It was also my intention to introduce them to a philanthropist who could assist them personally and financially. The second purpose of this trip was to meet with representatives of Stateside Constructions and discuss their strategy for affordable housing. I received support from the Community Development and Justice Committee, on which I serve, to gather more information that could serve our current inquiry into affordable social housing. COST OF TRIP The cost to the Department of Premier and Cabinet amounted to $3037. This amount is made up of airfare and three nights' accommodation. ITINERARY FRIDAY 8TH APRIL I attended an appointment with representatives of Stateside Constructions and discussed all matters pertaining to affordable homes and their suitability for other States in Australia, apart from Tasmania. I saw several exhibition homes and a couple of homes that were actually constructed for suburbia, rather than the usual holiday recreational properties. SATURDAY 9TH APRIL I spent most of the day with the National Representative of the Karen people, Mr Paul Kway. Discussions were held to find possible outcomes in assisting the Karen community, particulary in Hobart, to intergrate into the community and to have a representative who could speak English on their behalf. The desire to have an English speaking Karen person within the community was the main source of concern. I spoke at a public evening meeting at the Hobart Baptist Church dealing with Karen issues in Tasmania. Mr Paul Kway presented a powerpoint history and purpose of the Karen people in Burma and here in Australia and then time was set aside for questions. SUNDAY 10 THAPRIL I was the guest speaker at the Karen church service held in the Hobart Baptist Church.

I travelled to Sydney on the evening of Sunday 17 April and return to Perth on the evening of Wednesday 20 April 2011. I stayed in the hotel for the nights of Sunday 17, Monday 18 and Tuesday 19th. The purpose of my trip was twofold, firstly, to confer with a senior Barrister in Sydney concerning the limits of Parliamentary Privilege. A further purpose of the trip was to meet with the Shadow Attorney General for New South Wales, Mr Paul Lynch, the Member for Liverpool. I discussed the general approaches to the Shadow portfolio of Attorney General, and in particular, the hollowness of entering law and order auctions in front of the community but rather concentrate on deficiencies in the judicial system and the law as it effects social justice. Mr Lynch is also a legal practitioner. On the afternoon of Wednesday 20 April 2011 I attended at the office of the Federal Attorney General, the Honourable Robert McClelland, where I discussed with his senior advisers, amongst other things, a national structure for the legal profession. After giving due consideration to the arguments in favour of a national structure for the legal professional I remain wholly supportive of the position taken in Western Australia, by the WA Bar Association, the Law Society of WA and the Attorney General, that Western Australia should have an independent profession in Western Australia, which has at its pinnacle, the Chief Justice of Western Australia and the Justices of the Supreme Court of Western Australia and retain our own admissions to legal practice in Western Australia and disciplinary structures for the legal profession in Western Australia.

    Managing Gender: the 2010 Federal Election

    21. Managing Gender: The 2010 federal election Marian Sawer1 The 2010 federal election was the first in Australian history in which a woman prime minister was campaigning for the re-election of her government. Paradoxically, her party had no women’s policy—or at least did not launch one publicly. Despite the avoidance of any policy focus on gender issues, gender was a significant undercurrent in the election, as reflected in consistent gender gaps in public opinion and voting intentions. Unusually, the management of gender turned out to be more of a problem for a male than for a female leader. Gender Gaps and Gendered Coverage Gender was expected to feature prominently in the 2010 campaign given the contest between Julia Gillard as Australia’s first woman prime minister and Tony Abbott, a hyper-masculine Opposition leader and ironman triathlete. Abbott’s persona was that of an ‘action man’ always ready to don lycra and a helmet for some strenuous sporting activity; the Coalition campaign slogan was ‘Real action’. Abbott was also known for telling women how to live their lives, criticising them for taking ‘the easy way out’ by having abortions and blocking the importation of abortion drug RU486 while he was Health Minister. While the Abbott action-man persona might have been useful in a contest with Kevin Rudd, who was to be framed as ‘all talk and no action’, it was less useful in a contest with Julia Gillard. It required various forms of softening, particularly through referencing of the women in his life, but also through less-aggressive presentation and promises not to tinker with access to abortion.

    Sexiest politicians get vote | Herald Sun Page 1 of 2 Sexiest politicians get vote Ben Packham December 08, 2006 12:00am Article from: OUR best-looking politician is not even in Parliament ¿ and John Howard can thank his lucky stars for that. Nicole Campbell, who stood against the Prime Minister, was rated the most attractive candidate at the 2004 election. The Australian National University rated politicians using how-to-vote cards. It wasn't good news for Mr Howard – or Labor leader Kevin Rudd. Proving looks aren't everything, the PM came in 279 out of 286. Mr Rudd did marginally better at 244. But Julie Bishop can take a bow. She has the beauty to match her brainy portfolio. The Education Minister was the most attractive sitting female MP, at fifth overall. Victoria's best looker was newly crowned deputy Labor leader Julia Gillard at No. 12. Rising Liberal star Malcolm Turnbull ran a dapper 18th. Leadership rival Peter Costello (169) has plenty of ground to make up. He wouldn't even beat Kim Beazley (152) in a beauty contest. Health Minister Tony Abbott was rated not too shabby at 96 and Workplace Relations Minister Kevin Andrews was a respectable 114. Labor childcare spokeswoman Tanya Plibersek was looking good at 21, while Victoria's best- looking bloke was Flinders Lib MP Greg Hunt (55). Other highly rated Victorians included Labor member for Ballarat Catherine King (24), and member for Indi Sophie Mirabella (29). ANU's Andrew Leigh, who conducted the study, did not reveal who ran last because it would be unfair.

