  • Introduction to Volume 1 the Senators, the Senate and Australia, 1901–1929 by Harry Evans, Clerk of the Senate 1988–2009
    Introduction to volume 1 The Senators, the Senate and Australia, 1901–1929 By Harry Evans, Clerk of the Senate 1988–2009 Biography may or may not be the key to history, but the biographies of those who served in institutions of government can throw great light on the workings of those institutions. These biographies of Australia’s senators are offered not only because they deal with interesting people, but because they inform an assessment of the Senate as an institution. They also provide insights into the history and identity of Australia. This first volume contains the biographies of senators who completed their service in the Senate in the period 1901 to 1929. This cut-off point involves some inconveniences, one being that it excludes senators who served in that period but who completed their service later. One such senator, George Pearce of Western Australia, was prominent and influential in the period covered but continued to be prominent and influential afterwards, and he is conspicuous by his absence from this volume. A cut-off has to be set, however, and the one chosen has considerable countervailing advantages. The period selected includes the formative years of the Senate, with the addition of a period of its operation as a going concern. The historian would readily see it as a rational first era to select. The historian would also see the era selected as falling naturally into three sub-eras, approximately corresponding to the first three decades of the twentieth century. The first of those decades would probably be called by our historian, in search of a neatly summarising title, The Founders’ Senate, 1901–1910.

  • Caution on the East China Sea October 16 2014
    Caution on the East China Sea October 16 2014 Bob Carr As Australia’s Foreign Minister I had quoted several times an acute observation by Lee Kuan Yew. It was on the question of the future character of China. He said: “Peace and security in the Asia-Pacific will turn on whether China emerges as a xenophobic, chauvinistic force, bitter and hostile to the West because it tried to slow down or abort its development, or whether it is educated and involved in the ways of the world – more cosmopolitan, more internationalised and outward looking." I ceased to be Foreign Minister after the Gillard Government was defeated on September 7, 2013. I was representing Australia at the G20 in St Petersburg. As the polling booths at home closed I found myself in Piskaryovskoye Memorial Cemetery, laying flowers on a memorial to the dead of the Second World War. I found myself reflecting on those mass graves – half a million people buried here – and how trivial it was to be voted out of government in a peacetime election compared to the mighty drama that was played out in St Petersburg between 1941 and 1944. Like any politician I thought about what I would do out of government. In the spirit of that observation by Lee Kuan Yew, I committed to work on the Australia-China relationship, becoming Director of a newly established think tank, the Australia-China Relations Institute at the University of Technology, Sydney. I thought that this would be a good vantage point from which to observe this vast question being played out.

  • Soap Operas, Cenotaphs and Sacred Cows: Countrymindedness and Rural Policy Debate in Australia
    46629 Public Policy Text 6/11/06 1:44 PM Page 23 PUBLIC POLICY VOLUME 1 NUMBER 1 2006 23 – 36 Soap Operas, Cenotaphs and Sacred Cows: countrymindedness and rural policy debate in Australia Linda Courtenay Botterill Australian National University In spite of the fact that Australia is one of the most urbanised countries in the world, our national identity is closely tied to the bush. This paper discusses the pervasiveness of the agrarian myth in Australian culture and the impact this has on rural policy debate. It discusses how countrymindedness manifests itself in twenty- first century Australian culture and what this particular aspect of the national self- image means for discussion about rural policy. The paper argues that there is a reticence to criticise farmers which can insulate farm programs from the levels of scrutiny which apply to other areas of government policy. In June 2005, the National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) announced a Campaign for Australian Agriculture which it believes “through awareness-raising activities and education…can reconnect metropolitan Australians with rural Australia” (NFF 2005). The main impetus for this campaign was the perceived impact of campaigns by groups such as PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) and green groups which present an image of farmers as destroyers of the environment and, as portrayed by PETA, as guilty of animal cruelty. Prior to the announcement of the NFF campaign, the then-Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Warren Truss, spent a significant portion of a speech to the Rural Press Club in Victoria arguing that groups like PETA were damaging the farmer’s image and were misleading urban people about agriculture.

  • Social Media in Australian Federal Elections: Comparing the 2013 And
    Social Media in Australian Federal Elections: Comparing the 2013 and 2016 Campaigns Prof. Axel Bruns, PhD (UQ) Dr. Brenda Moon, PhD (ANU) Digital Media Research Centre Queensland University of Technology Brisbane, Australia [email protected][email protected] The Persistent Instability of Australian Politics Australian federal politics has experienced an unprecedented level of turmoil over the past ten years. Following long periods of stable majorities for the progressive Australian Labor Party (ALP) during 1983-1996 and the conservative Coalition of the Liberal and National Parties during 1996-2007, a landslide win for Labor at the 2007 election did not result in another period of stable government under new Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, but saw him replaced by his deputy Julia Gillard within three years of taking office; Gillard narrowly won the subsequent 2010 federal election and formed a minority government. However, her increasing unpopularity motivated a new Labor leadership challenge that returned Rudd to the Prime Ministership; in this role, Rudd fought the 2013 federal election, losing decisively against populist Liberal leader Tony Abbott. A highly effective, aggressive campaigner against the Rudd/Gillard/Rudd governments, Abbott continued his divisive leadership style in government, quickly undermining his popularity and enabling the resurgence of the Labor opposition. In turn, now the Liberal Party orchestrated a leadership challenge, replacing the socially conservative Abbott with the more moderate Malcolm Turnbull in late 2015. Amid continuing recriminations between Abbott and Turnbull loyalists, Turnbull fought the 2016 election and held on to government with only a one-seat majority in Australia’s 150-seat lower house of parliament.

  • Todd Farrell Thesis
    The Australian Greens: Realignment Revisited in Australia Todd Farrell Submitted in fulfilment for the requirements of the Doctorate of Philosophy Swinburne University of Technology Faculty of Health, Arts and Design School of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities 2020 ii I declare that this thesis does not incorporate without acknowledgement any material previously submitted for a degree in any university or another educational institution and to the best of my knowledge and belief it does not contain any material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made in the text. iii ABSTRACT Scholars have traditionally characterised Australian politics as a stable two-party system that features high levels of partisan identity, robust democratic features and strong electoral institutions (Aitkin 1982; McAllister 2011). However, this characterisation masks substantial recent changes within the Australian party system. Growing dissatisfaction with major parties and shifting political values have altered the partisan contest, especially in the proportionally- represented Senate. This thesis re-examines partisan realignment as an explanation for party system change in Australia. It draws on realignment theory to argue that the emergence and sustained success of the Greens represents a fundamental shift in the Australian party system. Drawing from Australian and international studies on realignment and party system reform, the thesis combines an historical institutionalist analysis of the Australian party system with multiple empirical measurements of Greens partisan and voter support. The historical institutionalist approach demonstrates how the combination of subnational voting mechanisms, distinctly postmaterialist social issues, federal electoral strategy and a weakened Labor party have driven a realignment on the centre-left of Australian politics substantial enough to transform the Senate party system.
