Australia’s curious coalition
While there exists a large and expanding comparative literature on coalition formation and government, it either ignores or seriously distorts the Australian experience, despite coalitions having been in power nationally for 60 of the past 88 years. Most authors have been content to follow the lead of Giovanni Sartori's contention that in Australia there exists not a coalition but a coalescence because 'the permanent alliance between the Liberal …
Not Going Green
In identifying the demographic and ideological characteristics of Australian voters, Charnock and Ellis (2004) have proposed a two-axis schema on which parties and their supporters are situated according to their attitudes regarding both economic and postmaterialist values and issues. The economic axis represents the traditional left–right spectrum of political competition, covering statist to individualist approaches to economic matters. This is…
New rules of the game
This article briefly outlines the Howard Government's changes to the Integrity Act by considering the inclusiveness of the electoral roll; the impact of early roll closure and why it wasn't as early as expected; whether unusually low admission rates of provisional votes cost Labor seats and affected the Senate result; how important individual incumbency was, buttressed as it was by expanded allowances for sitting members; why little can yet be sa…
The 2006 Victorian State Election
Commentary
The Victorian election of 2002 produced the best result for the State Labor Party in the one hundred years of its existence. Never before has Labor won decisive control of both houses of parliament. Never before has a Labor government had such a large swing to it. Nor has any Labor government ever sat on an electoral cushion as comfortable as that upon which the Bracks government now rests. The 2002 election continued a run of dreadful Victorian …

Trials in Power
Controlling the Victims
Australian governments during the 1930s generally displayed more enthusiasm for controlling the unemployed than for controlling unemployment. The spectacular growth in unemployment that accompanied the great depression brought with it the belief that the unemployed would constitute themselves into a revolutionary force dedicated to the overthrow of the existing social order. Proponents of this view were located at both ends of the political spect…

The Great Depression
Recent years have witnessed a much welcomed upsurge in published material dealing with the Great Depression in Australia. However, a less welcome feature of this research is that it has almost totally ignored the course and effects of the depression in the State of Queensland. It is far beyond the scope of this article to provide a comprehensive coverage of the depression in Queensland; yet it is possible to examine a number of important issues w…
