  • Whitlam As Internationalist: a Centenary Reflection
    WHITLAM AS INTERNATIONALIST: A CENTENARY REFLECTION T HE HON MICHAEL KIRBY AC CMG* Edward Gough Whitlam, the 21st Prime Minister of Australia, was born in July 1916. This year is the centenary of his birth. It follows closely on his death in October 2014 when his achievements, including in the law, were widely debated. In this article, the author reviews Whitlam’s particular interest in international law and relations. It outlines the many treaties that were ratified by the Whitlam government, following a long period of comparative disengagement by Australia from international treaty law. The range, variety and significance of the treaties are noted as is Whitlam’s attraction to treaties as a potential source of constitutional power for the enactment of federal laws by the Australian Parliament. This article also reviews Whitlam’s role in the conduct of international relations with Australia’s neighbours, notably the People’s Republic of China, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and Indochina. The reconfiguration of geopolitical arrangements is noted as is the close engagement with the United Nations, its agencies and multilateralism. Whilst mistakes by Whitlam and his government are acknowledged, his strong emphasis on international law, and treaty law in particular, was timely. It became a signature theme of his government and life.

  • University of Canberra Patrick Mullins Quick Books, Quick Manoeuvres
    Mullins Quick books, quick manoeuvres University of Canberra Patrick Mullins Quick books, quick manoeuvres: Disentangling the dangers and opportunities of the quickie political biography Abstract: The publication of the biography of the political leader is de rigueur in the Australian electoral cycle. Characterised by their haste of production, by their regurgitation of already-published articles, and by a liberal use of quotes attributed and not, such books are often ephemeral confections, destined for the dustbin whether their subject is successful or not (Blewett, 2007). But the political quickie is, on closer inspection, a mix of competing opportunities and dangers that belie its negative description. When considered, the quickie is revealing of the uses of biographical writing to perform, connect, and manoeuvre within a political context. Biographical note: Patrick Mullins is a PhD candidate at the University of Canberra. Keywords: Biography – Life Writing – Political Subject – Journalism 1 Mullins Quick books, quick manoeuvres Two biographies of Kevin Rudd were commissioned within days of his becoming leader of the Australian Labor Party in December 2006. Upon their near-simultaneous publication in June 2007, Neal Blewett characterised the texts as the latest examples in a long line of ‘quickies’: They have roughly the shelf life of homogenised cheese and are almost certainly destined for that knacker’s yard for books – the remainder store – regardless of whether their subject is successful or not […] These books are hastily compiled confections: a regurgitation of published articles on the subject’s career […] plus a dollop of his speeches and writings, mixed together with a heady collection of quotes from colleagues and associates, frequently unattributed.

  • Saving the Nation's Memory Bank an Open Letter to the Prime Minister
    Saving the Nation’s Memory Bank An Open Letter to the Prime Minister We write as friends and supporters of the National Archives of Australia. Some of us are historians, including multiple winners of Prime Minister’s Awards, some are independent writers and researchers, and some are former members of the National Archives Advisory Council. We have differing political viewpoints but share a deep love for the knowledge of Australia’s past embodied in its archives and libraries. We are writing to you because we fear that the integrity of the nation’s premier memory bank, the National Archives of Australia, is in jeopardy and to urge you to secure its future. As the institution created by parliament to maintain the official records of the Commonwealth, the National Archives is one of the pillars of our democracy. It makes decision-making more transparent. It holds governments, past and present, to account. And in the words of Justice Michael Kirby, it ‘holds up a mirror to the people of Australia’. In this respect, the National Archives is not like other cultural institutions, such as museums, galleries and opera houses. Its most important users have yet to be born. The value of many items in its collection may not become apparent for many years because we simply do not know what questions future inquirers may ask. Only in recent years, for example, have researchers begun to tap the riches of the National Archives’ repatriation records, the largest continuous record of the health of any people anywhere, for medical as well as historical research.

  • Do Former Prime Ministers Wield Influence After They Leave Office?
    Do former prime ministers wield influence after they leave office? A report drafted for The Australian Prime Ministers Centre, Museum of Australian Democracy Old Parliament House Katherine Ring An Intern with the Australian National Internships Program 20th October 2014 Executive Summary This report aims to examine whether, and to what extent, former Australian prime ministers continue to wield influence after they have left office. The research aims to make headway in to an area of prime ministerial study that has only been minimally scoped to this day, and to attempt to draw tentative conclusions about what influence ex-prime ministers might be expected to wield in future decades. This research has examined a combination of primary source materials (letters, speeches, contemporary news articles), and secondary sources (autobiographies, biographies, recent journalism and academic articles), and has discovered that former prime ministers often continue to contribute to public life in three key ways: through connections with serving parliamentarians, activities and appointments, and political commentary. Not only is this contribution well received by the Australian public, the forms of influence exerted by former leaders are continuing to expand over time. 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank the Director and Program Administrator of the Australian National Internships Program, Dr. Marshall Clark, and Patricia Oxborrow, for their ongoing support and guidance. Special thanks go to all the staff at the Australian Prime Ministers Centre, members of the Network of Prime Ministerial Research and Collecting Agencies, and APMC Honorary Fellows Dr Norman Abjorensen and Dr Auriol Weigold, for their extraordinary help during the formulation and research phases of this project.
