ABSTRACT The source, size and recipients of political contributions, and their influence on policy-making, has long been of interest to political scientists, journalists and citizens. There is ever present discussion of ‘dark money’ and ‘pay for play’ politics. However, these discussions are often limited by the inconsistent and sometimes incorrect coding of the Australian Electoral Commission financial disclosure data. These data make it difficult to understand who is financing Australian politics, how patterns of giving differ across donors, parties and time, and how this relates to policy outcomes. This creates a risk that the commentary shaping public understanding of the integrity of political institutions will be flawed. This paper, and the underlying data we present, addresses this gap, providing a firmer foundation for understanding its democratic institutions, helping drive a more informed discussion on the role of money in politics.
政治献金的来源、规模和接受者,以及它们对政策制定的影响,一直是政治学家、记者和公民感兴趣的问题。关于“黑钱”和“游戏付费”政治的讨论一直存在。然而,这些讨论往往受到澳大利亚选举委员会财务披露数据编码不一致、有时不正确的限制。这些数据使人们很难理解谁在资助澳大利亚政治,捐助者、政党和时间的捐赠模式有何不同,以及这与政策结果之间的关系。这就产生了一种风险,即影响公众对政治机构完整性理解的评论将存在缺陷。这篇论文和我们提供的基本数据解决了这一差距,为理解其民主制度提供了更坚实的基础,有助于推动对货币在政治中的作用进行更知情的讨论。

ABSTRACT It is sometimes claimed that the use of preferential voting facilitates more effective representation of under-represented groups than that generated by the first-past-the-post (FPP) system, particularly in combination with higher district magnitude. This claim is tested using unique observational data. Local government elections in New Zealand are conducted using either the single transferable vote (STV) or first-past-the-post, providing the opportunity to compare representation of women and Indigenous Māori across the two sets of councils. When combined with higher district magnitude, STV may sometimes promote the election of women, but has no effects on the election of Māori. The advantages of high district magnitude STV in promoting descriptive representation are counteracted by lack of coordination in candidate nomination and voting because these local electoral contests are predominantly nonpartisan.
摘要有时有人声称,与得票最多者当选(FPP)制度相比,优先投票的使用有助于代表性不足群体获得更有效的代表权,尤其是在地区规模更大的情况下。这一说法是用独特的观测数据进行检验的。新西兰的地方政府选举采用单一可转移选票或得票最多的方式进行,这为比较妇女和土著毛利人在两组委员会中的代表性提供了机会。如果与较高的地区规模相结合,STV有时可能会促进妇女的选举,但对毛利人的选举没有影响。高地区规模STV在促进描述性代表性方面的优势被候选人提名和投票缺乏协调所抵消,因为这些地方选举主要是无党派的。

A qualitative exploration of attitudes towards wealth transfer taxation in Australia 澳大利亚对财富转移税态度的定性探讨

ABSTRACT Inheritance drives wealth concentration and economic inequality, meaning there is a strong case for wealth transfer taxation as an important element of government redistributive policy. In contrast to many OECD countries, Australia has not had estate or inheritance taxes for 40 years and little is known about contemporary public attitudes towards wealth transfer taxation. This paper draws on qualitative interviews investigating the attitudes of young adult and senior Australians towards wealth transfer taxation. Both groups supported the idea of reintroducing wealth transfer taxation in Australia, largely due to an almost universal absence of expectation that people would or should leave bequests to their descendants. These findings raise the possibility that considering the reintroduction of appropriately targeted wealth transfer taxation in Australia at a time when the Commonwealth Government is experiencing acute fiscal pressures may not generate as much public resistance as might have been assumed.
摘要继承会导致财富集中和经济不平等,这意味着有充分的理由将财富转移税作为政府再分配政策的重要组成部分。与许多经合组织国家相比,澳大利亚已经40年没有征收遗产税或遗产税了,对当代公众对财富转移税的态度知之甚少。本文采用定性访谈的方法,调查了澳大利亚年轻人和老年人对财富转移税的态度。这两个团体都支持在澳大利亚重新引入财富转移税的想法,这主要是因为人们几乎普遍没有期望人们会或应该将遗产留给自己的后代。这些发现提出了一种可能性,即在英联邦政府面临严重财政压力之际,考虑在澳大利亚重新引入有针对性的财富转移税,可能不会像人们想象的那样引起公众的抵制。

Personal or political patronage? Judicial appointments and justice loyalty in the High Court of Australia 个人或政治庇护?澳大利亚高等法院的司法任命与司法忠诚

