Book excerpt: In addition to staff allotted to Members of Parliament and Senators for their parliamentary and constituency offices, ministers of the Crown can hire political staff which are paid by public funds. These are often referred to as "exempt staff" because they are exempt from the normal public service hiring processes and regulations. They are expected to provide ministers with the political support and advice that the non-partisan public service cannot. Ministerial staff have become the subject of debate. Because they can have a significant influence on the development and administration of public policy, concerns have been expressed about their accountability and, on occasion, their ethical conduct. While there is some guidance and, more recently, legislation, governing the conduct of ministerial staff, there may be ways in which this guidance can be improved. This paper provides background on the employment of ministerial staff and discusses issues of accountability and ethics. It examines guidance documents on the accountability of ministerial staff, explores several controversies involving ministerial staff and outlines standards of ethical conduct, such as conflict of interest requirements. This paper also looks at how Australia and the United Kingdom utilize ministerial staff.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by members of the Study of Parliament Group, this book assesses Parliament's response to the reorganisation of much of the civil service into 'executive agencies'. Chief executives have been given freedom to take operational decisions. Yet Ministers insist that they themselves remain constitutionally responsible for the work of the agencies. After reviewing Parliament's mechanisms and considering several case-studies, the authors conclude that Parliament has yet to exploit fully the opportunities for greater accountability which the new arrangements provide.

Download or read book The Australian Policy Handbook written by Catherine Althaus and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-21 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventh edition of this classic handbook on the policy process is fully updated, featuring new material on policy making amid local and global disruption, the contestable nature of modern policy advice, commissioning and contracting, public engagement and policy success and failure. The Australian Policy Handbook shows how public policy permeates every aspect of our lives. It is the stuff of government, justifying taxes, driving legislation and shaping our social services. Public policy gives us roads, railways and airports, emergency services, justice, education and health services, defence, industry development and natural resource management. While politicians make the decisions, public servants provide analysis and support for those choices. This updated edition includes new visuals and introduces a series of case studies for the first time. These cases—covering family violence, behavioural economics, justice reinvestment, child protection and more—illustrate the personal and professional challenges of policymaking practice. Drawing on their extensive practical and academic experience, the authors outline the processes used in making public policy. They systematically explain the relationships between political decision makers, public service advisers, community participants and those charged with implementation. The Australian Policy Handbook remains the essential guide for students and practitioners of policy making in Australia.

Download or read book Religious Diversity in Canadian Public Schools written by Dia Dabby and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canadian public schools have long been entrusted with the mandate of socializing children. Yet this duty can rest uneasily alongside religious diversity questions. Grounding its analysis in three seminal Supreme Court cases involving religion in schools, Religious Diversity in Canadian Public Schools reveals legal processes that are unduly linear, compressing multidimensional conversations into an oppositional format and stripping away the voices of children themselves. Dia Dabby contends that schools are in fact microsystems worthy of their own consideration, and with the power to construct their own rules and relationships. This compelling work connects many of the themes that have animated public discourse since multiculturalism was officially enacted in Canada. Situating its analysis in relation to concepts of nation, education, and diversity, Religious Diversity in Canadian Public Schools encourages a deeper conversation about how religion is mediated through public schools and invites a critical reassessment of the role of law in education.