    Assisted dying survey 2014 Consultation document Why is the RCP consulting on this issue? In 2006, following the introduction into the House of Lords of Lord Joffe's Assisted Dying for the Terminally Ill Bill, the RCP asked our fellows and members for their views on whether or not the law should be changed. Another, similar, private member's bill, in the name of Lord Falconer of Thoroton, is now before the House of Lords. Given this context, RCP Council believes that it should again provide fellows and members with the opportunity to review how RCP positions itself in this debate. While recognising that this is a contentious and difficult issue for many people, the decision was taken at RCP’s Council on 15 July 2014 to consider this issue. A special meeting of RCP Council took place on 30 July and decided to formally consult on this issue. In order to present a united view of the medical profession, this consultation document has been informed by the document used in 2013 by the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) to consult with its members and fellows. We are grateful to the RCGP for allowing us to update and share their consultation document. Definitions While the term 'assisted dying' has no real meaning in law, we have chosen to interpret it as the supply by a doctor of a lethal dose of drugs to a patient who is terminally ill, who meets certain criteria and who requests those drugs in order that they might be used by the person concerned to end his or her life.

    The Vultures Will Be Hovering Again Soon Enough, As Bill Shorten Begins to Stumble Date September 21, 2015 - 5:58AM

    The vultures will be hovering again soon enough, as Bill Shorten begins to stumble Date September 21, 2015 - 5:58AM Paul Sheehan Sydney Morning Herald columnist Disability deserves its own ministry: Shorten Opposition leader Bill Shorten says he is disappointed Malcolm Turnbull's new ministry does not feature a minister for disability. Courtesy ABC News 24. It is only natural that the vultures will grow hungry again soon. They have become accustomed to kings becoming carrion. In the past 20 years Paul Keating, Kim Beazley, Simon Crean, Mark Latham, Beazley again, John Howard, Brendan Nelson, Malcolm Turnbull, Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard, Rudd again, and now Tony Abbott have all been felled, a procession of change, on average, every 20 months, for 20 years. It shows no sign of slowing. In this context, the Canning by-election could have been called the Cunning by- election. It gave a clear, vindicating victory for Malcolm Turnbull's brazen, lightning coup. So now the vultures will soon be hovering over the obvious loser, Bill Shorten, who made a serious blunder last week that puts him on carrion watch. Having hovered over Abbott for months, the vultures will be riding the political thermals and circling in the sky, watching for Shorten to falter. He just became much more vulnerable. He has never been popular in the opinion polls. He has rarely been impressive in parliament. He was especially unimpressive in the three sitting days leading up to the Canning by-election. On Tuesday, in his first question to the new Prime Minister, Shorten finished

    A Journal of Culture, Theory, Politics, Available Online at 90/Euthanasia-Levinas It Is Not the Copy of Record

    This is an accepted manuscript of an article published by Lawrence and Wishart in New Formations: A Journal of Culture, Theory, Politics, available online at http://www.lwbooks.co.uk/new-formations/89- 90/euthanasia-levinas It is not the copy of record. Copyright © 2017, Lawrence and Wishart. The Face of the Good Death: Euthanasia and Levinas Timothy Secret Abstract At various strata of the debate, the sense that arguments surrounding euthanasia are no longer making significant advances has provoked a variety of attempts to find alternative ethical approaches that might break with standard deadlocks. In this essay, we will trail one such move by giving a new account of what the ethical stance of Emmanuel Levinas might contribute towards the twin questions of the ethical justification and legalisation of euthanasia. Interpreting our fundamental relationship with the other in terms of the Biblical injunction ‘Thou shalt not kill’ and refusing to draw any distinction between murder and other forms of killing, Levinas is commonly taken to have offered an ethical stance that is strongly opposed to euthanasia. Without disagreeing with this interpretation, we will offer an account of a further twist on this perspective that renders euthanasia ambiguously the exemplary ethical failure and the supreme culmination of ethics, simultaneously separating this ethical question entirely from legality. Keywords Euthanasia, Levinas, Death, Sacrifice, Ethics SOMETHING IS AMISS The philosopher and medical ethicist Margaret P. Battin has published, adopting
  • Collective Rights Vs Individual Rights? Examining the “Right to Die.”

    Collective Rights Vs Individual Rights? Examining the “Right to Die.”

    William L. Saunders Collective Rights vs Individual Rights? Examining the “Right to Die.” Introduction Properly understood, there is no conflict between “collective rights” and “individual rights.” Part of the reason a conflict is assumed to exist is that a sound understanding of what constitutes a “right” has been lost. This is because often, and falsely, mere “wishes” are conflated with “rights.” Harvard Professor Mary Ann Glendon helpfully analyzed this in her book Rights Talk.1 True “collective rights” and true “individual rights” buttress each other and are better understood as aspects of “human rights.” Since human persons live in community, an aspect of human rights concerns communities (or societies or cultures) in which human beings live. However, those communities are not obligated to indulge every individual’s whim or purported “right.” Wishes and desires, even if deeply felt, do not constitute “rights.” Rather, rights properly understood are reflections of what is good for the human person. Society has an obligation to respect and promote the good of the human person, not an individual’s subjective desires. Recognizing and respecting legitimate individual human rights promotes the common good, and vice versa. Thus, a proper understanding of human rights reconciles alleged conflicts between “collective” and “individual” rights. However, false “rights” threaten the good of both the in- dividual and society. A purported new “right,” the “right to die,” illustrates these points. The first section of this paper will define what is meant by the “right to die.” The second section will show there is no foun- dation in the law for a “right to die.” The third section will explain why creating a new “right to die” is detrimental to society, particularly the medical profession, the elderly, the depressed, and the disabled.
