  • Australia Muslim Advocacy Network
    1. The Australian Muslim Advocacy Network (AMAN) welcomes the opportunity to input to the UN Special Rapporteur on the Freedom of Religion or Belief as he prepares this report on the Impact of Islamophobia/anti-Muslim hatred and discrimination on the right to freedom of thought, conscience religion or belief. 2. We also welcome the opportunity to participate in your Asia-Pacific Consultation and hear from the experiences of a variety of other Muslims organisations. 3. AMAN is a national body that works through law, policy, research and media, to secure the physical and psychological welfare of Australian Muslims. 4. Our objective to create conditions for the safe exercise of our faith and preservation of faith- based identity, both of which are under persistent pressure from vilification, discrimination and disinformation. 5. We are engaged in policy development across hate crime & vilification laws, online safety, disinformation and democracy. Through using a combination of media, law, research, and direct engagement with decision making parties such as government and digital platforms, we are in a constant process of generating and testing constructive proposals. We also test existing civil and criminal laws to push back against the mainstreaming of hate, and examine whether those laws are fit for purpose. Most recently, we are finalising significant research into how anti-Muslim dehumanising discourse operates on Facebook and Twitter, and the assessment framework that could be used to competently and consistently assess hate actors. A. Definitions What is your working definition of anti-Muslim hatred and/or Islamophobia? What are the advantages and potential pitfalls of such definitions? 6.

  • First Century Fox Inc and Sky Plc; European Intervention Notice
    Rt Hon Karen Bradley Secretary of State for Digital Culture Media and Sport July 14 2017 Dear Secretary of State Twenty-First Century Fox Inc and Sky plc; European Intervention Notice The Campaign for Press and Broadcasting is responding to your request for new submissions on the test of commitment to broadcasting standards. We are pleased to submit this short supplement to the submission we provided for Ofcom in March. As requested, the information is up-to-date, but we are adding an appeal to you to reconsider Ofcom’s recommendation to accept the 21CF bid on this ground, which we find wholly unconvincing in the light of the evidence we submitted. SKY NEWS IN AUSTRALIA In a pre-echo of the current buyout bid in the UK, Sky News Australia, previously jointly- owned with other media owners, became wholly owned by the Murdochs on December 1 last year. When the CPBF made its submission on the Commitment to Broadcasting Standards EIN to Ofcom in March there were three months of operation by which to judge the direction of the channel, but now there are three months more. A number of commentaries have been published. The Murdoch entity that controls Sky Australia is News Corporation rather than 21FC but the service is clearly following the Fox formula about which the CPBF commented to Ofcom. Indeed it is taking the model of broadcasting high-octane right-wing political commentary in peak viewing times even further. While Fox News has three continuous hours of talk shows on weekday evenings, Sky News Australia has five.

  • Still Anti-Asian? Anti-Chinese? One Nation Policies on Asian Immigration and Multiculturalism
    Still Anti-Asian? Anti-Chinese? One Nation policies on Asian immigration and multiculturalism 仍然反亚裔？反华裔？ 一国党针对亚裔移民和多元文化 的政策 Is Pauline Hanson’s One Nation party anti-Asian? Just how much has One Nation changed since Pauline Hanson first sat in the Australian Parliament two decades ago? This report reviews One Nation’s statements of the 1990s and the current policies of the party. It concludes that One Nation’s broad policies on immigration and multiculturalism remain essentially unchanged. Anti-Asian sentiments remain at One Nation’s core. Continuity in One Nation policy is reinforced by the party’s connections with anti-Asian immigration campaigners from the extreme right of Australian politics. Anti-Chinese thinking is a persistent sub-text in One Nation’s thinking and policy positions. The possibility that One Nation will in the future turn its attacks on Australia's Chinese communities cannot be dismissed. 宝林·韩森的一国党是否反亚裔？自从宝林·韩森二十年前首次当选澳大利亚 议会议员以来，一国党改变了多少？ 本报告回顾了一国党在二十世纪九十年代的声明以及该党的现行政策。报告 得出的结论显示，一国党关于移民和多元文化的广泛政策基本保持不变。反 亚裔情绪仍然居于一国党的核心。通过与来自澳大利亚极右翼政坛的反亚裔 移民竞选人的联系，一国党的政策连续性得以加强。反华裔思想是一国党思 想和政策立场的一个持久不变的潜台词。无法排除一国党未来攻击澳大利亚 华人社区的可能性。 Report Philip Dorling May 2017 ABOUT THE AUSTRALIA INSTITUTE The Australia Institute is an independent public policy think tank based in Canberra.

