I love you both to the ends of the earth and am eternally grateful for your tolerance of this project. ii Acknowledgments To my family – Lindsey, you made the greatest sacrifices that allowed this project to come to fruition. You moved away from your family to Michigan. You allowed me to conduct two months of fieldwork when you were pregnant with our daughter. You helped drafts come together and were a constant sounding board and confidant throughout the long process of writing. This would not have been possible without you. Sophia, Poe, and Jo served as motivation for this project and a distraction from it when each was necessary. Mom, Dad, Chad, Max, Julian, and Olivia, as well as Papa Ernie and Grandma Audrey all, helped build the road that I was able to safely walk down in the pursuit of this doctorate. You served as role models, supports, and friends that I could lean on as I grew into my career and adulthood. Lisa, Tony, and Jessica Suarez stepped up to aid Lindsey and me with childcare amid a move, a career transition, and a pandemic.

  • NSW LABOR POLITICAL BRIEFING Report from the Administrative
    NSW LABOR POLITICAL BRIEFING Report from the Administrative Committee August 2016 1. VALE CYRIL JOSEPH NETHERY AM Cyril Nethery joined NSW Labor in March 1941 at the age of 21. He was a Lancaster pilot during World War II and was described as compassionate, selfless man. Cyril was heavily involved in his local community through rugby union clubs, as a volunteer firefighter and was passionate about assisting indigenous and underprivileged families through his work at St. Vincent de Paul. Cyril was recognised for his service to the community by being awarded a Member of the Order of Australia medal. Cyril was a long time active member of the Woolooware Branch of the ALP. He was a great supporter of Gough Whitlam’s reforms as he believed in making Australia a better place, taking his children to see Gough at an event in Cronulla. Cyril’s commitment to Labor values was second to none, and he was awarded life membership at State Conference. Cryril died peacefully with his family by his side at the age of 96. He is survived by his wife, Valmarie, and his children who are also strong, Labor supporters. 2. VALE MARGOT LONGWORTH Margot Longworth was a deeply committed and passionate member of NSW Labor for almost 37 years. She was a member of the Newcastle Branch for 19 years from 1979 to 1998, before transferring to the Newcastle City Day Branch where she remained actively involved until her health declined in recent years. Margot held almost every executive position at Newcastle City Day Branch and served with great enthusiasm as a long-time delegate to the Newcastle SEC and FEC.

  • Stubbornly Opposed: Influence of Personal Ideology in Politician's
    Stubbornly Opposed: Influence of personal ideology in politician's speeches on Same Sex Marriage Preliminary and incomplete 2020-09-17 Current Version: http://eamonmcginn.com/papers/Same_Sex_Marriage.pdf. By Eamon McGinn∗ There is an emerging consensus in the empirical literature that politicians' personal ideology play an important role in determin- ing their voting behavior (called `partial convergence'). This is in contrast to Downs' theory of political behavior which suggests con- vergence on the position of the median voter. In this paper I extend recent empirical findings on partial convergence by applying a text- as-data approach to analyse politicians' speech behavior. I analyse the debate in parliament following a recent politically charged mo- ment in Australia | a national vote on same sex marriage (SSM). I use a LASSO model to estimate the degree of support or opposi- tion to SSM in parliamentary speeches. I then measure how speech changed following the SSM vote. I find that Opposers of SSM be- came stronger in their opposition once the results of the SSM na- tional survey were released, regardless of how their electorate voted. The average Opposer increased their opposition by 0.15-0.2 on a scale of 0-1. No consistent and statistically significant change is seen in the behavior of Supporters of SSM. This result indicates that personal ideology played a more significant role in determining changes in speech than did the position of the electorate.

The scheme is designed to provide the public and government decision-makers with visibility of the nature, level and extent of foreign influence on Australia's government and political process. · The scheme does not prevent people or groups from participating in political conversations, expressing views about a government or political party or advocating their political opinions on various platforms. Nor should the scheme deter people from doing so. Rather, the scheme is intended to ensure that the source of the interests being represented through such activities is clear and appropriately disclosed. · The scheme requires people or entities undertaking certain activities on behalf of a foreign principal to register, unless an exemption applies.

  • The House of Representatives Results Ben Raue
    7 The House of Representatives Results Ben Raue At the 2016 Australian federal election, the first-term Liberal–National Coalition government faced a significant swing against it, suffering a net loss of 12 seats. The government managed to win a narrow majority, with just 76 out of 150 seats. This chapter covers the results of the election in the House of Representatives, focusing on key electoral contests, as well as explaining the electoral system used for the House of Representatives, redistributions conducted prior to the elections, by-elections held during the previous term, the number of nominations made for the House of Representatives and the impact of preferences on the election result. Electoral system The House of Representatives is the lower house of Australia’s bicameral parliament. Elections are usually held simultaneously with elections for the upper house (Senate), although Senate elections are conducted using a method of proportional representation. House of Representatives elections are due once every three years. Australia’s House of Representatives consists of 150 members, each elected to represent a single-member constituency. Members are elected using compulsory preferential voting, with voters required to effectively choose preferences between every candidate on the ballot. If no candidate wins more than half of the vote, 159 DOUBLE DISILLUSION the vote for the lowest-polling candidate is redistributed according to the preferences of that candidate’s voters, and this process is repeated until a candidate has a majority of the vote. Due to this preferential voting system, this chapter will refer to the vote for candidates before and after preferences are distributed.

  • Walking the Allergy Tightrope
    PARLIAMENT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA Walking the allergy tightrope Addressing the rise of allergies and anaphylaxis in Australia House of Representatives Standing Committee on Health, Aged Care and Sport May 2020 CANBERRA © Commonwealth of Australia ISBN 978-1-76092-094-4 (Printed Version) ISBN 978-1-76092-095-1 (HTML Version) This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution- NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Australia License. The details of this licence are available on the Creative Commons website: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/au/. Foreword Australia has been called the world’s ‘allergy capital’ because of the increases in rates of allergies and anaphylaxis over the last twenty years. Over four million Australians live with allergies, and for many it is a tightrope to walk every day. As there is essentially no cure for allergies, it has become a significant public health issue - highlighted by the long waiting lists for patients to see allergy specialists throughout Australia. An allergy occurs when a person reacts to a substance in the environment that is harmless to most people. Humans can be allergic to any protein, but some of the more common allergens are found in dust mites, pets, pollen, insects, ticks, moulds, foods and medications. Anaphylaxis is the most severe form of allergic reaction and is life threatening if not immediately treated. Prevalence levels for allergic disease are collated from a range of National Health Surveys, Census data and hospital admissions. However, there is no nationwide data collection to provide accurate statistics on allergic disease to assist future research.
