  • 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 Hon Andrew Broad MP Assistant Minister to the Deputy Prime Minister Federal Member for Mallee Ref: MS 18-003156 Senator John Williams Chair Senate Standing Committee on Regulations and Ordinances Parliament House CANBERRA ACT 2600 Dear Senator Williams Vehicle Standards (Australian Design Rule 23/03, 42/05, 90/00, 91/00, 93/00, 94/00, 95/00 and 96/00) I refer to the letter of29 November 2018 from the Secretary of the Senate Standing Committee on Regulations and Ordinances (the Committee) regarding Vehicle Standards Determinations (Australian Design Rules (ADRs) 23/03, 42/05, 90/00, 91/00, 93/00, 94/00, 95/00 and 96/00). The Committee has requested further information from me about scrutiny issues identified in relation to these Determinations. I would like to provide the following advice to the Committee in response to these issues raised in paragraph 1.27 of the Delegated Legislation Monitor No. 14 of 2018. I appreciate the Committee's concerns about access for documents incorporated by reference into legislative instruments. In this respect, the majority of the AD Rs listed above offer alternative pathways to comply with the ADRs, which do not require the use of the incorporated documents or standards. For example, ADR 90/00 has two alternatives for compliance, including Paragraph 5 which provides an option that does not require the use of incorporated documents or external standards. Similar arrangements apply to ADRs 91/00, 92/00, 93/00, 94/00 and 95/00. You would be aware that the Committee that the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Industry and Skills Council is currently exploring how the accessibility and pricing of standards could be improved, particularly those referenced in legislation.
