Book Description
YESTERDAY Buraadja provides a powerful account of the Liberal Party's approach to Indigenous affairs. The party's record of successes and failures is frankly evaluated as an important basis for developing effective approaches to persistent problems. TODAY The problems faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people today are considered through two contrasting lenses: the extremist lens of the Black Lives Matter movement, and the moderate lens of the Uluru Statement from the Heart. The Uluru Statement is shown to offer a modest approach to addressing problems by recognising Indigenous peoples in the Constitution, making agreements, and coming to terms with Australia's history. TOMORROW Andrew Bragg draws on liberal values to make a compelling case for national reconciliation in Australia. He offers some practical suggestions for remembering our history, listening to Indigenous people, and planning for the future.

Broken Heart
Author: Shireen Morris
Publisher: La Trobe University Press
ISBN: 1743823711
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
In late 2023, Australians voted 'No' to recognising Indigenous peoples through a constitutional Voice. Broken Heart unpacks the true, complex history of the referendum, illuminating how an alliance between Indigenous advocates and constitutional conservatives fractured under political pressure, and a proposal conceived in compromise was killed by partisan politics. Told from the unique insider perspective of a constitutional lawyer who worked closely with Noel Pearson on the Voice for over a decade, this book analyses the mistakes of the government and 'Yes' advocates, the fickleness and ultimate intransigence of the right, and the betrayals and lies that led to the referendum's defeat. Broken Heart tells a story of hope and tragedy. But its lessons will assist future reformers and leaders who want to make Australia a better place. 'This is the story of a broken heart and of a large one. Shireen Morris has written an indispensable account of the hard way of the constitutional reformer in this country. An enthralling tale of hope, commitment and goodwill, as well as mendacity, opportunism and betrayal.' Frank Bongiorno 'Powerful and moving . . . Broken Heart is an erudite and forensic analysis of a nation-defining political campaign, ultimately destroyed by betrayal and self-interest. It challenges us to learn, reflect and remain energised if we are to become a better, fairer country.' Larissa Behrendt 'Honest and accurate . . . Shireen's analysis of the complex political and legal landscape in the lead-up to the referendum, and the extreme racism suffered by mob across the country, provides all Australians with valuable lessons. A must read.' Dr Dani Linder 'An indispensable account of the 2023 referendum – its genesis, its tortuous political journey and its tragic failure. Marked by fearless analysis and resolute defiance in the face of defeat, this book raises urgent questions for Australia's future.' Mark McKenna 'This is a true story.' Noel Pearson

Against Public Broadcasting
Author: Chris Berg
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781925501896
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation is a media colossus with a reputation for integrity and quality. It is also a billion-dollar government program that lacks any coherent justification for its existence. Chris Berg and Sinclair Davidson provide a highly readable account of how and why the ABC has come to be in this position. This is the first serious analysis of the rationale for the ABC and its existence in decades. When the ABC was founded in the 1930s the problem was a scarcity of media. Now that we live in a world of media plenty, it is hard to see why the government is still subsidising a media empire. This book provides an outline of how policymakers can dispose of the ABC, while at the same time preserving its value and realising that value for the benefit of taxpayers.

Aramaic Catholicism, Maronite History and Identity
Author: Peter J. El Khouri
Publisher: Connor Court Publishing Pty Limited
ISBN: 9781925501667
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 542
Book Description
Extracts from the Conclusions: ...The book also tracks the modern day religious descendants of the first Christian converts -Jews, indigenous Aramaic and Coptic speaking gentiles, and even the Greek (Antiochian/Melkite) colonists living in the Middle East... In the seventh Christian century, tensions between Rome and Constantinople and private treaties between Byzantine emperors and the newly emerged Arab Muslim caliphs suggest how the Middle East's religious make-up, as the world's heartland of Christianity, was to be considerably altered into the future.... The culture of Aramaic Catholics in the medieval period points to many ongoing influences on the architecture, dress and customs of Western Christianity and Islamic society. Examples are provided such as the succession of Maronite popes in Rome, Western hospital emblems, the Muslim hijab and the minaret tower of mosques. Extract from foreword of Professor Carole Cusack, Department of Studies in Religion, The University of Sydney: ..".This book...merits a wide readership ...and has significance and power for Christians around the world. Peter El Khouri deserves commendation for his patient and careful analysis of a far more diverse Christianity than most Australians in the twenty-first century have ever heard of. I am delighted to warmly recommend this book."

