TOTAL FOR PARLIAMENT TRAVEL -IMPREST SYSTEM VISITS: 17 $114, 914 Department of Premier & Cabinet Dumas House 2 Havelock Street WEST PERTH WA 6005 Attention: Laurie Bin'ell Dear Sir INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL IMPREST REPORT ATTENDANCE AT THE INTERNATIONAL BAR ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE­ BOSTON U.S.A. - 6 to 11 OCTOBER 2013 At the begilming of the 38th Parliament the Premier made a statement to the Assembly stating that he was changing the imprest rules for intemational travel so as to discourage members using international travel to go on aimless sightseeing tours or lines of enquiry. The Premier stated that he wanted to positively encourage members to travel internationally to attend sltuctured conferences in the area of their parliamentary responsibility. Accordingly, as the Shadow Attorney General for Western Australia, I cannot think of a more worthwhile imprest trip than to travel to the International Bar Association Conference in Boston, the theme of which was to examine human rights and the health of the plinciples enshrined in the Magna Carta 800 years after the signing of that document. Having obtained the prior approval ofthe Premier of Western Australia, the Hon. Colin Bal'llett MLA, to undertake international travel, I attended the Intemational Bar Association Annual Conference held in Boston, Massachusetts. I attended events on all six days of the conference. The conference was held between Sunday 6 October 2013 and Friday 11 Octobel' 2013. In accordance with the Premier's prior approval I claimed accommodation allowance for the duration of the conference (5 to 10 October) and met my own accommodation expenses for 11 Octobel' 2013. All claims by me and approvals by the Premier have been made strictly in accordance with the published guidelines. I attach a copy of the Intemational Ba!' Association's Certificate of Attendance. In addition to the legal sessions conducted between 7 and 11 October 2013, I attended the opening sessions of the conference held on 6 October 2013, which did not constitute legal instmction, however, the official opening address of the Chairperson of the International Bar Association, Mr Michael Reynolds, outlined the plans and priorities fol' tile fm1her of the Association. PO Box 2024 CLARKSON WA 6030 kM OFFICll: SUl'l'E 116, OCEAN Kr,ys SHOPP1NG CENTRE, 36 OCEAN KEYS BOULEVARD, CLARKSON WA 6030 (Opposile C/arksoll Libml)~ PH: 9407 8600 FA.X: 9407 8644 E,tAlL: [email protected],gol'.au 2 The themes of the President's address were that the IBA was focusing on developing its presence in the emerging economies of Asia, AfHca and Latin America. Mr Reynolds also noted that the IBA has been advancing its human rights initiatives around the world, giving special attention to the impact of climate change on disadvantaged populations, the effects of new technology on privacy rights and human trafficking. The point was made that the IBA is uniquely placed to address these issues as it brings together the leading legal experts from around the world. Intemationallegal experts who addressed the conference were; U.S. Supreme Court Justice, StephenBreyer, fonner Justice of the High Court of Australia, Michael Kirby QC, world renowned economist, Mr Paul Volcker, Professor Jolm Ruggie, author of the United Nations guiding principal on hllman rights, together with leading lawyers from various jurisdictions around the world. Following Mr Reynolds inspirational opening speech was an address by Dr Madeleine Albright, the former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, and the U.S. Secretary of State. Dr Albright spoke about her parents having fled Warsaw, Poland, just prior to its decimation by Hitler's atmy. Escaping first to the United Kingdom and then immigrating to the U.S. Dr Albright noted that during the span of her lifetime she witnessed many abuses of human rights on an international scale and lauded the Intemational Bar Association's focus on the protection of human rights around the world, in particular developing economies and new countries, not steeped in the tradition of the IUle oflaw. Dr Albright gave great importance to the vigilance of ihe protection of human rights in developed c01mtries where governments react to challenges such as tenorism by diminishing the rights of individuals, using impr!somnent by executive action rather than subject to the IUle oflaw. She stressed to the conference that every time human rights were diminished by govenunents in the face of challenges to 01ll' democracy such as terrorism, then tbe tel1'0rists achieve their goals byundennining the IUle oflaw to respond to threats. We should have confidence in the robustness of our democracy and strength of our legal systems to meet these challenges to our democracies within the application ofthe rule oflaw. On Monday Illoming 7 October I attended an IBA showcase session on "HUll/an Traffic: Modem Sravery". The lead speaker for this session was Ms Laurel Bellows, the immediate fonner President of the American Bar Association and included Ambassador Luis Debaca ofthe U.S. State Department's Office to combat trafficking in persons, Baroness Helena Kennedy QC of the London Bar and Co-Chair ofthe Human Rights Institute and Gopal Subramanium, a former Attol'l1ey Genera I from India. INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL IMPREST REPORT ATTENDANCE AT THE INTERNATIONAL BAR ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE - BOSTON V.SA - 6 to 11 OCTOBER 