  • 2015 Queensland State Election: an Overview
    RESEARCH PAPER SERIES, 2015–16 17 SEPTEMBER 2015 2015 Queensland state election: an overview Dr Joy McCann and Simon Speldewinde Politics and Public Administration Section Executive summary • This paper provides an overview of the issues and outcomes for the January 2015 election for the Queensland Legislative Assembly. Where appropriate, it draws on the Library’s earlier publication on the 2012 Queensland state election.1 • The 2015 Queensland state election result surprised many observers with the dramatic shift in the fortunes of the two major parties. The Australian Labor Party (ALP), having lost government at the 2012 election and retaining just seven seats, emerged with 44 of the 89 seats with a swing of 10.8 per cent. The Liberal National Party (LNP), which had won a record majority of 78 of the 89 seats at the 2012 state election, experienced a swing of 8.3 per cent against it with its seats reduced to 42. Of the remaining seats, two were won by Katter’s Australian Party and one by Independent Peter Wellington. • The election outcome was initially unclear when it was revealed that a Palmer United Party candidate was ineligible as a result of being an undischarged bankrupt. Electoral Commission Queensland (ECQ) indicated that it would refer the Ferny Grove election result to the Court of Disputed Returns but subsequently decided not to proceed based on legal advice, paving the way for the ALP to form minority government with the support of an Independent. • Several key issues emerged during the election campaign including political financing, privatisation and asset sales, the impact of mining on the Great Barrier Reef and anti-association laws.

Publication Date 2007 DOI 10.5070/P8251022196 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California EMPLOYEE SHARE OWNERSHIP IN AUSTRALIA: THEORY, EVIDENCE, CURRENT PRACTICE AND REGULATION Ingrid Landau,* Richard Mitchell,** Ann O'Connellt and Ian Ramsay# ABSTRACT Since at least the 1970s, employee share ownership has en- joyed bipartisan support in Australia. Despite broad and sus- tained public policy interest in employee share ownership, Australian literature on the subject remains scarce. There has also been very little in the way of comprehensive analysis of the regulatory framework. This paperprovides an overview of em- ployee share ownership from an Australian perspective. It be- gins by reviewing the literature on broad-based employee share ownership before turning to examine available data on Austra- lian practice. It then considers how employee share ownership plans are currently providedfor in public policy and law. Com- panies in Australia proposing to offer securities to employees must comply with a myriad of regulatory requirements. This paper examines these requirements. It also examines features of the current regulatory framework which have been identified as problematic. CONTENTS 1. INTRODUCTION ................................ 27 2. A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE ............ 28 2.1 Scope and methodology ...................... 30 2.2 Rationales for employee share ownership .... 30 2.3 The costs of employee share ownership ...... 36 * Research Fellow, Employee Share Ownership Project, Law School, The University of Melbourne.

  • Employee Share Ownership: a Review of the Literature
    Research Report EMPLOYEE SHARE OWNERSHIP: A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE Ingrid Landau, Richard Mitchell, Ann O’Connell and Ian Ramsay March 2007 Employee Share Ownership Project The Employee Share Ownership Project is a joint initiative of the Centre for Corporate Law and Securities Regulation, the Centre for Employment and Labour Relations Law and The Tax Group. It is funded by an Australian Research Council Discovery Project Grant. The project subjects the existing regulatory regime for employee share ownership plans in Australia – in tax, corporate and labour law – to technical and empirical scrutiny. It analyses how current legal regulation structures and constrains the use of ESOPs in Australian enterprises. It examines the current incidence and forms of ESOPs in Australia, the diversity of objectives that such schemes serve, the extent to which current corporate, tax and labour law inhibit ESOPs, and the case for reform of the regulatory framework.

  • Salary Packaging Guidelines
    SALARY PACKAGING GUIDELINES COVERAGE These guidelines apply to all permanent Australian based Ramsay Health Care (Ramsay) employees and are available immediately upon commencement. Long term, regular casual employees who have a reasonable expectation of continuing employment are able to salary sacrifice into their superannuation fund in line with these guidelines. Where the provisions of an Award or Agreement vary from this document, those provisions shall apply. POLICY STATEMENT Ramsay is committed to providing flexible remuneration structuring to its employees which includes salary packaging. Salary packaging legitimately allows employees to structure their remuneration to include, as part of their salary package, specified benefits in lieu of cash. Ramsay will allow employees to prospectively salary package up to a maximum of 50% of their base salary. An employee wishing to package more than this should seek approval via the relevant CEO/Executive Manager. Salary packaging will only be approved if the arrangement is consistent with all provisions and conditions set out in these guidelines and relevant Australian Taxation Law. OUTCOME STATEMENT These guidelines establish the processes to be followed by Ramsay managers, payroll processing staff and employees to establish a salary packaging arrangement. These guidelines identify the process to be used for requesting, approving, processing and documenting a salary sacrifice arrangement for an employee. These guidelines aim to ensure that: Employees understand what “salary packaging” or

  • The Rise of the Australian Greens
    Parliament of Australia Department of Parliamentary Services Parliamentary Library Information, analysis and advice for the Parliament RESEARCH PAPER www.aph.gov.au/library 22 September 2008, no. 8, 2008–09, ISSN 1834-9854 The rise of the Australian Greens Scott Bennett Politics and Public Administration Section Executive summary The first Australian candidates to contest an election on a clearly-espoused environmental policy were members of the United Tasmania Group in the 1972 Tasmanian election. Concerns for the environment saw the emergence in the 1980s of a number of environmental groups, some contested elections, with successes in Western Australia and Tasmania. An important development was the emergence in the next decade of the Australian Greens as a unified political force, with Franklin Dam activist and Tasmanian MP, Bob Brown, as its nationally-recognised leader. The 2004 and 2007 Commonwealth elections have resulted in five Australian Green Senators in the 42nd Parliament, the best return to date. This paper discusses the electoral support that Australian Greens candidates have developed, including: • the emergence of environmental politics is placed in its historical context • the rise of voter support for environmental candidates • an analysis of Australian Greens voters—who they are, where they live and the motivations they have for casting their votes for this party • an analysis of the difficulties such a party has in winning lower house seats in Australia, which is especially related to the use of Preferential Voting for most elections • the strategic problems that the Australian Greens—and any ‘third force’—have in the Australian political setting • the decline of the Australian Democrats that has aided the Australian Greens upsurge and • the question whether the Australian Greens will ever be more than an important ‘third force’ in Australian politics.
