  • Policy Life Cycle Analysis of Three Australian State-Level Public

Ltd. and SAGE Australian State-level Reprints and permissions: in.sagepub.com/journals-permissions-india Public Policies: DOI: 10.1177/2455133321998805 Exploring the journals.sagepub.com/home/jdp Political Dimension of Sustainable Development Kuntal Goswami1,2 and Rolf Gerritsen1 Abstract This article analyses the life cycle of three Australian public policies (Tasmania Together [TT], South Australia’s Strategic Plan [SASP,] and Western Australia’s State Sustainability Strategy [WA’s SSS]). These policies were formulated at the state level and were structured around sustainable development concepts (the environmental, economic, and social dimensions). This study highlights contexts that led to the making of these public policies, as well as factors that led to their discontinuation. The case studies are based on analysis of parliamentary debates, state governments’ budget reports, public agencies’ annual reports, government media releases, and stakeholders’ feedback. The empirical findings highlight the importance of understanding the political dimension of sustainable development. This fact highlights the need to look beyond the traditional three-dimensional view of sustainability when assessing the success (or lack thereof) of sustainable development policies. Equally important, the analysis indicates that despite these policies’ limited success (and even one of these policies not being implemented at all), sustainability policies can have a legacy beyond their life cycle. Hence, the evaluation of these policies is likely to provide insight into the process of policymaking. 1 Charles Darwin University (CDU), Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia. 2 Australian Centre for Sustainable Development Research & Innovation (ACSDRI), Adelaide, South Australia, Australia.

  • Sixteen Years of Labor Government in South Australia, 2002-2018
    AUSTRALASIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW Parliament in the Periphery: Sixteen Years of Labor Government in South Australia, 2002-2018* Mark Dean Research Associate, Australian Industrial Transformation Institute, Flinders University of South Australia * Double-blind reviewed article. Abstract This article examines the sixteen years of Labor government in South Australia from 2002 to 2018. With reference to industry policy and strategy in the context of deindustrialisation, it analyses the impact and implications of policy choices made under Premiers Mike Rann and Jay Weatherill in attempts to progress South Australia beyond its growing status as a ‘rustbelt state’. Previous research has shown how, despite half of Labor’s term in office as a minority government and Rann’s apparent disregard for the Parliament, the executive’s ‘third way’ brand of policymaking was a powerful force in shaping the State’s development. This article approaches this contention from a new perspective to suggest that although this approach produced innovative policy outcomes, these were a vehicle for neo-liberal transformations to the State’s institutions. In strategically avoiding much legislative scrutiny, the Rann and Weatherill governments’ brand of policymaking was arguably unable to produce a coordinated response to South Australia’s deindustrialisation in a State historically shaped by more interventionist government and a clear role for the legislature. In undermining public services and hollowing out policy, the Rann and Wethearill governments reflected the path dependency of responses to earlier neo-liberal reforms, further entrenching neo-liberal responses to social and economic crisis and aiding a smooth transition to Liberal government in 2018. INTRODUCTION For sixteen years, from March 2002 to March 2018, South Australia was governed by the Labor Party.

    Doc. 102 RELEASED UNDER FREEDOM OF INFORMATION RELEASED UNDER FREEDOM OF INFORMATION RELEASED UNDER FREEDOM OF INFORMATION RELEASED UNDER FREEDOM OF INFORMATION RELEASED UNDER FREEDOM OF INFORMATION Doc. 103 There is mounting evidence that the coldest minima measured by the Bureau’s weather stations have not been entered into ADAM (Australian Data Archive for Meteorology). This is because of limits placed on the recording of temperatures below minus 10 degrees Celsius. The Bureau has not prevented the coldest minimum temperatures from being entered into the national data base. There are standard quality control measures applied to extreme temperatures to verify that they are real, and not the result of an error in the observing system (such as may be due to instrumental error or errors in the transmission of the data to the Bureau). This process is analogously applied to rainfall and other meteorological observations, since experience has shown that extreme values should be subject to verification. This is additional to the Bureau closing stations in cold locations, for example Charlotte Pass – while opening new stations in hot places. The Bureau’s method for analysing Australian temperature trends accounts for changes in the observing network over time. The network changes for a range of reasons. For example, during the early period of record, observations expanded with the settlement of the continent. More recently, changing infrastructure requirements has led to a shift in the siting of some instruments. The process of accounting for these changes has been independently reviewed by a panel of international experts and through the recent Technical Advisory Forum.

But his historic victory, in fact, resulted from the inception and steady growth of a determined and well-organised local labor movement – one that owed much of its origins to the zeal of Cornish copper miners who settled in the Mid North and on Yorke Peninsula during the early decades of the colony. As Philip Payton explains in this meticulously researched and superbly told story, among the many cultural traditions the Cornish brought with them was a belief in education and self-improvement, a deep devotion to the Methodist faith and an oftentimes fiery attachment to radical politics. In their vii adopted home of South Australia, these traits helped create an embryonic trade union movement and, in turn, led to the formation of the forerunner of today’s Labor Party.
