A cost which is ultimately paid by you from everything from your groceries to housing costs to your power bill. The only reason this impossible position is persisted with is the billions being made by some.</p><p>In the small is an example of classic incredulity. Flying foxes are apparently in a precarious state of survival. The fact that roosts with their tens of thousands are in cities and towns such as Tamworth and Muswellbrook is irrelevant to the edict. If you disturb them from their upside down deification on your house from your tree in your backyard, by such actions as closing your wheelie bin lid too loudly, you will be subject to laws which ultimately are attached to fines for tens of thousands of dollars or jail time.</p><p>Councils are basically left powerless by this clueless law which emanated, paradoxically, from a state Coalition government for which the Minister then is now the Leader of the NSW State Opposition. So much for the Coalition’s former core value of small government.</p><p>These state laws work hand in glove with the Federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (EPBC). They all work in the same oeuvre; a statement of calamity of the impending demise of mankind or nature as a precursor for legislation to restrict your rights and make the state more preeminent in your life.</p><p>There is certainly flora and fauna that should be protected, but hundreds of thousands of bats across towns in the Hunter, New England and elsewhere should not be in that group.</p><p>The problem is no one seems motivated to organise change, they have given up rather than been won over. Instead, there is the frustration that the government that is supposed to represent the people is representing bats.</p><p>The bats do have a very unique attribute that should be noted. They are the carrier of a rabies like virus, bat lyssavirus (ABLV), which is 100% fatal to humans if they contract it. The prognosis: paralysis, delirium, convulsions and death within a fortnight. Tragically, one man died from this in Northern NSW this week. Only a few have contracted the virus from the bats, but all have died from it. There is no cure.</p><p>In between legislation to change the temperature of the globe and possible jail time for disturbing bats is a raft of other proclamations that are similarly ludicrous but accepted only because so many people believe government is both beyond their reach and beyond their comprehension.</p><p>Political party’s membership has plummeted along with the public engagement in politics. The placating of pressure groups and the ingrained view of an ABC Radio National senior government bureaucracy with its 2% audience, a fair swag using faux virtue to underwrite their lifestyle, has resulted in a disengagement of the wider body of Australia by reason of cynicism.</p><p>So when you stay in a motel in Muswellbrook with the stink of thousands of bats for which some carry a rabies-like virus which will kill you, and you realise that if you hunt them away you are committing a crime, then think, this is the same government that is responsible for how the nation manages the most precarious times since World War 2. Unfortunately, many of the laws are supported by us in the Coalition, in fact some of them were brought in by the Coalition.</p><p>And here is an epiphany about our global effect on other countries by Australia having a Net Zero policy. No one else cares away from us sending them cash. It is as irrelevant as our irrelevance lately on devastating display at the G7 meeting, which we are not part of, and the NATO meeting, which we are also not part of. It is as irrelevant as Australia being unable to get a Prime Ministerial meeting with the President of the United States; as irrelevant as China not caring what we think as they do live fire exercises in the sea adjacent to Sydney.</p><p>Australia will need a lantern to find someone in government willing to see what we are doing to ourselves and bring back logic, reinstalling the order that the state is a servant of the people and not the other way around.</p> BARNABY JOYCE OPINION PIECE: NET ZERO AND ENVIRONMENT VIRTUES - Barnaby Joyce	查看 4500	巴纳比·乔伊斯	2025-07-09 00:00:00 2025-07-21 16:12:32	word

