  • A 'Common-Sense Revolution'? the Transformation of the Melbourne City
    A ‘COMMON-SENSE REVOLUTION’? THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE MELBOURNE CITY COUNCIL, 1992−9 A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April, 2015 Angela G. Munro Faculty of Business, Government and Law Institute for Governance and Policy Analysis University of Canberra ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis is the culmination of almost fifty years’ interest professionally and as a citizen in local government. Like many Australians, I suspect, I had barely noticed it until I lived in England where I realised what unique attributes it offered, despite the different constitutional arrangements of which it was part. The research question of how the disempowerment and de-democratisation of the Melbourne City Council from 1992−9 was possible was a question with which I had wrestled, in practice, as a citizen during those years. My academic interest was piqued by the Mayor of Stockholm to whom I spoke on November 18, 1993, the day on which the Melbourne City Council was sacked. ‘That couldn’t happen here’, he said. I have found the project a herculean labour, since I recognised the need to go back to 1842 to track the institutional genealogy of the City Council’s development in the pre- history period to 1992 rather than a forensic examination of the seven year study period. I have been exceptionally fortunate to have been supervised by John Halligan, Professor of Public Administration at University of Canberra. An international authority in the field, Professor Halligan has published extensively on Australian systems of government including the capital cities and the Melbourne City Council in particular.

  • Imagereal Capture
    THE FOUNDATION OF THE MONASH LAW SCHOOL PETER BALMFORD* INTRODUCTION From 1853 to 1878, an Englishman named John Hughes Clayton practised as a solicitor in the City of Melbourne.' At the end of the working day, he was usually driven home by his coachman: a journey of about twelve miles to his property in a district known as "Old Dam~er".~In the course of time, the north-south road running past his property came to be called "Clayton's Road": the name was ultimately shortened to Clayton Road and from it derived the present name of the di~trict.~ Clayton had become a suburb of Melbourne long before 1958, when Mon- ash University was established by legislation of the Victorian Parliament.4 Nevertheless, the Interim Council of the new University was able to find there 250 acres of largely vacant land which it chose as the site on which to build.5 Sir John Monash (1865-1931), after whom the University was named, is celebrated as a soldier, as an engineer and as an administrator. He was a graduate of the University of Melbourne in Arts, Engineering and Law. He never practised as a barrister or solicitor, although, in the 1890s and the early years of the twentieth century, he appeared as an advocate in arbitrations on engineering disputes and frequently gave evidence as an expert witness in engineering and patent mattem6 This article gives an account of the foundation of the law school at Monash University, Clayton, in celebration of the twenty-five years of teaching which have now been completed.

    Situating Women Judges on the High Court of Australia: Not Just Men in Skirts? Kcasey McLoughlin BA (Hons) LLB (Hons) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, the University of Newcastle January 2016 Statement of Originality This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university or other tertiary institution and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference has been made in the text. I give consent to the final version of my thesis being made available worldwide when deposited in the University's Digital Repository, subject to the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968. Kcasey McLoughlin ii Acknowledgments I am most grateful to my principal supervisor, Jim Jose, for his unswerving patience, willingness to share his expertise and for the care and respect he has shown for my ideas. His belief in challenging disciplinary boundaries, and seemingly limitless generosity in mentoring others to do so has sustained me and this thesis. I am honoured to have been in receipt of his friendship, and owe him an enormous debt of gratitude for his unstinting support, assistance and encouragement. I am also grateful to my co-supervisor, Katherine Lindsay, for generously sharing her expertise in Constitutional Law and for fostering my interest in the High Court of Australia and the judges who sit on it. Her enthusiasm, very helpful advice and intellectual guidance were instrumental motivators in completing the thesis. The Faculty of Business and Law at the University of Newcastle has provided a supportive, collaborative and intellectual space to share and debate my research.

  • Part 5. the Battle of Bet Bet 1986-1988
    The New Dissenters The Renewal of Victorian Goldfields Agitation in the 20th Century Part Five The Battle of Bet Bet 1986-1988 The Battle of Bet Bet was about a local government placing a whole new layer of approvals and bonds on Miner’s Right Claims and Leases. It also tried to introduce a set of heritage overlays they effectively shut down the shire in respect of mining. It culminated a period of intense anti-mining ideology. Prior, in the years 1986 and 1987 there was a near unbelievable continuous inflow of argument and expectations about mining law, rights and amendments. This included intense activity from land protection groups and the government with its rapidly multiplying departments. The only people who did not go on the anti-mining attack were the small-scale gold miners, who found themselves continuously on the defensive against further restrictions and losses. Underlying and disguised by all of this chaos and regulatory tinkering was a new threat which appeared to be simply another review of mining. Stephen Barnham Copyright Stephen Barnham 2011 The author asserts the moral right to be identified as the author of this work, and owner of this intellectual property. DEDICATION To the previously unrecognised people who worked so hard to try and protect Victoria’s gold prospecting and small-scale gold mining heritage and those who realise the importance of understanding your own history. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS John’s wife Nola Winter who had the foresight not to throw out numerous documents when John Winter died. Anne Doran who carefully saved mining related Central Victorian newspaper articles and typed many letters for Frank Kopacka.
