We want to create and drive opportunities for people, for businesses, for industry and for the state as a whole. The Department of State Development works hard to ensure its activities are efficient, effective and align with the Premier’s 10 economic priorities. We are continuing to build new capabilities in sectors where South Australia is already enjoying competitive strengths and which are expected to have above average growth in global demand. By bringing together a collection of agencies under one umbrella, we have strengthened our capacity to link up important functions of government that need to work successfully together if we are to transform the South Australian economy and provide growth. DSD’s mandate is to identify and explore opportunities for growth aligned to six of the ten economic priorities. With these priorities as a guide, we are committed to working with business and the community to ensure South Australia works to its strengths and prospers in the global economy. We need to build South Australia’s international connections and alliances and we are working with businesses to build our state’s reputation as a great place to live, work and do business. This department is supporting those who take risks, push boundaries and take their businesses and ideas to the world. South Australia’s economic performance has been varied across its industry sectors. There have been positive signs through improved consumer spending and in the tourism and international education sectors. The state has seen improved competitiveness in other trade exposed sectors as a result of depreciation of the Australian dollar which will support further economic activity. However, the state is currently experiencing a number of challenges including the significant structural adjustment required when car manufacturing stops in 2017, a slowdown in China’s economy and continued uncertainty, and a slow recovery in Europe. Further challenges include falling commodity prices which are affecting mineral production. In a recent speech to the National Press Club, the Premier outlined that a response to the current impacts on the Australian economy is a national task to build a new economy that is open, high-growth, high- technology and clean-technology. Australian governments have a responsibility to assist Australian industries and communities to adjust to current and expected future global circumstances. We have to transform old industries and find new ones in order to compete on a global stage. This is something the Government of South Australia is working on and as the Premier stated "We're destined to shape our own future not to be beholden to others". Major economic transformation in South Australia depends on our state’s ability to find new ways of doing things through innovation, adapting quickly to new and emerging opportunities and through supporting and growing our existing industries. As the South Australian Government’s principal economic development agency, DSD has accepted lead responsibility for implementing government actions to assist in the required structural transformation. P 1 DEPARTMENT OF STATE DEVELOPMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2014-15 1 CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S FOREWORD The six economic priorities DSD is aligned to include: PRIORITY 1: Unlocking the full potential of South Australia’s resources, energy and renewable assets PRIORITY 3: A globally recognised leader in health research, ageing and related services and products PRIORITY 4: The Knowledge State – attracting a diverse student body and commercialising our research PRIORITY 6: Growth through innovation PRIORITY 9: Promoting South Australia’s international connections and engagement PRIORITY 10: South Australia’s small businesses have access to capital and global markets. DSD also actively contributes to the remaining four priorities: PRIORITY 2: Premium food and wine produced in our clean environment and exported to the world PRIORITY 5: South Australia – a growing destination choice for international and domestic travellers PRIORITY 7: South Australia, the best place to do business PRIORITY 8: Adelaide, the heart of a vibrant state DSD is working to build capabilities in sectors where South Australia is already enjoying competitive strengths. The focus is on activity in resources and energy, industry and innovation, investment, trade and immigration, health industries, arts, renewable energy, and Aboriginal affairs and reconciliation. DSD also supports the Economic Development Board which brings together a wide range of business, research and promotional expertise to tackle the development challenges that are facing the state. In May 2015 the department announced a new focus for skills development in South Australia that will bring under one umbrella all the publicly-funded initiatives in our skills, employment and training system. WorkReady changes how vocational education and training courses are subsidised and purchased to maximise the value the public receives from its investment. It was developed with industry to ensure skills training is targeted at the industries and professions that will lead to more jobs. WorkReady repositions training, employment and skills policy, activity and investment. It ensures that people are getting the necessary support to start training at the right level, that they complete their training and that they are equipped to move into jobs. Building a skilled, capable and work ready workforce, able to fill current and emerging job opportunities, will be the hallmark of WorkReady’s success and is critical to achieving increased productivity and driving innovation to support economic growth and jobs. The department played a leading role in the Premier’s successful trade and investment mission to China in May 2015 as part of the South Australia Shandong Cooperation and Development Forum. The department P 2 1 CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S FOREWORD coordinated the largest outbound mission in the state’s history, which included around 250 delegates from business, local government, research and education institutions, and State Government agencies. In March we launched the Export Partnership Program to help South Australian businesses engage with key trading partners in targeted international markets. The program provides eligible companies with up to $50,000 over two years, on a 50:50 funding model, for activities such as training, market research and mentoring.

