	Institute of Advanced Studies - Fear Itself: Carmen Lawrence's Fear and Politics - Simon Thackrah (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Carmen Lawrence was a speaker, and she articulated with great conviction how immoral the policy was and how wrong her party was to support the government.
		Lawrence’s basic thesis is that governments are successful when they induce a fear in voters that is out of proportion to the magnitude of the peril in question, and then offer solutions that are geared towards re-election rather than actually confronting the threats.
		Lawrence applies the same logic to her other topics, with varying degrees of success, insisting that fear-mongering is in ascendance in Australia.

	Carmen Lawrence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Lawrence was born in Northam, a country town in Western Australia, into a strongly conservative and Catholic family.
		The chain of events that derailed Lawrence's career began on 5 November 1992 when a petition was tabled by a Labor member of the WA Legislative Council alleging that one Penny Easton had perjured herself in the Family Court.
		Lawrence won some admiration for her refusal to crack under this pressure, but the damage done to her reputation, and the distraction of Keating from other issues, were factors which contributed to Labor's defeat by the Liberals under John Howard at the March 1996 federal election.

	Out of step with Labor \| The Sunday Mail (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		It's hard to doubt Lawrence's observation that the biggest threat to Australian democracy "since Federation", is not the terrorists but the actions of a government that exploits legitimate concerns to pursue a narrow and divisive domestic and foreign policy agenda.
		Lawrence draws effectively on her academic background to delineate the psychology of fear politics and to ground it firmly in the material circumstances of global politics today.
		Lawrence argues that these attacks are a sign of open hostility based on ignorance and that they occur with subtle encouragement from political leaders.

		It is widely expected that Carmen Lawrence, despite her controversial and chequered career, will win a substantial proportion of the party's feminist vote, and is considered an early favourite.
		Discipline has never been Ms Lawrence's strong point and many believe she would not hesitate to use her "mandate" from the party faithful to challenge the views of the parliamentary wing should they prove a problem.
		Carmen Lawrence's election would be a monument to the failure of Crean's plans to democratise the ALP, and, perhaps, fatally undermine his position as parliamentary leader.
