  • 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and not only ancient history, shows that in countries where democratic institutions have been unconstitutionally superseded, it has been done not seldom by those holding the executive power.

  • The Minority Report
    THE MINORITY REPORT Inquiry into the Victorian Government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. INTRODUCTION On 23 April 2020, in the Victorian Parliament during Question Time, the Premier of Victoria, the Hon Daniel Andrews MP, stated confidently: “[The Public Accounts and Estimates Committee] is the pre-eminent committee in our Parliament, and it ought to be given the opportunity to review the performance of the government. I am confident that it will do that without fear or favour.”1 The Andrews Labor Government’s handling of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, in particular the deadly second wave outbreak of infections, has been nothing short of disastrous. It has had dramatic impacts on all Victorians, with the loss of more than 800 lives, hundreds of thousands of jobs, many thousands of businesses and the deprivation of the liberty of millions of Victorians. The Public Accounts and Estimates Committee (PAEC) was given the task of reviewing the Government’s handling of the biggest health, social and economic crisis in generations. In the view of the minority members of the Committee, this was the wrong choice. A committee dominated by Labor Government members and chaired by a Labor Government member, with both a deliberative and a casting vote on all matters, would never deliver the necessary critical examination or accountability necessary in this crisis. Evidence gathered in preparation for this Inquiry showed that Victoria was the only jurisdiction in Australia with a Parliamentary committee reviewing a government response to the pandemic, with a government majority. When fundamental mistakes made by government caused a second wave of COVID-19 that cost 800 Victorian lives, deepened and extended Victoria’s social and economic misery and led to enormous imposts of the liberty of Victorians, a committee dominated by a Labor Government majority was entirely inappropriate.

  • An Examination of Australians of Hellenic Descent in the State Parliament of Victoria
    LOUCA.qxd 15/1/2001 3:19 ìì Page 115 Louca, Procopis 2003. An Examination of Australians of Hellenic Descent in the State Parliament of Victoria. In E. Close, M. Tsianikas and G. Frazis (Eds.) “Greek Research in Australia: Proceedings of the Fourth Biennial Conference of Greek Studies, Flinders University, September 2001”. Flinders University Department of Languages – Modern Greek: Adelaide, 115-132. An Examination of Australians of Hellenic Descent in the State Parliament of Victoria Procopis Louca Victoria, the second most populated State in Australia, is widely claimed to include as its capital the third largest Grecophone city in the world, after Athens and Thessaloniki. The Victorian State Parliament has more members of Greek and Cypriot (Hellenic) background, than any other jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Australia. Continuing a series of analyses of the role of elected State and Federal representatives of Hellenic descent in Australia (Louca, 2001), this paper will focus on the Victorian State Parliament, but with reference also to current and former Victorian Federal parliamentarians. There is an exploration of the cultural, political, social and personal influ- ences that guided these individuals to seek election to Parliament and their experiences as politicians with a Hellenic background. As at the beginning of 2002, six sitting members in the Victorian Parliament have a Hellenic background. Four represent the Australian Labor Party (ALP), two the Liberal Party. They are: Alex Andrianopoulos ALP Peter Katsambanis Liberal Nicholas Kotsiras Liberal Jenny Mikakos ALP John Pandazopoulos ALP Theo Theophanous ALP In addition to these current members, there are also two others who have re- tired from Parliament, or are deceased, Theo Sidiropoulos ALP (deceased) 115 Archived at Flinders University: dspace.flinders.edu.au LOUCA.qxd 15/1/2001 3:19 ìì Page 116 PROCOPIS LOUCA and Dimitri Dollis ALP (retired).

Summary The state of Victoria’s response to the corona virus pandemic is now the most examined and investigated of any jurisdiction in Australia – and possibly in the world. This is not surprising. The nation’s response to the pandemic is internationally recognised as a success. Within this generally positive story, Victoria’s second wave – dating from early May until the end of October 2020 – was the most significant failure. The second wave was caused by “leaks” of the virus from a hastily implemented and poorly managed hotel quarantine system for returned travellers. This case study draws on three inquiries into aspects of the Victorian government’s handling of the second wave and asks what lessons can be learned. The inquiries found systemic failures by government, as well as problems with decision- making reflecting on ministerial responsibility.

Together we support the Home Stretch campaign to offer out-of-home care until age 21. Increasing the age would provide significant benefit not only for some of the most vulnerable young people in our community but also to the legal and justice sectors, and we urge you to support the increase. Victorian youth justice advocacy coalition Smart Justice for Young People (SJ4YP) is the youth-specific arm of Smart Justice, led by the Federation of Community Legal Centres. SJ4YP brings together over 40 legal, youth, health, welfare and community organisations. Members include the Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service and the Law Institute of Victoria. Victoria Legal Aid (VLA) provides legal help to all Victorians, focusing on Victoria’s most disadvantaged. Almost all children and young people who have legal representation for a child protection or youth crime legal matter in Victoria have that legal assistance arranged and/or directly provided by VLA. Together, VLA and SJ4YP represent the most vulnerable people in our community, including children and young people.
