  • Oil and Gas Industry Welcomes Shadow Ministry
    3 June 2019 Oil and gas industry welcomes shadow ministry APPEA welcomes Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese’s appointment of a new shadow ministry and urges both sides of politics to focus on policies to attract investment and enhance Australia’s global competitiveness, while maintaining affordable, reliable and cleaner energy supply for Australians. APPEA Chief Executive Andrew McConville said bipartisan support has been the cornerstone of the industry’s growth and the ongoing support of both major parties would be critical to its future success. “The oil and gas industry particularly welcomes the appointment of Joel Fitzgibbon as Shadow Minister for Agriculture and Resources,” Mr McConville said. “Mr Fitzgibbon’s deep understanding of the resources industry, and his recognition of the central role it plays to the national economy and to local communities across regional Australia, will be a welcome addition to the shadow cabinet. “Having Matt Keogh appointed to the role of Shadow Minister for Western Australian Resources is also a welcome addition and recognises the critical importance of the resources industry in that state as a driver of the national economy.” More than $350 billion worth of new investment into Australia’s oil and gas industry over the past 10 years has delivered a game-changing sector for Australia. “Australia is now the world’s leading exporter of liquefied natural gas – a cleaner-burning energy source that is critical to the region’s growth and demand for energy, the world’s transition to a lower emissions future and will deliver decades of economic growth, jobs and revenues for Australia,” Mr McConville said.

  • Australia: Background and U.S. Relations
    Order Code RL33010 Australia: Background and U.S. Relations Updated August 8, 2008 Bruce Vaughn Specialist in Asian Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Australia: Background and U.S. Relations Summary The Commonwealth of Australia and the United States are very close allies. Australia shares similar cultural traditions and values with the United States and has been a treaty ally since the signing of the Australia-New Zealand-United States (ANZUS) Treaty in 1951. Australia made major contributions to the allied cause in both the first and second World Wars and has been a staunch ally of Britain and the United States in their conflicts. Under the former Liberal government of John Howard, Australia invoked the ANZUS treaty to offer assistance to the United States after the attacks of September 11, 2001, in which 22 Australians died. Australia was one of the first countries to commit troops to U.S. military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. In October 2002, a terrorist attack on Western tourists in Bali, Indonesia, killed more than 200 persons, including 88 Australians and seven Americans. A second terrorist bombing, which killed 23, including four Australians, was carried out in Bali in October 2005. The Australian Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia, was also bombed by members of Jemaah Islamiya (JI) in September 2004. Kevin Rudd, of the Labor Party, was elected prime minister on November 24, 2007. While Rudd has fulfilled an election promise to draw down Australian military forces in Iraq and has reversed Australia’s position on climate change — by signing the Kyoto protocols — relations with the United States remain very close.

  • Inquiry Into Electoral and Political Party Funding
    Submission No 83 INQUIRY INTO ELECTORAL AND POLITICAL PARTY FUNDING Organisation: Terrigal Area Residents Association “TARA” Inc Name: Ms Sue Edwards Position: President Telephone: 4385-6020 Date received: 13/02/2008 Terrigal Area Residents Association “TARA” Inc. 2007-08 Officers President: Sue Edwards Vice-President: Ted Sandeman Secretary: Mary Johnsson Treasurer: Ted Edwards P.O. Box 523, Terrigal 2260 Submission by email to: [email protected] 13 February 2008 The Legislative Council Select Committee on Electoral and Political Party Funding TARA welcomes the Legislative Council of NSW’s initiative on 27.06.07 in appointing a select committee to inquire into and report on the funding of, and disclosure of donations to, political parties, and candidates in state and local government elections. It is disappointing, however, that apart from the media release on 15.11.07 and a call for submissions on 19.11.07 little publicity has been given to this matter. The period 19.11.07 - 15.02.07 (closure of submissions) conveniently some might add, coincided with Federal Elections, Christmas and the January holidays. All media attention is currently on the return to Parliament of the new Federal Government and The Sorry Bill. One must ask the Question: Who could fund the advertising to raise awareness of the people of the Inquiry by this Select Committee into Electoral & Political Party Funding? The Liberal Party? The Labour Party? The Unions? The Development Industry? The Association of Hotels, The Gaming/Racing Industry? The Food Industry? The big Corporations? The answer of course is “NO” because all of the above are either major donors or major beneficiaries of electoral and political donations, and it would not be in their interest.

  • The Evolution of the Australian Defence Force Gap Year Program
    RESEARCH PAPER SERIES, 2013–14 8 MAY 2014 The evolution of the Australian Defence Force Gap Year program Dr Nathan Church Foreign Affairs, Defence and Security Executive summary • Through the Australian Defence Force (ADF) Gap Year program and the preceding Ready Reserve scheme, Australian school-leavers have had the opportunity to experience full-time military training without the obligations of longer-term initial periods of service. • Both these initiatives were designed as cost-effective means of increasing the ADF’s capability and flexibility in its personnel requirements. The Gap Year program was particularly successful in attracting more female recruits into the ADF. • However, despite receiving generally positive independent evaluations, both the Gap Year program and Ready Reserve scheme were unable to fully develop and expand as expected, due in part to reduced budgetary circumstances. These initiatives also came to prove too restrictive and often incompatible with broader ADF requirements, which meant that the ADF could not fully support the substantial training burden associated with them. • Since the cancellation of the Gap Year program in 2012, the ADF has continued to support the concept of reducing initial periods of service for new recruits, offering a selection of roles within the Army and Air Force with an initial full-time commitment of either one or two years. The current Government has also announced the re-establishment of the Gap Year Program, to commence in early 2015.

  • Polling – Minister and Shadow Minister Recognition
    Polling – Minister and Shadow Minister recognition April 2019 Key Results The Australia Institute surveyed a nationally representative sample of 1,426 Australians about which current and recent Ministers and Shadow Ministers they had heard of. Names appeared in a randomised order for each question. Key Findings: • Bill Shorten (77%) has pipped Scott Morrison (75%) as most recognised leader • Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack is recognised by 28% of voters, while Deputy Liberal leader Josh Frydenberg is recognised by 46% and Deputy Labor leader Tanya Plibersek recognised by 48% • Julie Bishop retires with the highest name recognition (77%) of all current Coalition Ministers and those retiring this election • The most recognised female Cabinet member recontesting election is Michaelia Cash (31%), while the most recognised female Shadow Minister is Penny Wong (64%), who is also the most recognised Shadow Minister overall apart from Leader Bill Shorten Figure 1 shows the top results for the Coalition Government. A quarter (25%) of respondents had no name recognition of Prime Minister Scott Morrison (75% recognition). In recent years, the government has lost many of its best known cabinet ministers to retirement or the backbench (displayed in orange). At the next federal election, the retirement of Julie Bishop and Christopher Pyne leaves only two Ministers recognised by most Australians: Scott Morrison (75%) and Peter Dutton (68%). Two of the three most recognised women Ministers are retiring, leaving Michaelia Cash as the most recognised
