  • ENG4111 Preliminary Report
    University of Southern Queensland Faculty of Engineering and Surveying Own Identification of contributing factors for the success of toll roads in Australia under Public Private Partnerships A Dissertation submitted by Mr Luke Diffin In fulfilment of the requirements of Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) October 2015 ABSTRACT In Australia, Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) have been established as a common method for governments to deliver major road infrastructure projects. Success of PPPs has varied when measured against Government, Community, Market and Industry interests. Some projects have failed financially while still having a positive impact on the community. Other projects have failed to reach delivery stage as a result of community objections. The holistic success of PPP toll roads is ultimately determined by the needs of major project participants being satisfied in an unbiased equilibrium manner. PPP toll roads delivered in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne have had varying degrees of financial success, however there are other vitally important factors to be considered. Tollways directly contribute to travel time savings, vehicle operating cost savings, reduced accidents and vehicle emissions and can make a contribution to the overall economic performance of a city. Therefore these pieces of infrastructure contribute to society as a whole and not just the investors who provide capital for the projects. Even with recent financial failings of PPP toll roads, Governments within Australia are still actively pursuing the PPP model to deliver road infrastructure. Lessons must be learnt from past failures to ensure the successful delivery and operation of future projects. Overall success will be a result of finding a balance between the needs of Government, Private Sector and Society.

    Australian Journal of Politics and History: Volume 53, Number 4, 2007, pp. 614-667. Political Chronicles Commonwealth of Australia January to June 2007 JOHN WANNA The Australian National University and Griffith University Shadow Dancing Towards the 2007 Election The election year began with Prime Minister John Howard facing the new Opposition leader, Kevin Rudd. Two developments were immediately apparent: as a younger fresher face Rudd played up his novelty value and quickly won public support; whereas Howard did not know how to handle his new “conservative” adversary. Rudd adopted the tactic of constantly calling himself the “alternative prime minister” while making national announcements and issuing invitations for summits as if he were running the government. He promised to reform federal-state relations, to work collaboratively with the states on matters such as health care, to invest in an “education revolution”, provide universal access to early childhood education, and to fast-track high-speed broadbanding at a cost of $4.7 billion. Rudd also began to stalk and shadow the prime minister around the country — a PM “Doppelgänger” — appearing in the same cities or at the same venues often on the same day (even going to the Sydney cricket test match together). Should his office receive word of the prime minister’s intended movements or scheduled policy announcements, Rudd would often appear at the location first or make upstaging announcements to take the wind from the PM’s sails. Politics was a tactical game like chess and Rudd wanted to be seen taking the initiative. He claimed he thought “it will be fun to play with his [John Howard’s] mind for a while” (Weekend Australian Magazine, 10-11 February 2007).

  • 13-Clune Nsw Election 07
    ‘Morris’ Minor Miracle’: The March 2007 NSW Election ∗ David Clune Carr Crashes Bob Carr was triumphantly re-elected in March 2003. Labor won 56.20% of the two-party preferred vote and 55 of the 93 electorates. The Government consolidated its hold on many of its marginal seats. The Opposition failed to regain any of the ground lost in 1999. Carr radically reconstructed his Ministry and began to implement his third term agenda. The Government looked unassailable. Then it all began to fall apart. In December 2003, a report by the Health Care Complaints Commission into allegations by whistleblower nurses confirmed alarming failings in relation to care and treatment of patients at Camden and Campbelltown hospitals. Up to 19 patients died unnecessarily between 1999 and 2003. Chronic underfunding and staff shortages had led to this disastrous situation. The revelations about Camden and Campbelltown were followed by a flood of similar allegations about other hospitals. 1 The confidence of the citizens of NSW in their health care system, and the Government’s ability to manage it, was severely shaken. In early 2004, there was a drastic decline in the quality of Sydney’s train service. The railway network’s ageing infrastructure had been causing problems for some time. The immediate crisis was triggered by a shortage of drivers, the medical retirement of a number of drivers as a result of strict new fitness tests, and the ∗ Manager, Research Service, NSW Parliamentary Library and Adjunct Lecturer in Government, University of Sydney. The opinions expressed are those of the author not the NSW Parliamentary Library.

  • 2003 New South Wales Election
    2003 New South Wales Election Antony Green * On 22 March 2003 the NSW Labor Government led by Premier Bob Carr became the first government in Australia to win three consecutive four-year terms. The election brought little change to the composition of the Houses or in the vote. This account analyses the election result in the light of the fortunes of both Government and Opposition in the previous four years. The New South Wales election on 22 March 2003 was the third in the State since introduction of fixed four-year terms. As with its two predecessors, the election produced a campaign that struggled to move out of first gear. With fixed terms having denied the media and political parties the adrenalin fix of early election speculation, a peculiar form of political ballet seems to have developed, where the Government denies it has begun campaigning, the Opposition insists the Government has, and the media avoid treating the contest as a real campaign for as long as possible. As in 1995 and 1999, the Parliament was adjourned at the end of the previous year to a notional sitting week in February, providing a safety net in case Parliament needed to be re-convened. Parliament was prorogued on 31 January, though the campaign could not formally begin until the fixed-term provisions dissolved the Legislative Assembly on 28 February. 1 Writs were issued on the same day producing a 23-day campaign, four days longer than the minimum allowed under legislation. Nevertheless, this was still shorter than the minimum period permitted in any other state, and 10 days short of the minimum for Commonwealth elections.

  • Front Matter
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-13832-1 - Power Crisis: The Self-Destruction of a State Labor Party Rodney Cavalier Frontmatter More information Power Crisis The self-destruction of a state Labor Party Written by former minister and Labor historian Rodney Cavalier, Power Crisis is an explosive account of the self-destruction of the New South Wales Labor government, which has seen a turnover of four premiers in five years, and is heading for rejection and even humiliation by voters at the next state election. While the catalyst was the thwarted attempt to privatise elec- tricity, Cavalier reveals that the real issue is the takeover of Labor by a professional political class without connection to the broader community or the party’s traditions. Drawing on history to illumi- nate the crisis, this book spans the ALP’s history from its origins as a party for the workers, the bitter split over conscription in 1916, the triumph of 24 years of unbroken rule and the policy innovation of the Wran era, to the rise of values-free careerism. Featuring interviews with ex-premiers Iemma and Rees, Power Crisis contrasts the current turmoil and self-indulgence with the stability within New South Wales Labor over generations before, and asks, ‘What went wrong?’ Rodney Cavalier is a political historian. He was Minister for Educa- tion in the Wran and Unsworth governments and writes frequently for the press and in academic publications on politics, the ALP and sport. He remains an active and despairing member of the Labor Party. © in this web service
