  • Sixteen Years of Labor Government in South Australia, 2002-2018

    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.

    2016 Bettison & James Oration Greg Mackie 23 October 2016 Adelaide Festival of Ideas Thinking Adelaide: a Passion for Connecting and Collecting It is great to have this opportunity to share with friends, colleagues, and most importantly, an AFoI audience, a few things that have been on my mind. I would like, of course, to observe an important cultural protocol, as has been observed throughout the Adelaide Festival of Ideas, and acknowledge the Kaurna people as the traditional owners of this country. I am also proud to acknowledge the late Jim Bettison & Helen James for always backing the AFoI from its inception. Thanks to Simone Vinall and Simone's fellow Foundation Trustees: Doreen Mellor & Geoff Purdie and acknowledge Perpetual Trustees and Amanda Duthie from Adelaide Film Festival Corporation, who administers the Jim Bettison and Helen James Foundation Award. I knew Helen and Jim and valued their support for some of the causes about which we shared a passion: in essence the arts and ideas; the value of learning and of the power of human potential to both imagine and then to realise change in our lives. And so it was especially humbling for me when I was invited to be the inaugural recipient of the Award established by the Foundation that bears their name. It is also a particular thrill to know that I now find myself in the company of two amazing fellow recipients of this award: Meryl Tankard and Tim Jarvis. Each of us are incredibly different to the other in terms of our chosen paths - and I think this speaks so positively of the ambit of this new Award.

    Adelaide Festival of Ideas Program

    ~^. ... .,. O. ^ I. , . ADELAIDE FESTIVAL OF IDEAS PROGRAM to - ,. 3 July 2003 Hope and Fear Art Gallery of South Australia Auditorium & Cafe, Elder Hall. Bonython Hall, Brookman Hall. North Terrace. Adelaide South Australia Welcome Hope and Fear. One could be forgiven for thinking that the major themes of this third biennial Adelaide Festival of Ideas were born out of calamitous recent events. Seldom have two words better I I summed up the contradictions and aspirations of global affairs. a And yet our Advisory Committee chose these themes before * , ^ September L, ., before 'Tampa' and before "truth overboard' meant anything to us. Perhaps this was prescient, but it was also obvious, for hope and fear are always with us In a sound bite media culture. where fear rules on talkback radio and 'spin' shapes public opinion. making sense is a challenge to even the most optimistic. And yet every day one can find cause for hope if one looks past the surface tension. If our communities are to survive. if compassion is once again to take root in public life. and cohesion is to be maintained, we have no choice but to over come the dominance of fear and to re-assert hope as a key driver of our human condition. Adelaide For three days and four nights, Adelaide will become a crucible of restiva ideas. as outstanding thinkers gather to challenge and enrich our understanding of the forces which shape our world. The emphasis in this Festival program falls on social and emotional matters in these unsettled times. but a wider range of intellectual exploration is well represented also.
