Australia continues to become a state focused on militarism. The AUKUS agreement planned by former PM Morrison is being set by PM Albanese. The recent defense review paper continues a steady climb for Australia to become a military power in the region. A concerning part of this is the use of the nuclear industry, on this show Tilman Ruff from ICAN speaks about the nuclear threat to Australian politics.

Former Prime Minister Scott Morrison insists he would have revealed his secret ministerial appointments - if only he was asked. He's defiant in the face of a vote to censure him in parliament. 

Listen to the latest news from Australia, across the globe, and the latest news from the sports world on SBS Sinhala radio news – Tuesday, 29 November 2022. - ඔස්ට්‍රේලියාවේ සහ ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ නවතම පුවත් මෙන්ම විදෙස් පුවත් සහ ක්‍රීඩා පුවත් රැගත් SBS සිංහල සේවයේ 2022 නොවැම්බර් 29 වන දා අඟහරුවාදා වැඩසටහනේ ප්‍රවෘත්ති ප්‍රකාශයට සවන් දෙන්න.

One of the things that stands out from the Morrison saga is that everyone agrees he has done something wrong. While legally former PM Morrison did not break any law, but his actions were against Australia's principal values as a responsible government. - Salah satu hal yang mencuat dari saga Morrison adalah bahwa semua pihak setuju yang bersangkutan telah melakukan sesuatu yang salah. Secara hukum mantan PM Morrison memang tidak melalukan suatu pelanggaran, namun tindakannya itu bertentangan dengan nilai-nilai prinsipil di Australia sebagai pemerintah yang bertanggung jawab.

The campaign trail has again been overshadowed by the cost of living issues - and the threat of an interest rate rise the Prime Minister is looking to distance himself from. He was not distanced however at an event in Sydney celebrating Eid, where he was confronted by a woman calling on the government to help her family stuck in Afghanistan. - Sa nalalabing higit dalawang linggo ng pag-iikot ng mga politiko sa bansa, kasabay ng drama sa politika nagbabadya ang isyu ng pagtaas ng interest rates ng bansa. Samantala, PM Morrison hinarap ng isang babae na ang mga kaanak ay naipit sa gulo sa Afghanistan.

In their final episode for 2021, Allan and Darren kick things off by discussing President Biden's “Summit for Democracy”. Having debated the merits of democracy as a foreign policy organising principle in Episode 77, they now ask: was the actual summit a net positive, despite controversies prior to and during proceedings? It seems clear Beijing was displeased, but Allan and Darren partially disagree on whether a “competition of systems” is the right frame to understand these dynamics. Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken rolled out the Biden administration's much-anticipated Indo-Pacific Strategy – but was there much there? Next up, PM Scott Morrison hosted South Korea's President Moon Jae-in, the first visit of a foreign leader to Australia since borders closed. Was this a significant visit, and was it more about geopolitics, or economics? How much scope is there for cooperation between Australia and South Korea? Third, Australia does appear to be participating in a political boycott of the Beijing Olympics, but PM Morrison's announcement of this decision was rather unorthodox. What's going on, and can such boycotts be effective? Darren is interested in how the case of Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai is elevating public visibility of human rights issues, creating extra pressure on Beijing, and the International Olympic Committee (IOC), as the February games approach. Finally, both the Olympic boycott and, prior to that, the momentous AUKUS decision were not announced to the public with speeches or formal statements. Is this a growing trend in the public articulation of Australian foreign policy? Does it matter? Best wishes for the holiday season to all, we'll be back in 2022!

On September 15, U.S. President Joe Biden, Australia Prime Minister Scott Morrison, and U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a new trilateral security partnership described by PM Morrison as “a next-generation partnership built on a strong foundation of proven trust.” What does the partnership, known as AUKUS, suggest for the three countries involved, for France and the rest of the European Union, and for China and other countries in the Indo-Pacific region?  In an interview conducted on October 12, 2021, Theresa Fallon and Richard McGregor analyze the significance of AUKUS in conversation with Jason Kelly.

In an episode recorded on 24 June, Allan and Darren take a step back from the news to discuss an emerging theme in international affairs: the competition of systems, which arrays liberal democracies against various types of authoritarianism, with the China model most prominent. President Biden has made both restoring American democracy, and cooperation with likeminded democracies, core pillars of his foreign policy. Allan and Darren compare and contrast Biden's approach with the neoconservative vision from the early 2000s. What is notable is his inward focus on restoring the health of American democracy, which they agree is a necessary starting point. But what then does a “competition of systems” actually entail? Darren tries to articulate a concrete theory of the case, which leads into a longer discussion of the differences between foreign policy, diplomacy and grand strategy, and the extent to which the world has changed since the Treaties of Westphalia in 1648! While it's clear demonstrating the continuing success of democratic models is essential to western leadership of the international order, can democracy be an organising principle of international cooperation? Should the trajectory of other political systems be a matter of direct national interest? Is there a concrete policy agenda that does not collapse into the flawed neoconservative approach or complete hypocrisy? What does one do about “illiberal democracies” or “elected autocracies”? And where does Australia, and PM Morrison's call for a “world order that favours freedom”, fit in?