Un grupo de centros de pensamiento, organizaciones de la sociedad civil y entidades académicas, integrado por el Instituto de Investigaciones para el Desarrollo con Equidad EQUIDE de la Universidad Iberoamericana, México Evalúa, México, ¿cómo vamos?, Centro de Estudios Espinosa Yglesias, Instituto Mexicano para la Competitividad y Acción Ciudadana Frente a la Pobreza, anuncia la conformación del Consorcio por la Medición y la Evidencia.</p><p>Las organizaciones que integran el Consorcio están convencidas de que la medición de la pobreza y la evaluación de la política social tienen un impacto directo en el desarrollo, la prosperidad y el crecimiento económico de México.</p><p>La iniciativa se presenta en un ánimo de colaboración y diálogo constructivo con el Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI) y las demás entidades responsables de asumir legalmente las atribuciones del extinto Consejo Nacional de Evaluación de la Política de Desarrollo Social (Coneval). En este marco:</p>Lamentamos la desaparición del Coneval, su extinción es una pérdida institucional signiﬁcativa para el país. Su experiencia y capacidad técnica en la medición de la pobreza y la evaluación sistemática de la política social se constituyeron en un pilar fundamental para la mejora de la estrategia de desarrollo social, la identiﬁcación de áreas de oportunidad para el ejercicio de derechos sociales y la toma de decisiones basada en evidencia.Reconocemos la capacidad técnica y autonomía del INEGI en la producción de información estadística y geográﬁca para México. Su experiencia y profesionalismo son garantía de datos conﬁables y de alta calidad, todos ellos de gran importancia para la vida económica y social en el país.Buscamos el diálogo continuo en espacios formales de colaboración constructiva con las entidades públicas responsables de la medición de la pobreza y la evaluación de la política social, con el ﬁn de contribuir con nuestra experiencia y capacidad técnica. En particular, consideramos relevante conocer en detalle el planteamiento técnico del INEGI incluyendo las acciones que se llevarán a cabo para la medición de la pobreza, así como su enfoque y deﬁniciones para la evaluación integral de la política social.Como Consorcio analizaremos de manera independiente los resultados de la Encuesta Nacional de Ingresos y Gastos de los Hogares (ENIGH) como lo hemos hecho durante años, con el objetivo de comprender a fondo las dinámicas económicas y sociales de los hogares mexicanos, así como la evolución de las carencias y de la pobreza multidimensional en el país.Desde cada organización realizaremos análisis propios como un ejercicio de complementariedad y de monitoreo ciudadano y académico, con la intención de aportar insumos adicionales al debate público y la formulación de la política social. Este ejercicio busca contribuir a fortalecer la conﬁanza en los resultados oﬁciales que se presenten.Más adelante, impulsaremos la mejora continua de las mediciones y evaluaciones. Esta transición institucional representa una oportunidad para construir un espacio que permita asegurar la pertinencia y actualización de las mediciones, en sintonía con la evolución de los fenómenos sociales que buscan captarse.<p>Una vez que el INEGI dé a conocer la ENIGH y la nueva medición de la pobreza, presentaremos nuestro análisis en un tiempo oportuno para aportar a la deliberación pública. Esperamos que el Consorcio por la Medición y la Evidencia que hoy presentamos crezca y posibilite un espacio colaborativo aún más amplio para abordar las tareas que se requieren.

3212466	无图 Observatorio Electoral Judicial advierte graves retrocesos en integridad democrática durante la elección judicial La elección judicial de 2025 se llevó a cabo con un diseño institucional deficiente, sin un marco jurídico completo ni el tiempo necesario para su adecuada reglamentación y organización.El Reporte final del OEJ da cuenta de las violaciones sistemáticas a principios constitucionales durante todas las etapas del proceso electoral, desde la reforma hasta la jornada electoral.Se documentó la desigualdad estructural en la competencia, con candidaturas favorecidas por diseño en el boletas confusas, inequidad e ilegalidad en el uso de recursos durante las campañas, así como la falta de información para el voto libre e informado.