  • News and Notes 1
    Autumn 2001 News and Notes 1 News and notes Although this is a magazine with a new name and a new cover, Australasian Parliamentary Review is very much the successor of Legislative Studies . It will maintain the volume sequence of its forerunner. The cover, though new, is recognisably similar to that of its predecessor. The practice of alternating the traditional parliamentary colours of red and green will continue. The early editors of Legislative Studies had the difficult task of simply establishing the magazine and attracting sufficient articles to support publication on a twice-yearly basis. The recent editors have made notable progress in building its reputation as an academic publication, with supporting procedures for appraisal and peer review of articles. Most new editors, on appointment, have various ambitions for development of a magazine during their time in the chair. My aims are to build a strong review section dealing with publications about parliament and legislative processes, and also about constitutional, electoral, accountability and ethical matters relevant to political life and the workings of parliaments. Scrutiny of government will be a prominent theme. Likewise, political history and biography will have a recognised place in APR coverage. Another objective of APR will be to provide prompt reports on recent events of major significance. The aim will be to reach beyond the type of coverage available in newspapers. For this reason it is intended to include reports on general elections for parliaments in the various jurisdictions covered by the readership of APR and, where possible, elsewhere. In this number, for instance, not only has it been possible to secure analyses of the Western Australian and Queensland state elections, there is also an on- the-spot report from Jerusalem on the recent prime ministerial election in Israel as well commentary on electoral aspects of Fiji’s political troubles.

  • Disorderly Conduct in the House of Representatives from 1901 to 2013
    RESEARCH PAPER, 2013–14 11 DECEMBER 2013 ‘That’s it, you’re out’: disorderly conduct in the House of Representatives from 1901 to 2013 Rob Lundie Politics and Public Administration Executive summary • Of the 1,093 members who have served in the House of Representatives from 1901 to the end of the 43rd Parliament in August 2013, 300 (27.4%) have been named and/or suspended or ‘sin binned’ for disorderly behaviour in the Chamber. This study outlines the bases of the House’s authority to deal with disorderly behaviour, and the procedures available to the Speaker to act on such behaviour. It then analyses the 1,352 instances of disorderly behaviour identified in the official Hansard record with a view to identifying patterns over time, and the extent and degree of such behaviour. It does not attempt to identify the reasons why disorderly behaviour occurs as they are quite complex and beyond the scope of this paper. • The authority for the rules of conduct in the House of Representatives is derived from the Australian Constitution. The members themselves have broad responsibility for their behaviour in the House. However, it is the role of the Speaker or the occupier of the Chair to ensure that order is maintained during parliamentary proceedings. This responsibility is derived from the standing orders. Since its introduction in 1994, the ‘sin bin’ has become the disciplinary action of choice for Speakers. • With the number of namings and suspensions decreasing in recent years, the ‘sin bin’ (being ordered from the chamber for one hour) appears to have been successful in avoiding the disruption caused by the naming and suspension procedure.

  • SPEAKERSHIP the Hon Tony Smith MP, Speaker of the House of Representatives
    THE AUSTRALIAN SPEAKERSHIP The Hon Tony Smith MP, Speaker of the House of Representatives Speech to the 48th Annual Conference of Presiding Officers and Clerks Sydney, 5 July 2017 The Australian Speakership reflects its origins from Westminster, where the first Speaker to the United Kingdom House of Commons to be so designated was Sir Thomas Hungerford in 1377. Our first Speaker was Sir Frederick Holder, a former teacher, journalist, local Mayor and state Member of Parliament from South Australia. Upon his election to the role in 1901, Holder remarked: “I am quite sure that though honourable members will have to express their deep and earnest convictions on the various matters that come before the House they will express them with due respect to our standing orders. I rely, as I am sure I have a right to rely, upon the earnest support and assistance of every member of this House to assist me in maintaining order according to our regulations.” These sentiments were very well said and are as relevant today to the role of Speaker as they were in 1901. Unfortunately for Speaker Holder, he was to pass away 8 years later following a particularly challenging sitting marked by bitterness and unruly scenes, again not unusual these days in terms of the challenge of the sitting. The Australian Speakership has evolved in a unique way, and now differs significantly from its heritance through the office of the Speaker of the House of Commons. From the beginning, the traditions of the Australian speakership could be distinguished from those of Westminster and the colonies which became the Commonwealth of Australia.

Apart from any fair dealing for the purposes of study, research, criticism, review, or as otherwise permitted under the Copyright Act, no part may be reproduced by any process without written permission. Inquiries should be made to the publisher. Typeset, printed & bound by Southwood Press Pty Limited 80-92 Chapel Street, Marrickville, NSW For the publisher Sydney University Law School Phillip Street, Sydney ISBN 0 909777 22 5 Preface 1990 marks the Centenary of the Law School. Technically the Centenary of the Faculty of Law occurred in 1957, 100 years after the Faculty was formally established by the new University. In that sense, Sydney joins Melbourne as the two oldest law faculties in Australia. But, even less than the law itself, a law school is not just words on paper; it is people relating to each other, students and their teachers. Effectively the Faculty began its teaching existence in 1890. In that year the first full time Professor, Pitt Cobbett was appointed. Thus, and appropriately, the Law School celebrated its centenary in 1990, 33 years after the Faculty might have done. In addition to a formal structure, a law school needs a substantial one, stone, bricks and mortar in better architectural days, but if pressed to it, pre-stressed concrete. In its first century, as these chapters recount, the School was rather peripatetic — as if on circuit around Phillip Street.

  • Disorderly Conduct in the House of Representatives from 1901 to 2016
    RESEARCH PAPER SERIES, 2016–17 22 DECEMBER 2016 ‘That's it, you’re out’: disorderly conduct in the House of Representatives from 1901 to 2016 Rob Lundie Politics and Public Administration Executive summary • Of the 1,136 members who have served in the House of Representatives from 1901 to the end of the 44th Parliament in May 2016, 329 (30 per cent) have been penalised for disorderly behaviour in the Chamber. This study outlines the bases of the House’s authority to deal with disorderly behaviour, and the procedures available to the Speaker to act on such behaviour. It then analyses the 1,876 instances of disorderly behaviour identified in the official Hansard record with a view to identifying patterns over time, and the extent and degree of such behaviour. • The authority for the rules of conduct in the House of Representatives is derived from the Australian Constitution. Members themselves have broad responsibility for their behaviour in the House.

The sin bin appears to have been successful in avoiding the disruption caused by the naming and suspension procedure. However, as the number of sin bin sanctions has increased, it may be that this penalty has contributed to greater disorder because members may view it as little more than a slap on the wrist and of little deterrent value.