After some time away from the news, Allan and Darren have a lot to catch up on. This episode begins with PM Scott Morrison's visit to New Zealand to meet his counterpart Jacinda Ardern. Allan provides his readout of the meeting, in which the leaders sought to affirm their shared interests and seemingly quash commentary that there are growing divisions in the relationship. Second on the list is an emerging constitutional crisis in Samoa, where a very close election result ended up in the courts, with the defeated incumbent not accepting the results. Is there anything Canberra can do? Third, the Australian government has announced the closure of its embassy in Kabul due to security concerns, perhaps no surprise given the ongoing troop withdrawals as the West tries to exit a 20-year war. But will the closure have a meaningful impact on Australian foreign policy? Fourth, Darren offers his thoughts on the remarkable story in Belarus, where the government successfully forced a commercial airline flying between two European capitals to land so that it could arrest a dissident on board. Finally, Darren cannot resist but bring up the “lab leak hypothesis”, which is the possibility that COVID-19 leaked (accidentally) out of a lab in Wuhan, rather than jumping to humans from animals. Darren tries to set out why this hypothesis has transformed from fringe conspiracy theory to mainstream debate, one which the Biden Administration has publicly instructed its intelligence agencies to report on in the weeks ahead. How credible is the theory? Does it matter whether it's correct? This is a deep rabbit hole and if listeners want follow Darren down it, some introductory links are in the show notes below.

Sign the Change.org petition here: https://www.change.org/reinstate-holgate The political ambush of Australia Post CEO Christine Holgate that forced her out of Australia Post was a travesty that you must put right. She did not misuse “taxpayers' money” in the middle of a recession, as dishonest politicians claimed; rather, the watches she awarded to executives, in 2018, in accordance with Australia Post rules and with the approval of its then Chair, were appropriate recognition for their exceptional work negotiating the best deal in Australia Post's history. The $220 million Bank@Post deal with three of the Big Four banks made Australia Post profitable and secured the future of postal services in regional Australia by transforming the fortunes of its 2,850 community licensed post offices, small businesses that had faced bankruptcy, who call Christine Holgate “the best CEO Australia Post has ever had”. She achieved all this on a much lower salary than her male predecessors. Christine Holgate's exceptional management of our essential national postal service deserved acclaim, not the vicious character assassination to which you and other politicians subjected her for political reasons. The investigation you demanded has exonerated her of any wrongdoing; for the sake of a viable postal service and the community licensed post offices that serve our regional communities, we demand you apologise to Christine Holgate and instruct your Ministers to stand down the current Chair and order the Board to reinstate her as CEO immediately.

