  • A Call for the Revolutionary Regroupment of the Australian Left
    A Call for the Revolutionary Regroupment of the Australian Left http://www.softdawn.net/Archive/MRM/thecall.html September 1975 Melbourne Revolutionary Marxists Introduction (2017) by Robert Dorning and Ken Mansell Momentous changes occurred in Western societies in the 1960s and 70s. A wave of youth radicalisation swept many Western countries. Australia was part of this widespread generational change. The issues were largely common, but varied in importance from country to country. In Australia, the Vietnam War and conscription were major issues. This radicalisation included the demand for major political change, and new political movements and far-left organisations came into being. A notable new development in Australia was the emergence of Trotskyist groupings. However, as the wider movement subsided with Australia's withdrawal from the Vietnam War, the Australian Left became fragmented and more divided than ever. It was in this environment that, in 1975, "A Call for the Revolutionary Regroupment of the Australian Left" was published by the "Melbourne Revolutionary Marxists" (MRM). "The Call" includes a description of the evolution of the new Left movements in Australia including the Trotskyist current to which MRM belonged. MRM was a break-away from the Communist League, an Australian revolutionary socialist organisation adhering to the majority section of the Fourth International. At the Easter 1975 National Conference, virtually the entire Melbourne branch of the CL resigned en masse from the national organisation. The issue was the refusal of the national organisation to accept the application by Robert Dorning (a leading Melbourne member) for full membership on the grounds he held a "bureaucratic collectivist" position on the social nature of the Soviet Union, rather than the orthodox Trotskyist position of "deformed workers' state".

From the very beginning, Moore Park was the centre of Sydney’s recreation, sporting and entertainment activities.

  • THE CULTURAL REINVENTION of PLANNING by Gregory
    THE CULTURAL REINVENTION OF PLANNING by Gregory Young MA (Syd), Dip Urb Studs (Macq), MPHA, MPIA A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of the Built Environment University of New South Wales THE CULTURAL REINVENTION OF PLANNING Abstract THE CULTURAL REINVENTION OF PLANNING Culture is expanding and has greater weight and explanatory potential in our culturalised age. Following the earlier literature of the ‘cultural turn’, culture is now perceived as ubiquitous in society, the economy, and theory, and with the capacity to intervene on itself. Further, it may be seen to characterise both the nature and the progressive potential of a range of contemporary social and intellectual technologies such as planning, education, health, and organisational development. While this general process of ‘culturalisation’ proceeds apace, the capacity of culture to act as an organising idea and category for sectors such as planning is still largely underdeveloped, most particularly in planning itself. A new Culturised Model for planning that is reflexive and ethical is proposed. Differentiated from the trend to culturalisation and its association with commodification, ‘culturisation’ has true sustainable and transformational potential. The thesis consists of three main parts – each of three chapters - with a substantial scene- setting Introduction and a Conclusion. Part One examines culture and planning, Part Two develops a new Culturised Model for planning, and Part Three illustrates the Model. In Part One the grounds of culturisation are prepared by: 1) describing our culturalised age; 2) developing a new positionality for planning; 3) presenting a critical analysis of neomodern and postmodern planning theory; and 4) outlining an original history of culture and planning in the 20 th and 21 st centuries.

  • Submission on the Fair Work Bill by Chris White Labour Law Researcher
    Committee Secretary Senate Education, Employment and Workplace Relations Committee Parliament House CANBERRA Submission on the Fair Work Bill by Chris White Labour Law Researcher Summary My submission argues: 1. The changed circumstances of the global capitalist financial crisis (GFC) means the Fair Work Bill (FWB) requires substantial amendments by the Parliament to better defend the economic, social and occupational interests of workers during a recession. 2. The FWB shortfalls for the protection and advancement of workers’ rights with devils in the details are significant. While welcoming the genuine reforms, this is new ‘1984 doublespeak spin’ that ‘WorkChoices is dead’ and the FWB establishes ‘fair rights for workers’ and a ‘fair balance for all’. 3. The fair collective bargaining system has not been achieved as the FWB deliberately retains the repressive regime against industrial action. The Deputy Prime Minister DPM’s ‘clear rules for the right to strike’ are but a cut and paste from WorkChoices. They bring shame on an ALP government. The failure to provide for the right to strike to enable workers to respond to the environmental crisis is but one example. 4. Is this fairness we can believe in? This Parliament can respond to the twin challenges of the GFC and the environmental crisis by recognising the legitimacy of the unions’ Your Rights at Work’ voice in the democratic elections by not selling out the justifiable political demands for workers’ rights. I write from a union perspective. These are my own views. One. The disastrous impact on workers in this global capitalist financial crisis requires changes to better protect workers’ rights.
