  • Ministerial Advisers in the Australian System of Responsible Government∗
    Between Law and Convention: Yee-Fui Ng Ministerial Advisers in the Australian System of Responsible Government∗ It is hard to feel sorry for politicians. Yet it is undeniable that a modern day minister has many different responsibilities, including managing policy, the media and political issues. Ministers also have to mediate with and appease various stakeholders, including constituents and interest groups. Within the political structure they have to work cooperatively with their prime minister, members of parliament and their political party. It is impossible for one person to shoulder all these tasks single-handedly. Newly elected ministers are faced with a vast and bewildering bureaucracy inherited from the previous government. Although the public service is supposed to be impartial, ministers may not be willing to trust the bureaucracy when a few moments ago it was serving their opponents. Understandably, ministers have the desire to have partisan advisers whom they trust to advise them. This has led to the rise of the ministerial adviser. Ministerial advisers are personally appointed by ministers and work out of the ministers’ private offices. In the last 40 years, ministerial advisers have become an integral part of the political landscape. It all started with the informal ‘kitchen cabinets’, where a small group of the minister’s trusted friends and advisers gathered around the kitchen table to discuss political strategies. This has since become formalised and institutionalised into the role of the partisan ministerial adviser as distinct from the impartial public service. The number of Commonwealth ministerial staff increased from 155 in 1972 to 423 in 2015—an increase of 173 per cent.

  • Tanner Dumps on PM
    The Sunday Telegraph April 24, 2011 12:00AM Tanner dumps on PM JULIA Gillard is fortunate the next election is two years away. Policy quicksand is dragging the Labor Government down in every direction: asylum seekers, carbon tax, the national broadband network, defence reform and preparations for a killer budget. Disastrous Labor polling shows voters think the Government gets everything wrong. Senior press-gallery commentators are virtually writing off Ms Gillard's chances. And now, a former member of inner-Cabinet's "gang of four", Lindsay Tanner, has pole-axed Ms Gillard. In his upcoming memoir, Mr Tanner, who quit in Ms Gillard's first Question Time as Prime Minister last year, writes: "Whether I like it or not, I have spent much of my adult life in an entertainment industry. "My craft as a politician was swamped by such values. Modern politics now resembles a Hollywood blockbuster: all special effects and no plot." He takes veiled digs at ex-colleagues, in the guise of a critique of "shallow" media coverage: Julia Gillard dyes her hair red, Queensland Premier Anna Bligh has Botox, Kevin Rudd once nibbled his own ear-wax, Mark Latham had "man-boobs". This is a damaging book from a man who makes no secret of his bitterness. Mr Tanner has been at odds with Ms Gillard since their student days. He has publicly expressed distaste for modern Labor since 2003, when Mr Latham became leader. When Mr Rudd was rolled, Mr Tanner retired, leaving the Greens to take his seat of Melbourne. Now, as Ms Gillard grapples with the unwieldy Green-independent balance of power, Mr Tanner throws bombs from the sideline.

  • Global Media Journal - Australian Edition - 5:1 2011 1 of 3 of the Most Valuable Contributions of the Book
    Tanner, Lindsay - Sideshow: Dumbing Down Democracy Scribe Publications, Melbourne, 2011, pp. 232, ISBN 978-1-921844-0605 Reviewed by Myra Gurney It has been said that the media doesn’t tell readers what to think, it tells them what to think about. The role of the media in the public conversation about politics is the central thesis of this recent book by Lindsay Tanner, recently retired ALP member for Melbourne and widely respected Rudd government Finance Minister. In the twenty years since UK Minister for Trade, Lord Young, remarked that, “policies are like cornflakes, if they are not marketed, they will not sell”, there has been a noted shift in the public discourse around politics, and politiciansthemselves have become the commodities to be marketed and sold by their parties at the behest of their media advisors. New forms of media have meant that the enactment of politics itself has become shaped by the needs and imperatives of the 24 hour news cycle which in turn is increasingly shaped by commercial imperatives. Political parties are now thought of as brands which operate in the marketplace of public opinion which must be sold in digestible, visually engaging chunks and 30 second soundbites tightly crafted to fit the formula of the evening news, and policy is increasingly being shaped by focus groups. More broadly, globalisation and the rapid evolution of new forms of digital media are having a major impact on traditional media business models and media worldwide is undeniably in a state of flux. The role of journalism, and of journalists, is being challenged, with some, such as US media scholar Robert McChesney, arguing that objective journalism is in serious decline because of what he refers to as “commercial carpet bombing” (151).
