  • Over Policing; the Need for Execuitive Accountability During the Covid-19 Crisis
    Inquiry into the Victorian Government's Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic Submission no. 20 OVER POLICING; THE NEED FOR EXECUITIVE ACCOUNTABILITY DURING THE COVID-19 CRISIS JACQUELINE WRIGHT I INTRODUCTION Following the Victorian Government’s health response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Public Accounts and Estimates Committee have commenced a public inquiry to consider the effectiveness of the Victorian Government approach.1 This submission addresses the terms of reference of the inquiry by considering the lack of transparency surrounding Victoria’s over policing of vulnerable communities in response to the COVID-19 crisis. This submission considers this lack of transparency around the policing of assembly and movement, in light of executive responsibility as a principle of public law. This submission argues that the Victorian response to the COVID-19 crisis lacks transparency and effective reporting necessary for executive accountability. II EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY Whilst it is important for the Executive Government to be capable of and empowered to respond to a crisis be it war, natural disaster, financial crisis,2 or indeed a health emergency, a level of accountability is essential to prevent an executive power grab. In ascertaining the scope of power of the executive, the cautionary words of Dixon J come to mind: History and not only ancient history, shows that in countries where democratic institutions have been unconstitutionally superseded, it has been done not seldom by those holding the executive power.

  • Non-Mainstream Media Coverage Peter Chen
    20 Non-Mainstream Media Coverage Peter Chen From a media diversity perspective, Australia’s standing as an established democracy is not strong. When compared with peer democracies, Australia has the most concentrated media system in the world (Australian Collaboration 2015). The causes of this are various, but include comparatively small market size, ‘dumping’ of English-language content into the Australian market and lacklustre media policy that has facilitated media conglomerates to consolidate their market share (Winseck 2008). As part of this story, the popularisation of the internet over the last two decades has been an exacerbating factor and corrective: undermining the economic basis of established commercial media and eroding domestic regulatory capacity, while at the same time providing the capacity for the establishment of ‘new presses’. This chapter focuses on the conduct and performance of these ‘new presses’ in the 2016 federal election campaign. While the majority of these new media groups happens to be an internet-based press, the emphasis of this chapter is not on the technological basis of supply per se, but on their relative newness into the Australia marketplace. This breaks with a traditional tendency to see ‘new media’ as internet-based media, an increasingly meaningless classification tool given the increasing incorporation of new technology into the established media, as discussed by Andrea Carson and Brian McNair (Chapter 19, this volume). 453 DOUBLE DISILLUSION Method The primary research method employed for this chapter is the content analysis of articles published in 10 ‘new’ Australian-based1 publications— each less than seven years old2—that published material during the formal election period from 8 May to 1 July 2016 inclusive.

It occurs in Eastern and South-Eastern Australia, mostly in large forested areas. The Powerful Owl mates for life, which can be over 30 years, and nests in large tree hollows in eucalypt trees that are at least 150 years old. The Powerful Owl is threatened with extinction and would have been severely impacted by the recent wildfires in Australia. It is also adversely affected by high-frequency prescribed burning, as this reduces its food supply of smaller birds and mammals.

  • The Coalition's Plan for Fast Broadband and An
    THE COALITION’S PLAN FOR FAST BROADBAND AND AN AFFORDABLE NBN APRIL 2013 The Coalition will deliver fast, affordable and reliable broadband to all Australians. We will complete the National Broadband Network as quickly and cost-effectively as possible, using a mix of technologies that will provide high speeds at a reasonable cost. Our goal is for every household and business to have access to broadband with a download data rate of between 25 and 100 megabits per second by late 2016. Downloads average less than five megabits per second at present.1 Suburbs, regions, towns and business districts with the poorest services and greatest need for upgrades will receive first priority. Key prices for a Coalition NBN will be capped nationally, ensuring Australians in metropolitan and regional areas alike can obtain services at fair prices. By contrast, under Labor’s NBN wholesale charges per user will triple by 2021.2 To put further downward pressure on prices, the Coalition will unshackle the competitive telecom market that Labor tried to stamp out, and reduce the cost of the NBN to prudent levels. To ensure accountability we will require NBN Co (the government-controlled company building the network) to release more information more often to the taxpayers paying its bills. We will resolve the greatest failure of current broadband policies: the up to two million households and businesses across Australia that cannot get basic fixed broadband after more than five years of Labor government. Broadband infrastructure is necessary for our digital future, but on its own it is not sufficient. Businesses, governments and communities must be creative and energetic in finding areas where the NBN opens the way for new, better, less costly or more convenient services and amenities.

    6 THE PERSONALISATION OF THE CAMPAIGN Paul Strangio and James Walter This chapter considers the characteristics of the leaders of the major parties, Scott Morrison and Bill Shorten, the circumstances with which they were confronted and the way opportunities were seized or lost to confound the widespread expectations that had preceded the 2019 election campaign. The media’s inordinately ‘leader-centric’ bias in campaign reporting is long- established. Yet it might have been thought that the bitter experience of leadership turmoil in both parties of government over the previous decade would have put a brake on public expectations that the ‘right’ leader would provide the solution to present dilemmas. Indeed, some commentators remarked that ‘Australia has had enough of messianic leaders for a while’ (Hartcher 2019a). The Labor Party’s campaign—choreographed as a team effort—seemed apt if such a transition in leadership style proved better attuned to the zeitgeist. For their part, Liberal Party MPs were reportedly unhappy with the ‘presidential’ aspect of Malcolm Turnbull’s campaign at the 2016 election and reluctant to see a reversion to the leader ‘standing in’ for the party (Crowe 2019). And yet, this was precisely what defined the campaign, as Morrison, ‘the Messiah from the Shire’, contrived what had seemed an improbable victory. Leader-centrism appears once more to have been endorsed. Observers argued that Morrison had ‘to carry the operation because there’s no alternative’ (Murphy 2019b). On the other hand, it rapidly became apparent that playing the lone fighter, battling the odds against what 107 MORRISON'S MIRACLE appeared to be an ascendant Labor Party, suited Morrison’s combative temperament and played to his strong suit.
