  • The Vultures Will Be Hovering Again Soon Enough, As Bill Shorten Begins to Stumble Date September 21, 2015 - 5:58AM
    The vultures will be hovering again soon enough, as Bill Shorten begins to stumble Date September 21, 2015 - 5:58AM Paul Sheehan Sydney Morning Herald columnist Disability deserves its own ministry: Shorten Opposition leader Bill Shorten says he is disappointed Malcolm Turnbull's new ministry does not feature a minister for disability. Courtesy ABC News 24. It is only natural that the vultures will grow hungry again soon. They have become accustomed to kings becoming carrion. In the past 20 years Paul Keating, Kim Beazley, Simon Crean, Mark Latham, Beazley again, John Howard, Brendan Nelson, Malcolm Turnbull, Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard, Rudd again, and now Tony Abbott have all been felled, a procession of change, on average, every 20 months, for 20 years. It shows no sign of slowing. In this context, the Canning by-election could have been called the Cunning by- election. It gave a clear, vindicating victory for Malcolm Turnbull's brazen, lightning coup. So now the vultures will soon be hovering over the obvious loser, Bill Shorten, who made a serious blunder last week that puts him on carrion watch. Having hovered over Abbott for months, the vultures will be riding the political thermals and circling in the sky, watching for Shorten to falter. He just became much more vulnerable. He has never been popular in the opinion polls. He has rarely been impressive in parliament. He was especially unimpressive in the three sitting days leading up to the Canning by-election. On Tuesday, in his first question to the new Prime Minister, Shorten finished

  • What Will a Labor Government Mean for Defence Industry in Australia?
    What will a Labor Government mean for Defence Industry in Australia? Hon Greg Combet AM Opinion polls suggest a change of government in the Australian Federal election in (expected) May 2019. An incoming Labor Government led by Bill Shorten will likely feature Richard Marles as Minister for Defence and Mike Kelly as Assisting Minister for Defence Industry and Support. Jason Clare, a former Minister for Defence Matériel, would likely have influence upon the defence industry portfolio in his potential role as Minister for Trade and Investment. Under a Labor Government, it is possible Shorten would appoint a new Minister for Defence Matériel (as has been an established practice for many years) given the magnitude of expenditure and complexity of the portfolio. Shorten and Marles have been associates since university and have been closely aligned during their trade union and political careers. With extensive practical experience of the Australian industry, Shorten and Marles have a record of working constructively with business leadership. Both have a sound understanding of the role and the significance of defence industry in Australia. Marles, in particular, has a greater interest in national security and strategic issues and would likely concentrate on these in the portfolio and delegate aspects of defence industry to a ministerial colleague. Labor’s defence industry policy was reviewed and adopted during the December 2018 Party National Conference. The policy is consistent with Labor’s approach when it was last in government, reiterating support for: • an Australian defence industry that provides the Australian Defence Force with the necessary capabilities; • sovereign industrial capability where required, specifically identifying naval shipbuilding; • an export focus; • the maximisation of the participation of small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) in defence projects; and • initiatives to develop workforce skills.

  • DPM Teo Calls on Australian Prime Minister
    DPM Teo Calls on Australian Prime Minister 23 Nov 2010 Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence Teo Chee Hean calling on Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard at the Australian Parliament House. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence Teo Chee Hean called on Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard in Canberra today. Both parties reaffirmed the close and broad-based bilateral relations between the two countries, of which the strong and long-standing defence ties are a key pillar. Their meeting also reinforced the political support from both countries for the extensive interactions and cooperation between both armed forces, including the ongoing cooperation in the multinational reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan. During his working visit to Australia, Mr Teo also met with Defence Minister Stephen Smith, Minister for Foreign Affairs Kevin Rudd, Senator John Faulkner, Opposition Leader Tony Abbott, Shadow Minister for Defence David Johnston, Special Minister of State for the Public Service and Integrity Gary Gray, Minister for Indigenous Employment and Economic Development, Minister for Sport, and Minister for Social Housing and Homelessness Honourable Mark Arbib and Chief Government Whip Joel Fitzgibbon. At a joint press conference with Mr Smith yesterday, Mr Teo reiterated Singapore's appreciation of the strong and extensive defence relationship between Singapore and Australia. "We are very grateful for the opportunities that Australia has provided for Singapore to train here in Australia. It 1 has been a great help to us, our training in Shoalwater Bay as well as our flight training in Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Base Pearce in Perth. I have just visited both places and it is going very well, and we are very grateful for the cooperation," said Mr Teo.