<p>Ciudad de México, 17 de julio de 2025. Las organizaciones que integran el Observatorio Electoral Judicial (OEJ) —Di-Sentir, Laboratorio Electoral, México Evalúa y Práctica: Laboratorio para la Democracia— alertan sobre la preocupante falta de integridad y autenticidad del Proceso Electoral Extraordinario (PEE) para la renovación del Poder Judicial de la Federación (PJF). En el Informe Final documentan una elección judicial carente de garantías democráticas, con violaciones sistemáticas a los principios de legalidad, certeza, equidad y libertad del sufragio.</p><p>Durante la presentación del documento, las organizaciones revelaron la existencia de profundas deficiencias en el diseño, desarrollo y ejecución del Proceso Electoral Extraordinario para renovar al Poder Judicial de la Federación, concluyendo que fue una elección carente de autenticidad y alejada de los principios constitucionales de certeza, legalidad, equidad y libertad.</p><p>Desde una reforma acelerada y sin debate, pasando por la integración opaca de comités de evaluación, hasta una organización electoral improvisada, con recortes presupuestales y boletas confusas, el proceso estuvo marcado por la discrecionalidad, la falta de transparencia y la injerencia política.</p><p>También se da cuenta de cómo se ignoraron resoluciones judiciales que buscaban frenar violaciones al Estado de Derecho, mientras que cientos de candidaturas fueron registradas sin una evaluación rigurosa, afectando la equidad en la contienda. A pesar de múltiples recursos e impugnaciones, las autoridades electorales y jurisdiccionales optaron por la inacción o la validación de irregularidades. El informe concluye que este proceso constituye un retroceso democrático y urge a una reforma estructural, transparente y participativa que garantice elecciones judiciales legítimas en el futuro.</p><p>En este informe se detallan problemas que se observaron en el PEE como:</p>Falta de certeza jurídica y de presupuesto.Desacato generalizado a suspensiones judiciales.Boletas electorales inequitativas y confusas.Candidaturas con errores y falta de evaluación rigurosa.Reglas de financiamiento y fiscalización aplicables a partidos políticos, que no se adecuaron al contexto de esta elección.Ambigüedad de reglas predefinidas de campañas.Uso de acordeones y baja participación ciudadana durante la jornada electoral.Ausencia de transparencia en los criterios del cómputo de votos.Justicia electoral que convalidó deficiencias del proceso electoral.<p>Al respecto, desde el OEJ realizamos las siguientes recomendaciones:</p>Garantizar el respeto a resoluciones judiciales, restaurando la confianza en el Estado de Derecho y en las instituciones democráticas.Reformar el marco legal con participación plural, garantizando tiempos realistas, procedimientos claros y consulta ciudadana.Establecer reglas uniformes y transparentes para la evaluación de candidaturas, asegurando la idoneidad, independencia y trayectoria de las personas postulantes.Diseñar boletas claras y accesibles, que permitan ejercer el voto de manera informada y equitativa.Fortalecer la autonomía presupuestal y técnica del INE y los OPLEs, asegurando recursos suficientes para elecciones judiciales. <p><i></i><i></i><i></i></p> Observatorio Electoral Judicial advierte graves retrocesos en integridad democrática durante la elección judicial - México Evalúa	查看 4017	墨西哥公共政策分析中心	2025-07-19 03:07:21 2025-07-21 16:02:15	word

Di tengah meningkatnya ketidakpercayaan terhadap lembaga publik dan maraknya praktik korupsi di berbagai sektor, keterlibatan orang muda menjadi semakin penting. Kelas ini dirancang dan berfokus pada tiga topik utama, yaitu; pengantar antikorupsi, kampanye media sosial yang menarik, dan penulisan yang berdampak. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan di Ruang Resonansi ICW dan diikuti oleh 15 pelajar dari berbagai wilayah di sekitar Jakarta.</p><p>Materi pengantar antikorupsi disampaikan oleh Nisa Rizkiah dari Divisi Edukasi ICW dan Ibit dari Bareng Warga. Dalam sesi tersebut, peserta diajak untuk memahami konsep korupsi secara menyeluruh—mulai dari sudut pandang umum hingga definisi spesifik yang tercantum dalam Undang-Undang Tindak Pidana Korupsi (Tipikor). Nisa dan Ibit juga memfasilitasi diskusi interaktif agar peserta dapat melihat praktik antikorupsi sebagai bagian dari kehidupan sehari-hari.</p><p>Pelatihan berlangsung selama satu hari penuh, dimulai pukul 09.00 hingga 17.00 WIB.

