    Pandering to the Government Surveys have shown that voters trust non-government organisations much more than they trust politicians and businesses.

  • Lady Thatcher Celebrated Her 80Th Birthday Last
    LADY THATCHER CELEBRATED HER 80TH BIRTHDAY LAST NIGHT WITH 650 GUESTS Andrew Pierce reports The Times Friday, October 14, 2005 BARONESS THATCHER had the perfect excuse to be a little late last night for her 80th birthday party in the presence of the Queen, Tony Blair and some unlikely names from the show-business world. She was delayed by an unexpected telephone call from President Bush wishing her a happy birthday. The ten- minute call from the White House was the latest in a series of tributes that poured in from around the world. It marked yet another highlight in the life of a woman who still casts a huge shadow over the Conservative Party. The red carpet was rolled out for Lady Thatcher, who was dressed in a navy blue cocktail coat and silk chiffon dress designed by Camilla Milton. Lady Thatcher, who looked frail, made no public comment as a crowd of wellwishers lined the streets to catch a glimpse of Britain's first woman Prime Minister. The 650-strong guest list was a roll call of honour from the 1980s Thatcher heyday. Michael Portillo, who was once seen as her anointed heir, made a surprise appearance. He said: "She was influential in her day but not now." But the former Prime Minister also sprinkled the list with some surprise names from both sides of the political divide. The Queen, in a shimmering silver dress, the Duke of Edinburgh, and the Prime Minister were the principal guests at the drinks party in the gold-embossed ballroom of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Hyde Park, in Knightsbridge.

  • Monthly Update October 2013
    NSWIC Monthly Update NEW SOUTH WALES IRRIGATORS’ COUNCIL October 2013 Thank you for agreeing to receive our monthly update. We appreciate you taking the time to keep abreast of what NSWIC is doing to represent Water Access License holders in NSW. This electronic bulletin is a collation of our weekly updates which are sent to our Member organisations. If you would like more details about your local Member of NSWIC, please don't hesitate to contact us. Basin Plan Related Recommitting to Buyback Cap A win! Or, at very least a reaffirmation of a previous win. You'll recall that then Opposition Leader and now Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, wrote to NSWIC last year committing to cap buybacks at 1,500 gigalitres. We distributed that letter far and wide to make certain it couldn't be walked away from. Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for the Environment (the bloke in charge of water), Senator Simon Birmingham, gave his first interview in the role to Lauren Wilson from The Australian. In the article, published on Thursday (10 Oct) and available here, he again committed to the buyback cap. This time, of course, the commitment is from the Government - and hence has practical implications. We issued a media release (here) calling it a "great result". Well done to all who were involved in securing this commitment in the first instance. It's always good to see a real, material outcome after such a prolonged engagement. Constraints Management Strategy The Murray-Darling Basin Authority released its draft Constraints Management Strategy (available here). It doesn't provide solutions (and probably wasn't designed to) but rather identifies both physical and rules-based constraints that need to be "further investigated".

  • Dulwich Hill
    Sydney Journal 2(2) June 2010 ISSN 1835-0151 http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/ojs/index.php/sydney_journal/index Dulwich Hill Chrys Meader Dulwich Hill, a suburb of the Marrickville local government area, is located seven kilometres south-west of Sydney. The traditional owners of the land were Cadigal of the Eora nation. The suburb is located on both sides of a ridge, and consists of a number of low hills, which were once heavily timbered. The lower land slopes towards Cooks River and was covered in dense ti-tree scrub. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Dulwich Hill developed as a desirable residential district with a small village shopping centre and isolated but significant pockets of industry. It is a suburb shaped by twentieth-century subdivisions. Dulwich Hill has retained a village atmosphere, even with the late twentieth and early twenty-first century developments where former factory sites have been redeveloped for large apartment complexes. These complexes are themselves small villages within the suburb of Dulwich Hill. Early European settlement Dulwich Hill was part of the land grant to Thomas Moore, who was the colony’s shipbuilder. In 1799 Moore received a large grant of 700 acres (283.3 hectares). He called it Douglas Farm. It took in the present suburbs of Marrickville and Petersham and parts of Dulwich Hill and Stanmore. It was the highly prized stands of timber on the estate that most interested Moore and a later owner, Dr Robert Wardell. Present-day Dulwich Hill also contained a number of smaller land grants, mainly to emancipated convicts.

Presiding Officers' Foreword Established in 1971, the Australian Parliamentary Fellowship has provided an opportunity for an academic analysis of many aspects of Parliament and the work of Parliamentarians. The work of Dr Marion Maddox, the 1999 Fellow, has been the first to assess and set in context the religious influences felt by current and past Senators and Members as they pursue their parliamentary duties. With two doctorates (in theology and political philosophy) Dr Maddox brought both fields together in her Fellowship project. In for For God and Country: Religious Dynamics in Australian Federal Politics Dr Maddox explores religious influences and debate in and around the Thirty-Eighth and Thirty-Ninth Parliaments.

