  • Long-Running Drama in Theatre of Public Shame
    ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Long-running drama in theatre of public shame MP Daryl Maguire and NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian in Wagga in 2017. Tom Dusevic OCTOBER 16, 2020 The British have epic soap Coronation Street. Latin Americans crave their telenovelas. The people of NSW must settle for the Independent Commission Against Corruption and its popular offshoot, Keeping Up with the Spivs. The current season is one of the most absorbing: bush huckster Daz Kickback ensnares Gladys Prim in his scams. At week’s end, our heroine is tied to railroad tracks as a steaming locomotive rounds the bend. Stay tuned. In recent years the public has heard allegations of Aldi bags stuffed with cash and delivered to NSW Labor’s Sussex Street HQ by Chinese property developer Huang Xiangmo. In 2013 corruption findings were made against former Labor ministers Eddie Obeid and Ian Macdonald. The following year, Liberal premier Barry O’Farrell resigned after ICAC obtained a handwritten note that contradicted his claims he did not receive a $3000 bottle of Grange from the head of Australian Water Holdings, a company linked to the Obeids. The same year ICAC’s Operation Spicer investigated allegations NSW Liberals used associated entities to disguise donations from donors banned in the state, such as property developers. Ten MPs either went to the crossbench or quit politics. ICAC later found nine Liberal MPs acted with the intention of evading electoral funding laws, with larceny charges recommended against one. Years earlier there was the sex-for- development scandal, set around the “Table of Knowledge” at a kebab shop where developers met officials from Wollongong council.

Sydney’s “regionalism” has historical peculiarities as the “founding city” of the nation. Sydney always looked to the Mother Country, UK, and its colonial “off-shoots: in Tasmania, Victoria, New Zealand and Queensland, and through them to the Pacific Islands in the South West Pacific. NSW was predominantly Free Trade in persepective rather than Protectionist as in Victoria. 3) Political Parties in New South Wales: The ALP – since Sir William McKell MP, Premier 1941-47 a) McKell to Renshaw - Premiers 1941-65 b) Wran and Unsworth – Premiers 1976-88 c) Carr to Keneally – Premiers 1995-2011 The Liberal Party – since Sir Robert Askin MP, Premier 1965-75 a) Pre WW11 – Bertram Stevens 1932-39 b) The Bob Askin years - a decade of alleged “corruption”. c) Greiner and Fahey – 1988-1995 4) Barry O’Farrell – State Leader of the Opposition: a) Comment by Nick Greiner: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/opinion/election-is-the-only-opinion-poll-that- matters/story-e6frg6zo-1225869365983 b) The Rudd/Abbott contest for PM -2010 c) Three/four terms of ‘Good” Liberal Party Government – 2011/27 5) ACCCI Interests a) NSW is “in” the Trade Business – Ministry for Foreign Economic Relations b) Greater Sydney as a World City – one Mayor, many Deputies.

  • Neville Wran. Australian Biographical Monographs No. 5, by David Clune
    158 Neville Wran. Australian Biographical Monographs No. 5, by David Clune. Cleveland (Qld): Connor Court Publishing, 2020. pp. 80, Paperback RRP $19.95 ISBN: 9781922449092 Elaine Thompson Former Associate Professor, University of New South Wales. It’s been many years since I’ve thought about Neville Wran, so I came to this monograph with an oPen mind, limited by two Personal judgements. The first was the belief that Wran was a giant of his time, a real leader and moderniser. The second was the tragedy (farce) of his last years. It was a reminder to us all that there are no guarantees that a great life will be rewarded with a kind death: for Neville Wran that was certainly not the case. Luckily, now with time we remember his leadershiP, his modernising Policies and his largely successful ability to dominate an extraordinarily Powerful Political Party with its deeP factions. David Clune’s monograph, through the use of first-hand materials and comments from Wran’s colleagues, takes us through Wran’s rise to Power, his successes as Premier and his fall via the web of corruPtion and scandal that ended his Premiership. Clune’s narrative is clear and remarkably free of value-judgements. It reminds us just how moribund the Politics and Parliament of NSW were at the time leading uP to Wran’s Government and of all the talent Wran brought with him, which transformed NSW Politics, Policy and Parliament. Of course, there were failures; things left incomPlete and the embedded corruPt culture of NSW Politics largely ignored. Nonetheless, in this monograph we gain a Picture of an extraordinary man leading Australia (via NSW) into the modern era.
