  • Chronology of Same-Sex Marriage Bills Introduced Into the Federal Parliament: a Quick Guide
    RESEARCH PAPER SERIES, 2017–18 UPDATED 24 NOVEMBER 2017 Chronology of same-sex marriage bills introduced into the federal parliament: a quick guide Deirdre McKeown Politics and Public Administration Section On 15 November 2017, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) announced the results of the voluntary Australian Marriage Law Postal survey. The ABS reported that, of the 79.5 per cent of Australians who expressed a view on the question Should the law be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry?, ‘the majority indicated that the law should be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry, with 7,817,247 (61.6 per cent) responding Yes and 4,873,987 (38.4 per cent) responding No’. On the same day Senator Dean Smith (LIB, WA) introduced, on behalf of eight cross-party co-sponsors, a bill to amend the Marriage Act 1961 (Cth) so as to redefine marriage as ‘a union of two people’. This is the fifth marriage equality bill introduced in the current (45th) Parliament, while six bills were introduced into the previous (44th) Parliament. Since the 2004 amendment to the Marriage Act 1961 (Cth) which inserted the current definition of marriage, 23 bills dealing with marriage equality or the recognition of overseas same-sex marriages have been introduced into the federal Parliament. Four bills have come to a vote: three in the Senate (in 2010, 2012 and 2013), and one in the House of Representatives (in 2012). These bills were all defeated at the second reading stage; consequently no bill has been debated by the second chamber.

  • Declan Clausen [email protected] I Was
    Declan Clausen [email protected] I was privileged to have recently attended the 13th annual Science Meets Parliament conference (SmP) held in Canberra as the recipient of a generous APESMA Scholarship. SmP is organised by scientific lobby group Science and Technology Australia, brings together more than 150 of Australia’s preeminent industrial and research scientists and engineers. The goal of SmP is to allow participants to discuss science with other scientists, the media, influential public servants and parliamentarians. I currently study Environmental Engineering full time at the University of Newcastle, and work part time at the Hunter Water Corporation as an Industry Scholar. Outside of University and work, I am incredibly passionate about politics and policy creation, making SmP a near perfect match for my current skills, qualifications and interest. The first day of SmP began with members of the delegation working in small groups to put together a web outlining the influences on science, politics and public policy. The remainder of the first day was spent discussing these contributing influences including discussions with a media panel, a budget officer from the Commonwealth Treasury, the Deputy Secretary of the Department of Innovation, and with a team from the Centre for Public Awareness who specialise in social media and demonstrated how the new media influences science. These activities provided a detailed insight which would provide participants with knowledge that would set the scene for the rest of the conference. The first day of SmP ended in a spectacular fashion with a formal dinner held in the Great Hall of Parliament House.

    The Hon. Scott Morrison MP Prime Minister The Hon. Michael McCormack MP Deputy Prime Minister Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development The Hon. Steven Marshall MP Premier of South Australia The Hon. Alan Tudge MP Minister for Population, Cities and Urban Infrastructure The Hon. Stephan Knoll MP Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government Minister for Planning JOINT MEDIA RELEASE Monday 18 November 2019 FASTER DELIVERY OF ROAD AND RAIL PROJECTS TO BOOST SOUTH AUSTRALIA’S ECONOMY The South Australian economy will be boosted by a $415 million infrastructure package to bust congestion and make regional roads safer. The Morrison Government has been working with states and territories to bring forward critical road projects across Australia to drive jobs, strengthen the economy and get people home sooner and safer. Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the South Australian package included the acceleration of more than $328 million in federal funding across six projects. “By bringing forward these important road projects we will drive jobs, boost the economy and make roads safer, while reducing travel times so people can be with their families instead of being stuck in traffic,” the Prime Minister said. “Delivering critical road projects sooner, as part of our $100 billion pipeline, is responsible and considered economic management, in stark contrast to Labor’s daily calls of panic and crisis in their attempt to blow the Budget. “In South Australia we will provide additional funding for the Darlington Upgrade and Flinders Link Projects as part of Adelaide's North-South Corridor, while bringing forward funding for the Eyre Highway and Eyre Peninsula and Horrocks Highway corridors, Victor Harbor Road duplication and a major rural roads upgrade.” South Australian Premier Steven Marshall said South Australians would continue to reap the benefits of a constructive working relationship with the Morrison Government.