  • Informing the Euthanasia Debate: Perceptions of Australian Politicians
    1368 UNSW Law Journal Volume 41(4) INFORMING THE EUTHANASIA DEBATE: PERCEPTIONS OF AUSTRALIAN POLITICIANS ANDREW MCGEE,* KELLY PURSER,** CHRISTOPHER STACKPOOLE,*** BEN WHITE,**** LINDY WILLMOTT***** AND JULIET DAVIS****** In the debate on euthanasia or assisted dying, many different arguments have been advanced either for or against legal reform in the academic literature, and much contemporary academic research seeks to engage with these arguments. However, very little research has been undertaken to track the arguments that are being advanced by politicians when Bills proposing reform are debated in Parliament. Politicians will ultimately decide whether legislative reform will proceed and, if so, in what form. It is therefore essential to know what arguments the politicians are advancing in support of or against legal reform so that these arguments can be assessed and scrutinised. This article seeks to fill this gap by collecting, synthesising and mapping the pro- and anti-euthanasia and assisted dying arguments advanced by Australian politicians, starting from the time the first ever euthanasia Bill was introduced. I INTRODUCTION Euthanasia attracts continued media, societal and political attention.1 In particular, voluntary active euthanasia (‘VAE’) and physician-assisted suicide * BA (Hons) (Lancaster), LLB (Hons) (QUT), LLM (QUT), PhD (Essex); Senior Lecturer, Australian Centre for Health Law Research, Faculty of Law, Queensland University of Technology. ** BA/LLB (Hons) (UNE), PhD (UNE); Senior Lecturer, Australian Centre for Health Law Research, Faculty of Law, Queensland University of Technology. *** LLB/BBus (Hons) (QUT), BCL (Oxford). **** LLB (Hons) (QUT), DPhil (Oxford), Professor, Australian Centre for Health Law Research, Faculty of Law, Queensland University of Technology. ***** BCom (UQ), LLB (Hons) (UQ), LLM (Cambridge), PhD (QUT); Professor, Australian Centre for Health Law Research, Faculty of Law, Queensland University of Technology.

  • Impact Analysis: Legislative and Policy Achievements of EMILY’S List Women in Power in South Australia 2002 ‐ 2016
    Impact Analysis: Legislative and policy achievements of EMILY’s List women in power in South Australia 2002 ‐ 2016 1 Inside front cover EMILY’s List ‐ a brief history EMILY’s List is a not‐for‐profit organisation, which supports progressive Labor women in their campaigns to enter Australian state, territory and federal parliaments. Joan Kirner and Carmen Lawrence established the organisation in 1996 in response to a lack of women being preselected within the ALP, and affirmative action targets not being met. The organisation is membership based and is run by committed paid and voluntary staff. EMILY’s List supports candidates with training, mentors and financial support in exchange for their commitment to progressive issues facing women, particularly in the areas of choice, childcare, diversity, equity and equal pay. EMILY is an acronym, which stands for Early Money Is Like Yeast‐ it raises the dough, which is fundamental to the funding structure of new candidates, where early money is given to help strengthen the campaign in the early stages. Across Australia, EMILY’s List has successfully supported more than 430 candidates to campaign, with more than 210 elected. Background Note: This impact analysis was commissioned by the EMILY’s List National Committee and prepared by Emma Jane Humphries as part of a School of Social and Political Studies (University of Melbourne) placement with EMILY’s List Australia. We gratefully acknowledge the contribution of current and past South Australian EMILY’s List MPs in the preparation of this report. 2 Contents Impact Analysis: Legislative and policy achievements of EMILY’s List women in power in South Australia 2002 ‐ 2016 .......................................................................................................................
