VERIFIKASI FAKTA

**BENAR** - Pemerintah Koalisi memang mencoba menghapus Asbestos Safety and Eradication Agency (ASEA) dalam anggaran federal 2014.
**TRUE** - The Coalition government did attempt to scrap the Asbestos Safety and Eradication Agency in the 2014 federal budget.
Asbestos Safety and Eradication Agency (ASEA) didirikan pada 1 Juli 2013 oleh Pemerintah Labor Gillard setelah tinjauan dua tahun mengenai masalah asbestos di Australia [1].
The Asbestos Safety and Eradication Agency (ASEA) was established on July 1, 2013 by the Gillard Labor Government following a two-year review into Australia's asbestos problems [1].
Badan ini dibuat untuk mengoordinasikan pendekatan nasional terhadap manajemen, edukasi, dan eradikasi asbestos, dengan anggaran 12 juta dolar Australia selama empat tahun ditambah 3 juta dolar Australia tambahan untuk melaksanakan Rencana Strategis Nasional tentang Asbestos [2].
The agency was created to coordinate a national approach to asbestos management, education, and eradication, with a budget of $12 million over four years plus an additional $3 million to deliver the National Strategic Plan on Asbestos [2].
Pada Mei 2014, anggaran federal pertama Pemerintah Abbott memasukkan badan ini di antara puluhan lembaga yang ditandai untuk dihapus sebagai bagian dari rekomendasi penghematan biaya Komisi Audit Nasional [3].
In May 2014, the Abbott government's first federal budget included the agency among dozens of bodies marked for abolition as part of the National Commission of Audit's cost-cutting recommendations [3].
Menteri Keuangan Mathias Cormann menyatakan bahwa badan-badan yang dihadapkan pada pemotongan dianggap oleh Koalisi sebagai "hiasan" dan bahwa mereka "disalahgunakan untuk tujuan hubungan masyarakat" [4].
Finance Minister Mathias Cormann stated that agencies facing the axe were considered by the Coalition to be "window dressing" and that they were being "misused for public relations purposes" [4].
Kepala badan tersebut, Peter Tighe, menyatakan kaget atas pengumuman tersebut, mencatat bahwa tidak ada dari Departemen Keuangan yang menghubungi dia atau stafnya untuk mendiskusikan pekerjaan mereka sebelum Komisi Audit atau anggaran [5].
The agency's head, Peter Tighe, expressed shock at the announcement, noting that no one from the Department of Finance had contacted him or his staff to discuss their work prior to the Commission of Audit or the budget [5].