This newsletter is really a public policy thought-letter. While excellent newsletters on specific themes within public policy already exist, this thought-letter is about frameworks, mental models, and key ideas that will hopefully help you think about any public policy problem in imaginative ways. It seeks to answer just one question: how do I think about a particular public policy problem/solution?PS: If you enjoy listening instead of reading, we have this edition available as an audio narration on all podcasting platforms courtesy the good folks at Ad-Auris. If you have any feedback, please send it to us.- RSJGoogle and the Australian government are on a warpath. There is a proposed new law - the News Media Bargaining Code - that forces Google and Facebook to pay media publishers for links to the news on their sites. While other countries have tried to regulate and make Google and Facebook pay for the content they freely use from news sites, this law is a global first.The CodeHere’s a brief summary of the Code from the Australian government press release:The Code will support a diverse and sustainable Australian news media sector, including Australia’s public broadcasters, by:encouraging the parties to undertake commercial negotiations outside the Code;enabling digital platforms to publish standard offers, which provides smaller news media businesses with an efficient pathway to finalising agreements with digital platforms;establishing a negotiation framework under the Code that allows both parties to bargain in good faith and reach binding agreements;ensuring that an independent arbiter is able to determine the level of remuneration that should be paid under a fair and balanced final offer arbitration model should the parties be unable to reach agreement; andsetting clear and workable minimum standards for digital platforms including requiring 14 days advance notice of deliberate algorithm changes that impact news media businesses.The Code will initially apply to Facebook NewsFeed and Google Search. Other digital platform services can be added to the Code in future if there is sufficient evidence to establish that they give rise to a bargaining power imbalance.  404 ErrorGoogle’s reaction was swift. It went for broke in its open letter addressed to Australians:The ability to link freely between websites is fundamental to Search. This code creates an unreasonable and unmanageable financial and operational risk to our business. If the Code were to become law in its current form, we would have no real choice but to stop making Google Search available in Australia.  For Google, search is free and neutral. Its proprietary algorithm takes your search term, trawls the net, ranks the relevant sites and presents to you a million search results in order of what it thinks will be most useful to you. This is free because that’s Google’s mission - to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Along with your search results, it throws up a few relevant ads that might be of interest to you based on your search. These are clearly identified and highlighted as ads. It makes money through them. Search and ads are different silos for it. There’s a separation (or so Google would have us believe) between the church and the state For Google, paying news publishers to link people to their websites is a slippery slope. Other businesses will soon demand for the same. The search algorithm will no longer be pristine. Soon there will be bidding wars to appear higher on the search ranks. The whole principle of open internet will be vitiated. The Australian government responded to Google’s open letter with PM Morrison indulging in some plain speaking:“We don't respond to threats. Australia makes our rules for things you can do in Australia. That's done in our parliament. It's done by our government. And that's how things work here in Australia." Meanwhile, Facebook decided yesterday it will block its users and news publishers from posting links to news sites because of the Code. Best Of Both Worlds?So, how should we think about this?Well, first let’s get all the good that Google has done for the world out of the way. Google has been the among the most transformational tools ever made available to humankind. It deserves its extraordinary profits and market cap. But there have been unintended effects of its dominance especially for news media. News publishers have lost customers as print has fallen out of favour. Their digital properties don’t draw in as much ad revenues and most traffic to them is routed through Google or Facebook. Classifieds which were the other source of their revenues have also gone online. The subscription model might be the way forward but no one has really seen it scale. It still looks like a niche game. There’s hardly a viable business model to run a mainstream newspaper with extensive ground reporting, investigative pieces and deeply researched stories. What has replaced these are free websites with commoditised news from the wire, paid articles masquerading as news, listicles with clickbait-ey headlines and, of course, fake news or disinformation sites with specific political agenda. Poor quality news for free will drive away good quality reportage - that’s the Gresham’s Law for media.The downstream impact of this in culture and politics has been huge. If this were to continue and the price for news nudges towards zero, the supply of news will also be eventually zero. All we will be left with is views, opinions, hearsay and manufactured disinformation. The question therefore is this. Does the bargaining code like that’s being taken to the Australian parliament solve this problem? Sure, Google will be forced to come to the table and negotiate a deal with the publishers. This will mean some additional revenues for them to support journalism that matters to them. But let’s play this out a bit. Different media houses will have different bargaining power. The smaller ones who might be doing cutting edge work won’t have any power to cut a deal for themselves. Google will now have an incentive to push certain types of links over others. Maybe it will present the links from sites whom it doesn’t have to pay on top of its results. You might have the cheaper, low quality journalism being promoted. More Gresham’s Law in action. Will that be a good outcome? Or, will Google play arbiter in ranking the results based on what’s the best commercial deal for it? It will interfere in the search results. Remember it is a publicly listed company. It will do what’s in the best long-term interests of its shareholders. Lastly, there’s a more fundamental shift in the business model of the traditional news publisher that’s needed for them to survive in the long run. An annual boost of income from Google is welcome but not enough. The ability to unbundle their core product, using digital tools to deliver news beyond the written form, flexible subscription options and continuing to invest in content are all steps many of them have taken to remain relevant. They will have to continue investing in them and thinking beyond to fight the good fight. Google itself has worked on a solution to compensate publishers through its platform called Google News Showcase. As the Google open letter said:“With News Showcase, we would pay for publishers’ editorial expertise and for beyond-the-paywall access to news content for users—not for links to news content.”  But the hitch here is the News Showcase doesn’t exactly even the playing field between Google and media outlets. Google has unilaterally decided this is a model that works best for others and it’s now their way or the highway. It’s a bit odd that an organisation that wants to convince the world it isn’t a bully should use a one-size-fits-all model for all publishers or threaten exiting a country because it doesn’t like a proposed new law. It does the exact opposite. The natural question that comes up is if every other country follows the Australian model, will Google exit them all?A more flexible and negotiable News Showcase model is possibly a better option than the News Media Bargaining Code approach that’s being thrust upon Google in Australia. The principles of open internet and free search are too critical to be compromised. It is in Google’s interest to continue to make its model more palatable to publishers than have governments interfere in a space where there’s no real market failure. It appears that’s the way it is going after the strong response it received from the Australian PM. The deal it struck with Nine Entertainment yesterday seems to suggest that. This wasn’t possible even two weeks back:A fortnight ago Nine was dismissive about the Showcase product, insisting it would not negotiate with Google until the law was passed.“This is what monopolies do, they put an offer, in the form of Google Showcase, but not offer to negotiate,” a Nine spokesperson said at the time.“It has to be all on their terms and that is not an approach we will participate in. We support the legislation the government is proposing as the best way to secure a fair payment for our content.” The impending law seems to have got Google back to the negotiating table. If that’s what the law intended to do, it is a good lesson for Google to be proactive about offering flexibility to media platforms world over. We need good quality journalism that’s financially viable and we need an open internet. There shouldn’t be a trade-off between them.
