18 February 2015 the Hon Peter Dutton MP Minister for Immigration
18 February 2015 The Hon Peter Dutton MP Minister for Immigration and Border Protection PO Box 6022 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Dear Minister, I am writing to you out of a sense of frustration and as a last resort in relation to the Joint Review of Border Fees, Charges and Taxes (the Review) which was notified to industry on 7 September 2014. In relation to the Review, the Customs Brokers and Forwarders Council of Australia Inc. (CBFCA) represents its members who in the first instance, are the entities responsible for the payment of any costs, charges and/or taxes levied by the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service (ACBP) in its cost recovery arrangements or by the Department of Agriculture in fee for service delivery. The CBFCA provided a commentary to the Review which is led by the ACBP and has, on a variety of occasions, communicated to the ACBP on issues referenced in discussion papers and industry forums. Correspondence and e-mails to the project lead on particular aspects and concerns as to the Review have failed to elicit any return communication. Not only does this wall of silence not give effect to any appropriate consultation, it fails the key test in stakeholder engagement. There are significant impacts, not only on service providers to international trade logistics and supply chain management, but also to importers of record, and eventually the impact on end consumers as to these charges. Some of the key determinations in the Review also relate to the current public debate on the low value imports driven out of online international sales via e-commerce transactions. -

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. -

Legislative Council
Legislative Council Wednesday, 17 June 2009 THE PRESIDENT (Hon Barry House) took the chair at 4.00 pm, and read prayers. ESTIMATES COMMITTEE HEARINGS — LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL CHAMBER Statements by President THE PRESIDENT (Hon Barry House): I have a couple of brief statements. Firstly, as the estimates hearings are being held in this chamber tomorrow, I request that members ensure that their desks are clear at the close of business tonight. SMOKING BAN — PARLIAMENT HOUSE Statement by President THE PRESIDENT (Hon Barry House): Secondly, the Speaker and I have now had an opportunity to discuss the issue of smoking within Parliament House, and we have agreed to implement a total ban with immediate effect. This prohibition applies to members, staff and visitors while in Parliament House and within 10 metres of any entrance. METROPOLITAN REGION SCHEME AMENDMENT 1153/41 Statement by Leader of the House HON NORMAN MOORE (Mining and Pastoral — Leader of the House) [4.02 pm]: I would like to make a statement on behalf of the Minister for Child Protection representing the Minister for Planning. I present today for tabling metropolitan region scheme amendment 1153/41, which will facilitate the residential development of approximately 127 hectares of land in Caversham. The Department of Planning and Infrastructure and the City of Swan have been working in partnership to coordinate and achieve subregional planning for the Swan urban growth corridor. This amendment consolidates rather than extends the urban zone in this north east corridor, and a number of investigations have been undertaken in support of the amendment. It is proposed that development of the site will follow new urbanism principles of walkability and sustainability.