The Future of Medicare?
Author: Jeremy Sammut
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781925826043
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Health is the 'third-rail' of Australian politics. But if the status quo prevails, and we do not overcome the formidable political obstacles to doing things differently in health, Medicare will not only become increasingly unaffordable. Medicare - the so-called jewel in Australia's social policy crown - will also be unable to meet the health needs of Australians in the most responsive and patient-centred way. The challenge confronting policymakers of all political persuasions is to ensure the health system is able to adapt and innovate to meet the most pressing issues threatening the quality and sustainability of Australian healthcare. The Future of Medicare? Health Innovation in 21st Century Australia presents the case for modernising the way Medicare funds and delivers health services to the Australian community The book, therefore, proposes a series of politically-feasible reform options and strategies - from Health Innovation Communities to State 'hospital' income taxes to Health Savings Accounts - to implement innovative health policy and healthcare solutions for the problems that Medicare faces in coming decades.

Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
Few inside accounts have been published in Australia written by those who were active in that part of the Cold War which took place inside Australia's social institutions, especially the trade union movement. Most published memoirs have been written by those on the extreme left of the political spectrum or by defectors from the anti-communist movement. In his account, Keith Harvey, an anti-communist student and trade union movement activist describes his involvement in the struggle carried out, he says, by often unsung people with the highest motives.

Christian Foundations of the Common Law
Author: Augusto Zimmermann
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781925501889
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
"Professor Zimmermann traces how many of our current freedoms within a broad, plural, public square can be attributed to a rich seam of Christian philosophical influence that has evidently infused the development of the common law in different jurisdictions. In my view, this is essential reading for students and scholars alike who seek a fuller appreciation as to the origins of the common law." -- Simon McCrossan LL.M, Barrister, UK Head of Public Policy, Evangelical Alliance UK In this excellent book, Dr Zimmermann carefully lays out for the reader an easily digestible and highly readable account of the Christian roots of the common law in England... His book is a very valuable addition to Australian works on legal history and will assist not only lawyers and law students but all interested readers to better understand why our legal system is as it is. -- Michael Quinlan, Dean and Professor of Law, The University of Notre Dame Australia (Sydney). This book is erudite, informative, well-written and researched and most importantly, it is a timely reminder of the Christian heritage of the Common Law that has served us so well for many centuries." -- Gabriël A. Moens, Emeritus Professor of Law, The University of Queensland. This important book is both a scholarly account of those roots and a warning of the threats the Common Law tradition will face if Western civilization slips its Christian moorings." -- Peter Kurti, Research Fellow, Religion and Civil Society Program. The Centre for Independent Studies (Sydney).

The European Union
Author: Stephen Alomes
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781922449511
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
The European Union faces many challenges today. The global millennium has brought a polycrisis, from the Global Financial Crisis and the great refugee waves to worsening trade wars, Climate Change and the Covid 19 Global Pandemic of 2020-21. Where does the European Union stand in this maelstrom of change? Is all still well even after seven decades without a major European war and an expansion to 28, except now 27, nations? In The European Union - New Challenges and New Leadership, editors Stephen Alomes, Robert Mezyk and Sang Chul Park and their contributors explore the external pressures and internal tensions of the EU today: Euroscepticism, including the dramatic manifestation, Brexit; the cultural and moral divides expressed in Polish and Hungarian dissidence; Australian comparisons and connections, including trade, refugee policy and political ideology; security and citizen engagement; regional development challenges and ongoing Balkan uncertainties; the EU as the world's largest trading bloc as China and the USA embrace trade duels rather than deals. The authors suggest future possibilities for the European Union even in our 'interesting times', positive results rather than a decline of the West after Toynbee or Spengler.
