Victorian Electronic Democracy - Final Report - Part IV - The Parliament In considering the issue of webcasting acquisition by the Parliament of Victoria, the Committee observes that the application of shared service or community access provision models may be valuable in optimising the investment in underpinning streaming servers across the State Government, and in partnership with the municipal and community sectors. The Parliament, as a key interface between the public and the legislative and administrative processes, can be afforded clear benefits in harnessing the views and information of the public to guide its investigations and to assist in informed decision making. The Committee notes that the Parliament of Western Australia and the Australian Senate both permit the conduct of meetings via electronic means, with the Senate permitting a range of technologies to constitute an electronic meeting, and the Parliament of Western Australia focusing on video-conferencing facilities. www.parliament.vic.gov.au /sarc/E-Democracy/Final_Report/PartIV.htm   (15905 words)

The reduction in the size of the Parliament in 1998 has changed the consequences of a non-majority result that are different from earlier periods. tasmaniantimes.com /index.php/weblog/comments/rich   (4087 words)

Quota Notes Number 74   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) The adoption, by the Australian Capital Territory, of Tasmania's excellent Hare-Clark electoral system, which was approved by a 65% vote at the Territory's 1992 plebiscite, overcame its last major hurdle on 21st April when the Territory's Legislative Assembly passed the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1994. The other half (Tasmania, WA and soon the ACT) require casual vacancies to be filled directly by the voters, by a re-examination of ballot-papers cast at the public poll that had elected the vacating MP. If the Board were to propose a unicameral Parliament the PRSA would prefer 5 districts each with 9 MPs, but safeguards would need to include entrenchment, in the Constitution Act, of the key Hare-Clark principles, and a right of voters to initiate referendums. www.cs.mu.oz.au /~lee/prsa/qn/74.html   (3025 words)

Tasmania Fightback (Tasmania released its import risk analysis justifying the ban on Feb 23, soon after public release of the second panel's report.). Tasmania is concerned that the Commonwealth unilaterally determines a level of quarantine protection "appropriate for Australia" without regard to the Sovereignty of States and Territories in such matters. Also, in a country as large and diverse as Australia, the suitability of a "one size fits all" set of quarantine measures is highly questionable given that the Sanitary [and] Phytosanitary (SPS) Agreement requires that countries adopt least trade restrictive measures. members.iinet.net.au /~jenks/salmon4.html   (1097 words)

Keep the honourables honourable in parliament » ABC Tasmania The Leader of the Commons in the UK has proposed that MP's lose their honorific titles such as honourable, learned and gallant, but member for Denison Michael Hodgman says he hopes such a rule will never come to Australia.
