  • Political Chronicles Commonwealth of Australia
    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).

  • Thesis August
    Chapter 1 Introduction Section 1.1: ‘A fit place for women’? Section 1.2: Problems of sex, gender and parliament Section 1.3: Gender and the Parliament, 1995-1999 Section 1.4: Expectations on female MPs Section 1.5: Outline of the thesis Section 1.1: ‘A fit place for women’? The Sydney Morning Herald of 27 August 1925 reported the first speech given by a female Member of Parliament (hereafter MP) in New South Wales. In the Legislative Assembly on the previous day, Millicent Preston-Stanley, Nationalist Party Member for the Eastern Suburbs, created history. According to the Herald: ‘Miss Stanley proceeded to illumine the House with a few little shafts of humour. “For many years”, she said, “I have in this House looked down upon honourable members from above. And I have wondered how so many old women have managed to get here - not only to get here, but to stay here”. The Herald continued: ‘The House figuratively rocked with laughter. Miss Stanley hastened to explain herself. “I am referring”, she said amidst further laughter, “not to the physical age of the old gentlemen in question, but to their mental age, and to that obvious vacuity of mind which characterises the old gentlemen to whom I have referred”. Members obviously could not afford to manifest any deep sense of injury because of a woman’s banter. They laughed instead’. Preston-Stanley’s speech marks an important point in gender politics. It introduced female participation in the Twenty-seventh Parliament. It stands chronologically midway between the introduction of responsible government in the 1850s and the Fifty-first Parliament elected in March 1995.

  • 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.
