You Can't Be What You Can't See— Women
Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory 49th Presiding Officers and Clerks Conference Wellington, New Zealand 8-13 July 2018 You can’t be what you can’t see— Women in the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory Paper to be presented by Joy Burch, MLA, Speaker of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory Page 1 of 10 ‘Any way you look at it there are many, many women who are capable of that job of leadership and making an impact at every level of government and I think we should see more”1 “Women in politics do make a difference and they can change people’s perceptions of politics – they also change the structural discrimination of old-style political systems and parliamentary conventions”2 1 Rosemary Follett, ‘Rosemary Follett and Kate Carnell reunited to sight sexism in politics’ Canberra Times 7th March 2015. 2 Katy Gallagher, ACT Chief Minister, katygallagher.net/blog blog post, 1st October 2014. Page 2 of 10 Introduction Women have played an important and prominent role in the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory since its establishment in 1989. The ACT was the first state or territory to have a woman as its Head of Government. In the Second Assembly, the positions of Speaker, Chief Minister and Leader of the Opposition were all held by women. Perhaps most significantly, at the Territory election for the Ninth Assembly in 2016, thirteen women were elected to the Assembly. It was the first time in Australian history that a majority of women had been elected to a parliament and one of the first jurisdictions in the world to have done so.3 It was also notable that the voters of the ACT returned this result even though only 36 percent of the total 140 candidates that stood for election were women.

Government Pays up for Nightmare Street of Asbestos Homes in Kambah
NATIONAL ACT Government pays up for nightmare street of asbestos homes in Kambah By Matthew Raggatt Updated 5 September 2015 — 10:01pm, ﬁrst published at 10:00pm TODAY'S TOP STORIES EASTMAN TRIAL Eastman retrial a waste of time and money: Bar Association 1 hour ago WORLD POLITICS Trump thanks himself on Thanksgiving 1 hour ago STEPHEN HARPER Beware the changing political winds in Australia PUBLIC SERVICE Decentralisation push: More public service jobs to leave Canberra Residents of Kambah homes made almost entirely from asbestos have agreed to sell to the ACT government and will be out of the toxic properties before Christmas. The decision to pay out owners and demolish the six homes on the same street comes after the media revealed the frightening situation of the residents, who were unknowingly placed at risk by the most mundane of home maintenance or renovations. Jay Kelly purchased his house in Kambah without being informed it was entirely made of asbestos. JAMILA TODERAS Built by the National Capital Development Commission as experimental modular houses in the early 1970s and initially used for public housing, the ACT authorities had refused to help the owners before Katy Gallagher committed to take action in October last year. Jay Kelly, 32, left his home of nine years before the June 30 offer deadline revealed by the Land Development Agency this week, saying despite some relief he was unhappy with the $406,000 payment and would likely not buy again in Canberra. Jay Kelly, pictured inside his former home last year. JAMILA TODERAS "Tell me where I can ﬁnd a 700-square-metre, three-bedroom block in Canberra for $406,000?" he said.

Whitlam's Children? Labor and the Greens in Australia (2007-2013
Whitlam’s Children? Labor and the Greens in Australia (2007-2013) Shaun Crowe A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the Australian National University March 2017 © Shaun Crowe, 2017 1 The work presented in this dissertation is original, to the best of my knowledge and belief, except as acknowledged in the text. The material has not been submitted, in whole or in part, for a degree at The Australian National University or any other university. This research is supported by an Australian Government Research Training Program (RTP) Scholarship. 2 Acknowledgments Before starting, I was told that completing a doctoral thesis was rewarding and brutal. Having now written one, these both seem equally true. Like all PhD students, I never would have reached this point without the presence, affirmation and help of the people around me. The first thanks go to Professor John Uhr. Four and half years on, I’m so lucky to have stumbled into your mentorship. With such a busy job, I don’t know how you find the space to be so generous, both intellectually and with your time. Your prompt, at times cryptic, though always insightful feedback helped at every stage of the process. Even more useful were the long and digressive conversations in your office, covering the world between politics and philosophy. I hope they continue. The second round of thanks go to the people who aided me at different points. Thanks to Guy Ragen, Dr Jen Rayner and Alice Workman for helping me source interviews. Thanks to Emily Millane, Will Atkinson, Dr Lizzy Watt, and Paul Karp for editing chapters.

Treasurer Press Release
THE HON JOSH FRYDENBERG MP THE HON ANDREW BARR Treasurer Chief Minister SENATOR THE HON ZED SESELJA Senator for the Australian Capital Territory JOINT MEDIA RELEASE 17 August 2021 EXTENDED SUPPORT FOR ACT BUSINESSES IMPACTED BY COVID-19 The Commonwealth and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Governments are working together to extend the COVID-19 Business Support Grants in line with the extension of the ACT lockdown to 2 September. The ACT COVID-19 Business Support Grants will deliver support of up to $10,000 for employing businesses and $4,000 for non-employing businesses over the three week lockdown period where those businesses' turnover has declined by 30 per cent or more as a result of the COVID-19 health restrictions. Businesses must be registered in the ACT and able to demonstrate their primary operation in the ACT, have an annual turnover of more than $75,000, be registered for GST and have a total payroll of less than $10 million. They will also need to provide evidence of a 30 per cent reduction in their turnover. The package will be split on a 50/50 basis between the Commonwealth and the ACT Governments, with the Territory government to administer the program. This is a similar arrangement that has been in place for businesses in other jurisdictions impacted by COVID-19 lockdowns. With news of this extension, the detailed guidelines and the application process are now being finalised and will be made available as soon as possible. Businesses can register their interest for the grants and the Covid-19 Business Hardship Scheme on the Business Hub website.

2016 ACT Election Capad Candidate Statements: Analysis at a Glance
2016 ACT Election CAPaD Candidate Statements: analysis at a glance In 2016 CAPaD invited the candidates for the ACT election to introduce themselves to the electorate and to say why they felt they were suitable for the job of representing us in the Legislative Assembly. We hope you find this summary of the responses by those who were elected, about their perceived relationship with voters, informative. Conclusion In brief our MLAs understandably take a very traditional view of their representative relationship with voters. They are very much about being available for one-on-one interactions out and about on the hustings and by standard correspondence or email. There was some interest in social media but little interest in traditional media. Structured opportunities to meet constituents were also favoured. MLA initiated methods scored low. Interest in promoting or engaging through deliberative and participatory methods was mentioned by six of the MLAs. More detail follows. Response rates Overall: 62 of the 141 (44%) candidates submitted statements By success in being elected 14/25 (56%) of successful and 48/116 (41%) of the unsuccessful candidates By being elected by Party affiliation ALP: 25 candidates, 13 (52%) submitted statements; 7 (28% of all candidates and 54% of those who submitted statements) elected Liberal Party, 25 candidates, 10 (48%) submitted statements; 5 (20% of all candidates and 50% of those who submitted statements) elected The Greens, 15 candidates 13 (67%) submitted statements; of those 2 (13% of all candidates and
