  • Edmund Barton and the 1897 Federal Convention
    The Art of Consensus: Edmund Barton and the 1897 Federal Convention The Art of Consensus: Edmund Barton and the 1897 Federal Convention* Geoffrey Bolton dmund Barton first entered my life at the Port Hotel, Derby on the evening of Saturday, E13 September 1952. As a very young postgraduate I was spending three months in the Kimberley district of Western Australia researching the history of the pastoral industry. Being at a loose end that evening I went to the bar to see if I could find some old-timer with an interesting store of yarns. I soon found my old-timer. He was a leathery, weather-beaten station cook, seventy-three years of age; Russel Ward would have been proud of him. I sipped my beer, and he drained his creme-de-menthe from five-ounce glasses, and presently he said: ‘Do you know what was the greatest moment of my life?’ ‘No’, I said, ‘but I’d like to hear’; I expected to hear some epic of droving, or possibly an anecdote of Gallipoli or the Somme. But he answered: ‘When I was eighteen years old I was kitchen-boy at Petty’s Hotel in Sydney when the federal convention was on. And every evening Edmund Barton would bring some of the delegates around to have dinner and talk about things. I seen them all: Deakin, Reid, Forrest, I seen them all. But the prince of them all was Edmund Barton.’ It struck me then as remarkable that such an archetypal bushie, should be so admiring of an essentially urban, middle-class lawyer such as Barton.

  • George Turner: Australia’S First Treasurer
    George Turner: Australia’s first treasurer John Hawkins1 The following article is the first in a series of biographies of Australia’s federal treasurers. George Turner, a former Victorian treasurer and premier, was Australia’s first treasurer, and despite battling ill-health brought down the first four federal budgets. He was a cautious treasurer whose budgets were balanced, and he limited federal expenditure. Revenue was raised from somewhat protectionist tariffs, and most of it was redistributed to the states. Turner was so widely respected for his diligence and competence that the leaders of all three major parties of the time reputedly offered him the post of treasurer. 1 The author is from Domestic Economy Division, the Australian Treasury. Comments and support from Amy Burke, Steven Kennedy and Carol Murphy are appreciated. The views in this article are those of the author and not necessarily those of the Australian Treasury. 59 George Turner: Australia’s first treasurer Introduction The Right Honourable Sir George Turner, PC, KCMG, was Australia’s first treasurer, and brought down the first four federal budgets.2 Manning Clark said of him that ‘balancing the books was his great passion in life’.3 This made him an ideal choice for the job of treasurer, at a time when it was more of an accounting role than an economic one. Competent rather than charismatic, he was so admired for being ‘hardworking, conscientious and reliable’4 that all the party leaders and prime ministers of the time (the Protectionists Barton and Deakin, the Free Trader Reid and Labor’s Watson) reputedly offered him the job as treasurer.

  • Fact Sheet 2 the FIRST COMMONWEALTH PARLIAMENT
    Fact Sheet 2 THE FIRST COMMONWEALTH PARLIAMENT 1901 FEDERATION AND ’S VOTE THE PEOPLE Overview 1897-1903 Once the Australian Constitution had been accepted by voters in the Australian colonies and enacted as law by British Parliament, the process of putting the new system of federal government into practice began. The Australian colonies were now States of the Commonwealth of Australia, and the office of Governor- General represented the reigning monarch of Britain as Head of the Commonwealth. The first Governor-General of Australia, Lord Hopetoun, proclaimed the Commonwealth of Australia at a special ceremony in Centennial Park, Sydney, 1 January 1901. It was also the Governor-General’s task to commission an interim or caretaker ministry until the Australian people were able to elect their representatives to the newly created Commonwealth Parliament. These interim ministers, with Edmund Barton as Prime Minister, were sworn in as part of the inaugural ceremony at Centennial Park. Over the next 1891 first Constitutional Convention to draft months they organised the first federal election and made a federal constitution arrangements for the opening of the first Commonwealth 1893 Parliament. first ‘people’s convention’ at Corowa 1897 The first federal election delegates elected to a representative Constitutional Convention On Friday 29 March and Saturday 30 (in Queensland and South Australia) voters took part in the first election of 1898-1900 referendums on the Constitution representatives to the Parliament of the Commonwealth of held in all colonies Australia. Because there was as yet no federal electoral law, 1901 the election took place in accordance with the voting 1 January - inauguration of the legislation in each of the States.

  • 22. Gender and the 2013 Election: the Abbott 'Mandate'
    22. Gender and the 2013 Election: The Abbott ‘mandate’ Kirsty McLaren and Marian Sawer In the 2013 federal election, Tony Abbott was again wooing women voters with his relatively generous paid parental leave scheme and the constant sight of his wife and daughters on the campaign trail. Like Julia Gillard in 2010, Kevin Rudd was assuring voters that he was not someone to make an issue of gender and he failed to produce a women’s policy. Despite these attempts to neutralise gender it continued to be an undercurrent in the election, in part because of the preceding replacement of Australia’s first woman prime minister and in part because of campaigning around the gender implications of an Abbott victory. To evaluate the role of gender in the 2013 election, we draw together evidence on the campaign, campaign policies, the participation of women, the discursive positioning of male leaders and unofficial gender-based campaigning. We also apply a new international model of the dimensions of male dominance in the old democracies and the stages through which such dominance is overcome. We argue that, though feminist campaigning was a feature of the campaign, traditional views on gender remain powerful. Raising issues of gender equality, as Julia Gillard did in the latter part of her prime ministership, is perceived as electorally damaging, particularly among blue-collar voters. The prelude to the election Gender received most attention in the run-up to the election in 2012–13 rather than during the campaign itself. Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s famous misogyny speech of 2012 was prompted in immediate terms by the Leader of the Opposition drawing attention to sexism in what she perceived as a hypocritical way.

