The Australian Government's new stance on human rights?
Malaysian Activist and Lawyer denied Visa to Australia
Murray Hunter
The
Malaysian political activist and lawyer Haris Ibrahim was
refused a Visa to Enter Australia by the Australian High
Commission in Kuala Lumpur indicates a new attitude on the part
of the Abbott Government towards human rights and free
expression in South-East Asia.
Haris Ibrahim was scheduled to speak to academics at the
Australian National University in Canberra on 29th September. He
was also scheduled to visit Sydney on private business and
attend another speaking engagement in Melbourne.
Haris Ibrahim is the founder of ABU or Anything But UMNO,
referring to the main political party in the ruling coalition.
He along with two opposition members of parliament has been
charged with sedition over remarks made at a May 13th forum
about the recent election in Malaysia, a law almost defunct in
Australian jurisprudence.
It is standard practice for Australian Immigration not to
divulge the reasons for rejecting any application for an
Australian visa, however speculation from an unnamed source from
the organization Global Bersih, a body concerned about free and
fair elections in Malaysia cites the Australian Government
belief that Haris Ibrahim poses a "high risk" if he is allowed
to enter Australia, as many issues he may bring up could be very
sensitive to the Malaysian Government.
Thus it could be asked does Haris Ibrahim's proposed visit to
Australia pose a 'high risk' to whom?
More likely, this visa decision in the first few days of the new
Abbott administration more rightly indicates the government's
attitude and policy in action towards governments in the region.
Based on this decision, what we may be likely to see during this
administration is the government going out of its way to placate
South-East Asian Governments in the area of human rights and
civil liberties, in the interests of good government to
government relationships. The new Abbott government did not want
to rock the boat with Kuala Lumpur in these early days of the
new administration.
The Haris Ibrahim decision shows that the Abbott Government will
be pragmatic rather than principled on general foreign policy
issues. This decision comes very quickly after the Australian
Government's remarks on asylum seeker policy, which has riled
Jakarta.
If these assumptions are found to be valid, then we may have
witnessed a major turn in Australian foreign policy, where the
encouragement of free expression and ideas within the Asian
region is no longer encouraged. Foreign policy was not an issue
widely debated during Australia's recent election, however many
voters will be very surprised with this new policy stance.

The immorality of Australia's prostitution laws
Murray Hunter
Australia's
handling of prostitution is often cited as a success model,
particularly the framework adopted by the State of Victoria.
In the 1970s illegal brothels masqueraded as massage parlors and
street walkers proliferated the street areas around the
notorious suburb of Melbourne, St Kilda. Victoria was the first
state to legalize brothel based prostitution through the
Melbourne and Metropolitan Planning Scheme with the objectives
of controlling industry growth, reducing illegal activities,
preventing criminal elements infiltrating the industry,
preventing child prostitution, and making street walkers safe.
The Victorian model allowed licensed commercial brothels
regulated under the 1994 Prostitution Control Act which became
known as the Sex Work Act, and local government planning
regulations. In addition single owner managed brothels with one
additional sex worker were also allowed and exempt from the need
to obtain a license under the Sex Worker Act. However these
small brothels still needed local government planning approvals
which were almost impossible to obtain, requiring appeals to the
Administrative Appeals Tribunal, needing expensive legal
representation.
The Sex Work Act also allowed escort agencies which could
provide sexual services at customer premises, or just recently
at hotels, although street walkers were still illegal under the
Act.
Under this legislative regime, Consumer Affairs Policy of the
Victorian Government gives the impression that this $500 million
per year legal industry with over 3 million customers is a safe
and reasonable job for women in Victoria. In Victoria
prostitution is considered a consensual act between two people
where one is used sexually by the other. In addition 'pimping'
is legalized by allowing non-sex workers who own and manage
licensed brothels to benefit financially from prostitution. Sex
workers are considered service providers without the guaranteed
pay, protection, and benefits workers that other industries are
afforded.
This situation appears to be institutionalized by the attitudes
of the peak sex worker association, the Scarlet Alliance which
sees prostitution as a legitimate occupation, parallel with the
interests of the commercial brothel owners, who as mentioned are
not sex workers.

This situation
in the state of Victoria leaves sex workers as an exploited group by
both government and commercial interests, where the sex workers
themselves are seen as mere sex objects who generate commercial revenue.
The current prostitution laws in Victoria maintain the industry as a
vocation of oppression against individual sex workers who are unable to
empower themselves and given no resources to cope with the trauma and
violence of the job.
