  • LAYING CLIO's GHOSTS on the SHORES of NEW HOLLAND* the Title Does Not Foreshadow an Ex
    EMPTY HISTORICAL BOXES OF THE EARLY DAYS: LAYING CLIO'S GHOSTS ON THE SHORES OF NEW HOLLAND* By DUNCAN ~T ACC.ALU'M HE title does not foreshadow an exhumation of the village Hampdens, as Webb T called them,! buried on the shores of Botany Bay. In fact, they were probably thieves, but let their ;-emains rest in peace. No, the metaphor in the title is from an analogy from a memorable controversy in value theory in Economics. 2 The title was meant to suggest the need for giving some historical content to the emotions that have accompanied discussions of the early period. Some of the figures which seem to have been conjured up by historical writers have been given malignancy but 110t identity. Yet these faceless men of the past, and the roles for which they have been cast, seem to distort the play of life. And indeed, it is perhaps because the historical boxes have remained unfilled, and because the background-the rest of the play and action-has not been fully explored, that some people of the early period, well known to us by name, have been interpreted in the light of twentieth-century prejudice and political controversy. We know all too little about the quality of day-to-day life in early Australia, the spiritual and material existence of the early Europeans, their energies, their activities and outlook. In the first stage of an inquiry I have been pursuing into our early social history, I am concerned not with these more elusive yet in a way more interesting questions, but in what sort of colony it was with the officers, the gaol and the port.

  • Some Queensland Memoir Writer^
    Some Queensland Memoir Writer^. Presidential Address, by F. W. S. CUMBRAE-STEWART, B.A., B.O.L. At Annual Meeting of the Historical Society of Queensland, Friday, 30th August, 1918. Five years have passed since the inaugural meeting of this Society was held under the chairmanship of His Excellency, Sir William Macgregor, then Governor of Queensland and patron of the Society. During the time which has elapsed much history has been made, and the events which have shaken the world have not been favourable to quiet historical research, and I think that the Society must be congratulated on having maintained its existence in spite of so much that has hindered its work. Other difficulties overshadowed us. Before the first year had passed several of our members had died, and Sir William Macgregor had completed his useful and unstinted official service to the Empire. His retirement from the Governorship of Queensland removed him from us to his native;land. None of us who were privileged to be present will forget that morning when, on 15th July, 1914, he said farewell to us. Then came the war, which the wise had foretold, but the foolish ones had thought- was impossible. At one time the question of suspending the Society's operations was considered, but it was decided to carry on. When Sir Wm. Macgregor's successor arrived, he gave very ready and material help by taking the Society under his patronage. There are Others who have passed from our midst whose places we can never fill. Each year has added its toll.

  • Equity the Equity of Sir Frederick Jordan W M C GUMMOW *
    Equity The Equity of Sir Frederick Jordan w M c GUMMOW * Perhaps the most striking feature of the history of the teaching of equity in the Sydney University Law School has been the involvement of practitioners who later joined the Bench, themselves then to deliver judgments which may have served to instruct subsequent generations of students. I mention, in particular, Sir George Rich, Mr Justice Roper, Sir Victor Windeyer, Sir Kenneth Jacobs and Sir Anthony Mason. But the strongest mark left upon the teaching of equity has been that of Sir Frederick Jordan. It was as Challis Lecturer in Equity (from 1909) that Mr Jordan prepared the first two editions of his Chapters in Equity, being, as he wrote, portions of the notes of lectures on the principles of equity delivered at the Law School in the University of Sydney. There followed four further editions, under other hands, which were used until some twenty years ago as the foundation of the equity course at the Law School. Sir Frederick Jordan also prepared for publication portions of his notes of lectures upon Administration of Estates of Deceased Persons. The third (and last) edition was prepared by the author in 1948. The teaching of that subject for over thirty years was profoundly associated with the late Mr Justice Hutley, whose dedication to the teaching of the law will, one hopes, long be remembered. Sir Frederick Jordan was appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New South Wales on 1 February 1934 and died, in office, on 4 November 1949. In the intervening period, he delivered judgments in the Full Court dealing with subjects which ranged far beyond the realm of equity.

