  • Analysis of AEC Donation Data 1998-1999 to 2014-2015 Gambling Industry Interests
    Analysis of AEC donation data 1998-1999 to 2014-2015 Gambling industry interests Interim report 2 – Australian Hotels Association – Federal and State affiliates Dr Charles Livingstone and Ms Maggie Johnson School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine Monash University Introduction and disclosure In Australia, donors to political parties or associated entities are required to disclose donations above a particular threshold. The current threshold is set at $13,000 and is the subject of annual indexation linked to CPI. There has been continuing controversy in relation to the current system of disclosing donations, including the relatively high threshold and the significant delay in publication of the data, use of associated entities to avoid clear disclosure, and inappropriate use of taxpayer funded resources to facilitate fundraising (see, for example a recent episode of Four Corners, and Fairfax media articles on the Liberal Party linked Millennium Forum and fundraising activity in the Victorian electorate of Menzies). However, some data are published on the Internet by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) on an annual basis. These data have the potential to provide information about the financial influence exerted on policy and politicians by corporate and other vested interests. All data referred to in this report are sourced from the AEC unless otherwise specified. The research reported in this interim report is intended to provide information to the Alliance for Gambling Reform (which commissioned and funded the research), and to support the preparation of research papers as a component of an Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Project (LP130100046) in which the author is a Chief Investigator.

  • Parliamentary Chronicles
    PARLIAMENTARY CHRONICLES Polls, pundits and parliamentarians Harry Phillips* The pervasive influence of public opinion polling in contemporary Australian politics, and the wider ‘Western’ world, has become a topic of keen debate. Relevant historic literature has focussed on major electoral prediction errors, particularly the 1936 and 1948 Presidential contests in the United State and the 1945 defeat of Winston Churchill in the United Kingdom. With far smaller scientifically based demographic samples Gallup Poll founder George Gallup achieved better results. In Australia, with the advantage of compulsory registration and voting, polling agencies have regularly achieved reliable results within certain confidence levels. How then do such results colour judgements of the performance of governments and oppositions and their respective leaders? How do polls help determine the campaign strategies for political parties? More broadly, has the pervasiveness of polling had a negative impact on politics, particularly policy formulation? The Western Australia Chapter of the Australasian Study of Parliament Group decided to focus its annual seminar on ‘Polls, Pundits and Parliamentarians’. Two keynote speakers with relevant expertise addressed the seminar, notably Keith Patterson of Patterson Market Research and William Bowe, the author of ‘The Poll Bludger’ electoral blog. This was followed by a panel presentation with Liberal Party MLA, Joe Francis; Labor MLA, Bill Johnston; and the Greens(WA) MLC Hon Alison Xamon. In 1988 Keith Patterson arrived in Western Australia to establish a research agency and for over twenty years has conducted Westpoll for the West Australian newspaper. After graduating with a commerce degree Patterson was recruited by the Melbourne Age to be its research manager.

  • The House of Representatives Results Ben Raue
    7 The House of Representatives Results Ben Raue At the 2016 Australian federal election, the first-term Liberal–National Coalition government faced a significant swing against it, suffering a net loss of 12 seats. The government managed to win a narrow majority, with just 76 out of 150 seats. This chapter covers the results of the election in the House of Representatives, focusing on key electoral contests, as well as explaining the electoral system used for the House of Representatives, redistributions conducted prior to the elections, by-elections held during the previous term, the number of nominations made for the House of Representatives and the impact of preferences on the election result. Electoral system The House of Representatives is the lower house of Australia’s bicameral parliament. Elections are usually held simultaneously with elections for the upper house (Senate), although Senate elections are conducted using a method of proportional representation. House of Representatives elections are due once every three years. Australia’s House of Representatives consists of 150 members, each elected to represent a single-member constituency. Members are elected using compulsory preferential voting, with voters required to effectively choose preferences between every candidate on the ballot. If no candidate wins more than half of the vote, 159 DOUBLE DISILLUSION the vote for the lowest-polling candidate is redistributed according to the preferences of that candidate’s voters, and this process is repeated until a candidate has a majority of the vote. Due to this preferential voting system, this chapter will refer to the vote for candidates before and after preferences are distributed.

