  • SM Bruce: the Businessman As Treasurer
    SM Bruce: the businessman as Treasurer John Hawkins1 Stanley Melbourne Bruce, a wealthy businessman with an aristocratic air, served as Treasurer in 1922, bringing down one budget, during his meteoric rise to the prime ministership. He stressed the need to bring ‘businesslike’ practices into government and promote development under his slogan ‘men, money and markets’. A number of commissions and inquiries were set up to inform policymaking, and Bruce looked favourably on establishing independent boards to manage some government operations. Bruce established a sinking fund to retire the debt accumulated during the First World War. He also tried to rationalise industrial relations arrangements. Source: National Library of Australia. 1 The first draft of this article was prepared when the author was in the Domestic Economy Division, the Australian Treasury. He thanks Anthony Goldbloom for assistance in tracking down references from The Economist, and for helpful comments. The views in this article are those of the author and not necessarily those of the Australian Treasury. 71 SM Bruce: the businessman as Treasurer Introduction Stanley Melbourne Bruce PC CH MC, later Viscount Bruce of Melbourne, preferred to be known as ’SM’ than ’Stanley’. (He was never called ’Stan’.) His wealth and interests set him apart from the average Australian.2 Even at the time, he seemed like he had stepped out of a Wodehouse novel. He was the only Prime Minister to come to the job already with a valet, a butler and a chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce. His sports were riding, rowing, golf and royal tennis. He was always immaculately attired, and had impeccable manners and what some regarded as matinee idol looks.

  • 1 21/10/2016 “We Will End up Being a Third Rate Economy …A Banana Republic”: How Behavioural Economics Can Improve Macroec
    1 Australian Economic Review Forthcoming 21/10/2016 “We will end up being a third rate economy …a banana republic”: How behavioural economics can improve macroeconomic outcomes Ian M McDonald University of Melbourne Abstract To address the economic problems facing Australia in 1986 required wage restraint which required in turn overcoming loss aversion by workers with respect to their wages. The Prices and Incomes Accord was able to do this. Attempts to address Australia’s current economic problems are stymied by tax resistance. Addressing tax resistance requires overcoming loss aversion by voters with respect to their post-tax incomes. The success of the Accord suggests that Accord-type policies could reduce tax resistance by broadening people’s perspective beyond their post-tax incomes to the broader spread of benefits for them and others. Short abstract The Prices and Incomes Accord overcame loss aversion and delivered wage restraint. Can Accord-like policies overcome loss aversion and deliver the increases in taxation that will address Australia’s current economic challenges? 2 “We will end up being a third rate economy …a banana republic”: How behavioural economics can improve macroeconomic outcomes 1 Ian M McDonald University of Melbourne 30 years ago, faced with a large fall in the terms of trade occurring in a situation of high unemployment, high inflation, a high government budget deficit and a high current account deficit, Paul Keating, the Treasurer of Australia, warned the public that Australia faced the prospect of becoming a banana republic.2 Keating's iconic statement arose in the context of an elaborate economic program, called The Prices and Incomes Accord, aimed at improving Australia's economic performance.

  • 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).

  • Tasmania: Majority Or Minority Government? *
    AUSTRALASIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW Tasmania: Majority or Minority Government? * Michael Lester and Dain Bolwell PhD Candidate, Institute for the Study of Social Change, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Tasmania Associate, Institute for the Study of Social Change, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Tasmania * Double-blind reviewed article. INTRODUCTION While the outcome of the March 2018 Tasmanian State Election was predictable,1 the controversies that dogged the campaign were not. Yet it was the aftermath of the election that was most astonishing—not only to the public but also to members of Cabinet. Tasmania is different. Its parliamentary institutions are unusual and its electoral system is distinctive. So were the issues on which the March 2018 state election was fought. In the lead up to the election both major parties campaigned to govern alone or not at all—neither in minority nor in coalition with the Greens. As well as this apparently overarching concern, there were three other major issues prominent during the campaign—an acute housing shortage, the thousands of poker machines in pubs and clubs, and the surprise matter of gun control. Health, education, law and order, the economy and who would best manage the budget were, as usual, also policy battle grounds; however, the minority government fear campaign, a television blitz on the benefits of poker machines and considerable 1 N.