Australia-United States Free Trade Agreement: Call for Submissions by 15 January 2003 The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade's Office of Trade Negotiations has called for public submissions on the proposed Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between Australia and the United States. The proposed FTA has met with widespread criticism from community groups, including AFTINET, because of the unequal bargaining situation for Australia, in economic terms we are a mouse bargaining with an elephant. The US has targeted important Australian social policies as barriers to trade. The US wants abolition of the Foreign Investment Review Board, an end to Australian content rules in film and television, the abolition of the pharmaceutical benefits scheme and reductions in quarantine standards. The National Farmers' Federation has criticised this agenda and said that they are doubtful that any gains would be made in access to US agricultural markets. All the Opposition Parties, including the Australian Labor Party, have also been strongly critical of the proposed agreement.

  • 2002 PENNY MAGEE LECTURE All in the Family: Women, Religion and the Australian Right
    Volume 15, Number 2 13 2002 PENNY MAGEE LECTURE All in the Family: Women, Religion and the Australian Right Marion Maddox Victoria University, Wellington Perverse Politics Camilla Nelson's novel, Perverse Acts (1998), hypothesizes a Republic of Australia, some time in the early twenty-first century. The date is left vague, though there are various pointers: one MP, Lucretia, who, like many of her present­ day counterparts, decorates her office with photos of herself, has snaps of 'a very young Lucretia' meeting the Clintons in Sydney ari.d her adult self visiting 'a dying Germaine Greer'. The passing of time and transition to a republic have apparently left some aspects the parliamentary structure unchanged: with the best will in the world to implement its Freedom From Government Bill and the associated Get Rich Quick tax scheme, Nelson's unnamed neo-liberal party, like so many crusading governments before it, faces obstruction in the Senate. Its only hope is to secure the balance-of-power votes of a minor party called the Circle of Light. Here is how Nelson's cynical female narrator, Venus, describes the Circle: The Circle of Light was a relatively new phenomenon but its antecedents stretched back a generation of two, back to the end of the 1990s. Some say it started with an independent on the crossbench in the Senate, others as a faction within the ruling Party. (Did I say faction? Excuse me, I meant forum.) It all began with prayer breakfasts, a lot more prayer breakfasts and a giant circle of praise. And then, a lot more giant circles of praise and a really fashionable fad: the Christian men's.

  • POLITICS and GOVERNMENT God Under Howard How the Religious
    Bh0946M-PressProofs.QX5 1/12/04 4:02 PM Page i Bookhouse (Simon) ‘God is working for the Liberal Party and this fine, disturbing book arrives just in time to tell us how. Marion Maddox’s world is the political territory that lies neglected beneath the secular radar of this country. God Under Howard breaks the codes and tracks the Bible Belt strategies John Howard has brought from the US to advance his cause. The result is an eye-opening exploration of the real politics of Australia.’ David Marr ‘Marion Maddox rightly says, “We do Australia’s soul no service by forcing religion out of visible public life into unanalysed undercurrents”. She brings us a convincing and disturbing picture of the capacity of John Howard, and some of his friends, to co-opt God for their own political agenda. Perhaps the ultimate irony is that, when mainstream church leaders try to enter the discussion and reclaim the God they represent, Howard in effect tells them to “stop meddling” while at the same time taking advantage of what he sees as their capacity to deliver cheap welfare. This is an academically responsible but very readable book—one which should alert us all to significant dimensions of political cunning.’ Dorothy McRae-McMahon Retired Uniting Church Minister and Co-editor of the South Sydney Herald ‘There is no doubt that your childhood religious instruction underwrites your attitudes and prejudices for much of the rest of your life, but I am staggered at how these values can easily get lost in public life.

It is therefore not surprising that food regulation attracts wide interest in Australia. Indeed many countries throughout the world are currently coming to grips with the complexities of their food regulatory systems. Australia can be justifiably proud of its international reputation for producing safe food. However, we are aware food-borne illnesses are on the increase in a number of countries and there is evidence of resistant strains of bacteria emerging - both are international phenomena. We are also aware of unwarranted costs to business due to inconsistencies and duplication within the regulatory and enforcement framework. At the same time, there is a need for the agrifood industry to become increasingly competitive to be successful exporters to international markets. It is against this background that the governments of Australia agreed to a comprehensive review of food regulation and the Prime Minister announced the Food Regulation Review in March 1997.