Konteks yang Hilang

**Dukungan Bipartisan saat Pembentukan**: Ketika Pemerintah Labor Gillard mendirikan badan ini pada 2013, badan tersebut menerima dukungan bipartisan dari Koalisi.
**Bipartisan Support at Creation**: When the Gillard Labor government established the agency in 2013, it received bipartisan support from the Coalition.
Senator Liberal Eric Abetz (saat itu Menteri Ketenagakerjaan) mengatakan kepada Senat pada saat itu: "Sekarang kita sebagai komunitas sepenuhnya menyadari semua bahaya asbestos dan efeknya pada orang yang terpapar, masuk akal bagi semua pihak dalam politik dan serikat pekerja serta pengusaha untuk bergabung bersama mencoba mengatasi masalah warisan yang jelas ada di luar sana.
Liberal Senator Eric Abetz (then Employment Minister) told the Senate at the time: "Now that we as a community are fully aware of all the dangers of asbestos and the effects that it has on people exposed to it, it makes good sense for all sides of politics and for unions and employers to join together to try to overcome the legacy issues that are clearly out there.
Masalah warisan itu akan tetap bersama kita sebagai negara setidaknya 30 tahun ke depan" [6]. **Krisis Asbestos Australia**: Klaim ini mengabaikan tingkat keparahan masalah asbestos di Australia.
Those legacy issues will remain with us as a country for at least another 30 years" [6]. **Australia's Asbestos Crisis**: The claim omits the severity of Australia's asbestos problem.
Australia memiliki tingkat penyakit asbestos tertinggi per kapita di dunia, dengan asbestos telah mengklaim lebih dari 33.000 jiwa Australia [7].
Australia has the highest per capita rate of asbestos disease in the world, with asbestos having claimed more than 33,000 Australian lives [7].
Diperkirakan 40.000 orang akan meninggal dalam "gelombang ketiga" penyakit terkait asbestos akibat paparan di rumah dan tempat kerja [8]. **Konteks Anggaran yang Lebih Luas**: Badan ini adalah salah satu dari 76 badan pemerintah yang ditandai untuk dihapus dalam anggaran 2014 sebagai bagian dari latihan penghematan biaya yang menyeluruh yang juga mencakup Australian Workforce and Productivity Agency, Australian Water Commission, serta pemotongan pendanaan CSIRO, ABC, dan SBS [9]. **Hasil Belum Jelas**: Sumber-sumber dari Mei 2014 menunjukkan badan tersebut "ditandai untuk dipotong" tetapi tidak mengkonfirmasi apakah penghapusan benar-benar berlangsung.
An estimated 40,000 people were expected to die in a "third wave" of asbestos-related disease from exposure in homes and workplaces [8]. **Broader Budget Context**: The agency was one of 76 government agencies marked for abolition in the 2014 budget as part of a sweeping cost-cutting exercise that also included the Australian Workforce and Productivity Agency, the Australian Water Commission, and cuts to CSIRO, ABC, and SBS funding [9]. **Outcome Unclear**: The sources from May 2014 indicate the agency was "earmarked for axing" but do not confirm whether the abolition actually proceeded.
Seorang juru bicara Pemerintah menyatakan pada saat itu bahwa "Belum ada keputusan yang dibuat terkait badan tersebut" [10].
A government spokeswoman stated at the time that "No decisions have yet been made in relation to the agency" [10].

**Apakah Labor melakukan hal serupa?** Pencarian dilakukan: "Labor government asbestos agency policy history Australia" Temuan: Ini bukan kasus Labor melakukan hal serupa dengan Koalisi.
**Did Labor do something similar?** Search conducted: "Labor government asbestos agency policy history Australia" Finding: This is not a case of Labor doing something similar to the Coalition.
Sebaliknya, ini adalah kebalikannya - Pemerintah Labor Gillard **membentuk** Asbestos Safety and Eradication Agency pada 2013, dan Koalisi **mencoba menghapusnya** pada 2014.
Rather, it is the reverse - the Gillard Labor government **created** the Asbestos Safety and Eradication Agency in 2013, and the Coalition **attempted to abolish it** in 2014.
Pemerintah Labor mengangkat isu asbestos ke tingkat nasional dengan mendirikan Asbestos Safety and Eradication Agency nasional pertama Australia mulai 1 Juli 2013, menggantikan Office of Asbestos Safety [13].
The Labor government elevated asbestos to the national stage by establishing Australia's first national Asbestos Safety and Eradication Agency from July 1, 2013, replacing the Office of Asbestos Safety [13].
Ini didasarkan pada rekomendasi dari tinjauan dua tahun yang dipimpin oleh Geoff Fary [14]. **Konteks Komparatif**: Tidak ada tindakan setara di mana Labor mencoba menghapus badan bipartisan yang baru dibentuk karena alasan penghematan biaya.
This was based on recommendations from a two-year review chaired by Geoff Fary [14]. **Comparative Context**: There is no equivalent action where Labor attempted to scrap a recently-established bipartisan agency for cost-cutting reasons.

