Juila Gillard, 45, Says the Problem for Women in Politics Is That There Is Not a Set Image of What a Woman Leader Should Look Like
Juila Gillard, 45, says the problem for women in politics is that there is not a set image of what a woman leader should look like.

Over the last month the Signatories have been working intensively and in good spirit in an attempt to reach an agreement which optimises wood supply, conservation and community outcomes.

The attached report, which is provided in accordance with Clause 45 of the Tasmanian Forests Intergovernmental Agreement, gives further detail on these issues. As set out in the report, the Signatories believe that a short extension until 23 July 2012 is both necessary and valuable to enable us to complete some additional analysis and finalise our negotiations.

Administration of the Economic Security Strategy Payment
Administration of the Economic Security Strategy Payment AN EXAMINATION OF THE IMPLEMENTATION, MONITORING AND REVIEW OF THE SCHEME November 2009 Report by the Commonwealth Ombudsman, Prof. John McMillan, under the Ombudsman Act 1976 REPORT NO. 16|2009 Reports by the Ombudsman Under the Ombudsman Act 1976 (Cth), the Commonwealth Ombudsman investigates the administrative actions of Australian Government agencies and officers. An investigation can be conducted as a result of a complaint or on the initiative (or own motion) of the Ombudsman. The Ombudsman Act 1976 confers five other roles on the Commonwealth Ombudsman—the role of Defence Force Ombudsman, to investigate action arising from the service of a member of the Australian Defence Force; the role of Immigration Ombudsman, to investigate action taken in relation to immigration (including immigration detention); the role of Postal Industry Ombudsman, to investigate complaints against private postal operators; the role of Taxation Ombudsman, to investigate action taken by the Australian Taxation Office; and the role of Law Enforcement Ombudsman, to investigate conduct and practices of the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and its members. There are special procedures applying to complaints about AFP officers contained in the Australian Federal Police Act 1979. Complaints about the conduct of AFP officers prior to 2007 are dealt with under the Complaints (Australian Federal Police) Act 1981 (Cth). Most complaints to the Ombudsman are resolved without the need for a formal report. The Ombudsman can, however, culminate an investigation by preparing a report that contains the opinions and recommendations of the Ombudsman. A report can be prepared if the Ombudsman is of the opinion that the administrative action under investigation was unlawful, unreasonable, unjust, oppressive, improperly discriminatory, or otherwise wrong or unsupported by the facts; was not properly explained by an agency; or was based on a law that was unreasonable, unjust, oppressive or improperly discriminatory.

It is their first rise since July 2007 after Prime Minister Kevin Rudd last year instigated a 12-month freeze. The increase is lower than the average 3.9% delivered in federal agreements for the June quarter this year (see see Related Article yesterday), but still comes at a time when the AFPC in its final decision before being abolished froze the rates of minimum wage earners. While the Tribunal usually makes its determinations effective from July 1, it has this year delayed the increase until October, reducing its value over the 12 months to 2.25%. The rise will take backbenchers' base salary to $131,040 from $127,060. Rudd will now earn $340,704, and Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard $268,632. Under the pay freeze Rudd put in place, there was no catch-up capacity. The parliamentary base salary is linked to the Remuneration Tribunal's executive office structure, and the increase applies to other public offices in its jurisdiction.

5. Women in Australian Politics: Mothers Only Need Apply
CONTEMPORARY GENDER ISSUES 5. Women in Australian politics: Mothers only need apply ABSTRACT When Julia Gillard considered running for the leadership of the Austral- ian Labor Party in early 2005, her political enemies immediately raised three reasons for opposing her: she is female, single and without children. These criticisms prompted a flurry of discussion in the media about the relevance of a person’s family situation to their ability to work effectively in politics. This article examines the treatment of female politicians by the press over the more than 80 years since the first woman appeared in any Australian parliament. It finds that there continues to be pressure on women to continue in the traditional roles of wife and mother, while more recently, female politicians have had to contend with an extra layer of coverage concentrating on their sexual attributes. CATHY JENKINS Griffith University, Queensland Introduction N JANUARY 2005 the Australian Labor Party was in the throes of elect- ing a new leader. One of those considering running to replace outgoing Ileader Mark Latham was Julia Gillard, a frontbencher who had proved her mettle in the shadow portfolios of immigration, indigenous affairs and health. But there were perceived problems. Gillard is female, single and child free, and her political enemies wasted no time in using these attributes as weapons against her. Many media outlets were prepared to jump on the sin- gle-and-child-free issue, with help from their political sources. ‘The relation- ship between sources and journalists resembles a dance, for sources seek access to journalists, and journalists seek access to sources, but more often than not, sources do the leading’ (Gans 1979, p.

National Police Service Medal
THE HISTORY OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NATIONAL POLICE SERVICE MEDAL 1 Almost since the Police Long Service and Good Conduct Medal was replaced by the National Medal in 1975 police associations and unions have been advocating the reintroduction of a police specific service award. At the 2006 Australasian Police Commissioners’ Conference, Commissioners received a submission and presentation from the Police Federation of Australia (PFA) regarding a proposal for a police-specific national medal to be awarded under the Australian Honours and Awards System. The underpinning argument of the PFA was that the awarding of a specific medal to sworn police officers would be a substantial acknowledgement of the unique role that sworn police officers play in the preservation of peace, the protection of life and property and the maintenance of law and order throughout Australia and overseas. The Commissioners’ Conference supported the PFA’s proposal and undertook to progress the award by setting up a Working Party with representatives from all jurisdictions, as well as the PFA. In the lead up to the 2007 Federal Election the PFA sought the following commitment from all political parties – “The PFA seeks your commitment to replacing the current National Medal with a new National Police Service Medal specifically for sworn members of Australia’s police forces.” The ALP won that election and incoming Prime Minister Kevin Rudd made the commitment that his government would support the proposal and enter into discussions with State and Territory Governments to seek an agreement. A submission was subsequently provided to the Prime Minister, which he endorsed.