  • Alan Tudge's Contempt Seems to Know No Bounds. Why Is He Still a Minister?
    Alan Tudge’s contempt seems to know no bounds. Why is he still a minister? Scott Morrison has not said a word about why he is maintaining in his cabinet a minister so disgraced. That, too, is a disgrace. MICHAEL BRADLEY OCT 08, 2020 It is fair to conclude that acting Immigration Minister Alan Tudge has a deep contempt for the law. What else could motivate him, when the Federal Court has just declared in explicit terms that he committed one form of contempt (wilful disobedience of court orders), to just double down on what the court may see as another — the one it calls “scandalising the court”? Bear in mind that Tudge’s original contempt was a triple: he refused to comply with an order by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) to release a man from immigration detention, and then ignored orders by two Federal Court judges before finally relenting after five days of maintaining an imprisonment that was completely illegal. Justice Geoffrey Flick of the Federal Court called Tudge’s conduct “disgraceful” and “criminal”, noting that it exposed him to “civil and potentially criminal sanctions, not limited to a proceeding for contempt”. That was a couple of weeks ago; Tudge has not resigned or been sacked. Instead he has been layering on the contempt, telling the ABC that Flick’s findings were “comments by a particular judge, which I strongly reject … We’re looking at our appeal rights, presently.” This seems to be the law according to Tudge: sort of an opt-in thing. As his lawyers had unsuccessfully argued to several judges, his reason for ignoring the AAT’s original order was that he disagreed with it, intended to appeal it and therefore didn’t really need to comply with it.

  • Opening Address
    Opening address Andrew Laming MP1 1Federal Member for Bowman, Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Health Services and Indigenous Health Thanks Leigh for kicking off Plenary One ‘Shaping a Bright Rural Future’—I hope as a warm-up act, Jack Snelling and I do ok. Thanks to this year’s conference convenor Marie Lally, to your Conference Advisory committee and the Organising group. And of course the Tutti Choir for your inspiring intro. Distinguished guests, Jack, South Australian Senator David Fawcett, to Australian professional Colleges, most notably ACRRM, NACCHO and AIDA and RACGP, to AGPN, ANF, Allied Health networks, the RFDS; the physios, the psychs and the physios, the Chiros, Pharmacists the Optoms, the Ambos and paramedics, the Rural nurses, Doctors, Dentists, students and health researchers, to the Australian Health and Hospital Association, CRANAPlus, the CWA, Catholic Health Australia, ICPA, the health consumer groups, Rural HWorkforce, and RH Education Foundation, to the health consulting firms, private sector providers. What a perfect weekend in Australia’s most understated capital city, we are celebrating the work of rural, remote and Aboriginal health professionals. For many of you, rural health’s watershed moment was 1991. Many here today recall the Toowoomba Conference when ‘modern’ rural health was born. You’d agree it provided the foundation for what has been two-decades of uninterrupted advance in the status of (and investment in) rural, remote and Aboriginal health. Much of that momentum creation can be traced back to the AHMAC Rural Health Taskforce AND the Rural Health Support E&T program. Given this is a two yearly event this 11th meeting is as close as it gets to a 21st birthday for rural health.

  • Politician, Dob in Thyself: Christian Porter's Batshit Crazy Idea to Tackle
    Politician, dob in thyself: Christian Porter’s batshit crazy idea to tackle federal corruption Standing next to any state anti-corruption body, the powers and reach of the federal government's proposed Commonwealth Integrity Commission are deeply, deeply embarrassing. The Morrison government’s 363-page draft law to create a Commonwealth Integrity Commission (CIC) is finally out, almost a year after Attorney-General Christian Porter received it from his department. Must’ve been a lot of typos. Porter also announced there would be a leisurely six months of consultations on the bill, ostensibly because it’s all so hard, kicking the can so far down the road that it’s unlikely to turn into an actual law before the next election. One really gets a sense of urgency from the government on this. The draft bill is massive, but let’s apply a simple test to its provisions — how, if at all, would it deal with these random specks of federal dirt: Angus Taylor and the allegedly doctored Sydney Council document Bridget McKenzie and the sports rorts affair Alan Tudge’s imprisonment of an asylum seeker in defiance of court orders (And if she’d been a federal minister) Gladys Berejiklian’s non-intimate relationship with Daryl Maguire. The first question is how an allegation of corrupt conduct can get in front of the CIC. Well, when the person who committed that conduct is a member of federal Parliament, the only person who has the legal power to refer the allegation to the CIC is — wait for it — that member of parliament.
