Salam sejahtera untuk kita semua, Pertemuan Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) ke-137 mengusung tema “Promoting Cultural Pluralism and Peace through Inter-faith and Inter-ethnic Dialogue” diselenggarakan di St. Petersburg, Rusia pada Oktober 2017. Secara global, tema tersebut sangat relevan karena terkait dengan dinamika politik yang terjadi selama tahun 2017. Di Indonesia, tahun politik diwarnai gesekan antarkelompok dan berkembangnya isu-isu SARA. Ini pelajaran berharga, mengingatkan kita semua akan pentingnya keberagaman, toleransi, dan sikap saling menghormati. Sementara itu di dunia internasional, kita dikagetkan oleh konfik yang terjadi di wilayah Rakhine, Myanmar yang menimbulkan ribuan korban jiwa dari etnis Muslim Rohingya dan ratusan ribu pengungsi. Peristiwa tersebut tidak hanya menimbulkan gejolak internasional, tetapi juga menimbulkan keprihatinan masyarakat Indonesia.
  • Let Her Finish: Gender, Sexism, and Deliberative Participation in Australian Senate Estimates Hearings (2006-2015)

    Let Her Finish: Gender, Sexism, and Deliberative Participation in Australian Senate Estimates Hearings (2006-2015)

    Let Her Finish: Gender, Sexism, and Deliberative Participation In Australian Senate Estimates Hearings (2006-2015) Joanna Richards School of Government and Policy Faculty of Business, Government and Law University of Canberra ABSTRACT In 2016, Australia ranks 54th in the world for representation of women in Parliament, with women ​ accounting for only 29% of the House of Representatives, and 39% of the Senate. This inevitably ​ inspires discussion about women in parliament, quotas, and leadership styles. Given the wealth of research which suggests that equal representation does not necessarily guarantee equal treatment, this study focuses on Authoritative representation. That is, the space in between winning a seat and making a difference where components of communication and interaction affect the authority of a speaker.This study combines a Discourse Analysis of the official Hansard transcripts from the Senate Estimates Committee hearings, selected over a 10 year period between 2006 and 2015, with a linguistic ethnography of the Australian Senate to complement results with context. Results show that although female senators and witnesses are certainly in the room, they do not have the same capacity as their male counterparts. Both the access and effectiveness of women in the Senate is limited; not only are they given proportionally less time to speak, but interruption, gate keeping tactics, and the designation of questions significantly different in nature to those directed at men all work to limit female participation in the political domain. As witnesses, empirical measures showed that female testimony was often undermined by senators. Results also showed that female senators and witnesses occasionally adopted masculine styles of communication in an attempt to increase effectiveness in the Senate.

As the world looks to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, access to COVID-19 vaccines is set to further entrench global inequality. More than 85 developing countries will not have widespread access to COVID-19 vaccines before 2023.1 Young, healthy people in rich countries are being vaccinated before frontline workers and at-risk people in poorer countries. The World Health Organisation (WHO) Director-General has warned: “the world is on the brink of a catastrophic moral failure – and the price of this failure will be paid with lives and livelihoods in the world’s poorest countries.” The WTO TRIPS agreement, which entrenches 20 year monopolies on new medicines before cheaper versions can be produced, is preventing the ramping-up of production of affordable vaccine supplies.

  • Northern Territory Election 19 August 2020

    Northern Territory Election 19 August 2020

    Barton Deakin Brief: Northern Territory Election 19 August 2020 Overview The Northern Territory election is scheduled to be held on Saturday 22 August 2020. This election will see the incumbent Labor Party Government led by Michael Gunner seeking to win a second term against the Country Liberal Party Opposition, which lost at the 2016 election. Nearly 40 per cent of Territorians have already cast their vote in pre-polling ahead of the ballot. The ABC’s election analyst Antony Green said that a swing of 3 per cent would deprive the Government of its majority. However, it is not possible to calculate how large the swing against the Government would need to be to prevent a minority government. This Barton Deakin brief provides a snapshot of what to watch in this Territory election on Saturday. Current composition of the Legislative Assembly The Territory has a single Chamber, the Legislative Assembly, which is composed of 25 members. Currently, the Labor Government holds 16 seats (64 per cent), the Country Liberal Party Opposition holds two seats (8 per cent), the Territory Alliance holds three seats (12 per cent), and there are four independents (16 per cent). In late 2018, three members of the Parliamentary Labor Party were dismissed for publicly criticising the Government’s economic management after a report finding that the budget was in “structural deficit”. Former Aboriginal Affairs Minister Ken Vowles, Jeff Collins, and Scott McConnell were dismissed. Mr Vowles later resigned from Parliament and was replaced at a by-election in February 2020 by former Richmond footballer Joel Bowden (Australian Labor Party).

INTRODUCTION This article will look at the way in which new religions were introduced first from Britain and Europe and then later from the United States of America into all island countries of the South Pacific during the nineteenth century. The next part will examine the extent to which the laws of those countries provide freedom of religion and it will then consider certain legal and sociological limitations upon the actual practice of religion in these same countries. The article will conclude by looking to the future and trying to suggest ways to ease the tension that exists between individual freedom to practice the religion of his or her choice and community concern for preserving peace and harmony in the community.
