The first edition of the Parliamentary Handbook was published in 1922 and together the succeeding volumes represent one of the best historical record of any Parliament in Australia. In this edition a significant restructure of the Handbook has taken place in an effort to improve usability for the reader. The staff of both Houses of Parliament have done an enormous amount of work to restructure this volume for easier reference which has resulted in a more accurate, reliable and internally consistent body of work.

  • MP362 Gardiner J P.PDF
    House to House An MP Goes Breathing Space for In all respects the period from the 1910 debate, with all the absurdity that that episode unearthed, right through to the mid-1930s, was one of marking time for Parliament House in Western Australia. Ten governments had come and gone in a twenty-six year period, six of them conservative administrations and four led by Labor premiers with a smooth transition from one Labor Premier to another in 1936. It is true that, at times, there were periods of peace and plenty, and prior to 1914 a variety of economic indices-railway expansion, wheat and flour production and population growth to name some-showed impressive if not spectacular advances for the people of the small state. Yet if economic progress was unspectacular the State and its Parliament were but a short step away from an extraordinary incident in 1915 that was ever a reminder that in a parliamentary democracy human frailty was rarely far from lofty issues of state. The incident came in the form of the downfall and reported disappearance that year of the sitting member for Roebourne, J.P. (Joe) Gardiner, a young Labor MP, union secretary and hotel manager, who had been elected only four years before when he was all of twenty-five. The disappearance was to end Gardiner's personal political career but it was to have even more serious consequences for the Scaddan Labor Government of which he was a part. For within ten months of Gardiner's seat being declared vacant on 30 September 1915 for non­ attendance, Scaddan's government was to fall by vote of the House rather than the vote of the people.

  • Thesis Whole Copy
    Place and Power: A History of Maternity Service Provision in Western Australia, 1829-1950 Briony McKenzie B.A. History, Hons. This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2015. ii Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. …………………………… Candidate iii Abstract The nature and provision of maternity services is shaped by many different factors including location and time period. This thesis is a historical study of Western Australia’s maternity services during the period 1829 to 1950. It examines the influence of the medical profession, the state, midwives and women themselves in bringing about important changes to the provision of these services. The study adopts a post-revisionist feminist approach which prioritises the voices of women both as mothers and as midwives. In doing so, it questions established traditional understandings of the quality of the midwifery services offered in WA during the pioneering period and highlights the ways in which medical practitioners and governments undermined empirically-trained midwives and brought about greater state control of their activities. In this analysis, birth in the past is ‘re-normalised’ through an exploration of what birthing may have been like for everyday women and the home is reimagined as a safe and comfortable birthing place. This study further explores important themes which have relevance to maternity care in the contemporary context. It investigates the changing location of birth and the power structures that influenced women’s experiences in different birth locations in the past.
