  • Fairness Versus Choice: the Contested Discourses of 'Australian'
    Fairness Versus Choice: The Contested Discourses Of ‘Australian’ And ‘UnAustralian’ Values In The Industrial Relations Debate. Dr Kathie Muir Senior Lecturer, Gender, Work and Social Inquiry, School of Social Science, University of Adelaide Email: [email protected] Abstract The ACTU’s ‘Your rights at work’ campaign has broken new ground in employing SkyChannel and television advertising to deliver a unified and slick message about the dangers of the government’s WorkChoices legislation. President Sharan Burrow applauded ‘courageous working Australians’ prepared to stand up for their rights, families and communities by fighting to preserve national values of fairness, decency and a fair-go in the face of an ‘unprecedented attack’ on the rights of ordinary working people by the Howard government. The campaign therefore relied upon romanticised visions of nationalism as fairness, decency and people caring for each other, which Secretary Combet argued ‘beat as strongly in the hearts of [contemporary] Australians as they have for generations’. The appeal of this vision of fairness was (and is) essential to their on-going campaign to defeat the legislation and the coalition at the next federal election. Similarly, the government has sought to delegitimise the union campaign as undemocratic, bad for the economy, and out of date with current workplace realities; in other words, ‘unAustralian’. This paper examines the competing ways nationalism, fairness and choice have been deployed within both the government’s promotion of WorkChoices legislation and in the ACTU’s campaign to overturn the legislation.

  • Andrew Wilkie MP INDEPENDENT MEMBER for DENISON
    Andrew Wilkie MP INDEPENDENT MEMBER FOR DENISON 3 0 APR 2014 A submission to the Legal and Constitutional Affairs References Committee inquiry into the Incident at the Manus Island Detention Centre from 16 February to 18 February 2014 by the Independent Member for Denison, Andrew Wilkie MP This submission is a case study based on a first-hand account by an Australian G4S safety and security officer who was working at the Manus Island Detention Centre during the incident from 16 February to 18 February 2014. I am confident of the former guard's bona tides and that his motive is true. I was struck by the impact the incident has had on the former security officer who has a long military background. The former guard related his account to me because he wants the truth known about the events over this period and the poor workplace Australians worked in. He and his recollections did not form a part of the ABC Four Comers program broadcast Monday night 28 April 2014. The former guard wishes to remain anonymous because he has signed numerous confidentiality agreements with G4S and the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) about the release of information concerning the operation. I have written permission from the former guard to include his account in this case study, which follows as an attachment.

  • PM Will Rue Yet Another Bad Call
    PM will rue yet another bad call BY:DENNIS SHANAHAN, POLITICAL EDITOR From: The Australian October 10, 2012 12:00AM PETER Slipper has demonstrated better political judgment in apologising for his actions and resigning as Speaker than Julia Gillard has in digging in to defend him. Only hours after the Prime Minister voted to keep him in the chair and launched a ferocious personal attack on Tony Abbott for misogyny, she sat as a stony witness to Slipper's tearful resignation for the same failing and degradation of women. Rather than taking the initiative and leaving Slipper to fall on his sword, Labor went to full- blooded battle and tried to make political gains in its obsessive war on the Liberal leader. When it was obvious to everyone that the new trove of degrading sexual texts unearthed in court meant Slipper's career was over and that Labor should take the lead in his removal to justify its high moral stance on sexism and denigration of women, the Prime Minister dug in. Labor's defence of Slipper involved an offensive launched against Abbott as being as bad as the Speaker when it came to attitudes towards women. Although there was no moral equivalence with Slipper's sex texts to his adviser and jokes about jars of "pickled c . ts" and an ignorant bitch of an MP, Anthony Albanese and Gillard threw the allegations against Abbott to deflect the Coalition's efforts to remove the Speaker. Blind to public concern and outrage, Labor tried to hold on to Slipper to back its brilliant coup last year in getting him to defect and keep that precious one-seat buffer it lost when Tasmanian independent Andrew Wilkie dropped his guaranteed support after being dudded on a deal over limiting poker machines.

Greens Matters By Glenn Ibbett – Green Keeper After a busy start to the Bowling Season. The top green has sustained some damage to the ends. While some I expect wear and tear, it was more than I expected. So over the course of the Christmas New Year period. I have reseeded these areas and germination has started. So we can hope to get back onto this green in a couple of weeks. As for the bottom green. It has fared much better with minimal damage. Over the upcoming weeks/months I will be applying fertilisers and wetting agents to our greens to aid with quick recovery and to deter heat stress on those hot days that will be coming.
