Women in the Victorian Branch of the Australian Labor Party VICTORIA UNIVERSITY A VERY DIM LIGHT, A VERY STEEP HILL: WOMEN IN THE VICTORIAN BRANCH OF THE AUSTRALIAN LABOR PARTY Submitted by VERONICA ANN O’FLAHERTY BA (Monash), BA Hons (Vic. Melb.), MA (Vic. Melb.) A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ARTS, EDUCATION AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY MELBOURNE, VICTORIA First Supervisor: Dr John Tully Co Supervisor: Professor John McLaren November 2005 ii THESIS SUMMARY This thesis presents a contemporary approach to the problem of the lack of recognition of women in Australian society and politics using the Australian Labor Party (ALP) as background and the Victorian Branch of the Australian Labor Party as a test case. It examines the paradox that women have had the vote in Australia for over a hundred years yet, in the largest political party officially dedicated to social equality, they still fail to hold leadership positions with the exception of Jenny Macklin who is Deputy Leader of the Federal Parliamentary Labor Party (FPLP). Several writers have drawn attention to this puzzle of the lack of effective participation in general by women in Australian political life. Authors such as Joy Damousi, Anne Henderson, Marian Sawer and Marian Simms among others have begun the process of theoretical and historical analysis of women in politics in this country. Sawer and Simms are both prominent female academics in the field of Political Science. Their book, A Woman’s Place: Women and Politics in Australia (1993), is a good example of an emerging genre. Given my own particular academic interests, the thesis is based in the discipline of Political Science. It is not located primarily in the area of Women’s Studies, but feminist theories and ideas are applied, as are historical surveys and sociological perspectives to support my arguments and buttress conclusions. The aim of the work is to examine the Victorian Branch of the ALP between 1946 and 2005 and tests the hypothesis that a combination of societal and structural factors has been responsible for the exclusion of women for the most part from leadership positions in the Party. The Victorian Branch was chosen partly for reasons of access and manageable size, but also because it is representative of general trends in Australian politics. Essentially, this thesis is about the role of women in a major political party committed to the cause of working-class people. It does not deal with policy formulation or the dynamics of the parliamentary arena. Rather, it concentrates on the party’s culture and the structural and organisational factors which affect the participation rates and levels of influence of women. This thesis will contribute to knowledge by analysing the reasons for the exclusion of women from positions of power in the Victorian Branch of the ALP; it also draws lessons about the nature of politics in Australia. Indeed, it constitutes the first major study of the role of women in Victorian ALP politics—no such study currently exists. My own personal case studies will determine how and why and if male-dominated ‘traditions’ (patriarchy) are restricting the progress of women in the public sphere in this country. The research material from interviews with past and present female MPs (including former Victorian Premier Joan Kirner) and State Executive members will provide a great deal of invaluable information and opinion for other students of party politics. The thesis will give an opportunity for female ALP views to be expressed. A further contribution to knowledge will be to establish why injustices, inequalities and constraints have been placed on women which hinder their rise to power in the ALP and the Victorian Branch. It is significant to state that throughout Australia’s largely patriarchal history the nonrecognition, or misrecognition, of Australian women has been a form of exclusion resulting in their under- representation in leadership roles in the ALP and its Victorian Branch. Therefore, by studying the particular processes of how gender diversities are formed within a historical and ideological context, we can start to hypothesis on how and why women have been marginalised with the male-dominated ALP and the Victorian Branch. This thesis will examine why women in the Victorian Branch of the ALP have been largely excluded from decision-making positions. Has a combination of cultural, historical, sociological and structural reasons contributed to their exclusion until some thirty years ago when things began to appear to change? Are attempts to make the Branch more inclusive real or are they simply a form of Marcusian repressive tolerance? Therefore, in order to clarify specific aims of the project, one should ascertain why, despite the attainment of legal, political and social rights, there exists a significant inequality between the genders when it comes to achieving and exercising power and influence in the Federal ALP and the iii Victorian Branch. By researching those factors that create inequality, I hope to ascertain why women have been excluded from decision-making positions in the ALP and the Victorian Branch and document what changes have occurred and suggest future directional aims. iv CERTIFICATION I, Veronica Ann O’Flaherty, declare that the PhD thesis titled, A Very Dim Light, A Very Steep Hill: Women in the Victorian Branch of the Australian Labor Party, is no more than 100,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, figures, appendices, references and footnotes. This thesis contains no material that has been submitted previously, in whole or in part, for the award of any other academic degree or diploma. Except where otherwise indicated, this thesis is my own work. Veronica Ann O’Flaherty v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A thesis is a challenge that involves long periods of exhaustive work.

