  • A 'Common-Sense Revolution'? the Transformation of the Melbourne City
    A ‘COMMON-SENSE REVOLUTION’? THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE MELBOURNE CITY COUNCIL, 1992−9 A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April, 2015 Angela G. Munro Faculty of Business, Government and Law Institute for Governance and Policy Analysis University of Canberra ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis is the culmination of almost fifty years’ interest professionally and as a citizen in local government. Like many Australians, I suspect, I had barely noticed it until I lived in England where I realised what unique attributes it offered, despite the different constitutional arrangements of which it was part. The research question of how the disempowerment and de-democratisation of the Melbourne City Council from 1992−9 was possible was a question with which I had wrestled, in practice, as a citizen during those years. My academic interest was piqued by the Mayor of Stockholm to whom I spoke on November 18, 1993, the day on which the Melbourne City Council was sacked. ‘That couldn’t happen here’, he said. I have found the project a herculean labour, since I recognised the need to go back to 1842 to track the institutional genealogy of the City Council’s development in the pre- history period to 1992 rather than a forensic examination of the seven year study period. I have been exceptionally fortunate to have been supervised by John Halligan, Professor of Public Administration at University of Canberra. An international authority in the field, Professor Halligan has published extensively on Australian systems of government including the capital cities and the Melbourne City Council in particular.

  • Still Anti-Asian? Anti-Chinese? One Nation Policies on Asian Immigration and Multiculturalism
    Still Anti-Asian? Anti-Chinese? One Nation policies on Asian immigration and multiculturalism 仍然反亚裔？反华裔？ 一国党针对亚裔移民和多元文化 的政策 Is Pauline Hanson’s One Nation party anti-Asian? Just how much has One Nation changed since Pauline Hanson first sat in the Australian Parliament two decades ago? This report reviews One Nation’s statements of the 1990s and the current policies of the party. It concludes that One Nation’s broad policies on immigration and multiculturalism remain essentially unchanged. Anti-Asian sentiments remain at One Nation’s core. Continuity in One Nation policy is reinforced by the party’s connections with anti-Asian immigration campaigners from the extreme right of Australian politics. Anti-Chinese thinking is a persistent sub-text in One Nation’s thinking and policy positions. The possibility that One Nation will in the future turn its attacks on Australia's Chinese communities cannot be dismissed. 宝林·韩森的一国党是否反亚裔？自从宝林·韩森二十年前首次当选澳大利亚 议会议员以来，一国党改变了多少？ 本报告回顾了一国党在二十世纪九十年代的声明以及该党的现行政策。报告 得出的结论显示，一国党关于移民和多元文化的广泛政策基本保持不变。反 亚裔情绪仍然居于一国党的核心。通过与来自澳大利亚极右翼政坛的反亚裔 移民竞选人的联系，一国党的政策连续性得以加强。反华裔思想是一国党思 想和政策立场的一个持久不变的潜台词。无法排除一国党未来攻击澳大利亚 华人社区的可能性。 Report Philip Dorling May 2017 ABOUT THE AUSTRALIA INSTITUTE The Australia Institute is an independent public policy think tank based in Canberra. It is funded by donations from philanthropic trusts and individuals and commissioned research. Since its launch in 1994, the Institute has carried out highly influential research on a broad range of economic, social and environmental issues. OUR PHILOSOPHY As we begin the 21st century, new dilemmas confront our society and our planet. Unprecedented levels of consumption co-exist with extreme poverty. Through new technology we are more connected than we have ever been, yet civic engagement is declining.

  • SM Bruce: the Businessman As Treasurer
    SM Bruce: the businessman as Treasurer John Hawkins1 Stanley Melbourne Bruce, a wealthy businessman with an aristocratic air, served as Treasurer in 1922, bringing down one budget, during his meteoric rise to the prime ministership. He stressed the need to bring ‘businesslike’ practices into government and promote development under his slogan ‘men, money and markets’. A number of commissions and inquiries were set up to inform policymaking, and Bruce looked favourably on establishing independent boards to manage some government operations. Bruce established a sinking fund to retire the debt accumulated during the First World War. He also tried to rationalise industrial relations arrangements. Source: National Library of Australia. 1 The first draft of this article was prepared when the author was in the Domestic Economy Division, the Australian Treasury. He thanks Anthony Goldbloom for assistance in tracking down references from The Economist, and for helpful comments. The views in this article are those of the author and not necessarily those of the Australian Treasury. 71 SM Bruce: the businessman as Treasurer Introduction Stanley Melbourne Bruce PC CH MC, later Viscount Bruce of Melbourne, preferred to be known as ’SM’ than ’Stanley’. (He was never called ’Stan’.) His wealth and interests set him apart from the average Australian.2 Even at the time, he seemed like he had stepped out of a Wodehouse novel. He was the only Prime Minister to come to the job already with a valet, a butler and a chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce. His sports were riding, rowing, golf and royal tennis. He was always immaculately attired, and had impeccable manners and what some regarded as matinee idol looks.

