  • Senate Crossbench Background 2016

    Senate Crossbench Background 2016

    Barton Deakin Brief: Senate Crossbench 4 August 2016 The 2016 federal election resulted in a large number of Senators elected that were not members of the two major parties. Senators and Members of the House of Representatives who are not part of the Coalition Government or the Labor Opposition are referred to collectively as the Senate ‘crossbench’. This Barton Deakin Brief outlines the policy positions of the various minor parties that constitute the crossbench. Background Due to the six year terms of Senators, at a normal election (held every three years) only 38 of the Senate’s 76 seats are voted on. As the 2016 federal election was a double dissolution election, all 76 seats were contested. To pass legislation a Government needs 39 votes in the Senate. As the Coalition won just 30 seats it will have to rely on the support of minor parties and independents to pass legislation when it is opposed by Labor. Since the introduction of new voting reforms in the Senate, minor parties can no longer rely on the redistribution of above-the-line votes according to preference flows to satisfy the 14.3% quota (or, in the case of a double dissolution, 7.7%) needed to win a seat in Senate elections. The new Senate voting reforms allowed voters to control their preferences by numbering all candidates above the line, thereby reducing the effectiveness of preference deals that have previously resulted in Senators being elected with a small fraction of the primary vote.

    24 April 2018 Mr Grant Hehir Auditor-General Australian National

    PARLIAMENT OF AUSTRALIA 24 April 2018 Mr Grant Hehir Auditor-General Australian National Audit Office 19 National Circuit Barton ACT 2600 By email: [email protected] Dear Auditor-General Allegations concerning the Murray-Darling Basin Plan We refer to the allegations raised in analysis by The Australia Institute (enclosed) and various media reports relating to the purchases of water for environmental flows in the Murray-Darling Basin. The analysis and reports allege that the Department of Agriculture and Resources, which manages the purchase of water, significantly overpaid vendors for water in the Warrego catchment, Tandou and the Condamine-Balonne Valley. If true, this would mean that the Federal Government has not achieved value-for-money for the taxpayer in executing the Murray-Darling Basin Plan. Accordingly, we ask you to investigate these allegations and any other matter you consider relevant arising out of the analysis conducted by The Australia Institute including, but not limited to, all purchases of water by the Commonwealth to ensure they have met the requirements of the Commonwealth Procurement Rules. Yours sincerely, Rex Patrick Stirling Griff Rebekha Sharkie MP Senator for South Australia Senator for South Australia Member for Mayo Sarah Hanson-Young The Hon. Tony Burke Cory Bernardi Senator for South Australia Member for Watson Senator for South Australia PO Box 6100, Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 That’s not how you haggle…. Commonwealth water purchasing in the Condamine Balonne The Australian Government bought 29 gigalitres of water for $80m in the Condamine-Balonne valley. The vendors originally insisted on $2,200 per megalitre.

  • Winning Respect@Work on Monday 9 August, the ACTU Provided a Briefing Regarding the Respect@ Work Bill

    Winning Respect@Work on Monday 9 August, the ACTU Provided a Briefing Regarding the Respect@ Work Bill

    Winning Respect@Work On Monday 9 August, the ACTU provided a briefing regarding the Respect@ Work Bill. Unionists have been called to action. Background Every day unions support members who have been sexually harassed at work According to the Australian Unions survey undertaken in 2018, two in three women and one in three men have experienced sexual harassment. There is a plan to make work safer, especially for women. The landmark Australian Human Rights Commission Respect@Work report has 55 recommendations to create stronger rights to eliminate sexual harassment. The Federal Government sat on this report for over a year before it was forced to act . It now has a Bill before the Parliament, cherry-picking some recommendations but ignoring the very ones that would make the biggest contribution to ensuring women are safe at work. The Federal Government will put forward the Respect@ Work Bill to Parliament on Wednesday 11 August. Do not be misled by its title. This Bill is a watered-down version of what the AHRC report had recommended. The Bill must be amended to be fit for purpose in four key ways: 1.Amended so that the Fair Work Act prohibits sexual harassment (then it becomes a workplace right and workers’ also have easy access to justice). 2.Amended so the Sex Discrimination Act – it to have ‘positive duties’ where employers are legally obligated to prevent harassment in the workplace, not simply deal with complaints. 3.Amended so the Commissioner can intervene in systemic issues. Sex Discrimination Commissioner can currently only respond to individual complaints; we want the act amended so the Commissioner can intervene in systemic issues.

    Message from the President Hello everyone We will endeavour to bring you interesting stories in this newsletter each month during the current pandemic crisis. Recently, the Management Committee had their first meeting via Zoom (see photo below). A new experience for many. Even though the museum is closed, there are still things to do. In this edition, we pay tribute to our ANZAC heritage with stories of heroism and magnificent feats. We've also given you a glimpse of life in the Redlands in the 1920s. Many of the articles and photos are from e-hive, the Museum's collection database on our website. Take care and stay safe! Tony Spinks ANZAC DAY will still be special By Sandra Davis, volunteer The fact that we shall be commemorating ANZAC DAY in self-isolation, though unfortunate, may not be as difficult or meaningless as some people imagine. After all, the day is one on which we honour and pay our respects to our veterans, both past and present. They have fought in the air, on the sea and on land, many of them enduring and surviving unspeakable hardships - deprivation of liberty, loneliness, disease and starvation, to mention but four. For many of them, their service involved isolation of a kind far different to the one we are experiencing at present. For them this isolation was necessary for their survival, be it in the steamy jungles of Malaya, the burning deserts of Egypt, the frozen steppes of Russia or, worst of all, as prisoners of war. Not for them the comforts of home: food, shelter, the internet and computer.

    Dear Mr McCusker, Please find attached Enhancing Democracy in Western Australia, my submission to the review of the Western Australian Legislative Council electoral system. I am happy for it to be made public. Yours sincerely, Chris Curtis Enhancing Democracy in Western Australia Chris Curtis May 2021 The manufactured hysteria that greeted Ricky Muir’s election to the Senate and that ultimately led to the Turnbull government’s rigging the Senate voting system to favour the Greens over the micro-parties is getting an encore performance with the election of Wilson Tucker in Western Australia, despite the unremarked-upon election in both jurisdictions of many more candidates of major parties from even lower primary votes and with the added twist that most members of the panel established to investigate the matter have already endorsed, even promoted, the hysteria (https://insidestory.org.au/an-affront-to-anyone-who- believes-in-democracy/). While it is clear from this fact that submissions in support of logic and democracy have already been ruled out of consideration, it is worthwhile putting them on the public record for future historians to refer to and so that more reasonable politicians can revisit the issue if the hysteria dies down.