3212463	无图 <p>Pemerintah telah mengumumkan lima nama yang tergabung dalam Panitia Seleksi (Pansel) Calon Anggota Ombudsman Republik Indonesia (ORI) periode 2026–2031. Momen yang seharusnya menjadi awal pembaruan lembaga pengawas pelayanan publik ini justru menimbulkan kekhawatiran serius di kalangan masyarakat sipil. Sebab, sejumlah figur yang ditunjuk memiliki latar belakang dan afiliasi yang mengandung potensi konflik kepentingan, baik secara struktural, politik, maupun ideologis.</p>Potensi Konflik dalam Komposisi Pansel<p>Sorotan utama mengarah pada Dr. Erwan Agus Purwanto, yang saat ini menjabat sebagai Deputi Reformasi Birokrasi, Akuntabilitas Aparatur dan Pengawasan di Kementerian PAN-RB. Selain peran strategisnya di birokrasi negara, sejak Desember 2023 ia juga menjabat sebagai Komisaris Independen PT Angkasa Pura I, perusahaan di bawah subholding InJourney Airports, yakni bagian dari holding BUMN pariwisata dan aviasi InJourney. Bandara dan sektor transportasi udara merupakan objek pengawasan langsung Ombudsman, dan kerap muncul dalam laporan pengaduan publik. Dengan posisi ganda ini, Dr. Erwan akan menilai calon anggota Ombudsman yang berpotensi harus mengawasi entitas tempat ia sendiri duduk sebagai pengawas. Ini menimbulkan konflik kepentingan struktural yang nyata, dan melemahkan integritas proses seleksi.</p><p>Perhatian juga mengarah kepada Prof. Dr. Munafrizal Manan, Direktur Jenderal Pelayanan dan Kepatuhan HAM di Kementerian Hukum dan HAM. Pada Mei 2023, ia ditunjuk sebagai Juru Bicara Bidang HAM dan Konstitusi Badan Pemenangan Pemilu (Bappilu) Partai Gerindra. Walaupun tidak tercatat sebagai kader formal, peran dalam struktur kampanye partai menimbulkan kekhawatiran mengenai afiliasi politik dan netralitasnya dalam proses seleksi. Apalagi, Kemenkumham sendiri merupakan institusi yang kerap diadukan ke Ombudsman, terutama dalam layanan pemasyarakatan, imigrasi, dan administrasi. Kombinasi antara jabatan strategis dan afiliasi politik menjadikan posisinya rawan konflik kepentingan.</p><p>Sementara itu, Dr. Ma’mun Murod Al-Barbasy, Rektor Universitas Muhammadiyah Jakarta, dikenal sebagai tokoh intelektual dalam organisasi keagamaan besar, Muhammadiyah. Secara kelembagaan, Muhammadiyah memang menjunjung prinsip non-partisan. Namun dalam praktik politik nasional, afiliasi ideologis para tokohnya dengan aktor politik bukanlah hal yang asing. Potensi bias terhadap kandidat dengan latar belakang serupa bisa muncul, dan oleh karena itu penting bagi Ma’mun untuk menegaskan komitmennya terhadap netralitas dan seleksi yang adil.</p><p>Dr. Ahmad Suaedy, mantan anggota Ombudsman RI periode 2016–2021, kini menjabat sebagai Dekan Fakultas Islam Nusantara di Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Indonesia (UNUSIA). Pengalaman dalam lembaga Ombudsman tentu membawa perspektif yang kaya, namun juga membuka kemungkinan terjadinya nepotisme kelembagaan. Tanpa mekanisme pembatasan atau recusal dari proses seleksi kandidat yang berasal dari jaringan lama, risiko terjadinya pelanggengan status quo di tubuh Ombudsman tidak bisa diabaikan.</p><p>Sedangkan Dr. Ida Budhiati, mantan Komisioner KPU dan anggota Dewan Kehormatan Penyelenggara Pemilu (DKPP) 2017-2022, kini aktif sebagai akademisi di Universitas Bhayangkara. Meski bukan politisi atau kader partai, keterlibatannya dalam struktur penyelenggara pemilu berdekatan dengan dinamika politik elektoral. Menjelang Pemilu 2029, penting baginya untuk menyampaikan secara terbuka posisi netral dan bebas kepentingan dalam menjalankan fungsi seleksi.</p>Mengapa Masalah Ini Serius?<p>Sebagai lembaga negara independen yang diatur oleh UU No. 37 Tahun 2008, Ombudsman Republik Indonesia berperan penting dalam memastikan agar pelayanan publik berjalan adil, bebas dari maladministrasi, dan berpihak pada masyarakat. Kredibilitas lembaga ini bersumber dari integritas proses pembentukannya.</p><p>Dalam Laporan Tahunan Ombudsman RI 2023, tercatat peningkatan pengaduan sebesar 14,6% dibandingkan tahun sebelumnya. Pengaduan paling banyak berasal dari sektor agraria, pendidikan, layanan kependudukan, dan transportasi, dimana mayoritas terkait dengan instansi pemerintah dan BUMN.