  • In Search of the Light on the Hill
    Curtin University In search of the light on the hill JCPML Anniversary Lecture presented by Hazel Hawke on 5 July 1999. First, I must say how very much I appreciate having been invited to present the John Curtin Lecture at this University named for him. Curtin has been called Australia’s greatest Prime Minister. I am not going to venture a judgment on that one way or the other today — it could be dangerous ground in more ways than one. I am here to honour one Labor Prime Minister; I am in the presence of another; and I have had a long and close association with a third. A fourth, Paul Keating, who was yet to achieve the highest office at the time, in his famous — or should I say infamous — ‘Placido Domingo’ speech, did once seek to judge and compare his predecessors. This became the spark that ignited the long simmering tensions between him and Bob. I believe the men I have mentioned have each in different ways and very different styles been good leaders and have done great things for their country. For my theme though, I have turned to a phrase that derives from yet another Labor Prime Minister, the engine driver who succeeded Curtin after serving in his War Cabinet, Ben Chifley. In what turned out to be the losing election campaign of 1949 Chifley said, “It is the duty and the responsibility of the community, and particularly those more fortunately placed, to see that our less fortunate fellow citizens are protected from those shafts of fate which leave them helpless and without hope … That is the Page 1 of 18 objective for which we are striving.

  • Leadership in the National Council of Women of Australia, 1930S–1970S
    7. Moderate and mainstream: Leadership in the National Council of Women of Australia, 1930s–1970s Judith Smart1 and Marian Quartly2 A major step in the development of women’s activism and civic awareness in Australia was the formation of National Councils of Women in all States between 1896 and 1910, culminating in the emergence of the Federated Councils in 1924– 25 and the National Council of Women of Australia (NCWA) in 1931.3 Linked to the International Council of Women (ICW), and through it first to the League of Nations and later the United Nations, the council movement provided, in the words of one of its early leaders, a conduit for mainstream Australian women’s organisations and their members to ‘accomplish good, useful, humane work in the best interests of the nation’.4 It aimed to ‘bring together for discussion [and] the forming of public opinion, the workers who are doing the practical work of social education and improvement’.5 Because the council was conceived as an umbrella structure, existing women’s groups of all kinds could gather under its shelter at national and international levels to discuss matters of common interest, to gather information and to learn from each other in order to promote peace and general wellbeing. This structure also ensured that leadership within the council would develop along the lines described by Amanda Sinclair as ‘adaptive’: ‘a process of influence … aimed at mobilising people towards changes … in values, attitudes, approaches, behaviours and ideologies.’6 Though the councils included radicals among their affiliates, the feminist face they presented was self-consciously moderate with an emphasis on information, education and cooperation rather than on activism, agitation and opposition.

  • Representation of Women in Australian Parliaments 2014 9 July
    RESEARCH PAPER SERIES, 2014–15 9 JULY 2014 Representation of women in Australian parliaments 2014 Dr Joy McCann and Janet Wilson Politics and Public Administration Executive summary • Across Australia women continue to be significantly under-represented in parliament and executive government, comprising less than one-third of all parliamentarians and one-fifth of all ministers. • Internationally, Australia’s ranking for women in national government continues to decline when compared with other countries. • The representation of women in Australia’s parliaments hovers around the ‘critical mass’ of 30 per cent regarded by the United Nations as the minimum level necessary for women to influence decision-making in parliament. • There is no consensus amongst researchers in the field as to why women continue to be under-represented in Australia’s system of parliamentary democracy, although a number of factors contribute to the gender imbalance. This paper includes discussion of some of the structural, social and cultural factors influencing women’s representation including the type of electoral system, the culture of political parties, and the nature of politics and the parliamentary environment in Australia. • This updated paper draws on recent data and research to discuss trends and issues relating to women in Australian parliaments within an international context. It includes data on women in leadership and ministry positions, on committees and as candidates in Commonwealth elections. Whilst the focus is on the Commonwealth Parliament, the paper includes comparative information about women in state and territory parliaments. • The issue of gender diversity is also discussed within the broader context of women in leadership and executive decision-making roles in Australia including local government, government boards and in the corporate sector.

PREFACE. In the history of individual families may be traced the progress of the national wealth. Nor are those families whose names appear in Domesday Book to be specially regarded as the bulwarks of the Commonwealth. Many of the baronial families associated with our early history have no actual representatives, further than in their titles or appellatives ; while those who, thi'ough the artificial system of entail, have contrived to retain their family possessions, have often failed to evince the noble qualities of their ancestors. The departure without succession of those nobles and barons who during the struggle for Independ- ence in Scotland yielded to the Usurper, or who at the epoch of the Reformation snatched the lands of the Church without offering an equivalent, is a cause of satisfaction rather than of regret. These pages present the genealogical annals of Four Scottish Famihes, whose claim to consideration rests chiefly on their industry, while the distinction achieved by individual members has been due solely to their energies.