ABSTRACT We examine whether Justices appointed to the High Court of Australia are more likely to find in favour of the Federal Government when the Prime Minister who appointed them is in office than when subsequent Prime Ministers are in office, over the period 1995 to 2019. We find evidence of a loyalty effect, even when subsequent Prime Ministers are of the same political party as the Prime Minister who appointed them. We distinguish between Justices appointed by Labor and Liberal Prime Ministers and show that the loyalty effect holds for Justices appointed by the Howard and Turnbull governments. These findings are important because they are central to the understanding of judicial independence and the rule of law.
摘要我们研究了在1995年至2019年期间,任命澳大利亚高等法院法官的总理在任时,他们是否更有可能支持联邦政府。我们发现了忠诚效应的证据,即使后来的首相与任命他们的首相同属一个政党。我们区分了工党首相和自由党首相任命的法官,并表明霍华德政府和特恩布尔政府任命的法官具有忠诚效应。这些发现很重要,因为它们是理解司法独立和法治的核心。

‘Our diggers would turn in their graves’: nostalgia and civil religion in Australia’s far-right “我们的挖掘者会在坟墓里翻来复去的”:澳大利亚极右翼的怀旧和公民宗教

ABSTRACT Commemorating wars plays an important role in reinforcing a sense of national identity in many countries. Bellah’s (1967) work on civil religion argues that such commemorations have a quasi-sacred character and can have cohesive-inclusive and coercive-exclusive effects. This article examines how references to the Australian New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) are incorporated into far-right messaging online where the Anzac legend is typically discussed with the purpose of conveying a nostalgic image of a narrowly defined, exclusionary national identity. Unconditional glorification of Anzac is used as a benchmark of acceptance, often linked to anti-Muslim messaging and sometimes embedded in a White supremacy agenda. The official Anzac commemorations remain mute to far-right attempts to use Anzac for their own political mobilisation.
在许多国家,纪念战争对增强民族认同感具有重要作用。Bellah(1967)对公民宗教的研究认为,这种纪念活动具有准神圣的性质,可以具有凝聚力-包容性和强制性-排他性的效果。本文探讨了澳大利亚新西兰陆军军团(ANZAC)是如何被纳入极右翼网络信息的,在这些信息中,澳新军团的传奇通常被讨论,目的是传达一种狭隘的、排他性的国家身份的怀旧形象。无条件赞美澳新军团被用作接受的基准,通常与反穆斯林信息有关,有时还被嵌入白人至上主义议程。官方的澳新军团纪念活动对极右翼企图利用澳新军团进行自己的政治动员保持沉默。

ABSTRACT The Principality of Hutt River was founded in 1970. Led by a committed and eccentric family, the Principality was Australia’s most famous micronation. Micronations assert their claims to sovereignty in myriad ways. In this article, we explore what it means to be a micronation by contrasting this phenomenon with Indigenous peoples and communities who also assert a right to sovereignty. As we explain, Indigenous nations are not micronations because they possess a historical claim to legitimacy. We also explore Australia’s approach to micronations. Australia has a disproportionately high representation of micronations relative to its population. We consider three reasons why this may be the case.
摘要赫特河公国成立于1970年。公国由一个忠诚而古怪的家庭领导,是澳大利亚最著名的微型国家。Micronations以多种方式主张主权。在这篇文章中,我们通过将这种现象与同样主张主权的土著人民和社区进行对比,探讨了微型化意味着什么。正如我们所解释的,土著民族不是微型国家,因为他们拥有合法性的历史主张。我们还探讨了澳大利亚的微型化方法。相对于其人口而言,澳大利亚的微型人比例过高。我们认为可能出现这种情况的三个原因。

Are young Australians turning away from democracy? 澳大利亚年轻人正在远离民主吗?

ABSTRACT In most advanced democracies, the decline in electoral turnout has been disproportionately concentrated amongst young people. This study investigates whether young Australians are turning away from the principles and processes of democracy. If so, it further enquires which of the three highly collinear time effects – age, period and cohort (APC) – best explains youth disengagement. Existing works, which focus mostly on generational effects, fail to control for the confounding age and period effects. Using survey data from 2001 to 2019 in the Australian Election Study (AES) and applying multilevel models, this study disentangles the three-time effects. The findings suggest that young Australians are no different from older people and older cohorts in their commitment to principles and both traditional and contemporary (online) processes of democracy. Instead, period effects – that is, short-term political, economic and social context – best explain democratic attitudes and behaviours in Australia.
摘要在大多数发达民主国家,选举投票率的下降不成比例地集中在年轻人身上。这项研究调查了澳大利亚年轻人是否正在背离民主的原则和进程。如果是这样,它进一步询问了三种高度共线的时间效应——年龄、时期和队列(APC)——中哪一种最能解释青年脱离接触。现有的作品主要关注代际效应,但未能控制混淆的年龄和时期效应。本研究利用澳大利亚选举研究(AES)2001年至2019年的调查数据,并应用多层次模型,将三种时间效应解开。研究结果表明,澳大利亚年轻人在对原则以及传统和当代(在线)民主进程的承诺方面与老年人和老年人没有什么不同。相反,时期效应——也就是短期的政治、经济和社会背景——最能解释澳大利亚的民主态度和行为。

