The first edition of the Parliamentary Handbook was published in 1922 and together the succeeding volumes represent one of the best historical record of any Parliament in Australia. In this edition a significant restructure of the Handbook has taken place in an effort to improve usability for the reader. The staff of both Houses of Parliament have done an enormous amount of work to restructure this volume for easier reference which has resulted in a more accurate, reliable and internally consistent body of work.

At a time when the Premier of Western Australia Sir John Forrest had begun to doubt the wisdom of his resource rich but under-developed colony joining the emerging Commonwealth, Kirwan conspired with Perth Federalists, Walter James and George Leake, to force Forrest’s hand. Editor and part- owner of the influential Kalgoorlie Miner, the ‘pocket-handkerchief’ newspaper he had transformed into one of the most powerful journals in the colony, he waged a virulent press campaign against the besieged Premier, mocking and belittling him at every turn and encouraging his east coast colleagues to follow suit.

  • The Wine Press
    [ESSAY] THE WINE PRESS SOME VINTAGE SPECIMENS AND NEWER BREEDS OF AUSTRALIAN WINE- WRITING ARE SAMPLED HERE BY HISTORIAN DAVID DUNSTAN THESE days we are familiar with pundits in the press and other media who specialise in gardening, sports, cookery, crafts and hobbies, real estate, rock music, fashion and finance. And a wine column is now de rigueur in most Australian newspapers and magazines for general circulation. But writing about wine has a long history in this country—longer, perhaps, than is the case with most of those other subjects. European settlers from early on recognised Australia's range of Mediterranean climates and our potential to become, as one scribe put it in a title of 1886, John Bull's Vineyard. A literature of wine was created in the nineteenth century with primers and memoirs, advertising puffery and journalism—practitioners of the fourth estate have always found the path to the winery door easier to locate than most. Makers and critics communicated and quarrelled in trade journals. Local and international exhibitions made news for the industry with various awards, as they do today. Foreign visitors were drawn to Australian wine as a curiosity and source of hospitality. Swiss, French, German, Hungarian and Italian immi­ grants who engaged in the industry sent reports back to Europe. There were some vivid descriptions of the wines of the period, including this one of a St Hubert's [34] The Wine Press 'Syra de FHermitage', a shiraz from the Yarra Valley, shown at the Paris Exhibi­ tion of 1878: This wine had an open letter of recommendation in its bouquet, which would not have done discredit to a Chateau Margaux.

  • FRANCIS DRAKE WILLMOTT !Nterviewed by John Ferrell (10 Tapes)
    FRANCIS DRAKE WILLMOTT !nterviewed by John Ferrell (10 tapes) and Del Willmott (3 tapes) Introduction This collection of memories is the result of a series of interviews with my father. The first two of these (Bridgetown and Political Memories) were carried out by me in 1988 and a third (Hale School) in 1992: Unfortunately work pressures and other matters intervened and I did not carry on with this project and the matter rested until my daughters, Deidre and Helen, decided in 2001 that they would engage a professional interviewer to talk to Frank who was by then aged 97 but still quite alert mentally. These interviews consisted of one hour of discussion each week and were conducted by John Ferrell who previously had interviewed a number of former Federal MPs. When completed Helen and I transcribed these interviews. As I did the transcription work I realised that it was a great pity that I had not carried on in 1988 as Frank's memories were much less clear by 2001. I also felt that my previous feeling that it was better for these interviews to be carried out by a non-family member without one ofus present was wrong. I found myself continuously wishing that John would ask "the next question" which I knew would have revealed a lot more information because I already knew at least part of the answer. As a result of this I felt that in addition to an accurate transcription of Frank's words for future reference it would be interesting if I provided an edited version to which was added my own knowledge and memories because, of course, our memories overlap to quite a considerable extent.