  • Earle Page: an Active Treasurer
    Earle Page: an active treasurer John Hawkins1 Earle Christmas Grafton Page brought down six Budgets while serving as Bruce’s treasurer. He was fortunate in when he was treasurer, after the war and before the Depression, which allowed him to ease tax burdens. Bruce and Page established the Loan Council and the National Debt Sinking Fund and introduced ‘tied grants’ to the States. Page moved the Commonwealth Bank further towards being a central bank and gave it responsibility for the note issue.

This article has benefited from discussions with Selwyn Cornish and the assistance of the Reserve Bank archivists. The views in this article are those of the author and not necessarily those of the Australian Treasury. 55 Earle Page: an active treasurer Introduction As well as being a long-serving treasurer, Sir Earle Page PC GCMG served as prime minister for 20 days and was often acting prime minister. Only Billy Hughes has served a longer term in the House of Representatives. But as well as possessing longevity, Page was also innovative. His private secretary recalls him as ‘a combination of dreaming idealist and intensely practical man of affairs’.2 Indeed, he was described as ‘energetic, almost incoherent as he poured out ideas faster than words would come in an orderly fashion’, peppered with his trademark ‘you see, you see’.3 He not only had a lot of energy for his ideas and his politics. Physically robust, Page played a daily hard game of tennis until he was over 80, and ‘he played it as he played the political game, with reckless energy, native cunning and a certain contempt for the orthodox rules of the game’.4 His energy was accompanied by an ability to get on well with most of his colleagues.

The women’s portfolio from Labor to the Coalition Susan Harris Rimmer, Asia-Pacific College of Diplomacy, Australian National University [email protected] Marian Sawer, School of Politics and International Relations, Australian National University [email protected] ABSTRACT The lead item in the Coalition women’s policy for the 2013 federal election was the return of the Office for Women to the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet. Since 2004 it had been located 20 kilometres from the heart of government, relegated to a line department dealing with family and community services. Did its return from exile indicate a renewed commitment to whole-of-government gender assessment of policy? This paper assesses the directions taken by women’s policy under the Rudd and Gillard Governments as compared with the new Coalition Government. It examines machinery of government arrangements for gender mainstreaming at national and intergovernmental levels. The paper concludes with analysis of why Australia’s major parties now more readily articulate gender equality objectives in areas such as international peacekeeping and development assistance than in domestic economic and social policy outside the gender-based violence area.

  • THE POLITICAL SCENE Whenmr
    CHAPTER I1 THE POLITICAL SCENE WHENMr. Cook forced the double dissolution he calculated that the Liberal party would be returned at the genexal election with substantial majorities in both Houses of the Federal Parliament. The Labour party, regarded simply as the political instrument of the trades unions, was not strong enough to win the election. Its leaders were well aware that, although the massing of the working-class votes in certain urban constituencies in the capital cities gave them a solid core of support, which would he faithful in all eventualities, victory wculd depend upon the disposition of the thousands of voters who were not pledged to either party, but whose political sympathies were swayed by independent interests, judgment, and feeling. The Liberal party managers reckoned that this “middle” vote would for the most part swing to the support of the Government, in order to put an end to the paralysing Conditions which had prevailed in Parliament during 1913-14. The manipulators of the Labour political machinery were not confident that the estimates of their rivals were misjudged. In public both sides maintained the defiant optiniism which proclaims the inevitableness of triumph ; but in private there was a more pallid hope among the Labour leaders than in the opposite camp. The principal newspapers of the Commonwealth unanimously supported the Govern- ment ; the Labour party commanded extremely meagre press influence. No dispassionate judge of the prospects would have said that the election was a foregone conclusion ; probably most would have considered that the Liberal Government had the better prospects. Between the two party leaders there was not much to choose in respect to character and ability.

  • International Development and Pacific Elevated in Turnbull Reshuffle
    Published on September 20, 2015 International development and Pacific elevated in Turnbull reshuffle By Ashlee Betteridge On the weekend, the result of the ministry reshuffle following Malcolm Turnbull’s sudden ascendency to Prime Ministerwas announced. For aid and Pacific watchers, there was one particularly interesting thing: Julie Bishop’s Parliamentary Secretary for Foreign Affairs since( November 2014), Steven Ciobo, was elevated to the new position of Minister for International Development and the Pacific. On top of his foreign affairs role, Ciobo previously also served as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Trade and Investment, but Andrew Robb will now be assisted by Senator Richard Colbeck, freeing up Ciobo’s time. While PM Turnbull has scrapped parliamentary secretaries entirely in his ministry, most other former parliamentary secretary positions have been turned into Assistant Minister positions–not Ministerial ones (for comparison,see the make-up of the Abbott ministry). Given that Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has such as strong personal interest in aid and the Pacific, it will be interesting to see what this new role entails. This is not the first time development has risen to this level of prominance in a ministry. The short-lived second Rudd governmenthad a Minister for International Development (Melissa Parke), also an outer ministry position. Delving further back into the past, Labor’s Gordon Bilney was Minister for Development Cooperation and Pacific Affairs from 1993 to 1996, and Neal Link: Page 1 of 2 https://devpolicy.org/international-development-and-pacific-elevated-in-turnbull-reshuffle-20150920 / Date downloaded: September 27, 2021 Published on September 20, 2015 Blewett, also of Labor, was Minister for Trade and Overseas Development for a year in 1991, followed by John Kerin who held the role between 1992 and 1993.