Perspektif Seimbang

**Posisi Koalisi**: Anggaran 2014 Pemerintah Abbott secara eksplisit dibingkai untuk mengatasi apa yang Menteri Keuangan Joe Hockey sebut "pertumbuhan pengeluaran pemerintah yang tidak berkelanjutan" [15].
**The Coalition's Position**: The Abbott government's 2014 budget was explicitly framed as addressing what Treasurer Joe Hockey called an "unsustainable growth in government expenditure" [15].
Komisi Audit Nasional merekomendasikan penghapusan badan tersebut sebagai langkah penghematan biaya.
The National Commission of Audit recommended abolishing the agency as a cost-saving measure.
Pemerintah mempertahankan bahwa mereka tetap "berkomitmen untuk bekerja dengan negara bagian dan wilayah untuk menghilangkan risiko asbestos" bahkan jika badan tersebut dihapus [16]. **Kritik terhadap Keputusan**: Tujuh kelompok dukungan penyakit asbestos (termasuk Bernie Banton Foundation dan Asbestos Diseases Society of Australia) secara bersama-sama mengutuk proposal tersebut, memperingatkan "biaya manusia dari meninggalkan pendekatan seluruh pemerintah" [17].
The government maintained it remained "committed to working with the states and territories to remove asbestos risks" even if the agency was abolished [16]. **Criticism of the Decision**: Seven asbestos disease support groups (including the Bernie Banton Foundation and Asbestos Diseases Society of Australia) jointly condemned the proposal, warning of "human cost of abandoning a whole-of-government approach" [17].
Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union juga menyerukan pendanaan yang berkelanjutan [18].
The Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union also called for continued funding [18].
Komisioner Keselamatan Kerja ACT Mark McCabe menyebut potensi penutupan "kerugian besar" yang akan mengakibatkan "pendekatan yang terus terfragmentasi terhadap apa yang merupakan salah satu masalah keselamatan paling serius yang dihadapi masyarakat kita" [19]. **Ironinya**: Proposal untuk menghapus badan tersebut datang hanya setahun setelah pembentukannya dengan dukungan bipartisan, dan terutama setelah Senator Liberal Eric Abetz sebelumnya dengan kuat mendukung pembentukannya.
ACT Work Safety Commissioner Mark McCabe called the potential closure "a huge loss" that would result in "a continued fragmented approach to what is one of the most serious safety issues confronting our society" [19]. **The Irony**: The proposal to axe the agency came only a year after its establishment with bipartisan support, and notably after Liberal Senator Eric Abetz had strongly supported its creation.
Senator Abetz pada 2014 adalah Menteri Ketenagakerjaan yang bertanggung jawab atas badan tersebut - menteri yang sama yang telah memujinya sebagai penting untuk mengatasi warisan asbestos 30 tahun Australia. **Konteks Kunci**: Ini adalah bagian dari "anggaran austeritas" 2014 yang kontroversial yang menghadapi oposisi publik luas, protes, dan tercatat sebagai anggaran federal Australia yang paling buruk diterima dalam sejarah pemilu [20].
Senator Abetz was by 2014 the Employment Minister responsible for the agency - the same minister who had praised it as essential for addressing Australia's 30-year asbestos legacy. **Key Context**: This was part of the controversial 2014 "austerity budget" that faced widespread public opposition, protests, and was recorded as the worst-received Australian federal budget in polling history [20].
Sebagian besar langkah-langkah anggaran yang paling keras akhirnya disimpan, dibuang, atau dimodifikasi setelah reaksi keras yang signifikan, dan penerimaan buruk anggaran berkontribusi pada penggantian Tony Abbott sebagai Perdana Menteri pada September 2015 [21].
Most of the budget's harshest measures were eventually shelved, dumped, or modified following significant backlash, and the budget's poor reception contributed to Tony Abbott being replaced as Prime Minister in September 2015 [21].

    The Abbott Government says it will save nearly $500 million in tomorrow's budget by taking an axe to Commonwealth agencies. A further 36 government bodies will be abolished on top of the 40 already slated for closure. Parts of seven national, cultural institutions will be merged while the Royal Australian Mint and Defence Housing Australia could be privatised, as the Coalition moves to reduce the size of government. Combined with cuts and closures, thousands of public servants will lose their jobs.
