  • You Can Download the NSW Caring Fairly Toolkit Here!
    A TOOLKIT: How carers in NSW can advocate for change www.caringfairly.org.au Caring Fairly is represented in NSW by: www.facebook.com/caringfairlycampaign @caringfairly @caringfairly WHO WE ARE Caring Fairly is a national campaign led by unpaid carers and specialist organisations that support and advocate for their rights. Launched in August 2018 and coordinated by Mind Australia, Caring Fairly is led by a coalition of over 25 carer support organisations, NGOs, peak bodies, and carers themselves. In NSW, Caring Fairly is represented by Mental Health Carers NSW, Carers NSW and Flourish Australia. We need your support, and invite you to join the Caring Fairly coalition. Caring Fairly wants: • A fairer deal for Australia’s unpaid carers • Better economic outcomes for people who devote their time to supporting and caring for their loved ones • Government policies that help unpaid carers balance paid work and care, wherever possible • Politicians to understand what’s at stake for unpaid carers going into the 2019 federal election To achieve this, we need your help. WHY WE ARE TAKING ACTION Unpaid carers are often hidden from view in Australian politics. There are almost 2.7 million unpaid carers nationally. Over 850,000 people in Australia are the primary carer to a loved one with disability. Many carers, understandly, don’t identify as a ‘carer’. Caring Fairly wants visibility for Australia’s unpaid carers. We are helping to build a new social movement in Australia to achieve this. Unpaid carers prop up Australian society. Like all Australians, unpaid carers have a right to a fair and decent quality of life.

  • Stubbornly Opposed: Influence of Personal Ideology in Politician's
    Stubbornly Opposed: Influence of personal ideology in politician's speeches on Same Sex Marriage Preliminary and incomplete 2020-09-17 Current Version: http://eamonmcginn.com/papers/Same_Sex_Marriage.pdf. By Eamon McGinn∗ There is an emerging consensus in the empirical literature that politicians' personal ideology play an important role in determin- ing their voting behavior (called `partial convergence'). This is in contrast to Downs' theory of political behavior which suggests con- vergence on the position of the median voter. In this paper I extend recent empirical findings on partial convergence by applying a text- as-data approach to analyse politicians' speech behavior. I analyse the debate in parliament following a recent politically charged mo- ment in Australia | a national vote on same sex marriage (SSM). I use a LASSO model to estimate the degree of support or opposi- tion to SSM in parliamentary speeches. I then measure how speech changed following the SSM vote. I find that Opposers of SSM be- came stronger in their opposition once the results of the SSM na- tional survey were released, regardless of how their electorate voted. The average Opposer increased their opposition by 0.15-0.2 on a scale of 0-1. No consistent and statistically significant change is seen in the behavior of Supporters of SSM. This result indicates that personal ideology played a more significant role in determining changes in speech than did the position of the electorate. JEL: C55, D72, D78, J12, H11 Keywords: same sex marriage, marriage equality, voting, political behavior, polarization, text-as-data ∗ McGinn: Univeristy of Technology Sydney, UTS Business School PO Box 123, Broadway, NSW 2007, Australia, [email protected]).

    The Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia Report on the inquiry into the Australian film and television industry House of Representatives Standing Committee on Communications and the Arts December 2017 Canberra © Commonwealth of Australia 2017 ISBN 978-1-74366-715-6 (Printed version) ISBN 978-1-74366-716-3 (HTML version) This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial- NoDerivs 3.0 Australia License. The details of this licence are available on the Creative Commons website: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/au/. Chair’s foreword The Australian film and television industry plays an important role in telling the stories that help to foster our cultural identity and also makes a significant economic contribution to the nation. There are however significant technological changes and other issues impacting on its future growth and sustainability. On-demand platforms such as Amazon and Netflix have transformed the way Australians access their screen content. Cinema and television are no longer as dominant due to this audience disruption although they remain an important part of this industry. This inquiry was a timely examination of the policy settings that underpin our domestic screen industry including tax incentives and Australian content quotas. Direct funding by Screen Australia, international co-production treaties, and the foreign actor certification scheme were also reviewed. The committee has made 13 recommendations to government to help secure the future growth and sustainability of Australia’s screen industry. Tax offsets The current tax incentives for film and television were devised 10 years ago and include the producer, location and post, digital and visual effects (PDV) offsets.

  • Election Note for the Australian Investment Council
    ELECTION NOTE FOR THE AUSTRALIAN INVESTMENT COUNCIL STEVE LEWIS, SENIOR ADVISER, NEWGATE COMMUNICATIONS May 2019 SCOMO WINS HISTORIC VICTORY - REVENGE OF THE HOWARD BATTLERS PRIME MINISTER-ELECT Scott Morrison will recall Federal Parliament next month to pass his $158 billion income tax plan as he savours one of the most extraordinary election victories in Australian history. Eight months after taking over a divided and dispirited Liberal Party, Mr Morrison ruthlessly executed a campaign that exploited middle Australia’s fears about Labor’s big taxing and far-reaching reform agenda. Electoral results suggest that the so-called ‘Howard battlers’ – the great mass of tradies and aspirational workers who live in outer urban areas – turned on Labor over its plan to cut loopholes for franking credits and negative gearing. For months, Labor MPs such as Susan Templeman – who is battling to hold on to her seat of Macquarie in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney – has been warning that franking credits were hurting her prospects. Key industry groups – such as Master Builders Australia – also ran targeted campaigns on negative gearing in seats such as Flinders on the Mornington Peninsula, where 14 per cent of the electorate are in the building trade or affiliated industries. SHAPE OF THE 46th PARLIAMENT While the final shape of the Federal Parliament will not be finalised for days, perhaps weeks, the Coalition is certain to form government although it may have to rely on the support of cross bench MPs in the House of Representatives. The Coalition is on track to win 76 seats in the 150 seat House of Representatives.
