Uncorrected Hansard Proof: Available to Authorised Persons Only. 2 Tuesday 11 April 2000 Legislative Council The Hon. M. R. EGAN: I sometimes wonder when I look at you. I am still waiting for that ALP application form to come back. A few members say they will leave the Labor Party if you join it. The trouble is that those who promise to go if you come are my mates, so you will just have to stay where you are. [Interruption] The Hon. M. R. EGAN: You potential rat. You stay there. The Hon. C. J. S. Lynn: Point of order: That is a most unparliamentary term. The Treasurer should not talk about my esteemed colleague the Hon. Dr B. P. V. Pezzutti in those terms. The Hon. M. R. EGAN: I withdraw the word "potential". The Hon. D. J. Gay: To the point of order: On numerous occasions, Madam President, you have ruled the term "rat" to be unparliamentary. The PRESIDENT: Order! I thank the honourable member for his help. I must say that I thought you said "prat". The Hon. Dr B. P. V. Pezzutti: To the point of order: Madam President, I ask you to withdraw that witticism. I find that more inflammatory than the words used by the Treasurer. The PRESIDENT: Order! A word of explanation. We have been trying to save money in this Chamber by not putting in a rather expensive loudspeaker so that I can actually hear properly. However, I really did believe that he had called you a prat. So it was because we are trying to save money. But I am told that in the Easter recess the loudspeaker will be put in and I will be able to hear you all better. It is because I have been trying to convince people, especially those speaking from the lower microphone, that they have to refrain from mumbling. <2> The Hon. Dr B. P. V. Pezzutti: Point of order: Madam President, I ask you to withdraw that statement. You are in no different position from any other member of the House

His wife Mairi and stepdaughter Natalie were with him. George had been hospitalised for eight days, with complications arising from his cardiovascular system. During these days he had the constant care of family, friends, and the excellent hospital staff. With their company and comfort, he faded away without pain on 28 March 2000.

  • Factions and Fractions: a Case Study of Power Politics in the Australian Labor Party
    Australian Journal of Political Science, Vol. 35, No. 3, pp. 427– 448 Factions and Fractions: A Case Study of Power Politics in the Australian Labor Party ANDREW LEIGH Of ce of the Shadow Minister for Trade, Canberra Over the past three decades, factions have cemented their hold over the Australian Labor Party. This has largely been due to the entrenchment of the proportional representation of factions. One of the effects of the institutionalisa- tion of factions has been the development of factional sub-groupings (‘frac- tions’). This article analyses the phenomenon by looking at a case study of a single ALP faction—the Left in New South Wales. Since 1971, two major fractions have developed in the NSW Left, based on ideological disagreements, personality con icts, generational differences and arguments over the role of the union movement in the ALP. This development parallels the intra-factional splits that have occurred in many other sections of the Labor Party. Yet the factional system in the 1980s and 1990s operated relatively effectively as a means of managing power. The question now is whether it can survive the challenge of new issues that cross-cut traditional ideological lines. Introduction Factionalism in the Australian Labor Party (ALP) is a phenomenon much remarked upon, but little analysed. Like the role of the Ma a in Italian politics, few outside the system seem to understand the power networks, whilst few inside are prepared to share their thoughts with the outside world. Yet without understanding factions, it is impossible to properly comprehend the Labor Party. Every organisation, and certainly every political party, contains organised power groupings.

  • Zabala Gabriela Sylvia Arts and Media Phd English the Politics of Drama
    PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Zabala First name: Gabriela Other name/s: Sylvia Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Arts and Media Faculty: English Title: The politics of drama Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) One of the longest running theatre companies in Australia, New Theatre began life as the Workers' Art Club in Sydney in 1932 as a Communist Party of Australia initiative. It was one of the first theatres in Australia with an orientation to working class audiences. By 1936 it had become the New Theatre and by the 1950s there were, in addition to Sydney, New Theatres in Adelaide, Melbourne, Western Australia, Newcastle and Brisbane. The New Theatre movement's social mission was inextricably linked to the political perspectives of the Communist Party of Australia which were influenced by ideas and theories of socialist realism and proletarian culture that had been decreed by Zhdanov in 1934 in the Soviet Union. Of particular interest to New Theatre were the innovations in theatre such as agit-prop and dramatic reportage typical of workers' theatre in the Soviet Union and the United States. This thesis demonstrates how the party's prescriptive views on art and literature often found expression in the plays of New Theatre writers Oriel Gray, Betty Roland and Mona Brand. It will demonstrate that in order to prevent ideological heterodoxy within New Theatre, management and production committees were comprised solely of Communist Party members, whose work for New Theatre constituted their work for the Communist Party of Australia.
