  • The Australian Labor Party Response
    2 May 2019 Arthur Moses SC President Law Council of Australia GPO Box 1989 CANBERRA ACT 2601 [email protected] Dear Mr Moses Thank you for writing to the Australian Labor Party (ALP), providing your 2019 Federal Election Call to Parties roadmap and requesting our response to the issues raised. We commend the Law Council of Australia on the comprehensive and thoughtful nature of the Call to Parties. Please find below the ALP’s response under each of the broad themes you have identified. This is not all inclusive, and Labor looks forward to continuing to work closely with the Law Council on law reform. Labor has long considered many of the issues identified in the Call to Parties, and we have given attention to many in our National Platform, and in our election commitments to date, the detail of which are incorporated into this response. Access to Justice Labor believes that for Australia to remain a fair and democratic nation, justice must be accessible to all Australians, rather than only to wealthy individuals and companies who can afford to hire lawyers. Labor believes that all Australians, not just the wealthy, should have the right to a fair go under the law. Providing access to justice for all Australians has been a Labor priority for over a generation, when the Whitlam Government established Legal Aid. Since that time, Labor has championed and strengthened the legal assistance sector. Our priority is to strengthen the legal assistance sector, ensuring that all Australians, not just the wealthy, have access to justice. Our policies in this area include: • Expanding the financial rights legal assistance sector from 40 lawyers to 240 lawyers across Australia, using $120 million from the Banking Fairness Fund.

  • Joint Media Release
    THE HON JOSH FRYDENBERG MP Treasurer HON DARREN CHESTER MP Minister for Veterans’ Affairs Minister for Defence Personnel Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Centenary of ANZAC JOINT MEDIA RELEASE 7 April 2019 SEATO BILL RECEIVES ROYAL ASSENT MEMBERS of the Australian civilian surgical and medical teams who provided medical aid, training and treatment to local Vietnamese people during the Vietnam War will gain access to their Department of Veterans’ Affairs Gold Card from 1 July 2019. Minister for Veterans’ Affairs Darren Chester said the Treatment Benefits (Special Access) Bill received Royal Assent on Friday. “From 1 July, additional support will be available for the Australian Civilian Surgical and Medical teams who worked in Vietnam during 1964–72,” Mr Chester said. “Funding of $22.2 million over four years will cover all their medical costs, not just injuries and illnesses that have arisen as a result of their time in Vietnam.” Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said the Australian Government has listened to the concerns of these men and women. “They played a significant part in Australia’s contribution to the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) aid program in South Vietnam between 1964 and 1972, providing medical aid in Vietnamese civilian hospitals and training to local medical staff,” Mr Frydenberg said. During the Vietnam War, about 240 doctors and 210 nurses, and a small number of administrative and technical personnel worked in Vietnam under contract with the then Department of External Affairs. “This measure recognises that while the medical teams were not under the direct command and control of the Australian Defence Force during the Vietnam War, they were exposed to hazards and dangers as a result of working in a conflict zone for the Australian Government,” Mr Chester said.

I love you both to the ends of the earth and am eternally grateful for your tolerance of this project. ii Acknowledgments To my family – Lindsey, you made the greatest sacrifices that allowed this project to come to fruition. You moved away from your family to Michigan. You allowed me to conduct two months of fieldwork when you were pregnant with our daughter. You helped drafts come together and were a constant sounding board and confidant throughout the long process of writing. This would not have been possible without you. Sophia, Poe, and Jo served as motivation for this project and a distraction from it when each was necessary. Mom, Dad, Chad, Max, Julian, and Olivia, as well as Papa Ernie and Grandma Audrey all, helped build the road that I was able to safely walk down in the pursuit of this doctorate. You served as role models, supports, and friends that I could lean on as I grew into my career and adulthood. Lisa, Tony, and Jessica Suarez stepped up to aid Lindsey and me with childcare amid a move, a career transition, and a pandemic.

  • PAUL FLETCHER MP MEMBER for BRADFIELD MINISTER for URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE and CITIES 09 April 2018
    PAUL FLETCHER MP MEMBER FOR BRADFIELD MINISTER FOR URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE AND CITIES 09 April 2018 TRANSCRIPT – ABC RADIO SYDNEY DRIVE WITH RICHARD GLOVER Topics: Newspoll; Circular Quay development; changing nature of art; live export trade RICHARD GLOVER: Monday political forum. Paul Fletcher is the Minister for Urban Infrastructure. He’s the MP for Bradfield. So, if you live in places like Turramurra, Pymble, Lindfield, if the council don’t pick up the bins, please complain to him. I’m sure he’ll come round and do it. Tim Williams, the cities leader now for the design firm Arup. He used to be the boss of the Committee for Sydney. And the writer and public education activist Jane Caro. Good afternoon. JANE CARO: Hello. RICHARD GLOVER: Thank you for coming in. Now, let’s do the 30 Newspolls. Of course, the Prime Minister is said to have failed according to his own benchmark, in that he has today lost 30 Newspolls in a row. Is it a significant marker and is there any public hunger for change at the top, Paul Fletcher? PAUL FLETCHER: Well, there’s certainly- I don’t perceive any public hunger for change at the top, and nor in the party room, I might say. Look, the Prime Minister said, when he was challenging for the leadership, that he wanted to restore good cabinet government. He’s done that. He wanted to provide strong economic leadership. He’s done that over 420,000 new jobs created in the last 12 months. He also referred to 30 Newspolls.

  • Alan Tudge's Contempt Seems to Know No Bounds. Why Is He Still a Minister?
    Alan Tudge’s contempt seems to know no bounds. Why is he still a minister? Scott Morrison has not said a word about why he is maintaining in his cabinet a minister so disgraced. That, too, is a disgrace. MICHAEL BRADLEY OCT 08, 2020 It is fair to conclude that acting Immigration Minister Alan Tudge has a deep contempt for the law. What else could motivate him, when the Federal Court has just declared in explicit terms that he committed one form of contempt (wilful disobedience of court orders), to just double down on what the court may see as another — the one it calls “scandalising the court”? Bear in mind that Tudge’s original contempt was a triple: he refused to comply with an order by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) to release a man from immigration detention, and then ignored orders by two Federal Court judges before finally relenting after five days of maintaining an imprisonment that was completely illegal. Justice Geoffrey Flick of the Federal Court called Tudge’s conduct “disgraceful” and “criminal”, noting that it exposed him to “civil and potentially criminal sanctions, not limited to a proceeding for contempt”. That was a couple of weeks ago; Tudge has not resigned or been sacked. Instead he has been layering on the contempt, telling the ABC that Flick’s findings were “comments by a particular judge, which I strongly reject … We’re looking at our appeal rights, presently.” This seems to be the law according to Tudge: sort of an opt-in thing. As his lawyers had unsuccessfully argued to several judges, his reason for ignoring the AAT’s original order was that he disagreed with it, intended to appeal it and therefore didn’t really need to comply with it.
