  • Independents in Federal Parliament: a New Challenge Or a Passing Phase?
    Independents in Federal Parliament: A new challenge or a passing phase? Jennifer Curtin1 Politics Program, School of Political and Social Inquiry Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. [email protected] “Politics just is the game played out by rival parties, and anyone who tries to play politics in some way entirely independent of parties consigns herself to irrelevance.” (Brennan, 1996: xv). The total dominance of Australia’s rival parties has altered since Brennan made this statement. By the time of the 2001 federal election, 29 registered political parties contested seats and while only the three traditional parties secured representation in the House of Representatives (Liberals, Nationals and Labor) three independents were also elected. So could we argue that the “game” has changed? While it is true that government in Australia, both federally and in the states and territories, almost always alternates between the Labor Party and the Liberal Party (the latter more often than not in coalition with the National Party), independent members have been a feature of the parliaments for many years, particularly at the state level (Costar and Curtin, 2004; Moon,1995). Over the last decade or so independents have often been key political players: for a time, they have held the balance of power in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory. More generally, since 1980 an unprecedented 56 independents have served in Australian parliaments. In 2003, 25 of them were still there. This is more than six times the number of independents elected in the 1970s. New South Wales has been the most productive jurisdiction during that time, with fourteen independent members, and Tasmania the least, with only one.

  • Opening Address
    Opening address Andrew Laming MP1 1Federal Member for Bowman, Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Health Services and Indigenous Health Thanks Leigh for kicking off Plenary One ‘Shaping a Bright Rural Future’—I hope as a warm-up act, Jack Snelling and I do ok. Thanks to this year’s conference convenor Marie Lally, to your Conference Advisory committee and the Organising group. And of course the Tutti Choir for your inspiring intro. Distinguished guests, Jack, South Australian Senator David Fawcett, to Australian professional Colleges, most notably ACRRM, NACCHO and AIDA and RACGP, to AGPN, ANF, Allied Health networks, the RFDS; the physios, the psychs and the physios, the Chiros, Pharmacists the Optoms, the Ambos and paramedics, the Rural nurses, Doctors, Dentists, students and health researchers, to the Australian Health and Hospital Association, CRANAPlus, the CWA, Catholic Health Australia, ICPA, the health consumer groups, Rural HWorkforce, and RH Education Foundation, to the health consulting firms, private sector providers. What a perfect weekend in Australia’s most understated capital city, we are celebrating the work of rural, remote and Aboriginal health professionals. For many of you, rural health’s watershed moment was 1991. Many here today recall the Toowoomba Conference when ‘modern’ rural health was born. You’d agree it provided the foundation for what has been two-decades of uninterrupted advance in the status of (and investment in) rural, remote and Aboriginal health. Much of that momentum creation can be traced back to the AHMAC Rural Health Taskforce AND the Rural Health Support E&T program. Given this is a two yearly event this 11th meeting is as close as it gets to a 21st birthday for rural health.
