  • Why Has Soccer Not Become the Code of Football in Australia
    Deakin Research Online Deakin University’s institutional research repository DDeakin Research Online Research Online This is the authors final peer reviewed version of the item published as: Hay, Roy 2006-04, Our wicked foreign game : why has association football (Soccer) not became the main code of football in Australia?, Soccer and society, vol. 7, no. 2-3, pp. 165-186. Copyright : 2006, Taylor & Francis ..‘Our wicked foreign game’: Why has Association Football (soccer) not become the main code of football in Australia?∗ Roy Hay Sports and Editorial Services Australia Introduction Soccer, ‘our wicked foreign game’, is not the main code of football in any state in Australia, but it is probably the second in most states if measured by spectator attendance or participation.1 In Victoria, Australian rules is number one, while in New South Wales, rugby league is the dominant code. The phenomenon is not unique to Australia. None of the white dominions of the old British Empire nor the former British colony the United States has soccer as its main code, with the exception of South Africa where the non-white population has taken up Association Football.2 In most of these countries soccer is characterised as a migrants’ game, even though many of the migrants playing or watching the game are of second or later generations. Explanations for the secondary position of soccer in Australia ought therefore to be compared with those for these other countries, and if we seek a comprehensive explanation of this phenomenon then the Australian story ought not to vary too much from those applied to the others, unless it can be clearly shown that Australian experience and conditions were indeed different.3 This article concentrates on the domestic experience in Australia, with a view to introducing and outlining some of the issues which might be drawn into an effective international comparison.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL - Wednesday, 28 November 2001] P5953b-5960A Hon Peter Foss; Hon Frank Hough
    Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL - Wednesday, 28 November 2001] p5953b-5960a Hon Peter Foss; Hon Frank Hough ELECTORAL AMENDMENT BILL 2001 Second Reading Resumed from 26 September. HON PETER FOSS (East Metropolitan) [4.10 pm]: It is fortuitous that you read that statement and the letter from the Clerk of the House, Mr President, because I intended to commence my speech by raising an entirely different reason that the Bill requires an absolute majority - one that was not canvassed by the Standing Committee on Legislation. It is important that you are here because I believe that you have no alternative but to rule at the second reading stage. As you are aware, Mr President, two items are on the Notice Paper: the Electoral Amendment Bill 2001 and the Electoral Distribution Repeal Bill 2001. It has sometimes struck people as curious that two Bills are on the Notice Paper. We suspected that that was to circumvent the requirements of the Electoral Distribution Act. I suggest that the introduction of these two Bills has become a complete mess-up, but a stronger phrase than mess-up would be appropriate and I will explain why. They are two separate Bills. There is nothing to say that either of them will be passed into law. You must deal only with the Electoral Amendment Bill 2001, Mr President, not the Electoral Distribution Repeal Bill. The amending Bill makes no reference whatsoever to the Electoral Distribution Act. It happens to deal with exactly the same measures as the other Bill; therefore, this Bill operates one way or another to affect the Electoral Distribution Act.
