Anne-Maree Tiernan BA (Australian National University) BComm (Hons) (Griffith University) Department of Politics and Public Policy, Griffith University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2004 Abstract This thesis traces the development of the ministerial staffing system in Australian Commonwealth government from 1972 to the present. It explores four aspects of its contemporary operations that are potentially problematic. These are: the accountability of ministerial staff, their conduct and behaviour, the adequacy of current arrangements for managing and controlling the staff, and their fit within a Westminster-style political system. In the thirty years since its formal introduction by the Whitlam government, the ministerial staffing system has evolved to become a powerful new political institution within the Australian core executive. Its growing importance is reflected in the significant growth in ministerial staff numbers, in their increasing seniority and status, and in the progressive expansion of their role and influence. There is now broad acceptance that ministerial staff play necessary and legitimate roles, assisting overloaded ministers to cope with the unrelenting demands of their jobs. However, recent controversies involving ministerial staff indicate that concerns persist about their accountability, about their role and conduct, and about their impact on the system of advice and support to ministers and prime ministers.

  • Regional Councils of ACFE
    October 2007 Jacinta Allan MP Minister for Skills and Workforce Participation Level 36 121 Exhibition Street Melbourne 3000 Dear Minister, On behalf of the Adult, Community and Further Education (ACFE) Board, I submit the ACFE Board’s annual report for the year ending 30 June 2007, as required by the Financial Management Act 1994 and the Adult Community and Further Education Act 1991. Over the past 12 months the ACFE Board has continued to guide and direct the implementation of the directions outlined in the 2004 Ministerial Statement, Future Directions for Adult Community Education in Victoria. In this third year of implementation of the initiatives outlined in the Statement, much has been achieved in broadening the role of ACE, enhancing the quality and extent of delivery to recognised priority learner groups and ensuring that ACE provision continues to be sustainable. Statistical analysis of training in the ACE sector in 2006 shows that 71% of activity is in accredited programs, 45% of all training is in vocational programs, 25% in literacy and numeracy programs and 14% in employment skills programs. The outcomes for learners and the wider community of ACE participation have been the focus of two major research projects which were completed during the year - the ACE Longitudinal Study and Setting the Scene. The three year study of ACE learners tracked learners and showed that 63% of those studying in ACE who were unemployed in 2004 were employed in 2006. Participation in volunteering activity increased for all students whatever their labour market status from 27.4% in 2004 to 37% in 2006.

  • 2012 Victorian Architecture Awards | Architectureau 2012 Victorian Architecture Awards
    2017­5­15 2012 Victorian Architecture Awards | ArchitectureAU 2012 Victorian Architecture Awards Awards | Words Shelley Penn The Royal Children’s Hospital by Billard Leece Partnership and Bates Smart. Image: John Gollings The 2012 Victorian Architecture Awards were announced at a presentation dinner on 29 June, held at Crown Palladium in Melbourne. Jury comment The 2012 Victorian state awards program has seen a dramatic rise in the number of entries from previous years. The years 2010 and 2011 saw about a 1 percent growth, yet this year there was a 21 percent increase — we received a total of 235 entries. Significant jumps in the categories of Heritage, Residential Alterations and Additions, Residential Multiple and Urban Design were somewhat countered by lowered numbers in Commercial and New Public Architecture — a sign of the times perhaps. Despite economic uncertainty, however, Victorian architects are continuing to deliver outstanding work. Together, the fifty­seven awards and commendations hint, through their breadth and exceptional quality, at the enormous scope of architecture’s contribution to Victorian society and culture. Each entry, from the smallest private intervention to the larger civic projects, reveals the generosity of spirit, innovation and tenacity that underpin excellent architecture. All of the architects who entered projects, who put their work under the glare of peer evaluation and thereby gave us all a glimpse of the great things underway in Victorian architecture, are sincerely thanked. I also thank the jurors, who have contributed substantially to this year’s awards through their time and rigorous consideration — a contribution that is essential to the credibility and distinction that characterize the Institute’s awards programs.
