    The Right to Authentic Political Communication by Ann Elizabeth Rees M.A., Simon Fraser University, 2005 B.A., Simon Fraser University, 1980 Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Communication Faculty of Arts and Social Science Ann Elizabeth Rees 2016 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2016 Approval Name: Ann Elizabeth Rees Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Title: The Right to Authentic Political Communication Examining Committee: Chair: Katherine Reilly, Assistant Professor Peter Anderson Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Catherine Murray Supervisor Professor Alison Beale Supervisor Professor Andrew Heard Internal Examiner Associate Professor Political Science Department Paul Thomas External Examiner Professor Emeritus Department of Political Studies University of Manitoba Date Defended/Approved: January 22, 2016 ii Abstract Increasingly, governments communicate strategically with the public for political advantage, seeking as Christopher Hood describes it to “avoid blame” and “claim credit” for the actions and decisions of governance. In particular, Strategic Political Communication (SPC) is becoming the dominant form of political communication between Canada’s executive branch of government and the public, both during elections and as part of a “permanent campaign” to gain and maintain public support as means to political power. This dissertation argues that SPC techniques interfere with the public’s ability to know how they are governed, and therefore undermines the central right of citizens in a democracy to legitimate elected representation by scrutinizing government and holding it to account. Realization of that right depends on an authentic political communication process that provides citizens with an understanding of government. By seeking to hide or downplay blameworthy actions, SPC undermines the legitimation role public discourse plays in a democracy.

  • JOINT STATEMENT Premier and Minister for the Arts the Honourable Annastacia Palaszczuk Minister for Education and M
    JOINT STATEMENT Premier and Minister for the Arts The Honourable Annastacia Palaszczuk Minister for Education and Minister for Tourism, Major Events, Small Business and the Commonwealth Games The Honourable Kate Jones Premier welcomes direct flights from Shanghai to Brisbane Queensland has become the first Australian state to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with China Eastern Airlines in a landmark agreement set to deliver a $22 million tourism boost for the State, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced today. Ms Palaszczuk said the agreement came off the back of a meeting she had with China Eastern during her trade trip in China last month. Minister for Tourism and Major Events, Kate Jones, signed the MOU in China overnight. Ms Palaszczuk said the agreement secured a new, year­round Shanghai­Brisbane direct service which will commence in November 2016 with three flights each week. “This new service is a win for tourism, bringing approximately 36,500 additional travellers and generating more than $22 million for the economy each year,” she said. “It comes in addition to a seasonal China Eastern service between Shanghai and Cairns providing access for up to 13,000 visitors each year to Tropical North Queensland, the state’s northern gateway to the Great Barrier Reef.” Minister Jones said the development underlined the Palaszczuk Government’s commitment to growing the Asian visitor market. “Chinese travellers represent Queensland’s largest international visitor market by expenditure, spending more than $833 million in the year to June 2015, an increase of 43% on the last financial year,” she said. “Queensland attracted 360,000 visitors from mainland China in 2014­15 and Tourism Research Australia forecasts China will overtake New Zealand as Australia’s dominant tourism market within five years.

  • Ap2 Final 16.2.17
    PALASZCZUK’S SECOND YEAR AN OVERVIEW OF 2016 ANN SCOTT HOWARD GUILLE ROGER SCOTT with cartoons by SEAN LEAHY Foreword This publication1 is the fifth in a series of Queensland political chronicles published by the TJRyan Foundation since 2012. The first two focussed on Parliament.2 They were written after the Liberal National Party had won a landslide victory and the Australian Labor Party was left with a tiny minority, led by Annastacia Palaszczuk. The third, Queensland 2014: Political Battleground,3 published in January 2015, was completed shortly before the LNP lost office in January 2015. In it we used military metaphors and the language which typified the final year of the Newman Government. The fourth, Palaszczuk’s First Year: a Political Juggling Act,4 covered the first year of the ALP minority government. The book had a cartoon by Sean Leahy on its cover which used circus metaphors to portray 2015 as a year of political balancing acts. It focussed on a single year, starting with the accession to power of the Palaszczuk Government in mid-February 2015. Given the parochial focus of our books we draw on a limited range of sources. The TJRyan Foundation website provides a repository for online sources including our own Research Reports on a range of Queensland policy areas, and papers catalogued by policy topic, as well as Queensland political history.5 A number of these reports give the historical background to the current study, particularly the anthology of contributions The Newman Years: Rise, Decline and Fall.6 Electronic links have been provided to open online sources, notably the ABC News, Brisbane Times, The Guardian, and The Conversation.

