Ties with China testify to Australia’s deft handling of foreign policy 15/12/18 John Howard The Australian Australia should never sell short its foreign policy achievements. I reflected on this during the high-level dialogue I attended in Beijing last week. I had been invited by former foreign minister Julie Bishop to lead Australia’s delegation. High-level dialogues, which involve a mixture of diplomats, former ministers, business figures and cultural leaders, and are conducted under Chatham House rules, facilitate much more direct discussion than is sometimes possible in the more formal exchanges between government officials. At last week’s dialogue our team included former Labor foreign minister Stephen Smith, whose contributions reinforced to our Chinese hosts the essentially bipartisan character and continuity of Sino-Australian relations, and Jennifer Westacott of the Business Council of Australia. Journalist Rowan Callick and author Richard McGregor, who have extensive background knowledge of China, also attended. The participation of National Museum of Australia director Mathew Trinca emphasised cultural links.

  • The Nicklin Government's Legislative Program
    5. The Nicklin government’s legislative program Frank Nicklin led a conservative government that believed steadfastly in the power of the state and the responsibility of governments to govern. His governments undertook a relatively activist legislative program, which was maintained over four succeeding parliaments throughout the decade of his premiership, 1957–68. The government’s legislative appetite generally increased with its tenure in office, reflecting perhaps increasing confidence in incumbency or the tendency for modern governments to resort to legislative solutions. Increased legislation was also part of modern society—in particular, the policy areas under the justice portfolio had large increases in legislation as more areas came under regulation and scrutiny. During its first term (1957–60), the government averaged 44 pieces of legislation per annum, then managed 54 per annum in the second term (1960–63), rising to 62 acts per annum during the thirty-seventh Parliament (1963–66). Even in his final year as Premier, Nicklin was responsible for steering 53 legislative measures through the Assembly. In total, the Nicklin government passed 591 pieces of legislation. Of this total, the number of new acts was 192 (or about 17 per parliamentary session), with 394 pieces of amending legislation (approximately 100 per parliament or 36 per session). Over the Nicklin decade, five repeal bills were passed (see Table 5.1). As Table 5.2 indicates, the government’s main legislative activity, judged according to the number of measures, was predominantly directed towards two areas: justice issues or measures under the Attorney-General’s portfolio (107 acts) and Treasury and financial measures (103 acts).

Columnist: John de Ridder Advertising: CEO and Editor in Chief, Andrew Matler: [email protected] • Tel: 0412 390 000 TELSTRA TO BUY STAKE IN SOUTHERN CROSS CABLE NETWORK Telstra has put pen to paper with the signing of a conditional agreement to take up a 25% equity interest in the US$300 million trans-Pacific Southern Cross Cable Network (SCCN). Telstra’s signing of the conditional agreement follows its announcement in December last year of its inking of a terms of purchase agreement and intention to take up a 25% equity stake, joining existing shareholders - Spark New Zealand, Singtel and Verizon Business - in the cable company. Telstra Enterprise Group Executive, Michael Ebeid, said Telstra’s investment in the NEXT cable will deliver benefits to all its customers – from enterprise to wholesale and consumer. “With 80 per cent of all the internet traffic to Australia coming from the US, a high speed, low latency direct route to North America is a very important investment for our business and our customers,” Ebeid said. "Southern Cross builds on our existing footprint across Asia Pacific where we carry 30 per cent of the region’s active capacity. We are now even better placed to meet our customers' future data requirements right across Asia Pacific.” SCCN announced on Tuesday that conditional agreements have been executed and regulatory approvals have been obtained to enable construction of the subsea cable to soon begin.

  • Queensland July to December, 2008
    Political Chronicles 279 Queensland July to December, 2008 PAUL D. WILLIAMS School of Humanities, Griffith University Overview The second half of 2008 underscored the end of Premier Anna Bligh's honeymoon with the Queensland electorate. Media and public outrage over an alleged lack of ministerial and bureaucratic integrity, continuing policy crises in water, health and education, and the spectre of a successfully merged Liberal-National Party all haunted government strategists powerless to halt Labor's public opinion decline. As the global financial crisis bit into Queensland's economy, it seemed all a "small target" LNP Opposition had to do was wait. July The period opened explosively when District Court Judge Hugh Boning dismissed charges against paedophile Dennis Ferguson on the grounds his notoriety would prevent a fair trial. Botting's judgment would be overturned in August after Attorney- General Kerry Shine ordered the Director of Prosecutions to appeal, but not before igniting fears of the allegedly errant surgeon Dr Jayant Patel — the so-called "Dr Death" of Bundaberg Hospital — escaping justice on similar grounds (see previous Chronicles). In the interim, the now released Ferguson was forced to relocate several 280 Political Chronicles times around South East Queensland, under expensive police protection, to evade angry local mobs. But the real soap opera belonged to the Liberal and National parties. On the eve of their merger, billionaire businessman Clive Palmer raised questions of political influence when he allegedly donated $100,000 to the cash-strapped Coalition (Courier Mail, 2 July 2008). Despite declaring an early intention to become inaugural Liberal- National Party (LNP) president, incumbent Liberal President Mal Brough soon dropped out, leaving just a Liberal Gary Spence and Nationals' President Bruce McIver.
