4. Fact Sheet on Health Benefits of Marriage Equality. Yours truly, Professor Kerryn Phelps Jackie Stricker-Phelps Professor Kerryn Phelps, OAM Jackie Sticker- Phelps Dear Committee and Senators, Across the Western world we are seeing the meme of marriage equality, the evolution of an idea whose time has come. 14 years ago when Jackie and I first married in New York and started talking publicly about same sex marriage in Australia, we had the unflinching support of family and friends. They didn’t all understand what we were on about or why it mattered so much to us, but they supported us and our right to choose. In many parts of the mainstream media, we were met with dismissal, derision or disbelief. But the seed of a meme had been planted. The idea took root and, gradually, it has grown in acceptance and understanding. The meme is moving like a Mexican wave across international borders and continents. The Netherlands (2001), Belgium (2003), Canada and Spain (2005), South Africa (2006), Norway and Sweden (2009), Portugal, Argentina and Iceland (2010), New York State in 2011.

Even serious journalists began referring to the national legislature metaphorically as the “monkey house” to encapsulate the farcical behaviour they were obliged to report. With Tony Abbott being pre-emptively ousted from the prime ministership by Malcolm Turnbull in 2015, Turnbull himself was, in turn, unceremoniously usurped in bizarre circumstances in August 2018, handing over the leadership to his slightly bemused Treasurer Scott Morrison. Suddenly, Australia was being branded as the notorious “coup capital of the Western democracies”, with five prime ministers in five years and only one losing the high office at a general election.

The Phelps bill will allow the temporary removal of children from offshore detention, create a workable system providing proper health care for refugees and asylum seekers under the protection of the Australian Government, and keeps in place deterrents that prevent asylum seekers risking their lives at sea and endangering themselves and others. AMA President, Dr Tony Bartone, said that it is vital that all asylum seekers and refugees in the care of the Australian Government have access to quality care. “There is compelling evidence that the asylum seekers on Nauru, especially the children, are suffering from serious physical and mental health conditions, and they should be brought to Australia for appropriate quality care,” Dr Bartone said. “This week’s alarming Médecins Sans Frontières report on the health of detainees on Nauru was another signal that urgent action is needed. “This is a health and human rights issue of the highest order. We must do the right thing. “The amended Phelps bill is an important measure that will allow the temporary transfer to Australia from Nauru and Manus sooner for those in need of urgent care.

    Article No. 7966 Available on www.roymorgan.com Link to Roy Morgan Profiles Wednesday, 8 May 2019 State of the Nation – Election 2019 a ‘photo finish’ by Michele Levine, CEO, Roy Morgan What seemed like a foregone conclusion after the Liberal Party Leadership upheaval late last year has suddenly become a competitive contest between the L-NP Government led by Prime Minister Scott Morrison and the Bill Shorten-led ALP Opposition. After Turnbull was ‘turfed out’ from his job as Prime Minister in August 2018, and replaced by the then largely unknown among the public Scott Morrison, the Roy Morgan Poll showed the ALP two-party preferred vote spiking to what seemed an unbeatable lead with the Federal Election set to be called within the next few months: ALP 58% cf. L-NP 42% (October 2018). Following the leadership change former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull immediately resigned from his E seat of Wentworth causing a by-election in his seat which was won by Independent candidate Dr. Kerryn Phelps and Liberal MP Julia Banks resigned from the Government and joined the cross-bench. At this time the Morrison Government was beset by instability and appeared to be on the verge of collapse at any moment. Many media commentators (from afar) advised new Prime Minister Morrison to call an early Federal Election to put the political uncertainty to rest. As we now know PM Morrison ignored these calls and pledged to take the Government ‘full-term’ until May 2019, which he has done, and the last three Roy Morgan Polls conducted since mid-April 2019 show a very close contest with the ALP just ahead: ALP 51% cf.

  • Marginal Seat Analysis – 2019 Federal Election
    Australian Landscape Architects Vote 2019 Marginal Seat Analysis – 2019 Federal Election Prepared by Daniel Bennett, Fellow, AILA The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) classifies seats based on the percentage margin won on a ‘two candidate preferred’ basis, which creates a calculation for the swing to change hands. Further, the AEC classify seats based on the following terms: • Marginal (less than 6% swing or 56% of the vote) • Fairly safe (between 6-10% swing or 56-60% of the vote) • Safe (more than 10% swing required and more than 60% of the vote) As an ardent follower of all elections, I offer the following analysis to assist AILA in preparing pre- election materials and perhaps where to focus efforts. As the current Government is a Coalition of the Liberal and National Party, my focus is on the fairly reliable (yet not completely correct) assumption that they have the most to lose and will find it hard to retain the treasury benches. Polls consistently show the Coalition on track to lose from 8 up to 24 seats, which is in plain terms a landslide to the ALP. However polls are just that and have been wrong so many times. So lets focus on what we know. The Marginals. According to the latest analysis by the AEC and the ABC’s Antony Green, the Coalition has 22 marginal seats, there are now 8 cross bench seats, of which 3 are marginal and the ALP have 24 marginal seats. This is a total of 49 marginal seats – a third of all seats! With a new parliament of 151 seats, a new government requires 76 seats to win a majority.
