  • 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.

  • 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).

  • An Overview of the Development of Recent Resource Rent Tax Proposals Introduction
    Chapter 2 An overview of the development of recent Resource Rent Tax proposals Introduction 2.1 This chapter provides an historical overview of the development of recent resource rent tax proposals from the original Henry Tax Review recommendation to the Resources Super Profits Tax (RSPT) and its successors, the Mineral Resources Rent Tax (MRRT) and the expanded onshore Petroleum Resources Rent Tax (PRRT). 2.2 The overview presented in this chapter identifies the key issues that are elaborated upon in more detail elsewhere in this report. They include the: deeply flawed and secretive process which has dogged the development of the RSPT and its successors the MRRT and expanded PRRT; poor design of the MRRT and expanded PRRT, which: introduces a new tax on top of the existing royalty and income tax arrangements making our tax system more complex and less fair; reduces Australia's international competitiveness as an attractive investment destination; gives an unfair competitive advantage to the three big multi-national, multi-commodity and multi-project companies who were given the exclusive opportunity by the government to negotiate the design of this new tax with all their competitors and other stakeholders locked out of the process; makes federal budget outcomes hostage to decisions by state and territory governments about their royalty arrangements; raises serious and unresolved constitutional issues; and links a highly volatile and downward trending revenue stream to a projected increasing cost of related budget measures, which will worsen the Commonwealth Budget's structural deficit over time. 2.3 Following the election of the Labor Government in 2007, the Treasurer Wayne Swan announced a comprehensive review of Australia's tax system, the Australia's Future Tax System Review (also known as the Henry Tax Review).

  • Factions and Fractions: a Case Study of Power Politics in the Australian Labor Party
    Australian Journal of Political Science, Vol. 35, No. 3, pp. 427– 448 Factions and Fractions: A Case Study of Power Politics in the Australian Labor Party ANDREW LEIGH Of ce of the Shadow Minister for Trade, Canberra Over the past three decades, factions have cemented their hold over the Australian Labor Party. This has largely been due to the entrenchment of the proportional representation of factions. One of the effects of the institutionalisa- tion of factions has been the development of factional sub-groupings (‘frac- tions’). This article analyses the phenomenon by looking at a case study of a single ALP faction—the Left in New South Wales. Since 1971, two major fractions have developed in the NSW Left, based on ideological disagreements, personality con icts, generational differences and arguments over the role of the union movement in the ALP. This development parallels the intra-factional splits that have occurred in many other sections of the Labor Party. Yet the factional system in the 1980s and 1990s operated relatively effectively as a means of managing power. The question now is whether it can survive the challenge of new issues that cross-cut traditional ideological lines. Introduction Factionalism in the Australian Labor Party (ALP) is a phenomenon much remarked upon, but little analysed. Like the role of the Ma a in Italian politics, few outside the system seem to understand the power networks, whilst few inside are prepared to share their thoughts with the outside world. Yet without understanding factions, it is impossible to properly comprehend the Labor Party. Every organisation, and certainly every political party, contains organised power groupings.

  • 2. Ministers As Ministries and the Logic of Their Collective Actiontable
    2. Ministers as Ministries and the Logic of their Collective Action John Wanna As recounted in the opening chapter, ministerial responsibility is primarily understood and studied as a formal accountability process with the emphasis largely on individual ministerial accountability and the occasional resignation. This preoccupation with individual responsibility reflects a British obsession with the behaviour of the particular minister (Dowding and Kang 1998; Woodhouse 1994) or a scepticism of the observance of collective responsibility, especially when governments disintegrate—the so-called ‘myth/fallacy’ argument (see Dell 1980; Weller 1985). There is generally less attention paid to the dimensions of collective ministerial responsibility and the politics of maintaining cohesion, other than the seminal acknowledgment by constitutionalists of the need for cabinet solidarity in modern parliamentary government (Crisp 1973, 353; Dicey 1885; Jennings 1959), and the incantation of the political requirement in modern- day ministerial codes (see Australian Government, Cabinet Handbook, 2009, ss. 15–24). Collective ministerial responsibility is arguably a far less formal form of accountability, interpreted largely by the prime minister, and exercised through political expedience, some malleable conventions and frequent reinterpretation. Moreover, collective responsibility is defined and given expression not only in the (positive) requirements for collegial solidarity, but also in the degree of latitude shown to dissention and to breaches of the principles. As will be explored below, ministers are political actors who are simultaneously individual and collective entities. They play out these dual but overlapping roles across a range of interactions in which they more or less engage. These interactions occur with their contemporaries at the centre of government (around cabinet and its political, symbolic and decision-making processes), in their relations with senior officials and their departments, with the public service and media and with the wider community.
