Foreword During the opening ceremony for the Sydney Building in December 1927 Prime Minister Bruce prophetically noted that ‘few of us have the imagination to see what will happen in this city in the next 50 or 100 years’. The Walter Burley and Marion Mahony Griffin original design for Canberra assumed a population of 75,000, yet in 2013 the population is 367,000. Through periods of war and depression, and particularly since 1958, the Territory has grown beyond anything that was envisaged when it was first established in 1911. Government Records about the Australian Capital Territory tells the story of the administration of Canberra and Territory over the last 100 years. The National Archives of Australia and ArchivesACT have been delighted to work together to produce this research guide to mark the centenary of the naming of Canberra as the national capital. Both institutions hold fascinating collections documenting the history of the Commonwealth and Territory governments and their interaction with the people of the ACT. Government Records about the Australian Capital Territory draws extensively on records held not only by the National Archives and ArchivesACT, but also other collecting institutions such as the Australian National University Archives, ACT Heritage Library and National Library of Australia. Structured according to functions that are essentially the responsibility of the Australian Government or the ACT Government, this publication primarily draws together records from two separate institutions and uses them to present one consolidated history of the ACT. Diverse, and sometimes surprising, topics are covered, from Federation, early administration and the national capital’s iconic buildings, through to bus shelters, the arts and public gardens. A rich and informative publication, it will also highlight areas for further research. We commend and thank Ted Ling and all others involved in the development of this research guide. It is an invaluable research tool showcasing and consolidating archival records relating to the ACT and its people.

The Heritage Strategy will be reviewed during 2012 in parallel with the endorsement of this plan. The Policies in this plan support the directions of the Heritage Strategy, and indicate the objectives for identification, protection, conservation, presentation and transmission to all generations of the Commonwealth Heritage values of the place.

    Canberra is recognised as one of the world’s most successful examples of planned city development. In sixty years it has grown from a collection of surveyors’ tents to Australia’s largest inland city. Because it has developed so rapidly most of Canberra’s 200,000 citizens were born elsewhere. This book attempts to capture some aspects of life in Canberra — the buildings, the seasons, people at work and play, the countryside — so that residents of the national capital can give an impression of its moods and lifestyle to relatives and friends far away.

  • Australian Labor Party, New South Wales Branch Annual Conference, 26 March – 7 April 1921
    CHAPTER 5 Australian Labor Party, New South Wales Branch Annual Conference, 26 March – 7 April 1921 Report in The Australian Worker There is a sense of déja vù in this account of the 1921 Conference, in that the dominant division within the party was once again between the State Executive representing the extra‐parliamentary sections of the party and the MPs, especially Premier Storey and his successor, Premier Dooley. An attempt by the Executive to assert its right to direct Caucus on parlia‐ mentary issues (including, once more, appointments to the Upper House) resulted in tough negotiations between Executive and Caucus, with a points victory to Caucus. This was documented in the Executive Report and discussed again on the floor of Conference. This was only the beginning of that particular battle, since in the following year, after the defeat of Labor in the 1922 NSW election, the Executive expelled the leader of the parliamentary party, James Dooley, setting off a period of intensified factional chaos. As in previous years the correspondent for the Australian Worker presented his material in a fairly disorganised way, although there is a preference for telescoping debate on a similar theme even if it extended over various days. It is possible to get a strict chronological account by comparing it with the day‐by‐day reports in the Daily Telegraph or the Sydney Morning Herald, which are otherwise much briefer. In this instance I have preferred to indicate the day of debate when there is a clear break in the account, and divide the text according to the separate reports in successive editions of the Australian Worker.