This thesis will argue that women are no more powerful today in the ALP and the Victorian Branch than when feminism’s second-wave raised women’s chances of accessibility as MPs in the Victorian Branch of the ALP and the federal ALP. In fact, Anne Summers argues that limitations are worse, due to expectations having been raised and hopes lifted (Summers 2003:173). The marked increase in recent years in the number of ALP women MPs seemed to show that all that was required was time for women to take their rightful positions next to men in filling the roles of leadership in the Party. Instead, the same forces that kept women from gaining preselection in the 1950s and 1960s are still there today blocking women from rising to the upper echelons of power. For instance, Julia Gillard a Federal MP, single and childless, had her chances of gaining support for leadership of the Opposition in January 2005 thwarted by other parliamentary members of her own Party. Arguments raised anonymously by Gillard’s ALP male colleagues claimed that women cannot win, suggesting ‘people are not going to vote for a single woman’.

  • Agnes Macready and Bella Guerin
    Agnes Macready Born in 1855 at Rathfriland, County Down, Agnes Macready was the eldest of five children of Presbyterian minister, Reverend Henry Macready, and his wife Jane. In 1867, when Agnes was 12, the family emigrated to Australia. As an adult, Agnes converted to Catholicism, a move described by the Methodist newspaper in these terms: ‘[S]he wandered from green pastures of truth into the enchanted ground of Popery, and is ardent as perverts usually are’. A manifestation of her alleged perverted ardour for popery was her contribution from 1898 of literary sketches and verse to the Sydney Irish-Catholic newspaper the Catholic Press for whom she wrote under the name ‘Arrah Luen’. In 1880 Agnes had commenced training as a nurse at Sydney’s Prince Alfred Hospital, after which she worked at Melbourne Hospital before being appointed matron of Bowral Hospital in New South Wales. When war broke out in South Africa in 1899 Macready volunteered to serve as a nurse. But her request was denied. Undeterred, she paid her own passage to Durban and was the first nurse from Australia to arrive there. But not only was she the first Australian nurse at the Boer War, she also became Australia’s first-ever female war correspondent. Having been commissioned by the Catholic Press to send back reports on the war, she wrote that she saw the war ‘with a woman’s eyes’. Women war correspondents would later challenge the idea that they should cover war only from the so-called ‘woman’s angle’. But, unlike her male counterparts, Agnes was not permitted to visit the front.

  • Social Democracy and the Rudd Labor Government in Australia
    Internationale Politikanalyse International Policy Analysis Andrew Scott Social Democracy and the Rudd Labor Government in Australia As the Rudd Labor Party Government in Australia celebrates two years in office following the Party’s many years in opposition, it is in a strong position. However, it needs to more clearly outline its social democratic ambitions in order to break free from the policies of the former right-wing government, from three decades of neo-liberal intellectual dominance and from association with the ineffectual policy approach of British Labour’s »Third Way«. This can be done with a greater and more sustained commitment to improve industrial relations in favour of working families, including by fur- ther expanding paid parental leave. There also need to be further increases in public investment, including in all forms of education, and policy action to broaden the nation’s economic base by rebuilding manufacturing in- dustry. Other priorities should be to better prevent and alleviate the plight of the unemployed, and to tackle the inadequate taxation presently paid by the wealthy. Australia needs now to look beyond the English-speaking world to en- visage social democratic job creation programs in community services, and to greatly reduce child poverty. Australia also needs better planning for the major cities, where the population is growing most. Consistent with the wish for a greater role as a medium-sized power in the world, Aus- tralia’s Labor Government needs to take more actions towards a humani- tarian

  • May 22 2017 URGENT Hon Richard Wynne Minister
    May 22 2017 URGENT Hon Richard Wynne Minister for Planning Level 16, 8 Nicholson Street East Melbourne VIC 3002 Email: [email protected] METRO RAIL DISASTER MAJOR TRAFFIC JAM – TOORAK RD WEST Melbourne Metro Rail Authority/Yarra Trams are about to commence construction of a “superstop” as part of the new tramline in Toorak Road West between Park Street and St Kilda Road, South Yarra. That superstop is so wide that it will reduce the traffic lanes in both directions to one lane. In response to our numerous requests to the MMRA that the tram stop be reduced in size so as to allow two lanes in each direction we are told it cannot be done because that is the “Policy”. The effect of that one tram stop in the last 500 metres or so of the eight kilometers the Toorak Road tram has travelled to that point will be to create a massive traffic jam for vehicles travelling to St Kilda Road and out of St Kilda Road in an easterly direction. The chaos caused by this traffic jam will impact a large part of Melbourne, will continue for the estimated five years of the Metro construction and perhaps forever because of what is now plainly the PTV (misconceived) intention that the current Park St/Domain Road tram will never be returned. It is extraordinary that one tram stop should be permitted to cause such harm to Melbourne and that it cannot be changed because of the “policy”. It is even more extraordinary when for the previous eight kilometers or more of the Toorak Road tram there are two traffic lanes during peak hours plus a tram line on which cars can travel and not one single disabled tram stop.
