  • I Should Say, at the Outset of This Function on the Senate Side Of
    I should say, at the outset of this function on the Senate side of Parliament House, that my subject today—former Tasmanian premier and Australian prime minister Joseph Lyons—was not all that enamoured with upper houses for much of his political career. As a Labor premier of Tasmania, he stood up to the Tasmanian Legislative Council in the 1920s over its financial powers. On a couple of occasions he even managed to by- pass the Council entirely. (How many prime ministers would like to be able to do that these days?) As well, during Lyons’ first two years as a federal minister in the Scullin Government, he faced strong opposition from the Nationalist Party dominated Senate. But then Joseph Lyons moved to stand with the conservatives in 1931. Thereafter, upper houses became more to his liking. Of course—that’s a long time ago and upper houses today cannot be relied upon so easily to reflect the conservative side of politics. As we know well … I am here to discuss one of Australia’s longest serving and most popular prime ministers. And, yet, it has taken some seventy years to get to a point of acknowledging this in the national record. As I discovered on researching his biography, Lyons has been shoved off to some remote region of forgetfulness— thought of as a prime minister who achieved little and was merely used by stronger forces to win elections. This legacy has stalked the memory of J. A. Lyons—as he was wont to sign on documents. Yet, nothing could be further from the truth.

  • Recognizing Women in the Church
    Recognizing Women in the Church Anne Henderson Author and Deputy Director Sydney Institute Address to the St. Thomas More Forum 7 September 2011 Thank you Bill, and the St Thomas More Forum, for the invitation to speak here tonight. Perhaps the first woman of faith I should be recognising tonight is journalist Angela Shanahan, who started this forum with a handful of others a few years back. As someone who has helped to run a Sydney forum – The Sydney Institute – for 23 years, I know how hard these activities are to maintain. So, well done. We probably all remember learning about the theological virtues at one time or another. The three great virtues – faith, hope and charity, or love as it is now more often called. We may also have been told that the greatest of these virtues is “love”. But today it’s not love per se I am going to focus on, but the first of the virtues – faith. And in many ways it is faith that leads to the other two. On a very material level, faith seems to be all around us these days with the coming of the carbon tax – a faith in the ranks of Labor that has possibly now moved more into the realms of “hope”– hope that imposition of a carbon tax in Australia will work out and that the government’s faith in its new policy direction will soon enough be accepted by a majority of Australians. We shall watch with interest at this exposition of one – if not two – of the great theological virtues.

  • Recognition for Two Doyens of Intellectual Leadership
    Media Release 07/10/20 Recognition for two doyens of intellectual leadership Gerard and Anne Henderson have been recognised with honorary doctorates from Australian Catholic University (ACU) for their influence on how Australian history and contemporary public policy issues are understood and debated. The award, presented by ACU Vice-Chancellor Professor Greg Craven AO GSGC, in a small ceremony in Sydney on Tuesday 6 October 2020, honours the Hendersons’ contribution to Australian history, public affairs and civil discourse. The Hendersons’ establishment and work with The Sydney Institute, and their involvement in public debate through other media outlets, has allowed Australians to understand some of the great people who have shaped our story and their legacy. Born and educated in Melbourne, Dr Gerard Henderson began his academic career with a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Laws at the University of Melbourne, and a Doctor of Philosophy from La Trobe University, where he subsequently worked in the Politics Department and the Department of Political Science, then as a teacher and scholar at the University of Tasmania. Outside of academia, Dr Henderson’s career has seen him work extensively in politics and governance. He held the position of private secretary to the Hon. Kevin Newman and later was senior private secretary to the Hon. John Howard MP. Dr Henderson has also served with the Commonwealth Department of Employment and Industrial Relations. His political activities have involved participation in the Australia 2020 Summit in 2008 and the Australian History Summit in 2006. Also a Melbourne native, Anne Henderson has long played a role in the education of young Australians and refugees.

  • 2011 Vocational Service Award
    Vocational Service Award This week we present the Vocational Services Award to Anne Henderson and Gerard Henderson. These two outstanding candidates were selected from a strong field and on this occasion, two people are to receive the 2011 award. Anne Henderson is Deputy Director of The Sydney Institute, edits The Sydney Papers and co-edits The Sydney Institute Quarterly. She is the author of a number 7 Jun of non fiction books including From All Corners: Six Migrant Stories , Getting Even: Women MPs on Life, Power and Politics, and An Angel in The Court – The Life of 2011 Major Joyce Harmer. In 2008, she published a biography of Dame Enid Lyons, Enid Lyons – Leading Lady to a Nation (Pluto Press). Among her essays of note are “Dad’s Wake” in Fathers: In Writing and the biographical chapter on Prime Minister Joe Lyons for Australian Prime Ministers (ed Michelle Grattan) and the UK’s New Dictionary of National Biography (OUP). Gerard Henderson is executive director of The Sydney Institute, a forum for debate and discussion on a range of topics. He became a columnist initially for The Australian (1987-1989) and in 1990 for the Sydney Morning Herald and has filed his column every week since then. Over the past two years, Gerard Henderson’s Media Watch Dog blog has come out on Fridays (after lunch) with a little help from his canine Nancy. The blog is devoted to upsetting as many media types as possible (especially leftist sandal-wearers) and to shaming Bob Ellis into paying the remaining $500 he owes the author for failed punditry.