There is indeed an urgent need to put workers in charge of their own
industry, so they can be free of the shackles of legitimized 'pimpism'
that the Sex Work Act enshrines.
Industry statistics indicate that only 10% of commercial brothel
licenses are held by women. Through various legal devices to flaunt the
law, six major entities appear to control the legal industry.
High licensing fees, extremely high capital requirements required to
meet planning regulations to develop a brothel, and a tendency of local
councils to reject new applications, which require expensive legal
representation make it almost impossible for sex workers to own and
operate a legal brothel. In addition, the economics of the industry
really require operators to own the premises they operate from, because
the owners of premises with planning approvals charge sex operators who
wish to lease these premises exorbitant rents, allowing only marginal
returns to the operators.
Obtaining the necessary permits to operate exempt brothels from the Sex
Work Act are so difficult, most sex workers opt to open illegal brothels
under the guise of a massage parlor, thereby going outside the law. They
run the risk if prosecuted of having all their assets forfeited by the
state, a penalty primarily reserved for drug trafficking. In addition
the proprietors of licensed commercial brothels proactively seek to
close down these illegal brothels, due to the competition they give the
legal industry, as most customers tend to visit both legal and illegal
brothels. This brings a situation where the legalized pimps of the
industry are the worst enemy of the weak and unprotected sex workers.
Those sex workers who opt to work within licensed commercial brothels
usually work 12-14 hour shifts where up to 60% of money paid by clients
goes to the brothel. The sex workers are given no assistance in handling
the specific occupational issues related to their work by the licensed
brothels.
Neither the government, sex worker peak body, or brothel recognize the
social and economic inequality of sex workers. A recent Consumer Affairs
of Victoria Report into the Brothel Industry concluded that the major
driver for women entering the industry was financial need. Prostitution
was particularly attractive to single mothers, students, and young
indigenous people, where opportunities for other work are limited by the
lack of training and skills. The young are particularly vulnerable.
Although those advocating the legalization of prostitution highlight
issues like job flexibility and higher financial returns than other
forms of work, the physical and emotional costs, violence and stigma are
huge costs for the individuals concerned. Sex work can be extremely
destructive upon a person's sexuality, where dissociation from mind and
body is often necessary to cope, which can lead to alcohol and drug
dependency. Many sex workers have deep psychological issues that need
urgent attention, not to mention assistance in financial planning and
management. Prostitution in many cases is a route to poverty rather than
out of poverty, often inducing sex workers into pastimes like gambling
as a means to cope with the stresses of handling up to 20 customers a
day.
These are areas of concern totally missing from the Victorian approach
to prostitution. Legislation that was seen as a solution, now appears to
be the cause of the problem.
There is a deep assumption in the Victorian law that society needs to be
protected from sex workers as they are social misfits who shouldn't be
seen. This assumption makes it so difficult for sex workers to acquire
licenses, that they must flaunt the law and operate illegal brothels to
survive, with the consequent legal risks attached. Most importantly the
law is keeping these 25,000 people on the fringe of society where they
are open to violence and exploitation, where sex workers have the mere
status as sex objects for a multi-million dollar industry. The laws have
allowed male domination in what should be and industry primarily
operated by females. The laws have created legitimate pimps who profit
off the earnings of prostitution, where other models like setting up sex
worker cooperatives could have been considered.
The laws have protected licensed brothels and made illegal brothels
owned and operated by sex workers themselves vulnerable and marginal.
The barriers to entry are now so high, sex workers cannot aspire to
operate their own premises legally.
The immorality of the Victorian prostitution laws lies in that they
allow others to exploit vulnerable sex workers. The only thing the Sex
Work Act has achieved is to replace the word pimp with the phrase
'legitimate business operator', which has inflicted unnecessary pain and
suffering on the victims of the sex industry, the sex workers
themselves.
Any legislation that empowers employers over employees should be subject
to social scrutiny, and this should also be the case in the sex
industry. With the state of Victoria allowing continued exploitation of
the vulnerable in society, one has to ask on what moral grounds the
Premier of Victoria Denis Napthine refuses to review the State's sex
laws.

Australian Election: Abbott as PM may surprise everyone
Murray Hunter
Australia
has just gone through a lackluster election, where a change of
government took place. Tony Abbott will be Australia's next prime
minister. However this change in government appeared to lack the
euphoria of past elections that delivered new governments like '72, '75,
'83, '96, and '07. Many fear that an Abbott government will bring
Australian public policy back to the Howard era.
