  • You Can Download the NSW Caring Fairly Toolkit Here!
    A TOOLKIT: How carers in NSW can advocate for change www.caringfairly.org.au Caring Fairly is represented in NSW by: www.facebook.com/caringfairlycampaign @caringfairly @caringfairly WHO WE ARE Caring Fairly is a national campaign led by unpaid carers and specialist organisations that support and advocate for their rights. Launched in August 2018 and coordinated by Mind Australia, Caring Fairly is led by a coalition of over 25 carer support organisations, NGOs, peak bodies, and carers themselves. In NSW, Caring Fairly is represented by Mental Health Carers NSW, Carers NSW and Flourish Australia. We need your support, and invite you to join the Caring Fairly coalition. Caring Fairly wants: • A fairer deal for Australia’s unpaid carers • Better economic outcomes for people who devote their time to supporting and caring for their loved ones • Government policies that help unpaid carers balance paid work and care, wherever possible • Politicians to understand what’s at stake for unpaid carers going into the 2019 federal election To achieve this, we need your help. WHY WE ARE TAKING ACTION Unpaid carers are often hidden from view in Australian politics. There are almost 2.7 million unpaid carers nationally. Over 850,000 people in Australia are the primary carer to a loved one with disability. Many carers, understandly, don’t identify as a ‘carer’. Caring Fairly wants visibility for Australia’s unpaid carers. We are helping to build a new social movement in Australia to achieve this. Unpaid carers prop up Australian society. Like all Australians, unpaid carers have a right to a fair and decent quality of life.

  • Election Inquiry to Hold Hearings in Brisbane and Tweed Heads
    MEDIA RELEASE 5 July 2005 JOINT STANDING COMMITTEE ON ELECTORAL MATTERS Chair: Tony Smith MP Deputy Chair: Michael Danby MP Inquiry into the conduct of the 2004 federal election Inquiry to probe conduct of federal election campaign An inquiry into the conduct of the 2004 federal election continues this week with public hearings in Brisbane and Tweed Heads on 6 and 7 July. Federal parliament’s Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters has a brief to examine the conduct of the 2004 federal election and any other matters related to Australia’s electoral law. Already the committee, which comprises members of the Government, Opposition and the Australian Democrats, has held hearings in regional Queensland to gather evidence of the major problems with postal voting that occurred in that area. The committee will continue its hearings program throughout July and August, starting in Brisbane (6 July) and Tweed Heads (7 July) before heading to Melbourne (25 July) and Adelaide (26 July), and Perth, Canberra and Sydney in August. In Brisbane, the committee will hear from several people who have made submissions to the inquiry, before heading to Tweed Heads, far north NSW, to examine the election campaign in the electorate of Richmond. Richmond was the fourth-closest election result in the country, with Labor’s Justine Elliot winning the seat from incumbent Larry Anthony (The Nationals) by 301 votes. The committee will explore some of the issues that submissions to its inquiry have raised about the election in Richmond, including party how-to-vote cards and the high rate of provisional voting.

  • Stubbornly Opposed: Influence of Personal Ideology in Politician's
    Stubbornly Opposed: Influence of personal ideology in politician's speeches on Same Sex Marriage Preliminary and incomplete 2020-09-17 Current Version: http://eamonmcginn.com/papers/Same_Sex_Marriage.pdf. By Eamon McGinn∗ There is an emerging consensus in the empirical literature that politicians' personal ideology play an important role in determin- ing their voting behavior (called `partial convergence'). This is in contrast to Downs' theory of political behavior which suggests con- vergence on the position of the median voter. In this paper I extend recent empirical findings on partial convergence by applying a text- as-data approach to analyse politicians' speech behavior. I analyse the debate in parliament following a recent politically charged mo- ment in Australia | a national vote on same sex marriage (SSM). I use a LASSO model to estimate the degree of support or opposi- tion to SSM in parliamentary speeches. I then measure how speech changed following the SSM vote. I find that Opposers of SSM be- came stronger in their opposition once the results of the SSM na- tional survey were released, regardless of how their electorate voted. The average Opposer increased their opposition by 0.15-0.2 on a scale of 0-1. No consistent and statistically significant change is seen in the behavior of Supporters of SSM. This result indicates that personal ideology played a more significant role in determining changes in speech than did the position of the electorate. JEL: C55, D72, D78, J12, H11 Keywords: same sex marriage, marriage equality, voting, political behavior, polarization, text-as-data ∗ McGinn: Univeristy of Technology Sydney, UTS Business School PO Box 123, Broadway, NSW 2007, Australia, [email protected]).

  • Marginal Seat Analysis – 2019 Federal Election
    Australian Landscape Architects Vote 2019 Marginal Seat Analysis – 2019 Federal Election Prepared by Daniel Bennett, Fellow, AILA The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) classifies seats based on the percentage margin won on a ‘two candidate preferred’ basis, which creates a calculation for the swing to change hands. Further, the AEC classify seats based on the following terms: • Marginal (less than 6% swing or 56% of the vote) • Fairly safe (between 6-10% swing or 56-60% of the vote) • Safe (more than 10% swing required and more than 60% of the vote) As an ardent follower of all elections, I offer the following analysis to assist AILA in preparing pre- election materials and perhaps where to focus efforts. As the current Government is a Coalition of the Liberal and National Party, my focus is on the fairly reliable (yet not completely correct) assumption that they have the most to lose and will find it hard to retain the treasury benches. Polls consistently show the Coalition on track to lose from 8 up to 24 seats, which is in plain terms a landslide to the ALP. However polls are just that and have been wrong so many times. So lets focus on what we know. The Marginals. According to the latest analysis by the AEC and the ABC’s Antony Green, the Coalition has 22 marginal seats, there are now 8 cross bench seats, of which 3 are marginal and the ALP have 24 marginal seats. This is a total of 49 marginal seats – a third of all seats! With a new parliament of 151 seats, a new government requires 76 seats to win a majority.

  • Report on the Inquiry Into Aspects of Petitioning Security and Accessibility
    PARLIAMENT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA Report on the inquiry into aspects of petitioning security and accessibility House of Representatives Standing Committee on Petitions © Commonwealth of Australia ISBN 978-1-76092-253-5 (Printed Version) ISBN 978-1-76092-254-2 (HTML Version) This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution- NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Australia License. The details of this licence are available on the Creative Commons website: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/au/. Chair's Foreword The role of petitioning provides Australian citizens and residents with their only direct voice to Parliament. This right to petition, facilitated through the Standing Committee on Petitions (the Committee), saw change in the 45th Parliament through the introduction of the e-petitions system, which has continued into the 46th Parliament alongside the ongoing tradition of paper petitions. With this changing petitions environment comes new challenges to ensure the ability to petition remains accessible while maintaining a secure system in which all Australians may have confidence. With e-petitioning, the most popular method to petition the House of Representatives (the House), the Committee has largely assessed electronic security mechanisms within this report, while drawing out comparisons to paper petitions. The Committee carefully considered how the user experience is affected by electronic security mechanisms, and their impact on the accessibility of the e- petitions system. In the course of its inquiry the Committee received submissions from a number of parliaments which operate their own petitioning systems, which has allowed the Committee to draw out valuable comparative insights on petitions security and accessibility.
