• W1486767364 abstract "PrefaceWhile libraries are overflowing with political biographies and works on political philosophy and politics, little has been written on the principles which guide members of parliament in the performance of their representative responsibilities. This work hopefully provides some guidance in the three areas it explores: qualifications and disqualifications; parliamentary privilege; and standards of conduct. Linking these three areas is the primary duty of members to act in the public interest rather than in their own personal interest. While the focus is particularly on the position of members of all Australian parliaments and legislatures, the principles examined are relevant to all Westminster parliaments throughout the Commonwealth.While no attempt is made to give an exhaustive account of all the legal and ethical obligations of members, this work endeavours to deal with many of their principal obligations. Particular emphasis is given to their legal obligations, which permeate all three parts of the book. The division into those three parts might perplex some who would correctly assert that all three address the standards of conduct of members, rather than just Part III. Nevertheless, each remains a distinct topic despite their inter-relationship in terms of standards of conduct.This work is intended primarily as a detailed reference work, particularly in relation to Part 1 on qualifications and disqualifications and Part II on parliamentary privilege. These are both technical topics which cannot be adequately explained by a generalised work � such a work would fail to provide the guidance needed to give accurate advice in particular cases. Part III, on the other hand, focuses more on the ethical obligations of members, especially in relation to the disclosure of interests and codes of conduct. It is therefore a more generalised discussion.It is hoped that this work becomes a useful reference work for members of parliament, lawyers, parliamentary officers and staff, political scientists, political journalists, and others who are involved in or are interested observers of the parliamentary process.The origins of this work began in 1988 when I was asked by the Legal Division of the Commonwealth Secretariat in London to undertake a comparative study of the various regimes developed within the Commonwealth concerned with conflict interest and members of parliament. That study, completed in 1989, was subsequently published by the Commonwealth Secretariat as Conflict of Interest: A Commonwealth Study of Members of Parliament. I returned to Australia eager to examine the position in Australia in more depth. Since the publication of my Commonwealth study, there has been increased public focus on the accountability of all who exercise governmental power. Consequently, codes of conduct and registers of interests have become a common feature of the political landscape. How effective they are is unclear in the absence of empirical research, but their proliferation within Australia and overseas sends a message to their respective constituencies that members understand the need for accountability and transparency in the performance of their parliamentary functions.So many people have provided me with assistance of various kinds for which I am very grateful. Several are specifically acknowledged here despite my fear of omitting others who should be mentioned. Particular thanks must go to Emeritus Professor Enid Campbell, Associate Professor Noel Preston, and Emeritus Professor Colin Hughes who reviewed parts of the manuscript. I especially thank Mr Neil Laurie, Deputy Clerk of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland, for reviewing the whole manuscript. My sincere thanks must also go to the Hon Justice Paul Finn for including me for a time in his Integrity in Government Project.I have also been grateful for the assistance provided by various officers of ail Australian parliaments, in particular, Laurie Marquet (WA), Peter Alcock (Tas), Gareth Griffith (NSW), Velia Mignacca (NSW) and Paul Venosta (Vic) who answered my many queries and provided copies of many relevant publications. Special thanks must also be given to Mr Paul Dacey of the Australian Electoral Commission who arranged for Part 1 to be reviewed by all the Electoral Commissions and Offices in Australia. Their comments were indispensible. Thanks must also be extended to Professor Malcolm Cope, Dean of the QUT Law School for the provision of research facilities at QUT in 1999 and to Geoff Barlow at the Bond Law Library for his unfailing assistance.Finally, I am very grateful for the encouragement, patience and tolerance shown by my family and friends, as well as by my colleagues at Bond University Law School, in particular. Professor Laurence Boulle.This was an ambitious project to cover the position of members of the Commonwealth and all six State Parliaments, as well as of the Legislative Assemblies of the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory. I seek the reader's indulgence for any inaccuracies in particular respects. With that qualification, the position is stated as at 1 May 2000." @default.