When the election was announced to the Australian public via Twitter
early August, the polls indicated that both major parties where almost
neck and neck. There was some feeling that the very confident and
accomplished campaigner Kevin Rudd could take over the 'popular-scape'
as an underdog and run the Labor campaign as an opposition would,
thereby pushing Abbott out of contention. Rudd showed pragmatism,
exposing many faces to the electorate over the campaign while Abbott
early on looked to be on the defensive avoiding Rudd's early challenge
to an immediate debate the every week the election was called. Abbot
instead chose to stick to his reverberating rhetoric that he has been
using over the last couple of years.
Both leaders were ambitious, full of energy, with a feeling that they
have a lot to prove, vying for the top spot in Australian politics,
which consequently turned the campaign into a presidential style
onslaught to the public. Both leaders engaged the budget, boatpeople,
and taxes in a transactional manner, leaving the big visions primarily
out of the debate. Nothing new and substantial came out of the campaign.
Some promises were even withdrawn or modified and both leaders often had
trouble answering detailed questions from the media. Both sides showed
major flaws which weren't really scrutinized to any great degree, which
seemed to drain credibility from the campaign. It could be argued that
any credibility was replaced by a general apathy from the Australian
electorate, especially the young.
It wasn't long until the Rudd of old emerged. Rudd began making up
policy on the run without any consultation with the Melbourne campaign
office.
Although Labor had handled the 2008 financial crisis well and avoided
recession, kept Australia's debt as one of the lowest within the
developed world, and enjoyed a AAA credit rating, Labor found it
extremely difficult to hide its disintegrating disunity, and the party's
popularity began steadily plunging as the campaign progressed. The
absence of Julia Gillard at the Labor campaign launch was truly symbolic
of Labor's problems. One group within Labor claim the Gillard takeover
of the leadership in 2010 was the beginning of Labor's problems, while
another group is still angry over the Rudd sabotaging of the 2010 Labor
campaign.
This wound is mortal to Labor and must be passed over if Labor is ever
to be an electoral force again.
As all the pre-election polls predicted, the coalition had a convincing
victory. Rudd failed to give voters anything new to hope for and Abbott
managed to keep away from any major campaign mistakes. It appeared the
Australian electorate had long made their decision for change before the
campaign even started. Moreover, Rudd's realignment of Labor policies
towards Abbott's may have played some role in convincing many voters to
support the minor parties, which now hold a potentially antagonistic
balance of power in the senate.
All this just seemed to raise Abbott's status, especially with the
negative campaign Labor ran against him.
The Rudd campaign failed dismally. By the Tuesday before the election
Rudd appeared to have given up, while his deputy Anthony Albanese even
admitted on radio that Labor was heading towards defeat. Labor's private
polling showed a 4-5% swing against it, however most of it went towards
the minor parties minimizing electoral losses, with only around 1.5%
flowing through to the coalition.
By 6.30pm on election night the fate of Labor was clearly seen,
receiving the lowest primary vote in over one hundred years.
Rudd had no personal achievements to rely upon, where it looks like he
just became the 'fall-guy' for Julia Gillard.

It will long
be a matter of conjecture as whether Labor's change over to Rudd from
Gillard really made any difference at all, although Rudd proudly claimed
in his conciliation speech that he managed to 'save the furniture',
staving off a complete political wipeout keeping a credible force in
parliament.
Australia woke up on Sunday morning to a new prime minister designate
Tony Abbott. Until now he has avoided close scrutiny and was a most
unlikely Liberal leader only just scraping in to the party leadership
back in 2010 by one vote. Although he has been in public life for almost
20 years, he is still a paradoxical mystery.
Many have labeled Tony Abbott a masochistic fitness fanatic with
conservative Christian values, and policy inclinations going back to the
Howard era where he served as a minister for nine years. Some believe
that Abbott will ruthlessly cut government spending in education and
health to the point where people will suffer just to balance the budget,
will do little, if anything about climate change due to his skepticism,
and bring up debate about carbon and mining taxes all over again. Many
believe Abbott will take Australia back to the conservative abyss.
