  • Northern Territory Election 19 August 2020
    Barton Deakin Brief: Northern Territory Election 19 August 2020 Overview The Northern Territory election is scheduled to be held on Saturday 22 August 2020. This election will see the incumbent Labor Party Government led by Michael Gunner seeking to win a second term against the Country Liberal Party Opposition, which lost at the 2016 election. Nearly 40 per cent of Territorians have already cast their vote in pre-polling ahead of the ballot. The ABC’s election analyst Antony Green said that a swing of 3 per cent would deprive the Government of its majority. However, it is not possible to calculate how large the swing against the Government would need to be to prevent a minority government. This Barton Deakin brief provides a snapshot of what to watch in this Territory election on Saturday. Current composition of the Legislative Assembly The Territory has a single Chamber, the Legislative Assembly, which is composed of 25 members. Currently, the Labor Government holds 16 seats (64 per cent), the Country Liberal Party Opposition holds two seats (8 per cent), the Territory Alliance holds three seats (12 per cent), and there are four independents (16 per cent). In late 2018, three members of the Parliamentary Labor Party were dismissed for publicly criticising the Government’s economic management after a report finding that the budget was in “structural deficit”. Former Aboriginal Affairs Minister Ken Vowles, Jeff Collins, and Scott McConnell were dismissed. Mr Vowles later resigned from Parliament and was replaced at a by-election in February 2020 by former Richmond footballer Joel Bowden (Australian Labor Party).

  • Australia Needs a Universal Paid Pandemic Leave Scheme to Help Avoid a 2Nd Wave of COVID-19
    To: the Australian ‘National Cabinet’: The Right Hon Scott Morrison MP The Hon Steven Marshall MP Prime Minister of Australia Premier of South Australia The Hon Daniel Andrews MP The Hon Peter Gutwein MP Premier of Victoria Premier of Tasmania The Hon Annastacia Palaszczuk MP Andrew Barr MLA Premier of Queensland Chief Minister of the Australian Capital Territory The Hon Gladys Berejiklian MP Premier of New South Wales The Hon Michael Gunner MLA Chief Minister of the Northern Territory The Hon Mark McGowan MP Premier of Western Australia 26 May 2020 Australia needs a universal paid pandemic leave scheme to help avoid a 2nd wave of COVID-19 Our five organizations call upon the National Cabinet, the Federal Government and all state and territory governments to introduce a national paid pandemic leave scheme, administered by employers and funded by government. This is a critical public health intervention to guard against a second wave of infections, and needs to be implemented urgently. Australia has been successful in limiting the spread of SARS-Cov-2 [COVID-19] by implementing a broad range of public health measures. A key aspect of the response has been to implement social distancing and to restrict substantial parts of the economy to reduce the risk of community transmission. As these restrictions begin to ease and Australians return to workplaces, the possibility of increased community transmission grows. It will be essential to maintain extensive testing, and isolation of actual and suspected cases in order to avoid a second wave of infections. Staying home when sick is one of the core messages promoted to the public to reduce the spread of this coronavirus.
