  • Working Families Are Aussie Battlers
    Lost in the Struggle: Aussie Battlers in the Rhetoric of Opposition Joshua Bee Abstract This essay examines the role of the Aussie Battler in Australian political rhetoric. I argue that the Aussie Battler is a rhetorical incarnation of economic struggle, in which an Opposition utilises an ambiguity akin to dog whistling to foment and direct dissatisfaction towards an incumbent Government. Concepts like these are necessarily self-limiting after the Opposition deploying them is elected, as the circumstances from which they arise directly conflict with the expected rhetoric of competent and effective Government. Whilst particular incarnations of this rhetoric may hold partisan connotations, for instance Howard’s Battlers or Rudd’s Working Families, the pool of discontent they seek to foment and mobilise remains largely consistent. Curiously, this ongoing manipulation and promise of representation seems to undermine the essence of the Battler cultural ethic that makes identification with such articulations rhetorically significant. Introduction In 1988 John Howard, as Leader of the Opposition, gave a speech designed to foster a sense of disjuncture between the Government, and Australians who felt that - for a reason that perhaps was not entirely clear - life was harder than it should be.1 Over the next eight years, a shadowy horde of Aussie Battlers banded together against an elitist Government that was ‘out of touch’, and in 1996, ‘Howard’s Battlers’ were widely credited with delivering Australia its first Liberal Government in over a decade.2 Whilst their significance as a construct necessarily diminished during the Howard years, the pool of potentialities from which the Aussie Battler arose remained.

  • Vol 13, Issue 1
    The Newsletter of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Criminology Volume 13, Issue 1, April 2016 President’s Column The conference was opened by the South Australian Attorney- General, John Rau, who spoke affectionately and positively about the role of associations such as ours in advising on reforms. I remember well his predecessor, the current speaker of the SA parliament, Michael Atkinson, who was memorable for his opening remarks at the 2007 conference. In essence he said that criminologists were not people he was paying much heed to. He preferred, he said, to listen to his electorate on matters to do with justice. It was an interesting speech and one that attracted a great deal of comment. In hindsight, it did us all a favour. All speakers after that comment, and for the rest of the week, prefaced their remarks by saying “despite what the Attorney-General has said, this research is highly valuable” and then spoke about policy imperatives. The Flinders conference was the 28th annual conference, but it actually marked 30 years since the first conference in 1985, convened at St Hilda’s College in Melbourne, so we celebrated a milestone in that respect. President Rick Sarre musing at the 28th Annual ANZSOC Conference at Flinders University in Adelaide The organising team for the 9th annual postgraduate conference event was composed of Rhiannon Bandiera, Adam Pocrnic and Greetings! Diego Dominguez Mejia, and to them I offer my sincere thanks also. The first such conference was, in fact, convened at Flinders in My first duty is to record my profound thanks to the conference 2007 and each one has been a great success ever since.

  • Old School Networks: Brazen and Shameless
    AUSTRALIAN COUNCIL FOR THE DEFENCE OF GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS PRESS RELEASE 783 OLD SECTARIAN SCHOOL NETWORKS : BRAZEN AND SHAMELESS The ghost of Bob Santamaria, the National Civic Council, or the ‘Movement’ - whichever you prefer, and the ‘Catholic right’ are alive, well, and out in front. The Catholic inspired right wing in Australian politics was the brain child of Archbishop Mannix, the Victorian archbishop determined to obtain the State Aid for church schools they had lost in 1872. He worked out that the power in Australian politics lay in the middle where the cross bench could blackmail whatever government was in power. Back in the day, the ‘groupers’ as they were called, divided the Labor Party in Victoria and Queensland but took over and systematically dominated NSW Labor. At the federal level they produced the DLP. In the last century, old boy networks strategically influenced key positions in the political, legal, academic and media elites. In recent times, the ‘old boys’ have dominated the Liberal Party. And State Aid to religious schools has skyrocketed to the point that it has overtaken taxpayer payments to public schools. But just in case Cathoic voters thought they should look to the Liberal Party to look after the Catholic sectarian interests, messages are being strategically issued from the old Labor Party stalwarts. After all, their great and fearless leader, Bill Shorten himself, is an old boy from Xavier. But on 14 February the Fairfax Press made official, but had been scuttlebutt in the Murdock Press the week before with the announcement that a Labor Senator from Victoria, Jacinta Collins had resigned from Parliament and was heading to a leading role in the National Catholic Education Commission.