  • Calling out the Military: a Theoretical and Jurisprudential Justification of the Expansion of Domestic Military Powers Anasuya Datta
    CALLING OUT THE MILITARY: A THEORETICAL AND JURISPRUDENTIAL JUSTIFICATION OF THE EXPANSION OF DOMESTIC MILITARY POWERS ANASUYA DATTA I INTRODUCTION Historically, military involvement in domestic affairs was associated with authoritarianism and military dictatorships.1 Since the 1688 Glorious Revolution, British political culture has been hostile towards domestic military deployments, due to parliamentary supremacy ensuring that power rested with Parliament, not the Executive’s discretion alone.2 The absence of using military forces domestically was considered fundamental to liberal democracy.3 However, there are tensions between this and the state’s responsibility to protect its citizens in emergencies. In Australia, Part IIIAAA of the Defence Act 1903 (Cth) (‘Defence Act’) regulates military call-outs, permitting military involvement in aid of civil power and law enforcement.4 After the 2014 Lindt Café siege, the government was criticised for not calling out the Australian Defence Force (ADF), despite its terrorist nature5 which put the ADF on notice for a potential call-out.6 The New South Wales Police did not declare the event beyond their capabilities, thus not warranting ADF call-out. Arguably the ADF should have been called out to resolve the situation due to its expertise in armed conflict and its aggressive approach which better suits counter-terrorism.7 Since then, the Defence Department has considered reforming Part IIIAAA to facilitate faster anti-terror responses.8 Conversely, Part IIIAAA has been criticised as an overstepping of state power through broad and extensive powers9 in allowing military involvement domestically. Despite criticisms, the unforeseen nature of terrorism requires greater state power to protect.

  • 17 October 1989
    3121 iternetatnwp TIunrt Tuesday, 17 October 1989 THE PRESIDENT (Hon Clive Griffiths) took the Chair at 3.30 pm, and read prayers. MOTION - G OVERNOR OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA Retirement - Appreciation HON GEOR(;E CASH (North Metropolitan - Leader of the Opposition) [3.33 pm] - by leave: i move, without notice - That following the retirement on 30 September 1989 of the Governor of Western Australia, Professor Gordon Reid, this House conveys its appreciation to Professor Gordon Reid and Mrs Ruth Reid for the outstanding service they have extended to the people of Western Australia during their term in viceregal office and for the gracious manner in which they have worked to protect and enhance the dignity and respect that the position of Governor should hold under our Westminster system of Parliament. I thank the House for granting me leave on this occasion. The reason I have moved this motion today is that it is the first day the Parliament has returned after a two week recess since the retirement of Professor Gordon Reid as Governor of Western Australia. Members will be aware that Professor Reid was appointed Governor of Western Australia in 1984 and retired on 30 September 1989. It is true that he has retired as a result of ill health, something that we have raised in this House before and about which I have spoken to wish him well in his recovery from his present illness. Professor Reid was a special person in the role of Governor of Western Australia. If we look at Governors this State has had in recent times, in general terms they were people who had been born overseas.

Sir Francis Forbes, first Chief Justice of NSW (1784-1841) Sir Francis Forbes was the first Chief Justice of New South Wales, appointed to oversee the reform of the administration of law and order in the colony of New South Wales, following the inquiry into the colony's affairs by Commissioner Bigge and Bigge’s subsequent reports of 1822 and 1823. Bigge's investigations began in 1819 following the far reaching changes made in the Colony by Governor Lachlan Macquarie. Before Forbes set up the court system in Australia, people were tried by legal tribunals. Bigge was keen to grant greater jurisdiction to the Local Courts which had previously been administered from England. In the early 1830s Sir Francis Forbes owned the only estate west of the Nepean River, at Emu Plains. Forbes was granted 120 acres at Emu Plains and also 2,560 acres in the Upper Hunter Valley. This land at Muswellbrook, was increased by purchase and used as a cattle run known as Skellatar (Skellater). Edinglassie, Emu Plains, by Conrad Martens 1835 The Edinglassie (or Edenglassie) land grant was at the southern end of Emu Plains, south of Jamison Creek, and upstream from the Emu Plains prison farm, being named after one of 1 HERITAGE May-June 2021 the Forbes family estates in Scotland.
