  • Let Her Finish: Gender, Sexism, and Deliberative Participation in Australian Senate Estimates Hearings (2006-2015)
    Let Her Finish: Gender, Sexism, and Deliberative Participation In Australian Senate Estimates Hearings (2006-2015) Joanna Richards School of Government and Policy Faculty of Business, Government and Law University of Canberra ABSTRACT In 2016, Australia ranks 54th in the world for representation of women in Parliament, with women ​ accounting for only 29% of the House of Representatives, and 39% of the Senate. This inevitably ​ inspires discussion about women in parliament, quotas, and leadership styles. Given the wealth of research which suggests that equal representation does not necessarily guarantee equal treatment, this study focuses on Authoritative representation. That is, the space in between winning a seat and making a difference where components of communication and interaction affect the authority of a speaker.This study combines a Discourse Analysis of the official Hansard transcripts from the Senate Estimates Committee hearings, selected over a 10 year period between 2006 and 2015, with a linguistic ethnography of the Australian Senate to complement results with context. Results show that although female senators and witnesses are certainly in the room, they do not have the same capacity as their male counterparts. Both the access and effectiveness of women in the Senate is limited; not only are they given proportionally less time to speak, but interruption, gate keeping tactics, and the designation of questions significantly different in nature to those directed at men all work to limit female participation in the political domain. As witnesses, empirical measures showed that female testimony was often undermined by senators. Results also showed that female senators and witnesses occasionally adopted masculine styles of communication in an attempt to increase effectiveness in the Senate.

Read about her in this issue, as we send our heart felt condolences to family and friends. So Canada leaps ahead and legalises Cannabis, and where do we find ourselves in this backward nation of Australia??? Yes, you guessed it, absolutely nowhere, dare I say baby steps?? And if that’s the case it’s a very small baby with short legs…. If that isn’t bad enough, we now hear South Australia is going in the opposite direction, back to the dark ages, and wanting to quadruple cannabis pocession fines, with long jail sentences. For a “herb” ????? If it wasn’t so seriously ridiculous it would indeed be laughable. Little Green Trailer Tasmania is moving along in leaps and bounds, having been invited to various events. Read about it, and how you can assist in this issue also. The thirst for MC education is phenomenal, and growing, which is keeping us very busy. I have zero interest in politics, however, here in Tasmania the opposition Labor party have shown massive interest in this cause for legalisation.

  • The Comparative Politics of E-Cigarette Regulation in Australia, Canada and New Zealand by Alex C
    Formulating a Regulatory Stance: The Comparative Politics of E-Cigarette Regulation in Australia, Canada and New Zealand by Alex C. Liber A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Health Services Organizations and Policy) in The University of Michigan 2020 Doctoral Committee: Professor Scott Greer, Co-Chair Assistant Professor Holly Jarman, Co-Chair Professor Daniel Béland, McGill University Professor Paula Lantz Alex C. Liber [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0001-7863-3906 © Alex C. Liber 2020 Dedication For Lindsey and Sophia. I love you both to the ends of the earth and am eternally grateful for your tolerance of this project. ii Acknowledgments To my family – Lindsey, you made the greatest sacrifices that allowed this project to come to fruition. You moved away from your family to Michigan. You allowed me to conduct two months of fieldwork when you were pregnant with our daughter. You helped drafts come together and were a constant sounding board and confidant throughout the long process of writing. This would not have been possible without you. Sophia, Poe, and Jo served as motivation for this project and a distraction from it when each was necessary. Mom, Dad, Chad, Max, Julian, and Olivia, as well as Papa Ernie and Grandma Audrey all, helped build the road that I was able to safely walk down in the pursuit of this doctorate. You served as role models, supports, and friends that I could lean on as I grew into my career and adulthood. Lisa, Tony, and Jessica Suarez stepped up to aid Lindsey and me with childcare amid a move, a career transition, and a pandemic.

  • Legislative Assembly
    8142 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Wednesday 4 June 2008 __________ The Speaker (The Hon. George Richard Torbay) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. The Speaker read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE Notices of Motions General Business Notices of Motions (General Notices) given. MISCELLANEOUS ACTS AMENDMENT (SAME SEX RELATIONSHIPS) BILL 2008 Bill received from the Legislative Council and introduced. Agreement in principle set down as an order of the day for a later hour. AUSTRALIAN JOCKEY CLUB BILL 2008 Agreement in Principle Debate resumed from 14 May 2008. Mr GEORGE SOURIS (Upper Hunter) [10.04 a.m.]: I have pleasure in leading for the Opposition in the debate on the Australian Jockey Club Bill 2008. I say at the outset that the Opposition will not oppose the bill—in fact, we will take some pleasure in seeing it ultimately change the face of the Australian Jockey Club. The purpose of the bill is to recognise the incorporation of the Australian Jockey Club and to transfer its assets, rights and liabilities to the newly incorporated Australian Jockey Club Limited. The bill will also enable the trustees of Randwick racecourse to grant a lease of the racecourse lands for up to 99 years. The Australian Jockey Club is currently an unincorporated association. In light of recent financial concerns, the chairman and board members, focusing on their potential personal liability and in line with modern business practice, initiated the process to update the current Australian Jockey Club Act, which dates back to 1873. The trustees of Randwick racecourse are limited to granting a 50-year lease under the current Act.
