Sanitised or sterilised? A ban on donations to fully publicly funded political parties
Political finance regulation commonly aims to prevent private money from unfairly affecting electoral outcomes and unduly influencing elected officials. A totalising option is to ban all private funding of parties and candidates – to replace it fully with public funding. South Australia, a sub-national jurisdiction in Australia, has done just that, by legislating to ban donations to parties and candidates and to replace party finances with public…
Robust Watchdogs, Toothless Tigers, or Kangaroo Courts? The Evolution of Anti-corruption Commissions in Australia
The spotlight has been shone on anti-corruption commissions with the creation of the National Anti-corruption Commission at the federal level in 2023. Despite the importance of these agencies in combating corruption in government, there is relatively little academic research in this area. This article will conduct a historical analysis of the development and evolution of anti-corruption commissions across the Australian federation. It will examin…
A positive partnership
The Australian system of government was founded on the Westminster tradition, which relies on the binary relationship between Ministers and the Australian Public Service (APS). However, the increasing number of ministerial advisers over the past 40 years has changed the balance of power in the Australian executive. While public servants are able to work in a Minister's office, this article considers whether the movement of public servants between…

Foreign Agent Registration Schemes in Australia and the United States
Regulators and governments around the world have been active of late in considering the best method by which to hold accountable foreign influence on political processes. Australia’s response to this issue was to pass a package of laws, including the Foreign Influence Transparency Scheme Act (‘FITSA’), which creates a new public register for those acting on behalf of a foreign principal. This article compares FITSA against the US Act on which it …
Revitalising Public Law in a Technological Era
Author Yee-Fui Ng, Maria O’Sullivan, Moira Paterson and Normann Witzleb This article examines how public law should be revitalised in light of the increasing use of technology in government decision-making.

Democratic Representation and the Property Franchise in Australian Local Government
Australia remains one of the last liberal democracies to retain a property franchise at the local government level. This particular feature is both the result of historical particularities and contemporary political arrangements. This article analyses the property franchise in the City of Melbourne, the capital of the Australian State of Victoria, based on democratic theory and an empirical study. It illustrates the tensions between the democrati…
Dispelling myths about conventions
There is a tension between a key principle underpinning liberal democratic governments and the associated political practice. Responsible government demands that the Executive is responsible to the Legislature. Governments, however, are generally inclined to evade or limit their accountability to Parliament wherever possible. In addition, ministerial advisers have thus far been excluded from the accountability framework of responsible government.…
