Policy Life Cycle Analysis of Three Australian State-Level Public
Article Journal of Development Policy Life Cycle Policy and Practice 6(1) 9–35, 2021 Analysis of Three © 2021 Aequitas Consulting Pvt. Ltd. and SAGE Australian State-level Reprints and permissions: in.sagepub.com/journals-permissions-india Public Policies: DOI: 10.1177/2455133321998805 Exploring the journals.sagepub.com/home/jdp Political Dimension of Sustainable Development Kuntal Goswami1,2 and Rolf Gerritsen1 Abstract This article analyses the life cycle of three Australian public policies (Tasmania Together [TT], South Australia’s Strategic Plan [SASP,] and Western Australia’s State Sustainability Strategy [WA’s SSS]). These policies were formulated at the state level and were structured around sustainable development concepts (the environmental, economic, and social dimensions). This study highlights contexts that led to the making of these public policies, as well as factors that led to their discontinuation. The case studies are based on analysis of parliamentary debates, state governments’ budget reports, public agencies’ annual reports, government media releases, and stakeholders’ feedback. The empirical findings highlight the importance of understanding the political dimension of sustainable development. This fact highlights the need to look beyond the traditional three-dimensional view of sustainability when assessing the success (or lack thereof) of sustainable development policies. Equally important, the analysis indicates that despite these policies’ limited success (and even one of these policies not being implemented at all), sustainability policies can have a legacy beyond their life cycle. Hence, the evaluation of these policies is likely to provide insight into the process of policymaking. 1 Charles Darwin University (CDU), Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia. 2 Australian Centre for Sustainable Development Research & Innovation (ACSDRI), Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. -

Sixteen Years of Labor Government in South Australia, 2002-2018
AUSTRALASIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW Parliament in the Periphery: Sixteen Years of Labor Government in South Australia, 2002-2018* Mark Dean Research Associate, Australian Industrial Transformation Institute, Flinders University of South Australia * Double-blind reviewed article. Abstract This article examines the sixteen years of Labor government in South Australia from 2002 to 2018. With reference to industry policy and strategy in the context of deindustrialisation, it analyses the impact and implications of policy choices made under Premiers Mike Rann and Jay Weatherill in attempts to progress South Australia beyond its growing status as a ‘rustbelt state’. Previous research has shown how, despite half of Labor’s term in office as a minority government and Rann’s apparent disregard for the Parliament, the executive’s ‘third way’ brand of policymaking was a powerful force in shaping the State’s development. This article approaches this contention from a new perspective to suggest that although this approach produced innovative policy outcomes, these were a vehicle for neo-liberal transformations to the State’s institutions. In strategically avoiding much legislative scrutiny, the Rann and Weatherill governments’ brand of policymaking was arguably unable to produce a coordinated response to South Australia’s deindustrialisation in a State historically shaped by more interventionist government and a clear role for the legislature. In undermining public services and hollowing out policy, the Rann and Wethearill governments reflected the path dependency of responses to earlier neo-liberal reforms, further entrenching neo-liberal responses to social and economic crisis and aiding a smooth transition to Liberal government in 2018. INTRODUCTION For sixteen years, from March 2002 to March 2018, South Australia was governed by the Labor Party. -

Adelaide Thinkers in Residence
Adelaide Thinkers in Residence - A Model for Delivering Systemic Innovation Brenda Kuhr Director, Adelaide Thinkers in Residence Department of the Premier and Cabinet, South Australia [email protected] GPO Box 2343, Adelaide, 5001 In 2003, the Premier of South Australia, the Hon Mike Rann, MP, initiated a program he had envisioned whilst in opposition. The initiative ‘Adelaide Thinkers in Residence’ has been operating since that time. Each year the Premier invites up to four internationally renowned experts to come to the state for 2 - 6 months to help explore and find original solutions to issues and challenges. The program has hosted fourteen Thinkers to date. Each appointment is aligned to objectives and targets of South Australia’s Strategic Plan and residency activities are designed to deliver tangible benefits for the state in areas that have included health, education, social innovation, the arts, the environment, science, research and economic development. This includes transferring knowledge and skills; generating new ideas, programs, alliances and collaborations; building local capacity; developing industry; and providing world-class advice. Over the past five years, Thinkers have helped South Australia position itself nationally and internationally as an innovative and dynamic community for living, working, investing and doing business. The Thinkers provide strategic advice to the residency partners who come from government, non-government, business, industry and community organisations. Enduring Legacies The ATIR program uses principles and practices based on the family of theories focussed on systems thinking, as the framework to build social and economic capital as well as robust adaptive capacity. The approach recognises that complex organisations are non-linear and do not lend themselves to predictability. -

The specific focus is the parliament of South Australia, where the existence of the Legislative Council recently came under threat. Prior to the 2006 State election, the Premier of South Australia, Mike Rann, announced that, concurrent with the 2010 State election, a referendum would be held at which the people of South Australia would be able to decide the future of the Legislative Council. They were to be presented with three options: the retention of the Legislative Council with no changes made; a reduction in the size of the Legislative Council from 22 members to 16, and a reduction in the term length served by members from eight years to four years; and finally, the abolition of the Legislative Council (the stated preferred position of Rann). -
Harry Bardwell Writes About BACKS to the BLAST
Harry Bardwell Backs To The Blast Reminiscences on making the film In 1977 I moved from Perth to Adelaide after getting a basic understanding of filmmaking by producing and directing some short films through PIFT (FTI), working as a trainee at ABC Perth and going to night school at WAIT (now Curtin University). At that time I thought Don Dunstan’s South Australia with the SAFC was the happening place for film in Australia. I created my own production company “Composite Films” and began making corporate documentaries for the SAFC with the likes of Ron Saunders, Justin Milne, Andrew Prowse, Gus Howard and Geoff Simpson. I also worked at the SA Media Resource Centre where Glenys Rowe made me the Equipment Officer. My job was to raise money from the AFC to buy filmmaking equipment, rent it out, service it and run workshops on how to use it. Soon we were making films using portapaks, umatics, a second hand 16mm BL camera and an ancient cast iron flatbed editor bought with assistance from the AFC’s Murray Brown – God bless him! Besides Glenys, my MRC mates included Frank Maloney, Kim Lewis, Ned Lander, Graeme Isaacs, Cathy Robinson, Aggy Read, Ian De Gruchy, and Michael “Zippy” Zerman. We were the dudes of East Rundle St. We thought of ourselves as pretty hot filmmakers but really we were just emerging practitioners in a small town. Unlike many of my counterparts who were interested in making alternative auteur media or trying to make a feature, I had since the beginning of my media career been primarily interested in making TV documentaries. -
