  • THE UNIVERSITY of MELBOURNE ANNUAL REPORT Report of the Proceedings of the University for the Year Ended 31St December, 1949
    THE UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE ANNUAL REPORT Report of the Proceedings of the University for the year ended 31st December, 1949. To His Excellency, Sir Dallas Brooks, K.C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O.,, Governor of Victoria. May it Please Your Excellency, I have the honour, in accordance with Section 43 of the Uni­ versity Act 1928, to submit to Your Excellency the following report of the Proceedings of the University during 1949. 1. Student Numbers: The first falling off in numbers, since the post-war inflation, took place in 1949 when the total number of students was 9,254 compared with 9,497 in 1948. This was the direct result of the reduction of ex-service entries from 3,770 in 1948 to 3,460 in 1949. The 1950 enrolments are bound to recede sharply and 1951 will probably see the lowest point of the recession in as much as our recent surveys, which are similar to those prepared by the Universities Commission for all Australian Universities, indicate that numbers will start to rise again in 1952. The restrictions on entry remained as in 1948 and applied only to the second year of the Medical Course (42 students who had passed First Year being deferred till 1950) and to the "extra-Victorian quota" in the first year. 2. Staff: The size of the University can be measured to some extent by the number of those on the pay-roll, which increased from 1,344 in 1948 to 1,534 in 1949 (1,186 full-time and 348 part-time).

  • Water Politics in Victoria: the Impact of Legislative Design, Policy
    Water Politics in Victoria The impact of legislative design, policy objectives and institutional constraints on rural water supply governance Benjamin David Rankin Thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Swinburne Institute for Social Research Faculty of Health, Arts and Design Swinburne University of Technology 2017 i Abstract This thesis explores rural water supply governance in Victoria from its beginnings in the efforts of legislators during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to shape social and economic outcomes by legislative design and maximise developmental objectives in accordance with social liberal perspectives on national development. The thesis is focused on examining the development of Victorian water governance through an institutional lens with an intention to explain how the origins of complex legislative and administrative structures later come to constrain the governance of a policy domain (water supply). Centrally, the argument is concentrated on how the institutional structure comprising rural water supply governance encouraged future water supply endeavours that reinforced the primary objective of irrigated development at the expense of alternate policy trajectories. The foundations of Victoria’s water legislation were initially formulated during the mid-1880s and into the 1890s under the leadership of Alfred Deakin, and again through the efforts of George Swinburne in the decade following federation. Both regarded the introduction of water resources legislation as fundamentally important to ongoing national development, reflecting late nineteenth century colonial perspectives of state initiated assistance to produce social and economic outcomes. The objectives incorporated primarily within the Irrigation Act (1886) and later Water Acts later become integral features of water governance in Victoria, exerting considerable influence over water supply decision making.

  • Reluctant Lawyer, Reluctant Politician
    Alfred Deakin (1856–1919) Australia’s 2nd Prime Minister Terms of office 24 September 1903 to 27 April 1904 • 5 July 1905 to 13 November 1908 • 2 June 1909 to 29 April 1910 Reluctant lawyer, reluctant politician Deakin first met David Syme, the Scottish-born owner of The Age newspaper, in May 1878, as the result of their mutual interest in spiritualism. Soon after, Syme hired the reluctant lawyer on a trial basis, and he made an immediate impression. Despite repeatedly emphasising how ‘laborious’ journalism could be, Deakin was good at it, able to churn out leaders, editorials, investigative articles and reviews as the occasion demanded. Syme wielded enormous clout, able to make and break governments in colonial Victoria and, after 1901, national governments. A staunch advocate of protection for local industry, he ‘connived’ at Deakin’s political education, converting his favourite young journalist, a free-trader, into a protectionist. As Deakin later acknowledged, ‘I crossed the fiscal Rubicon’, providing a first clear indication of his capacity for political pragmatism--his willingness to reshape his beliefs and ‘liberal’ principles if and when the circumstances required it. Radical MLA David Gaunson dismissed him as nothing more than a ‘puppet’, ‘the poodle dog of a newspaper proprietor’. Syme was the catalyst for the start of Deakin’s political career in 1879-80. After two interesting false starts, Deakin was finally elected in July 1880, during the same year that a clairvoyant predicted he would soon embark on a life-changing journey to London to participate in a ‘grand tribunal’. Deakin did not forget what he described as ‘extraordinary information’, and in 1887 he represented Victoria at the Colonial Conference in London.

(03) 9663 5259 rsv.org.au December Events Climate Extremes: Present and Future Thursday, 12th December from 6:30pm Climate extremes are events such as heatwaves, extreme rainfall, cyclones and drought that affect humans, our natural environment and multiple socio-economic systems. The evidence is now unambiguous that some climate extremes are responding to increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, yet how some other extremes are responding is proving more complex. Join Professor Andy Pitman to explore the evidence for how and why climate extremes are changing, and what we can anticipate about how they will change in the future. The limits to our current capability and how climate science is trying to address those limits via new approaches to modelling will be discussed. About the speaker: Professor Andy Pitman AO is a Professor in climate science at the University of New South Wales. He is the Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes (CLEx), which brings together five Australian universities (including Monash University and the University of Melbourne) and a suite of international partner organisations to understand the behaviour of climate extremes and how they directly affect Australian natural and economic systems.

  • The Banning of E.A.H. Laurie at Melbourne Teachers' College, 1944
    THE BANNING OF E.A.H. LAURIE AT MELBOURNE TEACHERS' COLLEGE, 1944. 05 Rochelle White DEPARTMENT OF HUMANITIES Fourth Year Honours Thesis Faculty of Arts, Victoria University. December, 1997 FTS THESIS 323.4430994 WHI 30001004875359 White, Rochelle The banning of E.A.H. Laurie at Melbourne Teachers' College, 1944 TABLE OF CONTENTS Synopsis i Disclaimer ii Acknowledgments iii Chapter 1: Introduction 1-3 Chapter 2: Background 4-14 Chapters: Events 15-23 Chapter 4: Was the ban warranted? 24-29 Chapters: Conclusion 30-31 Bibliography Appendix: Constitution Alteration (War Aims and Reconstruction ) Bill - 1942 SYNOPSIS This thesis examines the banning of a communist speaker. Lieutenant E.A.H. Laurie, at Melbourne Teachers' College in July, 1944 and argues that the decision to ban Laurie was unwarranted and politically motivated. The banning, which was enforced by the Minister for Public Instruction, Thomas Tuke Hollway, appears to have been based on Hollway's firm anti-communist views and political opportunism. A. J. Law, Principal of the Teachers' College, was also responsible for banning Laurie. However, Law's decision to ban Laurie was probably directed by Hollway and supported by J. Seitz, Director of Education. Students at the neighbouring Melbourne University protested to defend the rights of Teachers' College students for freedom of speech. The University Labor Club and even the University Conservative Club argued that Hollway should have allowed Laurie to debate the "Yes" case for the forthcoming 1944 Powers Referendum. The "Fourteen Powers Referendum" sought the transfer of certain powers from the States to the Commonwealth for a period of five years after the war, to aid post-war reconstruction.
