  • Submission to the Senate Select Committee Into the Political Influence of Donations
    Submission to the Senate Select Committee into the Political Influence of Donations Dr Charles Livingstone & Ms Maggie Johnson Gambling and Social Determinants Unit School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine Monash University 9 October 2017 1 Introduction Gambling in Australia is a prime cause of avoidable harm, with the harms of gambling estimated to be of the same order of magnitude as alcohol, and far higher than that associated with illicit drug consumption. (Browne et al, 2016; 2017). The gambling industry is a major donor to Australian political parties and politicians and appears to hold considerable cachet with many political actors, at both federal and state level. In this, it appears to be similar to other industries that produce harmful products, such as alcohol and tobacco. Its purpose in donating to political parties and politicians is similar; it seeks to deny the harmful effects of its products, delay or wind back reform, avoid effective regulation, and continue to extract profits for as long as possible. a) The level of influence that political donations exert over the public policy decisions of political parties, Members of Parliament and Government administration; The Australian gambling industry has utilised political donations as a mechanism to exert considerable influence over relevant public policy. This has been facilitated by the current donations regime, which has numerous flaws from the perspective of transparency and support for policy that acts in the genuine interest of the public. The industry is both significantly resourced and politically organised, and has actively sought opportunities for political engagement via donations to politicians and political parties.

  • Press Release the Hon
    PRESS RELEASE THE HON. TONY ABBOTT MP, LEADER OF THE FEDERAL COALITION A TEAM TO BUILD A STRONGER AUSTRALIA The incoming Coalition Government will restore strong, stable and accountable government to build a more prosperous Australia. This is the team that will scrap the carbon tax, end the waste, stop the boats, build the roads of the twenty first century and deliver the strong and dynamic economy that we need. First term governments are best served by Cabinets with extensive ministerial experience. Fifteen members of the incoming Cabinet have previous ministerial experience. The four members of Cabinet without ministerial experience have made significant contributions to the Shadow Ministry. The simplification of ministerial and departmental titles reflects my determination to run a “back to basics” government. The Australian people expect a government that is upfront, speaks plainly and does the essentials well. The Cabinet will be assisted by a strong team of ministers with proven capacity to implement the Government’s policies. Parliamentary secretaries will assist senior ministers and be under their direction. Good government requires a strong Coalition. As Deputy Prime Minister and as Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development, the Hon Warren Truss MP will be responsible for ensuring the Government delivers on its major infrastructure commitments across Australia. Mr Jamie Briggs MP will be the Assistant Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development with specific responsibility for roads and delivery of our election commitments across metropolitan and regional Australia. The Hon Julie Bishop MP will serve as Minister for Foreign Affairs and will be a strong voice for Australia during a time when Australia is a member of the United Nations Security Council.

  • Legislative Assembly Wednesday 12 August 2015 67 Uncorrected
    Legislative Assembly Wednesday 12 August 2015 67 With more than 60,000 on the social housing waiting list and the continuing demand on social housing, given the housing affordability crisis and rising levels of homelessness, the Government must not absolve itself from its duty to protect social housing tenants from unnecessary eviction from their social housing tenancies. Last March the Government announced that $1 billion was to be set aside for housing, but we are yet to see one dollar of it or any documentation about it. We all know that $20 billion supposedly will be spent on a whole range of infrastructure projects from the sale of electricity, but not one dollar is going towards increasing housing in this State. We know how important it is to care for our tenants and to provide them with a very safe home and shelter. I reiterate that the Opposition supports law-abiding citizens in our social housing network. Debate adjourned on motion by Mr Mark Coure and set down as an order of the day for a future day. Pursuant to resolution private members' statements proceeded with. <42> PORT STEPHENS COUNCIL Ms KATE WASHINGTON (Port Stephens) [5.18 p.m.]: Recently I joined representatives of numerous community groups at a rally outside Port Stephens Council who were to there to express no confidence in council. It is not a move we took lightly, but the interests of our community were under threat from a council agenda fraught with potential problems. What led us to take that action? The current Port Stephens Council was elected as a result of what was described by the Newcastle Herald as "an intricate web of preference deals … cemented multi-millionaire mayor Bruce McKenzie's leadership".

  • 'I'm Not Expecting to Lose …': the Election Overview and Campaign Narrative
    2 ‘I’m Not Expecting to Lose …’: The Election Overview and Campaign Narrative Marija Taflaga and John Wanna The countdown to a combative election The quotation from Malcolm Turnbull in the chapter title reflected the restrained optimism of the newly installed prime minister facing his first election as leader in the dying days of the 2016 federal election campaign. He spoke these prophetic words reluctantly when asked persistently by TV personality Annabel Crabb on her show Kitchen Cabinet about his expectations of the outcome. While Turnbull’s prediction would ultimately prove accurate (only just!), Turnbull and his Coalition colleagues would get the fright of their lives when the counting began. This chapter provides a chronology of the federal election campaign of 2016. It explores the antecedents of the main events and outcomes, and looks to provide reasons for the largely unexpected closeness of the eventual result. The chapter is broadly divided into five parts: (1) the background context and government’s leadership transition along with the delicate timing and deliberate preparations for a double-dissolution election; (2) the flurry of last-minute policy announcements and budgetary measures; (3) the meandering nature of the lengthy campaign from the standpoint of the main protagonists followed by the resort to 17 DOUBLE DISILLUSION banal sloganeering; (4) the volatile election outcome and the descent into uncertainty; and, finally, (5) the immediate aftermath of the election and an assessment on the wisdom of calling a double dissolution.

  • Analysis of AEC Donation Data 1999-2000 to 2014-2015 Gambling Industry Interests
    Analysis of AEC donation data 1999-2000 to 2014-2015 Gambling industry interests Interim report 1 – Registered Clubs Association of NSW (t/a ClubsNSW) Dr Charles Livingstone and Ms Maggie Johnson School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine Monash University Introduction and disclosure In Australia, donors to political parties or associated entities are required to disclose donations above a particular threshold. The current threshold is set at $13,000 and is the subject of annual indexation linked to CPI. There has been continuing controversy in relation to the current system of disclosing donations, including the relatively high threshold and the significant delay in publication of the data, use of associated entities to avoid clear disclosure, and inappropriate use of taxpayer funded resources to facilitate fundraising (see, for example a recent episode of Four Corners, and Fairfax media articles on the Liberal Party linked Millennium Forum and fundraising activity in the Victorian electorate of Menzies.). However, some data are published on the Internet by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) on an annual basis. These data have the potential to provide information about the financial influence exerted on policy and politicians by corporate and other vested interests. All data referred to in this report are sourced from the AEC unless otherwise specified. The research reported in this interim report is intended to provide information to the Alliance for Gambling Reform (which commissioned and funded the research), and to support the preparation of research papers as a component of an Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Project (LP130100046) in which the author is a Chief Investigator.
