  • The Hon. Mr Tim Pallas, MP Treasurer of Victoria Level 4, 1 Treasury Place East Melbourne, VIC 3002
    8th April 2020 The Hon. Mr Tim Pallas, MP Treasurer of Victoria Level 4, 1 Treasury Place East Melbourne, VIC 3002 Dear Mr Pallas, COVID-19 crisis calls for the abolition of payroll tax We write to you on behalf of the National Electrical and Communications Association (NECA), the peak industry body for Australia’s electrical and communications contracting industry, which employs more than 165,000 workers and delivers an annual turnover in excess of $23 billion. NECA represents the best interests of over 5,200 electrical contracting businesses across all Australian States and Territories. NECA members make an integral contribution to Australia’s economy. Our members are essential from any defining aspect, including connecting hospitals, communities, schools, businesses and infrastructure across the country. From installing solar infrastructure and batteries for households, to connecting solar farms to managing the grid and undertaking millions of hours of electrical work on major infrastructure. The current COVID-19 crisis is having an unprecedent and detrimental effect upon the economy and employment in Victoria. An event which NECA acknowledges is out of the control of Government. However, certain things can be done to ensure the industry remains strong and well positioned post COVID-19. NECA and our members are keen to ensure that we work proactively with Government to restore the economic and employment levels in Victoria. In doing so, employment barriers such as payroll tax must be removed – a mechanism which is within the control of Government. NECA, as well as other industry bodies, are firmly of the view that any form of payroll tax is both counter-intuitive and counter-productive.

  • Water Politics in Victoria: the Impact of Legislative Design, Policy
    Water Politics in Victoria The impact of legislative design, policy objectives and institutional constraints on rural water supply governance Benjamin David Rankin Thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Swinburne Institute for Social Research Faculty of Health, Arts and Design Swinburne University of Technology 2017 i Abstract This thesis explores rural water supply governance in Victoria from its beginnings in the efforts of legislators during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to shape social and economic outcomes by legislative design and maximise developmental objectives in accordance with social liberal perspectives on national development. The thesis is focused on examining the development of Victorian water governance through an institutional lens with an intention to explain how the origins of complex legislative and administrative structures later come to constrain the governance of a policy domain (water supply). Centrally, the argument is concentrated on how the institutional structure comprising rural water supply governance encouraged future water supply endeavours that reinforced the primary objective of irrigated development at the expense of alternate policy trajectories. The foundations of Victoria’s water legislation were initially formulated during the mid-1880s and into the 1890s under the leadership of Alfred Deakin, and again through the efforts of George Swinburne in the decade following federation. Both regarded the introduction of water resources legislation as fundamentally important to ongoing national development, reflecting late nineteenth century colonial perspectives of state initiated assistance to produce social and economic outcomes. The objectives incorporated primarily within the Irrigation Act (1886) and later Water Acts later become integral features of water governance in Victoria, exerting considerable influence over water supply decision making.

  • Larry Anthony
    All in the family: Nationals still moving with times LARRY ANTHONY Cartoon: Eric Lobbecke 12:00AM MARCH 13, 2020 One hundred years is an amazing record and what better way to tell the story of the Nationals than through the eyes of one family that has been involved from the start, the Anthonys. My family’s parliamentary representation spans 56 years, but our party connections are much older. I want to take you back to some of the great moments of our history and the characters of those times. Our party’s history was shaped during and after the Great War. My grandfather, Hubert Lawrence Anthony, was 18 years old and recovering from war wounds received in Gallipoli when he was visited by prime minister Billy Hughes in London. This left a lasting impression, and was to plant the seeds of his political ambition. HL Anthony was elected to parliament as the member for Richmond, NSW, in October 1937 and entered the ministry in 1940. His wife, my father Doug’s mother, died unexpectedly in 1941 when Doug was 12. The boy was sent to boarding school and spent many school holidays living with his father at the Kurrajong Hotel in Canberra and with the run of Parliament House. “That was my playground — the parliament,’’ he’d tell us. “I used to rollerskate around the lower floors of Parliament House and could virtually go anywhere in the building … I could go up to the prime minister’s office, where I knew the staff, many of them living in the Kurrajong Hotel.” It was a handy grounding.

ISBN 0 7311 5984 5 Front endpaper: Audit Office staff, 1907. Back endpaper: Audit Office staff, 2001. iii Foreword he year 2001 assumed much significance for the Victorian Auditor-General’s Office as Tit marked the 150th anniversary of the appointment in July 1851 of the first Victorian Auditor-General, Charles Hotson Ebden. In commemoration of this major occasion, we decided to commission a history of the 150 years of the Office and appointed Dr Peter Yule, to carry out this task. The product of the work of Peter Yule is a highly informative account of the Office over the 150 year period. Peter has skilfully analysed the personalities and key events that have characterised the functioning of the Office and indeed much of the Victorian public sector over the years. His book will be fascinating reading to anyone interested in the development of public accountability in this State and of the forces of change that have progressively impacted on the powers and responsibilities of Auditors-General. Peter Yule was ably assisted by Geoff Burrows (Associate Professor in Accounting, University of Melbourne) who, together with Graham Hamilton (former Deputy Auditor- General), provided quality external advice during the course of the project.
