Book Notes: the Sesquicentenary Committee
BOOK NOTES By David Clune * In a recent Book Note, two works sponsored by the Sesquicentenary of Responsible Government in NSW Committee were mentioned. As the Sesquicentenary year advances, readers of Australasian Parliamentary Review may be interested in a summary of what else has been published so far under the Committee’s auspices. The Sesquicentenary Committee is funding works on the major political parties and minor parties and independents in NSW. Michael Hogan’s Local Labor: A history of the Labor Party in Glebe, 1891–2003 (Federation Press, 2005) is a pioneering account of the ALP at grass roots level that also tells the story of Labor in NSW in microcosm. Recently published is Paul Davey’s The Nationals: The Progressive, Country and National Party in New South Wales 1919 to 2006 (Federation Press, 2006). A former journalist and Federal Director and NSW Secretary of the National Party, Paul Davey provides a sympathetic but balanced assessment of the Nationals and their predecessors. The Sesquicentenary Committee has combined with the State Records Authority of NSW to produce an administrative history of NSW. Hilary Golder’s Politics, Patronage and Public Works: The administration of New South Wales, Vol. 1, 1842–1900 (UNSW Press) was published in 2005. The next volume, Humble and Obedient Servants: The Administration of New South Wales 1901–1960 Vol. 2 by Peter J Tyler (UNSW Press) is now available. A Guide to New South Wales State Archives Relating to Responsible Government has also been published (State Records Authority of NSW, 2006). A number of biographical works have been sponsored. -

Welsh Disestablishment: 'A Blessing in Disguise'
Welsh disestablishment: ‘A blessing in disguise’. David W. Jones The history of the protracted campaign to achieve Welsh disestablishment was to be characterised by a litany of broken pledges and frustrated attempts. It was also an exemplar of the ‘democratic deficit’ which has haunted Welsh politics. As Sir Henry Lewis1 declared in 1914: ‘The demand for disestablishment is a symptom of the times. It is the democracy that asks for it, not the Nonconformists. The demand is national, not denominational’.2 The Welsh Church Act in 1914 represented the outcome of the final, desperate scramble to cross the legislative line, oozing political compromise and equivocation in its wake. Even then, it would not have taken place without the fortuitous occurrence of constitutional change created by the Parliament Act 1911. This removed the obstacle of veto by the House of Lords, but still allowed for statutory delay. Lord Rosebery, the prime minister, had warned a Liberal meeting in Cardiff in 1895 that the Welsh demand for disestablishment faced a harsh democratic reality, in that: ‘it is hard for the representatives of the other 37 millions of population which are comprised in the United Kingdom to give first and the foremost place to a measure which affects only a million and a half’.3 But in case his audience were insufficiently disheartened by his homily, he added that there was: ‘another and more permanent barrier which opposes itself to your wishes in respect to Welsh Disestablishment’, being the intransigence of the House of Lords.4 The legislative delay which the Lords could invoke meant that the Welsh Church Bill was introduced to parliament on 23 April 1912, but it was not to be enacted until 18 September 1914. -
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. -
Church Autonomy in the United Kingdom
Final Draft - 12 March 1999 CHURCH AUTONOMY IN THE UNITED KINGDOM MARK HILL LLB, LLM(Canon Law), AKC, of the Middle Temple, Barrister-at-Law; Research Fellow, Centre for Law and Religion, Cardiff Law School; Formerly Visiting Fellow, Emmanuel College, Cambridge; Deputy Chancellor of the Diocese of Winchester Presented to the Second European/American Conference on Religious Freedom, ‘Church Autonomy and Religious Liberty’, at the University of Trier, Germany, on 27-30 May 1999 From the point of view of the state, though not necessarily of every religious organisation, the autonomy of churches in any legal system is achieved actively, through the express grant and preservation of rights of self-determination, self-governance and self-regulation; and passively, through non-interference on the part of organs of state such as national government, local or regional government or the secular courts. In the United Kingdom there is no systematic provision made for the autonomy of churches and, in the main, a self-denying ordinance of neutrality predominates. This paper considers, by reference to the general and the particular, the operation of churches within the United Kingdom1 and the extent to which the state does – and does not – interfere with their internal regulation. The Human Rights Act 1998 Though the first nation state of the Council of Europe to ratify the European Convention on Human Rights on 18 March 1951, and though permitting individual petition to the European Court in Strasbourg since 1966,2 the United Kingdom declined to give effect to the Convention in its domestic law until the socialist government recently passed the Human Rights Act 1998. -

It does not exceed the prescribed word limit for the relevant Degree Committee. Nicholas Dixon November 2018 ii Thesis Summary The Activity and Influence of the Established Church in England, c. 1800-1837 Nicholas Andrew Dixon Pembroke College, Cambridge This thesis examines the various ways in which the Church of England engaged with English politics and society from c. 1800 to 1837. Assessments of the early nineteenth-century Church of England remain coloured by a critique originating in radical anti-clerical polemics of the period and reinforced by the writings of the Tractarians and Élie Halévy. It is often assumed that, in consequence of social and political change, the influence of a complacent and reactionary church was irreparably eroded by 1830.