  • Tweet Style: Campaigning, Governing, and Social Media In
    Tweet Style: Campaigning, Governing, and Social Media in Australia Abstract. When politicians use the new tools of social media to talk directly to voters, how strategic are these communications? Do lawmakers change how they present themselves in different situations, tweeting differently during campaigns and when their party is out of power, or tailoring their ‘tweet style’ to the preferences of constituents? I explore these questions by categorizing 291,091 tweets by sitting legislators in Australia, a nation that features variation in electoral systems in its two legislative houses and which held an election after widespread adoption of social media. When their party controls government, politicians tweet about their personal characteristics and about daily events more often, avoiding clear ideological positions. When an election is called, politicians both in government and in the opposition tweet toward their own sides of the ideological spectrum. Key Words: Twitter, Australia, campaigns and elections, social media, machine learning, content analysis Word Count: 7969 For America’s president and for thousands of politicians across the globe, tweeting has become an increasingly prominent form of political communication. For scholars examining the rhetoric of elected officials, candidates, and even of protesters, Twitter has become an increasingly promising and vital arena to study (Bruns and Moon 2018, Grant et al. 2010, Bruns and Highfield 2013, Bruns and Moon 2018, Graham et al. 2013, Evans, Cordova, and Sipole 2014, Evans and Clark 2016, Graham et al. 2016, 2017, McGregor et al. 2016). It provides a vast repository of statements by a wide range of politicians, holding constant their medium of communication whether they are in a campaign cycle or in government.

  • 'I'm Not Expecting to Lose …': the Election Overview and Campaign Narrative
    2 ‘I’m Not Expecting to Lose …’: The Election Overview and Campaign Narrative Marija Taflaga and John Wanna The countdown to a combative election The quotation from Malcolm Turnbull in the chapter title reflected the restrained optimism of the newly installed prime minister facing his first election as leader in the dying days of the 2016 federal election campaign. He spoke these prophetic words reluctantly when asked persistently by TV personality Annabel Crabb on her show Kitchen Cabinet about his expectations of the outcome. While Turnbull’s prediction would ultimately prove accurate (only just!), Turnbull and his Coalition colleagues would get the fright of their lives when the counting began. This chapter provides a chronology of the federal election campaign of 2016. It explores the antecedents of the main events and outcomes, and looks to provide reasons for the largely unexpected closeness of the eventual result. The chapter is broadly divided into five parts: (1) the background context and government’s leadership transition along with the delicate timing and deliberate preparations for a double-dissolution election; (2) the flurry of last-minute policy announcements and budgetary measures; (3) the meandering nature of the lengthy campaign from the standpoint of the main protagonists followed by the resort to 17 DOUBLE DISILLUSION banal sloganeering; (4) the volatile election outcome and the descent into uncertainty; and, finally, (5) the immediate aftermath of the election and an assessment on the wisdom of calling a double dissolution.

  • Shad the Lea Mem the Ow Mi Feder E Hon B Der of Mber
    THE HON BILL SHORTEN MP LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION MEMBER FOR MARIBYRNONG THE HON JENNY MACKLIN MP SHADOW MINISTER FOR DISABILITY REFORM FEDERAL MEMBER FOR JAGAJAGA TRRANSCRIPT JOINT DOORSTOP TREASURY GARDENS, MELBOURNE FRIDAY, 25 OCTOBER 2013 Subbjects: Abbott Government Walking Away from DisabilityCare and selling off Medibank Private, Infrastructure, NSW Bushfires, Don Randall MP. Bill Shorten: It's great to be here in Melbourne with Labor's Shadow Disability Spokesperson, Jenny Macklin. Today, Labor is gravely concerned at reports in the media that the Coalition Government is considerinng scaling back the National Disability Insurance Scheme – DisabilityCare - or indeed abolishing it and moving it to Medibank Private. Yesterday we had reports that the Coalition Government was goinng to consider engaging in a fire sale to sell Medibank Private and then today we've got reports from Dr Steve Hambleton, the President of the AMA, expressing his concernn that if Medibank Private is privatised, then what will happen is there will be upward pressure on health premiums. But even more disturbingly, we find that whilst the Government is looking at privatising important health insurance assets which will put upward pressure on families' cost of living, that now the Government's looking at putting at risk the National Disability Insurance Scheme - DisabilityCare. Labor is justifiably proud of the work we've done to bring in people with disability and their carers from the cold, from their second-class life in Australia, through the provision of DisabilityCare. It is not right and Labor will fight tooth and nail to make sure that the Coalition keeps its hands off DisabilityCare, the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
