  • John Mcpherson, Collingwood 29 June 2009 Mr R Willis, Secretary
    John McPherson, Collingwood 29 June 2009 Mr R Willis, Secretary, Council Committees, Legislative Council, Parliament House Melbourne Victoria 3002 To the Members of the Select Committee on Train Services: Terms of Reference: “To inquire into the factors leading to and causes of failures in the provision of metropolitan and V/line train services.” As an interested observer of Melbourne’s public transport performance for nearly 40 years and as an active member of the Public Transport Users Association (with some years as vice-president), I propose to make limited comments on a defined range of issues that I believe are relevant to the committee’s remit. My main relevant qualification is a Bachelors Degree in Economics, majoring in transport economics. Institutional Factors Affecting Train Service Provision: Organisational Model Melbourne has imported somewhat dubious expertise from the UK, which is the home of the ‘franchise’ model of public transport operation. All other state capital rail systems have remained state-run in the decade that has passed. At each change in the make-up of the franchisees, alterations have been made to attempt improvement in the operation of the model. The model has survived as it pleases the economic rationalist tendencies of both senior bureaucrats and politicians (similarly in the UK), not because it has been effective in supplying the basics of good public transport. In fact, investigation by a former colleague at the PTUA, Dr Paul Mees of RMIT (see his submission, as my views are not dissimilar) shows that arms-length operation is easily twice as expensive as keeping operations in-house.

MINISTRY FOR PLANNING AND ENVJRONMENT LIBRARY Introduction This report deals with a modern phenomenon­ urbanisation of life on a scale not previously known. It is 200 years since Captain James Cook discovered the east coast of Australia. There were no cities in Australia then. What has since happened in our country is written into our history and it is a fascinating story. What will happen in the next 200 years will depend a great deal on all of us alive today-by that time everyone of us will be part of Australia's history. When man began his civilising process, urbanisation also began. The production of a surplus food supply introduced a new form of community life; an administrative centre was now possible and this was the embryo of the city. And so it went on over the centuries until the Industrial Revolution caused a great upward surge io the development of the modem city. However, by the end of the 19th century only eleven cities around the world had more than one milJion inhabitants; well before the end of the 20th century-indeed in 1985, the design year of the Plan-it is estimated that Melbourne will have a population of 3 · 7 million people.

  • The VIC RAIL Asbestos Dispute John Benson* This Article Examines the VJC RAIL Asbestos Dispute Which Took Place in Victoria, Australia During 19 77-78
    New Zealand Journal of Industrial Relations, 1981,6 57-65 Union involvement in health issues: The VIC RAIL Asbestos Dispute John Benson* This article examines the VJC RAIL Asbestos Dispute which took place in Victoria, Australia during 19 77-78. The dispute was significant in that the general awar:eness gener­ ated by the union campaign and the publicity given by the media, was instrumental in securing workers' demands. It also illustrated the need for workers and union officials to carefully assess the dange.rs present on the job; a task that cannot be left solely to manage­ ment or the government. Introduction In Australia, as in most west,em countries, the issues of occupational health and safety have been sadly neglected. The reasons for this are varied but in general stem from the feel­ ing that injuries were accidents of fate 1 and this, coupled with inadequate statistics, led to a tacit acceptance of the problem. The ·effect has been for our society to view industrial health in terms of the ability of employees to continue in the production process {Dreitzel, i 971 ), w_ith the result that empl~yers .only considered safeguards when the viability of the business undertaking was seriously t};ueateiled. Unions also had been preoccupied with economic concerns and regarded safety issues as peripheral to their traditional concern with wages and conditions. When .safety issues did arise the emphasis was on "'dirt money" or compensation, rather than the prevention or reduction of risk. Given the attitude of employers and unions towards occupational health and safety, goverrunents saw fit only to enact the minimum of legislation.