ABSTRACT This article provides the first systematic study of the political content of New Zealand’s Chinese and Indian print and online news media during an election campaign period. We assess the comprehensiveness and political balance of election coverage provided by a sample of high-circulation New Zealand-based Chinese and Indian news publications during New Zealand’s 2017 campaign. Overall, we find all the publications in our sample under-reported minor parties and, in some cases, the quantity and tone of their reporting demonstrated strong bias towards the National Party. These findings are significant in a context where such media play an important role in informing ethnic and immigrant minorities during campaigns, and where such minorities form a growing proportion of the New Zealand electorate.
本文首次对竞选期间新西兰中文和印度印刷及在线新闻媒体的政治内容进行了系统研究。我们以新西兰2017年大选期间的高发行量中国和印度新闻出版物为样本,评估了选举报道的全面性和政治平衡性。总体而言,我们发现样本中的所有出版物都对少数党报道不足,在某些情况下,他们报道的数量和语气显示出对国民党的强烈偏见。这些发现具有重要意义,因为这些媒体在竞选期间为少数族裔和移民提供信息方面发挥着重要作用,而且这些少数族裔在新西兰选民中所占的比例越来越大。

Is conditional welfare an effective means for reducing alcohol and drug abuse? An exploration of compulsory income management across four Australian trial sites 有条件的福利是减少酗酒和吸毒的有效手段吗?强制性收入管理在澳大利亚四个试验点的探索

ABSTRACT Conditional welfare has become a prominent policy tool in recent years. One of the harshest forms of conditional welfare in Australia is arguably compulsory income management (CIM) which involves the quarantining of between 50 and 90 per cent of a participant’s benefit payment for spending on food, rent and other essential items. A leading aim of all Australian income management (IM) programs since 2007 has been the reduction of alcohol and other drug (AOD) abuse by participants, which is expected to reduce associated social and community harms. Building on the mixed findings of official evaluations of IM, this qualitative study examines the views of both compulsory and voluntary IM participants and community stakeholders concerning AOD abuse in four IM sites. It concludes that there is little evidence to support the view that IM per se contributes to a significant reduction in AOD abuse.
摘要近年来,有条件福利已成为一种重要的政策工具。澳大利亚最严厉的有条件福利形式之一可以说是强制性收入管理(CIM),它涉及隔离参与者在食品、租金和其他必需品上支出的50%至90%的福利金。自2007年以来,澳大利亚所有收入管理(IM)项目的主要目标都是减少参与者滥用酒精和其他药物,预计这将减少相关的社会和社区危害。基于对IM的官方评估的混合结果,这项定性研究考察了强制和自愿IM参与者以及社区利益相关者对四个IM站点AOD滥用的看法。它的结论是,几乎没有证据支持IM本身有助于显著减少AOD滥用的观点。

One of the harshest forms of conditional welfare in Australia is arguably compulsory income management (CIM) which involves the quarantining of between 50 and 90 per cent of a participant’s benefit payment for spending on food, rent and other essential items. A leading aim of all Australian income management (IM) programs since 2007 has been the reduction of alcohol and other drug (AOD) abuse by participants, which is expected to reduce associated social and community harms. Building on the mixed findings of official evaluations of IM, this qualitative study examines the views of both compulsory and voluntary IM participants and community stakeholders concerning AOD abuse in four IM sites. It concludes that there is little evidence to support the view that IM per se contributes to a significant reduction in AOD abuse.","PeriodicalId":46913,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Political Science","volume":"56 1","pages":"153 - 170"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10361146.2021.1884646","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44193987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT Recent events have placed a spotlight on Muslim-majority relations in Australia, yet research on majority-group Australians’ attitudes toward Muslims is scarce. Drawing on recent survey data augmented with local census data and a web-scraped listing of Australian mosques, and using the tools of multi-group confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA) and multi-group structural equation modelling (MGSEM), this article seeks to explain Islamophobia in Australia. It finds that political party identification, contact with Muslims, and the local prevalence of Muslims all shape Islamophobic attitudes among majority-group Australians. Notably, the effects of intergroup contact and local context vary across different segments of the Australian electorate, with contact and context exerting greater effects among supporters of the Australian Labor Party compared to the Liberal Party–National Party coalition.
最近发生的事件使澳大利亚穆斯林与多数群体的关系成为人们关注的焦点,但关于多数群体澳大利亚人对穆斯林态度的研究却很少。根据最近的调查数据,加上当地人口普查数据和澳大利亚清真寺的网络列表,并使用多群体验证性因素分析(MGCFA)和多群体结构方程模型(MGSEM)的工具,本文试图解释澳大利亚的伊斯兰恐惧症。研究发现,政党认同、与穆斯林的接触以及穆斯林在当地的普遍存在,都影响了多数澳大利亚人的伊斯兰恐惧症态度。值得注意的是,群体间接触和当地背景的影响在澳大利亚选民的不同阶层中有所不同,与自由党-国家党联盟相比,接触和背景对澳大利亚工党支持者的影响更大。
