What do PhD candidates and supervisors say about the quality of PhD training, the supervisory experience, and post-PhD career prospects? With little research into the quality of Australian politics and international relations PhD programmes, and the impacts of COVID-19 exacerbating concerns about academic job prospects, we need to evaluate the quality of PhD training. This paper reports on two mirrored surveys of PhD candidates (n = 109) and supervisors (n = 55) in Politics and International Relations from twenty-three Australian universities. The survey, conducted in 2022, drew on a 2013 survey of Australian PhD candidates in these disciplines, allowing for temporal comparisons. We find that methods training is perceived as largely non-existent or insufficient. We also find that there is a lack of job preparedness training built into the PhD programme, whether for academic or non-academic careers. Finally, we highlight ongoing gendered disparities that negatively impact female candidates and supervisors.

Like many liberal democracies, there is a gender gap in the Australian Parliament. While there has been growing momentum to increase the number of female parliamentarians in the national legislature, the Parliament of Australia continues to be a male dominated domain. This paper investigates the factors that contribute to maintaining the gender gap by focusing on the ambitions of young women to become a member of the national parliament. We find that the appeal of becoming a parliamentarian for young women is significantly curtailed by beliefs that the institution maintains stereotypical gender norms as well as a masculine, and misogynistic, culture. Furthermore, we find that young women believe they lack the skills and confidence required to occupy public office which further diminishes their political ambition.

The state of Victoria, Australia experienced some of the longest and strictest COVID-19 lockdowns in the world, and among the highest peaks of COVID-19 cases in the country. Despite this, the Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has retained his leadership position, as well as public support in the polls and high compliance with COVID-19 restrictions which resulted in Victoria eliminating two waves of the virus over 2020. This article investigates how Andrews supported his government's policy response to COVID-19 by attempting to construct the reality of crisis in the public consciousness. Through a thematic analysis of Andrews’ press conferences, media releases, and social media posts, it is found that a campaign of language, imagery, metaphor and narrative framed the pandemic as a crisis that was urgent, but nonetheless familiar and manageable.

ABSTRACT Post-election reviews provide an opportunity for political parties to diagnose the reasons for their success or failure. Since 2019, the reviews conducted by the Australian Labor and Liberal parties have been made public, and they provide an ideal opportunity to test their explanations against the evidence. This paper identifies six explanations for the 2022 Australian federal election outcome and tests them using the 2022 Australian Election Study survey. Both reviews correctly identify the importance of leadership and the pandemic in shaping the election result but underplay the importance of independents and of climate change. Both reviews over-estimate changes in voting among women and immigrants. Overall, the reviews are only partially accurate in explaining the election result.

ABSTRACT In recent years, the concept of ‘free speech’ appears to have reached a position of significant prominence in public debate. In this context, we ask how the concept of free speech was used discursively by the Morrison-led government. Utilising a political discourse analytic approach, and examining texts from 2019 to 2021, we argue that, and show how, the government engaged in multiple discourses around free speech that were incompatible, inconsistent and incoherent. These inconsistencies and discontinuities were so significant as to render this a ‘weaponisation’ of free speech discourse. Thus, the article both reveals the complexities of the Morrison government’s discursive positioning of free speech, and renders sensible the otherwise nonsensical way in which ‘free speech’ was used to garner support for a range of public policies.

ABSTRACT Large corporations in Australia have shifted from limited to more fulsome engagement in political activity (CPA) in recent decades. The paper argues that this reflects corporate institutional change in response to wider changes in the environment that have included growing government intervention, increased industry concentration and intra-sectoral competition, and a more complex and challenging discursive and issues environment. Quantitative and regression-based analysis of the drivers of CPA are employed and the analysis is extended and deepened with material drawn from interviews with twenty-five corporate government relations professionals.