  • Hansart Interpreting Hansard Records
    HansART Interpreting Hansard Records THE ENVIRONMENT The following excerpts are taken directly from the Parliament of Australia Hansard records and have not been altered. In using Hansard, please be aware that the standardised style may have changed over time. 1 JOHN HOWARD MP, 1997 MINISTERIAL STATEMENT ON CLIMATE CHANGE Source: Parliament of Australia Since its election the government has addressed the critical issue of global warming in a way that effectively promotes Australia’s national interests. Those interests lie in both protecting Australian jobs and Australian industry whilst ensuring that Australia plays her part in the worldwide effort needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. From the start, we have made it plain that Australia would not accept an unfair share of the burden. We have rejected and will continue to reject mandatory uniform targets which advantage many developed countries to the distinct disadvantage of Australia. We have also made it plain that we are not prepared to see Australian jobs sacrificed and efficient Australian industries, particularly in the resources sector, robbed of their hard-earned, competitive advantage. Moreover, we have persistently stressed the need to involve developing countries as their participation is crucial to any lasting solution to the global warming problem. These principles have guided our approach to the greenhouse gas issue. 2 PETER MCGAURAN MP, 1997, RESPONSE TO A QUESTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE Source: Parliament of Australia I thank the member for Hinkler for his question. Representing, as he does, the city of Gladstone, he has a vital interest in all matters greenhouse. There is a great deal of misinformation and at times hysteria, often deliberately manufactured, about the issue of climate change.

  • I'm Here for an Argument
    I’M HERE FOR AN ARGUMENT WHY BIPARTISANSHIP ON SECURITY MAKES AUSTRALIA LESS SAFE DR ANDREW CARR DISCUSSION PAPER | AUGUST 2017 I’m here for an argument Why bipartisanship on security makes Australia less safe Discussion paper Dr Andrew Carr Senior Lecturer – Strategic & Defence Studies Centre, Australian National University August 2017 I’m here for an argument 1 ABOUT THE AUSTRALIA INSTITUTE The Australia Institute is an independent public policy think tank based in Canberra. It is funded by donations from philanthropic trusts and individuals and commissioned research. We barrack for ideas, not political parties or candidates. Since its launch in 1994, the Institute has carried out highly influential research on a broad range of economic, social and environmental issues. OUR PHILOSOPHY As we begin the 21st century, new dilemmas confront our society and our planet. Unprecedented levels of consumption co-exist with extreme poverty. Through new technology we are more connected than we have ever been, yet civic engagement is declining. Environmental neglect continues despite heightened ecological awareness. A better balance is urgently needed. The Australia Institute’s directors, staff and supporters represent a broad range of views and priorities. What unites us is a belief that through a combination of research and creativity we can promote new solutions and ways of thinking. OUR PURPOSE – ‘RESEARCH THAT MATTERS’ The Institute publishes research that contributes to a more just, sustainable and peaceful society. Our goal is to gather, interpret and communicate evidence in order to both diagnose the problems we face and propose new solutions to tackle them. The Institute is wholly independent and not affiliated with any other organisation.

  • Working Paper 9/2016 October 2016
    Crawford School of Public Policy TTPI Tax and Transfer Policy Institute TTPI - Working Paper 9/2016 October 2016 Dr Diane Kraal Senior Lecturer, Monash Business School Monash University Abstract Newly available archival documents give insight into the Hawke Government (1983-1991) political and consultative processes, which resulted in the Australia’s Petroleum Resource Rent Tax Assessment Act 1987 (Cth). The recently unpacked private papers from 1984 of Dr Craig Emerson (a Ministerial economic advisor at the time of petroleum tax reform) provide a unique perspective into the consultative process via hand-written files, draft reports with annotations, and personal observations. Further, relevant files from the National Archives of Australia reveal the government’s petroleum tax reform discussion papers, media statements, industry responses to the tax, comparative tax modelling and the records of consultative meetings from 1984. This paper draws on these new files to provide a brief narrative and identify the dominant stakeholders in the route to petroleum tax reform for a later more detailed enquiry by the author into the roles of key persons in the progression of resource policy to legislation. This paper is the result of preliminary research into government archival files, which have just been released, at the request of the author. Thus the archival files, as well as the Emerson files, have been accessed for the first time.

  • Inaugural Speech
    INAUGURAL SPEECH The PRESIDENT: I remind honourable members that this is the member's first speech and she should be given all due consideration. Before the honourable member starts, I welcome into my gallery members of the Hon. Rose Jackson's family, including her husband, Sam Crosby, their children, Oscar and Charlotte, her father, Mr Martin Butler, her mother-in-law, Mrs Bronwyn Crosby, and her brother, Joe. I also welcome into the public gallery the Hon. Chris Bowen, member for McMahon in the Australian Parliament. I welcome you all in the House this evening for the member's first speech. The Hon. ROSE JACKSON (18:01): The land we are on is called Eora. The first people here were the Gadigal. In 1909 this Parliament passed the Aborigines Protection Act, which gave legal force to the Aborigines Welfare Board and its wide-ranging control over the lives of Aboriginal people. In doing so, it introduced one of the deepest sources of our national shame by codifying the board's power to remove Aboriginal children from their families. I acknowledge the Gadigal today in this place not as a mere hat tip or commonplace convention but in solemn acknowledgement that the laws that gave the New South Wales Government power to steal the children of Aboriginal families, to take the babies from their mummies, were laws that were made in this very room, in this Parliament House, by our predecessors. The lives and resilience of the Gadigal should serve to inspire and humble us. They should stand as a profound warning: What we do here matters.
