    POL.9100.0001.0616_0001 Dear Commissioner, WHEREAS Australia has one of the strongest and most stable banking, superannuation and financial services industries in the world, which performs critical roles in pinning under the Australian economy, yielding profit for the Money Power, shareholders and their acolytes and burdening the citizens of Australia who have little choice but to use this industry. A banking industry serving the prophesied "Banana Republic" with its demolished productive sector AND a superannuation industry from which said acolytes may siphon AND a financial services industry boasting speculation which dwarfs that of the "Pokie Nation", non-banking speculative sector. AND Australia's banking system is systemically strong and applies this strength in concealing its speculative activities and squashing what is left of the productive sector under internationally recognised and world's best prudential regulation and oversight on behalf of the Money Power. AND most Australians are consumers of banking, superannuation and other financial services. The superannuation system alone has created more than a $2 trillion retirement savings pool. AND this superannuation continues to grow rapidly and compels all working Australians to defer income today for their retirement, which most may never see because of siphoning mentioned earlier. AND to fulfil the prophesied end of "the age of entitlement" all banking entities are being protected by Too-Big-To-Fail status, able to be propped up at all cost regardless of detriment to individual citizens (through 100% bail-in of 100% of financial instruments by APRA) and the collective Australian public (through bailout by the Australian Government) so that further the prophesy may be fulfilled that "the poorest people either don't have cars or actually don't drive very far in many cases".

  • 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.

  • Understanding and Combating Russian and Chinese Influence Operations by Carolyn Kenney, Max Bergmann, and James Lamond February 28, 2019
    Understanding and Combating Russian and Chinese Influence Operations By Carolyn Kenney, Max Bergmann, and James Lamond February 28, 2019 Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential elections has focused American attention on the long-standing and complicated subject of malign foreign influence operations. While Russia has brought this issue into the mainstream political conversa- tion, concerns over the ability of foreign nations—particularly autocracies—to exploit the openness of America’s democracy in order to influence U.S. policy and politics are not confined to any single foreign actor. In fact, influence efforts by Iran and Persian Gulf monarchies have also drawn considerable scrutiny, as have those carried out by China.1 Yet when considering offenders’ capabilities and positions as geopolitical com- petitors, China and Russia stand out as the two most immediate concerns. While foreign influence operations are not new, the convergence of three larger global trends has made them a more important and acute challenge. The first trend is the re-emergence of geopolitical great power competition, which is why the United States’ renewed attention on foreign influence should focus primarily on the country’s great- est geopolitical adversaries—Russia and China.2 However, Russia and China are also bolstered geopolitically by the second trend: the rise of nationalism and authoritarian- ism around the world, particularly in democracies, which is a driving force behind the unfortunate return of great power competition. Authoritarian regimes have seized on a series of setbacks within liberal democracies to bolster the image of alternative autocratic models of political and economic governance on a global scale.3 In addition, auto- cratic regimes have exploited the openness of liberal democratic societies to influence and undermine democracy.

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.

  • Testimony Before the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission
    Testimony before the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission China’s Belt and Road Initiative: Five Years Later Regional Reactions and Competing Visions 25 January 2018 Tobias Harris Vice President, Teneo Intelligence Economy, Trade, and Business Fellow, Sasakawa Peace Foundation USA Introduction Thank you for giving me the opportunity to testify before the U.S.-China Economic Security Review Commission today on the subject of regional reactions to China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). China’s USD 1tn program of infrastructure investment presents opportunities for its sixty-five member countries to develop, while also raising risks of over-dependence on Chinese investment, unsustainable borrowing, and high environmental and social costs for host nations.1 The risks and opportunities of the BRI extend even to Asia’s developed democracies, which already have complex economic relationships with China and interests in promoting development across Asia. In my remarks today I will focus on how Japan – which is in the process of developing a strategy of limited engagement with the BRI – has responded to the BRI, touching briefly on Australia to show some of the difficulties presented by the BRI. The Japanese case is particularly instructive because it shows that on the one hand, building a positive relationship with China may increasingly require engagement with the BRI in some form, while, on the other hand, showing that it is possible and even necessary for Asia’s wealthier democracies to pursue their own development strategies to help BRI members minimize their dependence on China and maximize their freedom of action. Japan may not be able to match China’s promises dollar for dollar, but through its willingness to increase its lending, loosen rules and implement other reforms to its foreign assistance institutions, and to promote private investment by Japanese companies Tokyo has arguably outlined a possible response to the BRI even as it considers participating in the BRI.

  • You Can't Be What You Can't See— Women
    Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory 49th Presiding Officers and Clerks Conference Wellington, New Zealand 8-13 July 2018 You can’t be what you can’t see— Women in the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory Paper to be presented by Joy Burch, MLA, Speaker of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory Page 1 of 10 ‘Any way you look at it there are many, many women who are capable of that job of leadership and making an impact at every level of government and I think we should see more”1 “Women in politics do make a difference and they can change people’s perceptions of politics – they also change the structural discrimination of old-style political systems and parliamentary conventions”2 1 Rosemary Follett, ‘Rosemary Follett and Kate Carnell reunited to sight sexism in politics’ Canberra Times 7th March 2015. 2 Katy Gallagher, ACT Chief Minister, katygallagher.net/blog blog post, 1st October 2014. Page 2 of 10 Introduction Women have played an important and prominent role in the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory since its establishment in 1989. The ACT was the first state or territory to have a woman as its Head of Government. In the Second Assembly, the positions of Speaker, Chief Minister and Leader of the Opposition were all held by women. Perhaps most significantly, at the Territory election for the Ninth Assembly in 2016, thirteen women were elected to the Assembly. It was the first time in Australian history that a majority of women had been elected to a parliament and one of the first jurisdictions in the world to have done so.3 It was also notable that the voters of the ACT returned this result even though only 36 percent of the total 140 candidates that stood for election were women.
