  • An Inquiry Into the Politics of Rural Water Allocations in Victoria
    Watershed or Water Shared? An Inquiry into the Politics of Rural Water Allocations in Victoria Submitted in fulfillment of the requirement of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Barry Hancock May 2010 Well, you see Willard … In this war, things get confused out there - power, ideals, the old morality and practical military necessity. Out there with these natives it must be a temptation to be good because there's a conflict in every human heart between the rational and the irrational, between good and evil. The good does not always triumph. Sometimes the dark side overcomes what Lincoln called the better angels of our nature. Every man has got a breaking point – both you and I have. Walter Kurtz has reached his. And very obviously, he has gone insane (Apocalypse Now). ii Abstract This thesis explores the politics associated with rural water reform in Victoria. The specific focus of the thesis is on the period from 1980 through to the time of submission in May 2010. During this period, the rural water sector has undergone radical reform in Victoria. Initially, reforms were driven by a desire to improve the operational efficiency of the State’s rural water sector. With the growing realisation that water extractions were pressing against the limits of sustainable yield, the focus of the reform agenda shifted to increasing the economic efficiency derived from every megalitre of water. By early 2000, the focus of the rural water reform changed as prolonged drought impacted on the reliability of water supply for the irrigation community. The objective of the latest round of reforms was to improve the efficiency of water usage as the scarcity became more acute.

  • The Celebrated Contest Over Indi and the Fate of the Independents
    16. The Contest for Rural Representation: The celebrated contest over Indi and the fate of the independents Jennifer Curtin and Brian Costar Over the past decade, independent parliamentarians have become a recurring feature of Australian federal politics (and elsewhere). This has sparked speculation about the extent to which independents represent a permanent challenge to the stability of two-party-dominant systems, both in Australia and internationally.1 At the state level, independents have regularly held the balance of power and federally, in the Senate, there have been occasions when independents as well as minor parties have shared the title of power broker. Consequently, over the past 20 years there has been occasional scholarly debate over whether the vote for ‘other’ parties represents a fragmentation of the two-party system and a decline in the strength of party identification as a key determinant of voting behaviour.2 Yet survey data still tell us that around 80 per cent of voters continue to identify as either Labor or Liberal and such loyalty sets Australia apart from many of its contemporaries (Bean and McAllister 2012). This suggests that independents may indeed be just a passing phase for momentarily disaffected voters. Yet the historic hung parliament election of 2010 ensured independents took centre stage in a way not seen federally since 1940. Although the percentage of party identifiers remained solid in 2010, with the combined primary vote for the Labor and the Coalition parties at 81 per cent and only 2.5 per cent of voters opting for independents (Brent 2013), support for the latter was sufficiently concentrated in key electorates to return three sitting rural independents (Bob Katter, Rob Oakeshott and Tony Windsor) and elect one other from Tasmania (Andrew Wilkie).

  • POLITICS and GOVERNMENT God Under Howard How the Religious
    Bh0946M-PressProofs.QX5 1/12/04 4:02 PM Page i Bookhouse (Simon) ‘God is working for the Liberal Party and this fine, disturbing book arrives just in time to tell us how. Marion Maddox’s world is the political territory that lies neglected beneath the secular radar of this country. God Under Howard breaks the codes and tracks the Bible Belt strategies John Howard has brought from the US to advance his cause. The result is an eye-opening exploration of the real politics of Australia.’ David Marr ‘Marion Maddox rightly says, “We do Australia’s soul no service by forcing religion out of visible public life into unanalysed undercurrents”. She brings us a convincing and disturbing picture of the capacity of John Howard, and some of his friends, to co-opt God for their own political agenda. Perhaps the ultimate irony is that, when mainstream church leaders try to enter the discussion and reclaim the God they represent, Howard in effect tells them to “stop meddling” while at the same time taking advantage of what he sees as their capacity to deliver cheap welfare. This is an academically responsible but very readable book—one which should alert us all to significant dimensions of political cunning.’ Dorothy McRae-McMahon Retired Uniting Church Minister and Co-editor of the South Sydney Herald ‘There is no doubt that your childhood religious instruction underwrites your attitudes and prejudices for much of the rest of your life, but I am staggered at how these values can easily get lost in public life. Marion Maddox has attempted to do the impossible

    Absence ofMinister 20 March 1986 ASSEMBLY 449 Thursday, 20 March 1986 The SPEAKER (the Hon. C. T. Edmunds) took the chair at 10.35 a.m. and read the prayer. ABSENCE OF MINISTER The SPEAKER-Order! I advise the House that the Minister for Transport is interstate and will be absent from this sitting of the House. QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE STATE FRINGE BENEFIT TAX LIABILITY Mr DELZOPPO (Narracan)-In the absence of the Minister for Property and Services, I direct my question to the Treasurer. Will the Treasurer inform the House what will be the Victonan Government's 1986-87 Commonwealth fringe benefit tax liability in respect of State public sector employee housing, if tenants of these residences are not charged market rents? Mr JOLLY (Treasurer)-The calculation of the liability depends on the number of employees in the public sector who are in that position at the time the legislation is passed in Federal Parliament. The Government will make the appropriate calculations once the legislation is passed and will examine how many people are in that position. FRINGE BENEFIT TAX ON MOTOR VEHICLES Mr ROSS-EDWARDS (Leader of the National Party)-I refer the Treasurer to the recent discussions and negotiations that have taken place between the Federal Treasurer and the Premier of South Australia regarding the fringe benefit tax on motor vehicles that are used partly for private and business purposes and the effect that the fringe benefit tax will have on the motor industry in South Australia. Has the Treasurer had discussions with either the Federal Treasurer or other members of the Federal Government about the effect that the fringe benefit tax on motor vehicles will have on the Victorian motor industry? If the Treasurer has had discussions, could he advise the House of the outcome of those negotiations? Mr JOLLY (Treasurer)-As honourable members would be aware, when the new tax package was announced by the Federal Government, both the Premier and I expressed concern at the effects that it would have on the motor vehicle industry.
