	UUFNRV: Nancy Craig Simmons: Emerson's Living Legacy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Emerson has been claimed by the secular world: he is the great thinker and writer--essayist and poet; reformer, idealist, humanist and transcendentalist; the prophet of Self-reliance, the champion of individualism, etc. Unitarians have been less sure where he fits in.
		Emerson devoted his life, his career, to waking people up--provoking them to think for themselves, to trust themselves because they could rely on "a higher origin for events than the will I call mine." This is a statement of religious faith.
		Emerson’s whole philosophy rests on his belief in the divinity (infinitude) of man. Two major scholars of Emerson have summed this up in different, yet similar ways: for Barbara Packer, the "rock" on which all of Emerson’s thought stood is his "internal faith": his immediate conviction of his soul’s connectedness to godhead.

	Two futures of workplace relations
		Emerson says that the AIRC is powerless if one party won’t agree to arbitration as the Coalition Government removed this power except where two parties agree to arbitration, along with the provision that parties must bargain in good faith.
		Emerson says the reasoning behind Labor’s casual policy is that there is little incentive for employers to invest in the skills of casual workers as they may leave in search of more secure employment.
		Emerson acknowledges that organisations have to radically change their thinking in relation to hiring older workers, but would take a different approach to Minister Andrews’ and opt instead to remove impediments that mature age workers might face if they wish to stay in the workforce.

	Done like a dinner over a reheated story - smh.com.au
		Emerson came dressed as that day's dinner with a rehearsed political message on the hated Tony Abbott and what Labor and gullible journalists kept calling "revelations" about Abbott's $100,000 "slush fund" to do Pauline Hanson in politically.
		Emerson's problem was that when Tony Abbott began openly pursuing Hanson in June and July of 1998, after One Nation's stunning vote in the Queensland state election that year, Emerson was not in the Federal Parliament.
		So Emerson missed Abbott's 1998 parliamentary speeches, however politically self-serving, which denounced Hanson and recounted the setting up of the "trust fund" to finance a civil action into what Abbott claimed, correctly, was One Nation's illegal registration as a political party.

	Emerson backs Beazley ahead of Rudd - Breaking News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		But when fellow Queensland Labor MP Craig Emerson stood in for the opposition foreign affairs spokesman on his weekly Brisbane radio segment, he used the air time to explain why Kim Beazley would be a better choice as the new federal leader.
		Dr Emerson, the member for Rankin on Brisbane's outer south and a member of the dominant right faction, said he preferred Mr Beazley because of his greater experience.
		Dr Emerson said Mr Beazley was held in high regard in the community and had "built up a bit of scar tissue" during his time in parliament.

		Craig Emerson has proven himself to be an interesting member of the Federal Labor caucus, and for that at least he should be commended.
		Emerson re-asserts what many hard-nosed types in the Labor Party have already realised – there is a difficult line to walk between taking a strong progressive stance on issues and appealing to the large proportion of the population who do not want a progressive government:
		Posted by: Sarah at January 30, 2006 11:58 AM I'll say this for Craig Emerson - whether you agree with him or not, he's one of the MPs who I've always found to be most accessible and open to debate.

	Niner Charlie: 10/01/2004 - 10/31/2004
		Emerson reportedly stepped aside bcause he knew he would not win the internal factional ballot for a frontbench position and because he desperately needs to prostrate himself before the factional boss, Big Bill Ludwig, if he is to retain his preselection.
		Craig Emerson was originally sponsored into parliament by the AWU Right faction within the Queensland branch of the Labor Party.
		Emerson lost support within Ludwig’s faction because he supported Mark Latham rather than Kim Beazley in the ballot for the Labor leadership conducted on 2 December 2003.

		DR EMERSON: Terry Sharples, his action, that was in fact bankrolled by Tony Abbott — that action led to the prosecution of Pauline Hanson.

	Working relations
		Craig Emerson, Shadow Minister for Workplace Relations, responds to the Business Council of Australia's extremely critical review of ALP workplace relations policies.
		Well how on earth is that going to be the case it's a fully tax payer funded program just the same as the Government's is, so if there's a criticism of Labor's baby care payment somehow reducing productivity, that criticism should equally apply to the Coalition.
		Mark Latham's a great guy, he's a strong leader but most importantly he is absolutely committed to the right policies for Australia, including the right economic policies.

	More people in paid work under new tax reform proposals : Media Releases : News : The University of Melbourne
		A tax reform analysis, released by the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research at the University of Melbourne, shows that current tax reform proposals by Craig Emerson MP and Malcolm Turnbull MP increase labour force participation.
		In a comparative study of four proposals put forward by Craig Emerson and Malcolm Turnbull analysis found that, overall, the proposals were quite similar, especially when broken down into the individual cost of bringing people back into the labour force.
		Emerson’s 15/30/45 per cent tax rate proposal with a tax free threshold of $10,000 for low income families initially costs $5.7 billion but would add over 46,000 people into the workforce, saving about $800 million on the initial costs.

	The Road to Surfdom
		A number of ozbloggers have been critical of a recent piece by Opposition trade spokeperson, Craig Emerson, in which he says that our beloved Prime Minister is anti-Asian.
		Emerson links it to the notion of preferring to trade with nations other than Asian ones.
		This seems to be Emerson's plan in using the term "anti-Asian", though it also seems clear that many have read it as code for a charge of racism.
