PREFACE In the following study I have attempted to give some account of the political and industrial organisation of the Labour Movement in Australia during the last twenty years. In that period Labour organisation has achieved in Australia a degree of formal perfection and a series of political triumphs which have not been equalled in any other land; the lessons learnt in that period will, I hope, be of value to Labour not only in Australia but in other Anglo-Saxon lands. I have limited the scope of my study by the year 1921, both because from that time Labour passes into a new period of transition, the substantial tendencies of which are still obscure, and because my personal association with a Labour Government, as private secretary to the late John Storey, Premier of N.S.W., would make any revelation of the inner history of that period without a breach of confidence difficult. I have assumed without criticism the hyphothesis that the present organisation of society involves some sort of exploitation and enslavement of the workers, and that the object of a Labour Movement as such must be to bring about such an alteration in social structure as shall end this. This seems to me the essential presupposition of a Labour Party or Trade Union as distinguished from a Radical- Liberal Party or a Friendly Society. But the adoption of this standpoint for expository purposes must not be taken to imply my personal acceptance of the theory in question. On the other hand the results of this book and the sequel, which I hope to publish subsequently on the work of Labour Governments, may be regarded as the most serious criticism of that whole position.

CHAPTER IV.-- THE POSITION OF THE INDUSTRIALISTS IN THE POLITICAL LABOUR MOVEMENT. .. The Labour Parties, though founded by and for trades unionists, admitted PP.54- other classes to membership -- Contests between the sections -- Failure of 72 Labour Governments to pass industrial legislation leads to the secret organisation of an “industrial section”, which captures and controls Conference -- The section becomes a machine for securing seats for unionists -- Corrupt practices veiled by championship of industrialism.

  • DA 1/2015 in the Matter Between: HOSPERSA OBO TS TSHAMBI
    IN THE LABOUR APPEAL COURT OF SOUTH AFRICA, DURBAN Reportable Case no: DA 1/2015 In the matter between: HOSPERSA OBO TS TSHAMBI Appellant and DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, KWAZULU –NATAL Respondent Heard: 25 February 2016 Delivered: 24 March 2016 Summary: Section 24 of the LRA provides for arbitration of disputes about the ‘interpretation or application’ of collective agreements– interpretation of – section provides for a dispute resolution device ancillary to collective bargaining, not to be used to remedy an unfair labour practice under pretext that a term of a collective agreement has been breached. The phrase ‘interpretation or application’ is not to be read disjunctively – the ‘enforcement’ of the terms of a collective agreement is a process which follows on a positive finding about ‘application’ not a facet of ‘application’. A dispute about an employer’s failure to pay an employee during period of suspension pending a disciplinary enquiry is, properly characterised, an unfair labour practice about unfair suspension as contemplated in section 186(2) (b) of the LRA. 2 An arbitrator must characterise a dispute objectively, not slavishly defer to the parties’ subjective characterisation- failure to do so is an irregularity. The determination of what constitutes a reasonable time within which to refer a dispute when no fixed period is prescribed for that category of dispute, such as a section 24 dispute, is a fact-specific enquiry having regard to the dynamics of labour relations considerations – where for example the dispute may be understood as a money claim, the prescription laws are irrelevant. Labour court reviewing and setting aside award in which arbitrator deferred to an incorrect characterisation of a dispute and ordering the matter to be heard afresh upheld and appeal against order dismissed.

  • Edmund Barton and the 1897 Federal Convention
    The Art of Consensus: Edmund Barton and the 1897 Federal Convention The Art of Consensus: Edmund Barton and the 1897 Federal Convention* Geoffrey Bolton dmund Barton first entered my life at the Port Hotel, Derby on the evening of Saturday, E13 September 1952. As a very young postgraduate I was spending three months in the Kimberley district of Western Australia researching the history of the pastoral industry. Being at a loose end that evening I went to the bar to see if I could find some old-timer with an interesting store of yarns. I soon found my old-timer. He was a leathery, weather-beaten station cook, seventy-three years of age; Russel Ward would have been proud of him. I sipped my beer, and he drained his creme-de-menthe from five-ounce glasses, and presently he said: ‘Do you know what was the greatest moment of my life?’ ‘No’, I said, ‘but I’d like to hear’; I expected to hear some epic of droving, or possibly an anecdote of Gallipoli or the Somme. But he answered: ‘When I was eighteen years old I was kitchen-boy at Petty’s Hotel in Sydney when the federal convention was on. And every evening Edmund Barton would bring some of the delegates around to have dinner and talk about things. I seen them all: Deakin, Reid, Forrest, I seen them all. But the prince of them all was Edmund Barton.’ It struck me then as remarkable that such an archetypal bushie, should be so admiring of an essentially urban, middle-class lawyer such as Barton.

  • George Turner: Australia’S First Treasurer
    George Turner: Australia’s first treasurer John Hawkins1 The following article is the first in a series of biographies of Australia’s federal treasurers. George Turner, a former Victorian treasurer and premier, was Australia’s first treasurer, and despite battling ill-health brought down the first four federal budgets. He was a cautious treasurer whose budgets were balanced, and he limited federal expenditure. Revenue was raised from somewhat protectionist tariffs, and most of it was redistributed to the states. Turner was so widely respected for his diligence and competence that the leaders of all three major parties of the time reputedly offered him the post of treasurer. 1 The author is from Domestic Economy Division, the Australian Treasury. Comments and support from Amy Burke, Steven Kennedy and Carol Murphy are appreciated. The views in this article are those of the author and not necessarily those of the Australian Treasury. 59 George Turner: Australia’s first treasurer Introduction The Right Honourable Sir George Turner, PC, KCMG, was Australia’s first treasurer, and brought down the first four federal budgets.2 Manning Clark said of him that ‘balancing the books was his great passion in life’.3 This made him an ideal choice for the job of treasurer, at a time when it was more of an accounting role than an economic one. Competent rather than charismatic, he was so admired for being ‘hardworking, conscientious and reliable’4 that all the party leaders and prime ministers of the time (the Protectionists Barton and Deakin, the Free Trader Reid and Labor’s Watson) reputedly offered him the job as treasurer.

  • 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.
