  • What Will a Labor Government Mean for Defence Industry in Australia?
    What will a Labor Government mean for Defence Industry in Australia? Hon Greg Combet AM Opinion polls suggest a change of government in the Australian Federal election in (expected) May 2019. An incoming Labor Government led by Bill Shorten will likely feature Richard Marles as Minister for Defence and Mike Kelly as Assisting Minister for Defence Industry and Support. Jason Clare, a former Minister for Defence Matériel, would likely have influence upon the defence industry portfolio in his potential role as Minister for Trade and Investment. Under a Labor Government, it is possible Shorten would appoint a new Minister for Defence Matériel (as has been an established practice for many years) given the magnitude of expenditure and complexity of the portfolio. Shorten and Marles have been associates since university and have been closely aligned during their trade union and political careers. With extensive practical experience of the Australian industry, Shorten and Marles have a record of working constructively with business leadership. Both have a sound understanding of the role and the significance of defence industry in Australia. Marles, in particular, has a greater interest in national security and strategic issues and would likely concentrate on these in the portfolio and delegate aspects of defence industry to a ministerial colleague. Labor’s defence industry policy was reviewed and adopted during the December 2018 Party National Conference. The policy is consistent with Labor’s approach when it was last in government, reiterating support for: • an Australian defence industry that provides the Australian Defence Force with the necessary capabilities; • sovereign industrial capability where required, specifically identifying naval shipbuilding; • an export focus; • the maximisation of the participation of small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) in defence projects; and • initiatives to develop workforce skills.

  • Hansart Interpreting Hansard Records
    HansART Interpreting Hansard Records THE ENVIRONMENT The following excerpts are taken directly from the Parliament of Australia Hansard records and have not been altered. In using Hansard, please be aware that the standardised style may have changed over time. 1 JOHN HOWARD MP, 1997 MINISTERIAL STATEMENT ON CLIMATE CHANGE Source: Parliament of Australia Since its election the government has addressed the critical issue of global warming in a way that effectively promotes Australia’s national interests. Those interests lie in both protecting Australian jobs and Australian industry whilst ensuring that Australia plays her part in the worldwide effort needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. From the start, we have made it plain that Australia would not accept an unfair share of the burden. We have rejected and will continue to reject mandatory uniform targets which advantage many developed countries to the distinct disadvantage of Australia. We have also made it plain that we are not prepared to see Australian jobs sacrificed and efficient Australian industries, particularly in the resources sector, robbed of their hard-earned, competitive advantage. Moreover, we have persistently stressed the need to involve developing countries as their participation is crucial to any lasting solution to the global warming problem. These principles have guided our approach to the greenhouse gas issue. 2 PETER MCGAURAN MP, 1997, RESPONSE TO A QUESTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE Source: Parliament of Australia I thank the member for Hinkler for his question. Representing, as he does, the city of Gladstone, he has a vital interest in all matters greenhouse. There is a great deal of misinformation and at times hysteria, often deliberately manufactured, about the issue of climate change.

  • The Foreign Minister Who Never Was
    The foreign minister who never was BY:DENNIS SHANAHAN, POLITICAL EDITOR The Australian March 02, 2012 12:00AM Cartoon by Peter Nicholson. Source: The Australian JULIA Gillard's ability to turn good news - a brilliant political strategy, a poignant moment, or an opportunity to become strong, credible and assertive - into bad news and dumb politics appears to be boundless. And, when the Prime Minister has a brain snap, makes an error of judgment or gets into trouble for a reflexive and ill-considered denial the finger is pointed towards staff, speech writers, the hate media, Tony Abbott, or most of all, Kevin Rudd. The mistakes she's admitted are those where she neglected to publicly apportion blame to Rudd as a dysfunctional, pathological leader, and this being the reason for her taking over as prime minister in June 2010. On Monday morning, after three politically debilitating months of unforced errors, media disasters and a destabilising campaign to gather support for a Rudd leadership challenge, Gillard was finally in the clear. After a brilliant political strategy to force Rudd's hand early, at least two weeks before he was prepared to go, Gillard was able to crush him in the Labor caucus ballot 71 to 31 votes. Although there was a strong element of voting against Rudd rather than for Gillard in the ballot, it saw off Rudd's chances for this parliamentary term at least and gave Labor a chance to regather its thoughts and try to redeem a seemingly hopeless position. Gillard set out her intentions, addressing the public: "I can assure you that this political drama is over and now you are back at centre stage where you should properly be and you will be the focus of all of our efforts." On the issue of reshuffling her ministry and whether she would be punishing Rudd supporters, Gillard declared: "My focus will be on having a team based on merit and the ability to take the fight up on behalf of Labor to our conservative opponents.

  • I'm Here for an Argument
    I’M HERE FOR AN ARGUMENT WHY BIPARTISANSHIP ON SECURITY MAKES AUSTRALIA LESS SAFE DR ANDREW CARR DISCUSSION PAPER | AUGUST 2017 I’m here for an argument Why bipartisanship on security makes Australia less safe Discussion paper Dr Andrew Carr Senior Lecturer – Strategic & Defence Studies Centre, Australian National University August 2017 I’m here for an argument 1 ABOUT THE AUSTRALIA INSTITUTE The Australia Institute is an independent public policy think tank based in Canberra. It is funded by donations from philanthropic trusts and individuals and commissioned research. We barrack for ideas, not political parties or candidates. Since its launch in 1994, the Institute has carried out highly influential research on a broad range of economic, social and environmental issues. OUR PHILOSOPHY As we begin the 21st century, new dilemmas confront our society and our planet. Unprecedented levels of consumption co-exist with extreme poverty. Through new technology we are more connected than we have ever been, yet civic engagement is declining. Environmental neglect continues despite heightened ecological awareness. A better balance is urgently needed. The Australia Institute’s directors, staff and supporters represent a broad range of views and priorities. What unites us is a belief that through a combination of research and creativity we can promote new solutions and ways of thinking. OUR PURPOSE – ‘RESEARCH THAT MATTERS’ The Institute publishes research that contributes to a more just, sustainable and peaceful society. Our goal is to gather, interpret and communicate evidence in order to both diagnose the problems we face and propose new solutions to tackle them. The Institute is wholly independent and not affiliated with any other organisation.