</p><p>Sementara dalam Laporan Tahunan 2024, yang diluncurkan Mei lalu, tercatat bahwa Ombudsman menerima 10.837 pengaduan masyarakat, dan berhasil menyelesaikan 10.303 kasus. Pemerintah daerah menjadi terlapor terbanyak (5.146 laporan), disusul kementerian/lembaga pusat serta BUMN/BUMD (724 laporan). Selain itu, intervensi Ombudsman berhasil mencegah kerugian negara hingga Rp166,49 miliar. Data ini menunjukkan bahwa pengawasan publik masih sangat dibutuhkan, dan bahwa posisi Ombudsman harus dilindungi dari segala bentuk kompromi politik maupun bisnis.</p>Seruan Masyarakat Sipil<p>Dengan mempertimbangkan tingginya kompleksitas pelayanan publik dan banyaknya konflik kepentingan potensial dalam tubuh Pansel saat ini, kami menyampaikan seruan kepada Presiden Republik Indonesia dan pemangku kepentingan terkait untuk segera:</p>Meninjau kembali dan mengevaluasi susunan Pansel, khususnya nama-nama yang memiliki konflik kepentingan struktural, politik, atau afiliasi ideologis yang tidak terbuka. Mewajibkan seluruh anggota Pansel menyampaikan deklarasi afiliasi dan komitmen netralitas, serta menerapkan prinsip recusal dalam kasus di mana konflik kepentingan tak terhindarkan. Membuka ruang partisipasi publik dalam proses seleksi, termasuk melalui uji publik terhadap para calon dan keterlibatan organisasi masyarakat sipil dalam pemantauan. Membentuk mekanisme pengawasan independen terhadap kerja Pansel, dengan pelibatan unsur non-pemerintah seperti akademisi, jurnalis, dan masyarakat sipil.<p>Koalisi Masyarakat Sipil Peduli Pelayanan Publik (MP3):</p>Munawir Rokhmad, Yappika-actionaid, Rinto Siahaan, International NGO Forum on Indonesian Development (INFID), Agus Sarwono, TI Indonesia Wana Alamsyah, Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) Pansel Ombudsman dan Ancaman Konflik Kepentingan: Publik Patut Waspada \| ICW	查看 5907	印度尼西亚腐败观察	2025-07-21 15:49:02 2025-07-21 15:49:09	word

Sebanyak 27 anak dari lingkungan sekitar turut serta dalam acara ini dengan penuh semangat dan antusiasme.</p><p>Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk memperkenalkan Ruang Resonansi ICW sebagai ruang publik untuk berkumpul dan melakukan kegiatan yang berkaitan dengan gerakan sosial—utamanya gerakan antikorupsi. Selain itu, juga merupakan bagian dari pelibatan masyarakat, khususnya anak-anak, untuk mulai mengenal nilai-nilai antikorupsi salah satunya “Integritas dan Kejujuran” sejak usia dini. Dengan pendekatan seni dan aktivitas kreatif, nilai antikorupsi seperti integritas dan kejujuran dapat ditanamkan secara menyenangkan dan lebih mudah dipahami oleh anak-anak.</p><p>Anak-anak diajak untuk menuangkan imajinasi mereka dalam bentuk gambar dan warna, dengan tema besar “jujur dan bertanggung jawab.” Meskipun sederhana, kegiatan mewarnai ini menjadi cara efektif untuk menginternalisasi nilai moral secara visual dan personal. Melalui gambar-gambar yang mereka warnai, anak-anak juga diberi ruang untuk berbagi cerita tentang makna kejujuran dalam kehidupan mereka sehari-hari—baik di rumah, sekolah, maupun dalam pergaulan.</p><p>Selama kegiatan berlangsung, suasana aula penuh dengan canda tawa, warna-warni, dan diskusi ringan seputar sikap jujur dan tanggung jawab yang ditanyakan oleh Aulia, Zuhri, dan Rofi selaku fasilitator dari ICW. Kawan-kawan fasilitator ICW juga menyisipkan edukasi ringan melalui cerita dan tanya jawab sederhana, menjadikan suasana belajar terasa menyenangkan dan tidak menggurui. Aktivitas ini menjadi contoh nyata bahwa pendidikan antikorupsi tidak harus selalu kelas yang kaku dan terkesan sangat serius, dan justru dapat dimulai dengan metode yang inklusif dan menyenangkan.</p><p>Melalui kegiatan ini, ICW berharap anak-anak dapat menjadi agen perubahan kecil di lingkungannya masing-masing—membawa semangat kejujuran dan nilai antikorupsi dalam keseharian mereka. Aktivitas semacam ini akan terus menjadi bagian dari strategi pelibatan masyarakat dalam gerakan antikorupsi yang berkelanjutan dan menyentuh berbagai lapisan usia.</p><p>(Aul/Rofi)</p> Penanaman Nilai Antikorupsi Melalui Seni: Mewarnai Bersama Anak Dengan Tema Nilai Integritas \| ICW	查看 2395	印度尼西亚腐败观察	2025-07-21 15:49:00 2025-07-21 15:49:09	word