  • An Inquiry Into the Politics of Rural Water Allocations in Victoria
    Watershed or Water Shared? An Inquiry into the Politics of Rural Water Allocations in Victoria Submitted in fulfillment of the requirement of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Barry Hancock May 2010 Well, you see Willard … In this war, things get confused out there - power, ideals, the old morality and practical military necessity. Out there with these natives it must be a temptation to be good because there's a conflict in every human heart between the rational and the irrational, between good and evil. The good does not always triumph. Sometimes the dark side overcomes what Lincoln called the better angels of our nature. Every man has got a breaking point – both you and I have. Walter Kurtz has reached his. And very obviously, he has gone insane (Apocalypse Now). ii Abstract This thesis explores the politics associated with rural water reform in Victoria. The specific focus of the thesis is on the period from 1980 through to the time of submission in May 2010. During this period, the rural water sector has undergone radical reform in Victoria. Initially, reforms were driven by a desire to improve the operational efficiency of the State’s rural water sector. With the growing realisation that water extractions were pressing against the limits of sustainable yield, the focus of the reform agenda shifted to increasing the economic efficiency derived from every megalitre of water. By early 2000, the focus of the rural water reform changed as prolonged drought impacted on the reliability of water supply for the irrigation community. The objective of the latest round of reforms was to improve the efficiency of water usage as the scarcity became more acute.

  • 1 21/10/2016 “We Will End up Being a Third Rate Economy …A Banana Republic”: How Behavioural Economics Can Improve Macroec
    1 Australian Economic Review Forthcoming 21/10/2016 “We will end up being a third rate economy …a banana republic”: How behavioural economics can improve macroeconomic outcomes Ian M McDonald University of Melbourne Abstract To address the economic problems facing Australia in 1986 required wage restraint which required in turn overcoming loss aversion by workers with respect to their wages. The Prices and Incomes Accord was able to do this. Attempts to address Australia’s current economic problems are stymied by tax resistance. Addressing tax resistance requires overcoming loss aversion by voters with respect to their post-tax incomes. The success of the Accord suggests that Accord-type policies could reduce tax resistance by broadening people’s perspective beyond their post-tax incomes to the broader spread of benefits for them and others. Short abstract The Prices and Incomes Accord overcame loss aversion and delivered wage restraint. Can Accord-like policies overcome loss aversion and deliver the increases in taxation that will address Australia’s current economic challenges? 2 “We will end up being a third rate economy …a banana republic”: How behavioural economics can improve macroeconomic outcomes 1 Ian M McDonald University of Melbourne 30 years ago, faced with a large fall in the terms of trade occurring in a situation of high unemployment, high inflation, a high government budget deficit and a high current account deficit, Paul Keating, the Treasurer of Australia, warned the public that Australia faced the prospect of becoming a banana republic.2 Keating's iconic statement arose in the context of an elaborate economic program, called The Prices and Incomes Accord, aimed at improving Australia's economic performance.

Back endpaper: Audit Office staff, 2001. iii Foreword he year 2001 assumed much significance for the Victorian Auditor-General’s Office as Tit marked the 150th anniversary of the appointment in July 1851 of the first Victorian Auditor-General, Charles Hotson Ebden. In commemoration of this major occasion, we decided to commission a history of the 150 years of the Office and appointed Dr Peter Yule, to carry out this task. The product of the work of Peter Yule is a highly informative account of the Office over the 150 year period. Peter has skilfully analysed the personalities and key events that have characterised the functioning of the Office and indeed much of the Victorian public sector over the years. His book will be fascinating reading to anyone interested in the development of public accountability in this State and of the forces of change that have progressively impacted on the powers and responsibilities of Auditors-General. Peter Yule was ably assisted by Geoff Burrows (Associate Professor in Accounting, University of Melbourne) who, together with Graham Hamilton (former Deputy Auditor- General), provided quality external advice during the course of the project.
