    Julie Bishop and Malcolm Turnbull took to Twitter to deny Ben Fordham’s claims they had secret meeting in Sydney DAVID MEDDOWS THE DAILY TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY 05, 2015 4:29PM Malcolm Turnbull and Julie Bishop have taken to social media to deny they had planned a secret meeting in Sydney today. Picture: Supplied THE political rumour mill went into overdrive today when a Sydney radio host suggested Julie Bishop and Malcolm Turnbull had arranged a secret meeting in Sydney. 2GB host Fordham took to Twitter this afternoon claiming that Bishop and Turnbull would be meeting at the Communication Minister’s house sometime today. “Interesting fact - @JulieBishopMP and @TurnbullMalcolm have arranged to meet at his Sydney home today,” the Tweet read. But the pair quickly fired back denying the claims. The Communications Minister even provided happy snaps to prove his whereabouts. “you need to improve yr surveillance! I am on the train to Tuggerah. PoliticsinPub Nth Wyong 2nite,” wrote. “No Ben. At 11.30 am I was not meeting w @JulieBishopMP - after a meeting at NBNCo I was waiting for a train at Nth Sydney,” he said. Mr Turnbull was heading to the Central Coast where he was meeting with local MP Karen McNamara. Just to prove his point he posted pictures from the train trip and one hugging a sign at Tuggerah station. “Arrived at our destination! @BenFordham looking forward to discussing broadband with Karen Mcnamara MP,” he said. Still not convinced, Fordham asked one more time for confirmation from Mr Turnbull. “At the risk of coming across as obsessed, can I kindly ask you confirm you did not meet Julie today? *ducks rotten fruit*” he asked on Twitter.

    CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY Speech Minister for Foreign Affairs, Julie Bishop MP US-Australia: The Alliance in an Emerging Asia Washington DC, 22 January 2014 I’m delighted to be back in Washington just 2 months after our annual Australian-US Ministerial Dialogue with Secretaries Kerry and Hagel last November. Each time I come to Washington I am buoyed by the warm welcome – the kind of warmth that exists between trusted and long-standing friends. It reminds me of the story of Maie Casey – the wife of Richard Casey, Australia’s first Ambassador to the United States, who took up his position in February 1940. In the spirit of Eleanor Roosevelt, Maie Casey was an intrepid aviator and often flew her own plane around the US. 1 CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY On one return flight to Washington, DC, Maie was coming in to land, but the control tower couldn’t understand her. After a few failed attempts to communicate, the control tower detected the Aussie accent and said, “I can’t understand a word you say Bright Eyes, but come on in anyway”. Now that’s trust. Ours is an alliance based on trust. An alliance that is both dependable and dynamic. We’re true friends who share common values, whose interests overwhelmingly align. In this year, a century on from the commencement of the Great War of 1914-18, we can reflect on the fact that over those 100 years the US and Australia have fought side-by-side in every major conflict in which either of us have been engaged.

AGREEMENT AMENDMENT BILL 2020 Second Reading Resumed from an earlier stage of the sitting. MRS L.M. HARVEY (Scarborough — Leader of the Opposition) [2.56 pm]: I rise to continue my remarks about this amending legislation. I put on the record once again that the position of the Liberal Party room was a consensus position to not oppose this legislation. I would like to get on the record that we do not support the actions of Clive Palmer, which is why we are not opposing this legislation. During question time, I asked the Premier whether he would support a short sharp committee inquiry. It is ridiculous to say that the suggestion of a committee inquiry or that contentious legislation go to a committee to potentially strengthen it is in any way, shape or form showing that the legislation is not supported. That is ridiculous. The amending legislation in front of us is backdated to have effect from 11 August. It was read in just after 5.00 pm yesterday so that Mr Palmer and his lawyers could not get wind of it and could not lodge a writ in court. It needed to be read in yesterday after that opportunity had lapsed. The legislation is backdated to be effective from yesterday, 11 August 2020, at around about 5.00 pm. Should the upper house choose to send it to a committee to potentially strengthen it and ward off a potential High Court challenge, it could be done and dusted by 15 September.

    22. Gender and the 2013 Election: the Abbott 'Mandate'

    22. Gender and the 2013 Election: The Abbott ‘mandate’ Kirsty McLaren and Marian Sawer In the 2013 federal election, Tony Abbott was again wooing women voters with his relatively generous paid parental leave scheme and the constant sight of his wife and daughters on the campaign trail. Like Julia Gillard in 2010, Kevin Rudd was assuring voters that he was not someone to make an issue of gender and he failed to produce a women’s policy. Despite these attempts to neutralise gender it continued to be an undercurrent in the election, in part because of the preceding replacement of Australia’s first woman prime minister and in part because of campaigning around the gender implications of an Abbott victory. To evaluate the role of gender in the 2013 election, we draw together evidence on the campaign, campaign policies, the participation of women, the discursive positioning of male leaders and unofficial gender-based campaigning. We also apply a new international model of the dimensions of male dominance in the old democracies and the stages through which such dominance is overcome. We argue that, though feminist campaigning was a feature of the campaign, traditional views on gender remain powerful. Raising issues of gender equality, as Julia Gillard did in the latter part of her prime ministership, is perceived as electorally damaging, particularly among blue-collar voters. The prelude to the election Gender received most attention in the run-up to the election in 2012–13 rather than during the campaign itself. Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s famous misogyny speech of 2012 was prompted in immediate terms by the Leader of the Opposition drawing attention to sexism in what she perceived as a hypocritical way.

Australia under the leadership of Prime Minister Turnbull has a cooperative foreign policy direction towards China. Therefore, OBOR investments offered by the Chinese government to the Australian government initially received a positive and optimistic response to the huge returns from infrastructure investments in Northern Australia where it coincided with the Australian government that intensifying massive infrastructure development in Northern Australia. However, Australia’s position in the OBOR cooperation was not clear with the rejection of the signing of the OBOR MoU by the Australian government. In this case, the author attempts to explain the shift in Australia’s position in OBOR through group level of analysis by explaining small-group decision units as well as multiple autonomous units. Furthermore, to explain how then the unit’s decision works, the author provide identification of the decision units contained in small groups and multiple autonomous groups, explaining how organizational structure of leaders to groups, as well as providing further small group analysis through the decision tree. 1 INTRODUCTION Turnbull seeks to avoid tension and emphasizes the existence of mutually beneficial cooperation Australia’s foreign policy under the government of between the two (Tyler, 2016).