  • The NSW 2011 Election: a Tale of Hubris, Knaves and Scallywags
    The NSW 2011 election: a tale of hubris, knaves and scallywags Elaine Thompson* On March 28, 2011, some 4,635,810 electors were enrolled to vote at the four-year fixed term election in New South Wales. The results were no surprise; indeed they were a foregone conclusion, with the Labor government which had been in power for 16 years, resoundingly defeated in both houses. The reasons were not hard to find: massive hubris by a government which itself admitted it had ignored voters’ wishes and needs; promises made on much-needed infrastructure that were started and then dropped; ever-present scandals and accusations of corruption and indifference;1 sweetheart deals and suspected personal patronage;2 party apparatchiks from Labor headquarters in Sydney’s Sussex Street 3 being seen to be dominating and directing policy, premiers and pre- selection;4 the midnight last-minute privatisation of electricity; the cynicism of placing Treasurer Eric Roozendahl at the top of Labor’s upper house ticket;5 abuse of the parliamentary processes;6 large numbers of ministerial and other resignations in the year leading up to the election (22 in total); and, in the last months, a premier who attempted to distance herself from her own party.7 The 2011 election was not helped for Labor by the extremely late selection of candidates for a number of seats8 and the selection of some extremely poor candidates. Labor also had alienated many ethnic voters, particularly the Chinese by its treatment of former prime minister, Kevin Rudd. Moreover, as with all voters, Labor had neglected what had been its strong ethnic base, while the opposition leader, Barry O’Farrell, had been courting this base for the four years leading up to the election, a courtship which paid off in 2011 according to election analyst Antony Green, as well as analyst of ethnic communities, Professor Andrew Jacubowicz.9 * Dr Elaine Thompson is a former editor of the Australasian Parliamentary Review, retired associate professor of politics from UNSW and long-time commentator on elections and parliament.

  • Election Campaign Offered Voters a Clear Ideological Choice
    5 IDEOLOGY AND POPULISM Carol Johnson1 The 2019 Australian federal election campaign offered voters a clear ideological choice. However, this was largely due to Labor’s ambitious agenda that sought to address issues of rising inequality and to increase government revenue to fund government services and benefits. The Liberal Party’s ‘small target’ strategy articulated its more neoliberal ideological position largely via critiquing Labor’s tax and spending policies. The election campaign also displayed elements of both left-wing and right- wing populism, in which ‘we the people’ are mobilised against a perceived predatory enemy: ‘them’. In a shift away from neoliberal ideological perspectives, Labor depicted itself as representing the people (particularly the working and middle classes) against the more economically privileged ‘top end of town’. Scott Morrison took a more neoliberal populist position, mobilising the people against big government by depicting himself as an ordinary bloke trying to stop Labor from ripping off and spending taxpayers’ money. Two minor right-wing parties displayed more fully blown populist agendas and were a significant source of preferences for the Coalition Government—namely, Pauline Hanson’s One Nation (PHON) and Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party (UAP). 1 This chapter draws on some material from an Australian Research Council–funded project (DP140100168), ‘Expanding equality: A historical perspective on developments and dilemmas in contemporary Australian social democracy’. My thanks to the discussants (Frank Bongiorno and Mark Evans), the convenors and other participants at the 2019 federal election workshop for their feedback on the initial draft of this chapter. 91 MORRISON'S MIRACLE Given that much of the Liberals’ campaign was focused on critiquing Labor’s economic policy, this discussion will begin with an analysis of Labor’s position, before moving to an analysis of the Liberals’ position as the major party in the Coalition.
