  • Why Won't the Australian Government Follow
    WHY WON’T THE AUSTRALIAN > GOVERNMENT FOLLOW CANADA’S LEAD ON FREE SPEECH? AARON LANE Research Fellow at the Institute of Public Affairs n a visit to Canada earlier this year, Prime Minister Tony Abbott praised Canada for being a longstanding friend of IAustralia that has always shared our commitment to democracy and liberty. So why won’t the Australian government follow Canada’s lead and completely repeal section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act? In June 2013, Canada repealed its section 13 of its Human Rights Act. This section made it unlawful to communicate, by phone or internet, ‘any material that is likely to expose a person or persons to hatred or contempt’ based on grounds of discrimination. (The prescribed grounds of discrimination included race, national or ethnic origin, colour, and religion.) A key problem with Canada’s section 13 of the provision is the use of the word ‘likely’ to have exposed somebody to ‘hatred of contempt’. Canadian Conservative MP, and sponsor of the repeal bill, Brian Storseth explains: This is a very subjective and unnecessarily vague definition, not AUGUST 2014 | IPA Review 11 IPA_21 Review July 2014 C2.indd 11 5/08/2014 6:17:02 PM R FREE SPEECH Volume 66 I 2 CONTINUED undermine the dignity and self- THE BATTLELINES WERE one of the narrowly defined legal worth of target group members DRAWN BETWEEN definitions that would be far more and, more generally, contribute to > THOSE WHO SOUGHT appropriate for this clause.

TURLEY GALLEYSPROOFS2 5/27/2015 2:10 PM THE LOADSTONE ROCK: THE ROLE OF HARM IN THE CRIMINALIZATION OF PLURAL UNIONS ∗ Jonathan Turley ABSTRACT In this Article, Professor Turley explores the concept of social harm in the context of two recent cases in the United States and Canada over the criminalization of polygamy. The cases not only resulted in sharply divergent conclusions in striking down and upholding such laws respectively, but they offered strikingly different views of the concept of harm in the regulation of private consensual relations. Professor Turley draws comparisons with the debate over morality laws between figures like Lord Patrick Devlin and H.L.A. Hart in the last century. Professor Turley argues that the legal moralism of figures like Devlin have returned in a different form as a type of “compulsive liberalism” that seeks limitations on speech and consensual conduct to combat sexism and other social ills.

Jan Fishler’s talk will be taken from the title of her latest book, “Making the Most of the Rest of Your Life”. Her presentation will address some questions our 50-plus tribe faces such as: Are you happy with your accomplishments? Have you done enough? Have you earned the right to put your needs first? and What's next? At this point in our lives either our careers are winding down or have been completed. It is a time for reflecting on one’s life accomplishments and future plans as well. How does one navigate the rest of life in ways that deliver as much joy, happiness and satisfaction as possible? The presentation will help answer these questions. By its end, you will have a mini plan for making the most of the rest of your life. Jan Fishler began her career writing and producing informational and motivational videos. In addition to developing more than 100 corporate scripts, she produced “The Path to Publication”, a DVD series. It was filmed at the Community of Writers Conference at Squaw Valley and contains advice from authors that include Amy Tan, Anne Lamont, Janet Fitch and Mark Childress.

Putting the “Fertility Gap” to the Test Billy Gage Raley A Thesis in the Field of Government for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University March 2021 Copyright © 2020 Billy Gage Raley Abstract During the 2004 election cycle, journalists discovered a correlation between state fertility rates and presidential election results. The media observed that states with high fertility rates tended to support Bush, and states with low fertility rates tended to support Gore and Kerry. This phenomenon came to be known as the “Fertility Gap.” After political pundits started discussing the Fertility Gap, a few scholars also picked up on the topic. To date, discussion of the Fertility Gap has been limited to elections between 2000 to 2012. A longitudinal study of the Fertility Gap has never been conducted.