  • Premier and Minister for Trade the Honourable Annastacia Palaszczuk
    7/24/2020 Palaszczuk Govt secures more AFL teams and games for Cairns - The Queensland Cabinet and Ministerial Directory Premier and Minister for Trade The Honourable Annastacia Palaszczuk Friday, July 24, 2020 Palaszczuk Govt secures more AFL teams and games for Cairns Cairns will stage at least three AFL Premiership games this year and host two AFL teams for up to a month in a deal secured by the Palaszczuk Government that will inject millions of dollars into the city’s economy. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk today confirmed the deal struck with the AFL to move two clubs to Cairns. “Due to the way Queenslanders have managed this health crisis, we can now focus on Queensland’s plan for economic recovery,” she said. “Queensland is now the home of Australian sport. We’ve worked hard to make sure that Cairns gets a piece of the action. “Having more teams and more games in Cairns will pump millions of dollars into the local economy and support jobs – helping us execute our plan for economic recovery.” Tourism Minister Kate Jones said major sporting events would be crucial to rebuilding Queensland’s economy and supporting local jobs. “Not only are we bringing AFL games back to Cairns but relocating two teams to the city for three to four weeks,” she said. “This will fill hotel rooms, create business for local suppliers and give a boost to the tourism economy. “Never before has Cairns hosted so many AFL games in one season so to be able to bring three games and possibly four to the city is a real coup.” Member for Cairns Michael Healy said the Palaszczuk Government would continue to work with the AFL to extract as much value as possible out of the deal for local businesses.

The article alleges I misled the Parliament on 30 November 2016, when answering a question without notice asked by the Member for Cook, Mr Billy Gordon MP. The Member for Cook queried if either the Director-General of Education or myself had provided the internal audit reports relating to Cape York Academy and/or the Cape York Aboriginal Australian Academy to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation or any other media outlet. In my response, I stated "My understanding is that the audits were undertaken by the department of education and that they were released to the ABC under the right to information legislation." Mr Speaker, I submit I have not committed the offence of contempt of Parliament. There are three elements to be proven in order to establish that a Member has committed the contempt of deliberately misleading the House: 1. The statement must have been misleading; 2.

  • Irreconcilable Differences: the Corporatization of Canadian Universities
    Irreconcilable Differences: The Corporatization of Canadian Universities by Jamie Brownlee A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology (Specialization in Political Economy) Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014, Jamie Brownlee Abstract To date, there has yet to be a comprehensive national study of university corporatization in Canada. This study addresses this gap by reviewing the empirical basis, history, root causes and evolution of the transformation of higher education in Canada that has taken place over the past four decades. In this research, “corporatization” is used to refer to the process and resulting outcomes of the ascendance of business interests, values and models in the university system. Throughout the study, my two primary questions of interest are: (i) how has the corporatization of Canadian universities taken shape?; and (ii) what are the consequences of this restructuring both for higher education and society at large? The study begins with a brief historical review of the relationship between education and various sources of power, as well as some of the competing perspectives that have been used to explain university restructuring. I then review the main manifestations of the corporatization process, beginning with a detailed analysis of the casualization of academic labour. Drawing on a new and unique dataset collected through access to information requests, I provide a detailed account of the rise in the number of part-time and full-time contractually limited appointments in a number of Ontario institutions and discuss some of the impacts of this change.
