    \\jciprod01\productn\H\HLS\7-1\HLS102.txt unknown Seq: 1 19-APR-16 15:58 Constitutional Voting Rules of Australian National Sporting Organizations: Comparative Analysis and Principles of Constitutional Design Robert D. Macdonald and Ian M. Ramsay1 Abstract In 2012 and 2013, four Australian national sporting organizations (“NSO’s”)—the Australian Football League, the Australian Rugby League Commission Limited, BA Limited (Basketball Australia) and Football Fed- eration Australia Limited—were also the national league competition orga- nizer (“NLCO”) for their sport. All four NSO’s are not-for-profit companies. We apply the model of optimal voting rules proposed by James Buchanan and Gordon Tullock to the actual voting rules adopted by the NSO’s. This model focuses on the minimization of costs associated with voting. We find that the NSO voting rules largely conform to the model although there are exceptions. In particular, “constitutional issues” (amendment of the NSO’s constitution and company wind up) require the approval of a greater propor- 1 Robert D.

  • 3 Russell Hanson V4
    Tasmanian Legislative Council Select Committee Inquiry into AFL in Tasmania Submission from Russell Hanson 18th June 2019 Because of the history of Tasmanian football, in particular, from the creation of the AFL in 1990, there needs to be an understanding of just what has happened since then; what the AFL has done, or more correctly have not done. My submission therefore will examine the history and recent events with an aim to provide context for the Select Committee. It will also look at current problems and solutions and will examine the future with budgets, economic returns and the way forward. This may not follow precisely the Terms of Reference, but it will incorporate the 7 items throughout. I sincerely hope this will work for you as I believe a better understanding of the issues will become apparent.

AFLPA CEO Paul Marsh welcomed the four players to the Board and thanked Sloane, Wood, Downie and Macmillan for their contributions to the Association. “Firstly, I would like to acknowledge the service provided by the outgoing Board members in Rory, Easton, Jamie and Meg,” Marsh said. “They have all in their own way made outstanding contributions to the Board and represented the members with distinction through one of the most challenging times for players in the history of the game. In particular, I want to thank Jamie and Easton for their enduring service to the PA for nine and eight years respectively, in both delegate and Board roles. “We’re thrilled to have people of the calibre of Neville, Tom, Darcy and Annalyse elected to the Board. They are all influential leaders within their clubs and respected across the competition.

In 2013, Christine Fernon and I edited a history of the dictionary, The ADB’s Story, which covered its first six decades.2 The ADB going online in 2006 then seemed to be the major turning point. At the time, it was the book reproduced online with a search function. The pace of change has quickened, however, since Volume 18 was published in 2012. Above all, the ADB Online now leads the process, with the hardcopy volume being published in its wake, rather than the other way around.