2013 3 The session comprised discussion about recent developments between private individuals, private institutions, corporations, governmental agencies, NGO's and viewpoints from trafficked people themselves. It was revealed during the sessions that profits ft'om human trafficking sit just below the profits ft'om the dlUg trade and human trafficking is globally estimated to generate $32 billion annually. Ms Bellows set out 5 key points to combat human trafficking: I. A uniform minimum law to punish captors; 2. Education of first responders to recognise a victim who does not immediately self­ identify; 3. TIle promUlgation of business conduct standards promoting a zero tolerance approach to slave labour; 4. Education of employees to understand the problem and reporting, including guidelines 01' employment manuals; 5. National awareness campaigns, as many members of the community do not understand how rampant slavery is or how many lives it permeates. Ms Bellows also discussed the Palerl1lo Protocol, which is the most comprehensive and important legislation on human trafficking. It was stressed by Mr Gopal Subramanium, the former Solicitor General ofIndia, that India has a first class constitution which expressly prohibits htlman trafficking; however, for the last 60 years successive govemments in India have looked the other way and not taken action against those involved in this trade. The fonner Solicitor General concluded: "I think this is primaty proof that the State is actively collaborating in this industly". Mr Subramanium, stated that not only was not enough being done to legislate the PalerlJlo Protocols into domestic legislation, but there had to be sanctions, both economic and political, against any country that fails to honour these protocols against human trafficking. On Monday aftcl'IIoon I attended an IBA showcase event entitled "Hullul/I RIgltts at 65: . Hale alld Hearty 01' III Need ofResflscitation". The speakers included Ambassador Hans Corell, fonner Under Secretary General for Legal Affairs and the Legal Counsel for the United Nations in Stockholm, Baroness Helena Kelmedy QC, a member of the House of Lords and Barrister in London, the HOIl.

Our goal is to provide leaders in the commercial, public, and social sectors with the facts and insights on which to base management and policy decisions. MGI research combines the disciplines of economics and management, employing the analytical tools of economics with the insights of business leaders. Our micro-to-macro methodology examines microeconomic industry trends to better understand the broad macroeconomic forces affecting business strategy and public policy. MGI’s in-depth reports have covered more than 20 countries and 30 industries. Current research focuses on six themes: productivity and growth, financial markets, technology and innovation, urbanisation, labour markets, and natural resources. Recent research has assessed the diminishing role of equities, progress on debt and deleveraging, resource productivity, cities of the future, the future of work in advanced economies, the economic impact of the Internet, and the role of social technology. MGI is led by three McKinsey & Company directors: Richard Dobbs, James Manyika, and Charles Roxburgh. Susan Lund serves as director of research. Project teams are led by a group of senior fellows and include consultants from McKinsey’s offices around the world. These teams draw on McKinsey’s global network of partners and industry and management experts. In addition, leading economists, including Nobel laureates, act as research advisers.

  • The Political Economy of Public Administration Reforms in Southeast Asia
    Political Science The Political Economy of Public Administration Reforms in Southeast Asia: A Comparative Analysis of the Tax Administration in Indonesia and the Philippines Dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy granted by the Department of Social Sciences Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences University of Hamburg submitted by Nina Korte Hamburg 2013 First Examiner: PD Dr. Andreas Ufen Second Examiner: Prof. Dr. Joachim Betz Place and Date of Defence: Hamburg, January 28 th , 2014 i Abstract Within the last decade, scholars and practitioners have increasingly discussed domestic resource mobilization as a development financing tool. Revenues from domestic sources are regarded as more stable than resources derived from world capital markets. Moreover, taxes are ascribed a positive impact on state building and good governance. In most developing and transition countries, so far, the tax ratio has been lower than the internationally advocated twenty percent of their gross domestic product. Within this context, research on taxation in developing countries has grown, and efforts to improve tax systems have proliferated globally. Strong interest and rhetoric on enhancing domestic resource mobilization however does not necessarily translate into more effective and efficient, equitable and impartial tax systems as previous experience has shown. The reasons accounting for low tax efforts and for the relative success and failure of tax reforms in many countries have remained under-researched. This has been particularly true for countries in Asia, Central Asia and the Middle East. This study contributes to this research gap by a comparative political economy analysis of the Indonesian and Philippine cases. The study focuses on the tax administration reforms of the years 2002 to 2010.
