  • Approaching a Centenary of Achievement for Regional Australia

    Approaching a Centenary of Achievement for Regional Australia

    APPROACHING A CENTENARY OF ACHIEVEMENT FOR REGIONAL AUSTRALIA Written and compiled by Paul Davey THE NATIONAL PARTY IS... • The most democratic, non-factionalised and stable political party in Australia, proud of its independent identity and offering equal opportunity to all. • The second oldest political party in Australia, celebrating its Centenary on 22 January 2020. • An organisation that - • through its State affiliates, has the largest membership across regional Australia of any political party • has never been unrepresented in the Commonwealth Parliament, despite predictions since its formation that it would fail • by 2018 had returned 180 members and senators to the Commonwealth Parliament, representing regional interests across Australia • has accumulated an enviable record of achievements on the statute books by working forcefully in Federal Coalition governments • has ensured from the first Federal Coalition agreement that its Parliamentary Leader is the Deputy Prime Minister and acts as Prime Minister when that person is absent • while formed to drive better political outcomes for agricultural industries, has long been more than a ‘farmers’ party’, fighting for better services, facilities, and opportunities for people living and working beyond the capital cities. • The Party’s greatest achievement is its independence. Its very existence has forced other parties to pay greater attention to the needs of regional Australia than would otherwise have been the case. Without an independent National Party, Federal policy development would be dominated by city interests and city-based politicians. • A Country Party brochure, Mileposts, charting achievements to 1950, observed: You“ can’t afford to be without a Country Party … Thank your stars there is a Country Party ” Change Country Party to National Party and the statement remains true today.

To provide an empirical focus for this investigation, four case studies of environmental conflict have been chosen. These are the Great Barrier Reel Fraser Island, the Franklin Dam, and Coronation Hill. In each of these studies an analysis is offered of the involvement of conservation grouPs, business and the state in the conflict. Particular emphasis is placed on the aims of each group of participants, the strategies they pursue and the claims that are made to achieve these objectives. While each of the case studies is treated independently, an account of the historical evolution of the conflict between environmental protection and resource development will be given. For this reason the second chapter of the thesis traces the emergence of these attitudes in Australia with the purpose of providing the context in which the case studies may be located.
  • Australian Environmental Meta-Policy Objectives Since 1970

    Australian Environmental Meta-Policy Objectives Since 1970

    SUMMER SCHOLAR’S PAPER Date: 13 May 2015 What Are We Really Trying to Achieve? Australian Environmental Meta-Policy Objectives since 1970 Author: Peter Burnett Abstract This paper examines the narrative of the highest level of Australian environmental policy (meta- policy) in the period from 1970. It argues that the narrative pivots around the adoption of Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) as the goal of national environmental policy in the early 1990s. Before that time, the meta-policy narrative concerns the protection of special places and the development of an overarching policy goal. Once such a goal was adopted in the form of ESD, the narrative concerns the efforts of governments, not only to interpret ESD but also to avoid it, by adopting a number of ‘pseudo-sustainability formulations’. This was to avoid the difficult trade-offs arising from the ecological constraints inherent in applying ESD. ISSN 2204-1982 This paper was prepared under the Parliamentary Library’s annual Summer Research Scholarship program. The views expressed in this paper are those of the Summer Scholar author, and do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of the Parliamentary Library. 1 Introduction The question that prompted this paper is: ‘why after more than 40 years of policy effort, does the condition of the Australian environment appear to have declined rather than improved?’ Of course, many individual policies and programs have been successful. Urban air quality is a good example. National standards have been set and urban air quality has improved, despite increased population and increased economic activity.1 Yet the overall picture includes a number of issues of significant concern.

School: Faculty: Theatre & Film Studies Arts & Social Sciences Title: Mr Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Structural Reorganisation of the Australian Film Industry in the 1980s Under Division IOBA Tax Incentives is an examination of the fundamental effects and legacies produced by indirect Government subsidy on the Australian feature film industry. The circumstances surrounding the I OBA policy' s origins are outlined to locate the motivation behind the creation of an indirect form of Government assistance to the Australian film industry. The actual legislation and changes in the broader policy are then chartered in detail throughout the years I 980/ 198 I to 1987/ 1988 in an effort to fully document and interrogate the impact I OBA had on the Australian film industry and the infrastructure of industry assistance. The actual film industry is addressed by examining the financial implications of I OBA on the production sector and the way the distribution and exhibition sectors received the IOBA films. IOBA ' s cultural policy implications are then discussed through its relationship to the Australian Film Commission and broader film policy rhetorics. By framing the discussion through the central thesis of structural reorganisation of the industry, the aim is to reveal how the IOBA tax incentives penetrated almost every facet of the industry and its systems of support. In conjunction with the entrance of new institutions into the arena of film production under I OBA, like the commercial financial sector and its regulators, the structural reorganisation of the industry is argued to have redefined the industry.
  • Groom By-Election 27 November 2020

    Groom By-Election 27 November 2020

    Barton Deakin Brief: Groom By-Election 27 November 2020 Overview The Groom by election will be held on Saturday, 28 November. The seat was vacated by retiring member the Hon. Dr John McVeigh, who held the seat from 2016. The Liberal-National Party holds the seat by a margin of 20.5 per cent. Electorate Background The Division of Groom was created in 1984, but it was largely a recreation of the Division of Darling Downs which had existed since Federation. The electorate covers 5,586 km2 and includes the rural areas west of Brisbane with Toowoomba at its centre. Since its creation as the Division of Darling Downs at Federation, the seat has never been won by the Labor Party. In its current iteration, it was first won by Tom McVeigh for the Nationals in 1984, followed by Bill Taylor for the Liberal Party from 1988 and Ian Macfarlane for the Liberal- Nationals from 1998. John McVeigh won the seat for the Liberal-Nationals in 2016, before retiring on 18 September 2020. Candidates There are four candidates in the by-election. Garth Hamilton – Liberal National Party of Queensland Mr Hamilton studied engineering at the University of Queensland before working on several major projects around the world including major water infrastructure; rail and sporting facilities in Saudi Arabia; Tube stations and an airport terminal in London; and mining projects in Western Australia. Mr Hamilton has written op-eds that oppose the Queensland State Labor Government’s handling of the Coronavirus pandemic and has commented on the Australia-China and US relationships.