Tony Abbott as prime minister will find the transition from opposition
leader to prime minister challenging, especially in facing the fiscal
realities of government, finding a balance between ex-Howard ministers
and the large number of new parliamentary members, and dealing with a
potentially hostile senate. However a look at his past career and
personal history hints that Tony Abbott may not be the type of prime
minister that many fear. Much of Abbott's public persona is a media
creation, his life gives another story.
Tony Abbott is a Rhodes scholar who graduated with a Master of Arts in
politics and philosophy at the prestigious Queens College at Oxford
University. He was one of the architects of former opposition leader
John Hewson's 'fightback' package during the 1990s.
Tony Abbott was a journalist at the influential magazine The Bulletin
and newspaper The Australian, a plant manager at Pioneer Concrete, and
even studied three years theology at St. Patrick's Seminary in Sydney.
This has given him a wide exposure to influential people within
Australian society on all sides of politics. He was first courted by
senior members of the New South Wales labor movement including former
Premier and Foreign Minister Bob Carr to join the Labor party and run
for parliament. By Abbott's own admission, he even voted Labor in the
1988 state election.
Abbott also served as the national convener for Australians for a
Constitutional Monarchy (ACM), when the then prime minister Keating
brought up the idea of an Australian republic into the national debate.
This is the time where Abbott met and worked with John Howard, who in
1994 encouraged him to seek Liberal pre-selection for the Federal seat
of Warringah.
When Tony Abbott was parliamentary secretary to the Minister of
Employment and Education, he set up the Green Corps program which
engaged young people in environmental reconstruction work. He instigated
the work for the dole program as Employment Services Minister and
commissioned the Cole Royal Commission into gangsterism and corruption
in the construction industry, establishing the Office of the Australian
Building and Construction Commissioner with the objective of lifting
industry productivity. As the Health Minister Abbott managed to stop
doctors abandoning the Medicare system. While on holiday in Bali with
his family in 2005 when the Bali Bombings occurred, Abbott visited the
victims in hospital and arranged their evacuation to Singapore.
Tony Abbott also performed a number of heroic acts. During his student
days, he saved a drowning child from being swept out to sea and later in
his university days he helped to rescue children from a burning building
next to a hotel he was drinking in. According to newspaper reports, on
both occasions he never stayed around to be properly thanked.
From Abbott's student politics days until now, his views on issues like
abortion, euthanasia, and gay and lesbian marriage seem to be more
influenced by his personal experiences that his theological background.
He believed that he fathered a child out of wedlock and put that child
up for adoption, he has been very supported of his lesbian sister. From
this perspective Tony Abbott is displays humanistic considerations and
has given deep thought to the logic and rationale behind what he
believes in. For example he believes that legalized euthanasia would
open the way for unscrupulous children to terminate the lives of their
relatives for reasons other than health and comfort.
Tony Abbott is a volunteer member of the NSW Rural Fire Service and as
an opposition spokesperson on Indigenous Affairs spent a number of weeks
teaching in remote communities in Cape York in 2008 and 2009.
Abbott is the author of a number of books which lay out in detail his
view of the world and how policy should be approached within an
Australian context. This makes him a very rare politician who actually
has a philosophy to act upon. Although his views are considered
conservative, they cannot be easily criticized for not being well
thought out.
The personal history and career of Tony Abbott points to a persona that
has not been fully exposed to the Australian people. Abbott has made
many mistakes which have been well publicized. Yet, maybe, Abbott will
be a man with a very definite vision for Australia. He is likely to be
more engaging and inclusive than Howard. More humble than Rudd, and more
productive than Gillard. Expect Tony Abbott to work very strongly on
issues that will leave him a legacy. He may be able to turn his visions
into reality more effectively than Keating was able.
One can see from his views on gay marriage and RU-489, that even though
he may be philosophically opposed to something, he may not necessarily
rule that option out for others. He may be a much more consensus prime
minister than we see today from his role as opposition leader.
Tony Abbott must use this style to confront the big issues that face the
nation. Today some ministries are actually finding it very difficult to
fund their day to day operations. A way must be found to make the
Australian economy competitive again, with new activities that will soak
up increasing unemployment. Australia must find its own place in the
world, where the country does not even have observer status within
ASEAN, nor able to become a member of BRIC. Abbott must rebuild the
credibility of the Australian Government that was torn down with Labor
disunity over the last three years. Finally Abbott must find a way to
bring the young into the political system, where currently around 25%
are not even enrolled to vote.
At least Australia has the rare gift of a philosophy in its leader. The
Australian people may yet be very surprised with who they have elected
as their new prime minister.
