Commercial Lobbying in Australia
Politicians and policy makers routinely engage with lobbyists and see them as crucial agents in the political process. But how much do we really know about the Australian lobby system? Although there are a range of reviews of lobby regulation schemes and discussions about the work of lobbyists, a comprehensive contemporary picture of the commercial lobbying system in Australia is missing. Using data from the ‘federal lobby register’, this article…
Parliamentary government in Australia
Outsiders can bring special insights to the study of a nation's politics. This is certainly the case with Australia. With this book, Alan Ward, from the College of William and Mary in Virginia, joi
Religion
Christian voters strongly supported the Howard government prior to 2007, especially more devout Christians who regularly attended church services. If swinging Christian voters contributed to Howard's defeat then one of Kevin Rudd's long-term projects was successful. This article explores the evolution of Rudd's political Christianity, examining the wide range of contributions from religion and the churches during the election campaign. The discus…
Conscience Voting in the Australian Federal Parliament
This article examines the merits of conscience voting and the historical record of parties imposing discipline when matters of individual conscience are raised in the Australian federal parliament. It examines three examples of conscience voting in which legislators were freed from their normal obligation to vote as their party requires. These involved bills to do with euthanasia, research involving embryonic stem cells, and the abortion drug RU4…

The Catholic Lobby
This article is about the place of lobbying by the Catholic Church in contemporary Australian federal politics. It builds on some previous attention by political scientists to Catholic political campaigning (eg, Hogan 1978, 1993 ; see also Byrnes 1993 ), but it is more comprehensive. Discussion of such lobbying uses various terminology and, like much lobbying, it can be viewed in a normative sense either favourably or unfavourably, as democratic …
The Howard Decade in Australian Government and Politics
This collection of papers, focusing on domestic politics, examines a decade of Australian government and politics from 1996-2006 under the Prime Ministership of John Howard. Leading a conservative Coalition government made up of his own Liberal Party and
Religion and Politics in the Howard Decade
The interaction between religion and politics is varied, complex and often heated. It involves constitutional issues, voting behaviour, party composition and electoral competition, faith-based public administration, advocacy and lobbying by churches, mutual criticism by churches and the state, and the public presentation of religious values. This article is a comprehensive mapping and discussion of a range of the major religion and politics issue…

Transitional Hero
This article is a contribution to the debate on the nature of the modern Labor Party and a commentary on the extensive literature which the debate has produced (see Warhurst 1994). An important element in this literature is the argument that the modern Labor Party, led by Bob Hawke and Paul Keating, is no longer the party it once was, but is fundamentally different in its policies, and that indeed in its very nature it is alien to Labor tradition…
The Menzies Era
The Australian conservation foundation
Modern Australian interest groups show evidence of a number of characteristics including, among others, national organisation, professional administration, increasingly close consultative arrangements with government, a tendency to locate their headquarters in the national capital, Canberra, and growing involvement in electoral politics. These developments have led to internal strains within many groups as they attempt to hold together a membersh…
Prospects for an Australian Republic in the Year 2001
Nationalism and republicanism in Australia
The starting point of this article is that for Australia the question of a republic is a nationalist issue. The campaign for an Australian republic will therefore be considered in the context of the evolution of other matters relating to the ties between Australia and Britain. These include the Australian flag, the governor‐generalate, imperial and Australian honours, the national anthem, appeals to the Privy Council and the Australia Act 1986. T…
Business political activism and government relations in large companies in Australia
This paper reports on findings of recent empirical research which deals with the prevalence and role of government relations functions in large companies in Australia. It is argued that large firms have become more politically active in the last two decades and that many of the largest firms have established specialised government relations functions. The operation of such functions is discussed and the implications of such 'in house' corporate p…

The Industries Assistance Commission and the Making of Primary Industry Policy
The Industries Assistance Commission has been a new ingredient to the policymaking process for Australian primary industry. The traditional process contained a number of features — close association with the Country Party, Federal/State bargaining, a powerful Department of Primary Industry and myriad non‐departmental authorities — which together led to policies which were ad hoc , complicated and often based on social rather than economic criteri…

Canada's Intergovernmental Relations Specialists
Over the last decade the federal government and each of the ten provincial governments in Canada have put in place in their administrations significant numbers of intergovernmental relations specialists. These specialists are public servants up to departmental head level who work solely on intergovernmental business. They are located in separate departments or as separate units within central agencies, and are responsible for the coordination of …
The South Australian Government and the Industries Assistance Commission
One frequent source of inter‐governmental conflict within a federation is the different economies of the constituent units, and State governments in Australia have increasingly become aware of the regional consequences of Federal policies in areas such as tariffs. This is of particular concern to South Australia which, compared to other States, has a greater than average reliance on manufacturing industry, especially those industries which depend…

To summarise, there were five interesting features of the election: (i) the size of the first preference movement from the major parties to the Australian Democrats; (ii) the unexpected lack of any significant swing to Labor in the two‐party preferred vote; (iii) the notable uniformity of the results from state to state; (iv) such swing to Labor as did occur was mainly in seats already held by Labor and in urban areas; and (v) the results demonst…

United States' Government Assistance to the Catholic Social Studies Movement, 1953-4
Between 1945 and 1947, four state branches of the Australian Labor Party (N.S.W., Victoria, Queensland, and South Australia), formed A.L.P.-endorsed Industrial Groups in trade unions to work against growing communist influence.1 From the very beginning, the Catholic Social Studies Movement, led by B. A. Santamaria, which had been given Catholic episcopal support in September 1945 in the same cause, worked through the Groups, and was the dominant …

The Australian Labor Party (Anti-Communist) in South Australia, November-December, 1955
Electoral support for the Democratic Labor Party and its pre decessor, the Australian Labor Party (Anti-Communist), has always varied greatly from State to State. Usually it has been at its lowest in South Australia, where, it has been argued, the small size of the Catholic population and the open opposition of the Catholic hierarchy have com bined to limit the party's possibilities. The South Australian branch of the party, along with the W.A. b…

The Northern Territory Governments Canberra Representative
On 14 July 1980 an experiment began in Australian Federal‐State relations which has been accorded little recognition. On that day the Northern Territory government opened an office in Canberra for its new “Canberra Representative”. It was a step no State government had ever taken, although several had discussed such a move over the previous decade during general reconsiderations of the machinery of Federal‐State relations. In particular, Sir Henr…
