Six-year-old Ibrahimah loves devouring pastries from his mother’s kitchen, harvesting green beans with his father, and racing down to the beach in search of sea glass with his sisters.

Unbeknownst to Ibrahimah’s parents, when Ibrahimah is sent to join his cousin Etienne to study the Koran for a year – the local custom for many families – Ibrahimah is sent out to beg in the streets in order to line his teacher’s pockets.

    AUSTRALIA FELIX Jeremy Bentham and Australian Colonial Democracy

    AUSTRALIA FELIX Jeremy Bentham and Australian colonial democracy David Geoffrey Matthew Llewellyn A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Melbourne July 2016 School of Historical and Philosophical Studies School of Social and Political Sciences Produced on archival quality paper. Abstract Jeremy Bentham considered that society should be ordered on the idea of the greatest happiness. From this foundation, he devised a democratic political system. Drawing on others’ ideas, this included: the secret ballot; payment of members of parliament; equal electoral districts; one person one vote; universal adult male and female franchise; and annual elections. It also included: a single parliamentary chamber; law made by legislation, including codification of the common law; a strong but highly accountable executive; peaceful change; and eventual colonial independence. Bentham inspired several generations of radical reformers. Many of these reformers took an interest in the colonies as fields for political experiment and as cradles for democracy. Several played a direct role in implementing democratic reform in the colonies. They occupied influential positions in Australia and in London. They sought peaceful change, and looked towards the eventual independence of the colonies. This thesis traces the influence of Bentham, and those who followed his ideas, on democratic reform in the Australian colonies. It also examines the Benthamite input into the 1838 Charter in Britain, and relationships between the Charter and subsequent reform in Australia. The thesis notes ideas implemented in Australia that emerged from the experiences of other colonies, especially Canada. The Wakefield land and emigration system, and responsible government for the colonies, both saw their genesis in the Canadian experience, and both were theorised or taken up as causes by people who were members of the Benthamite circle.

BALLARD INTRODUCTION LICENSED TO WARN On 28 December 1970, J. G. Ballard, not yet well known for Crash and Empire ofthe Sun, wrote to his Danish translator Jannick Storm thanking him for a Christmas card and the letter that accompanied it, and complimenting him on the erotic illustrations that enlivened both. Encouraged by these, he solicited Storm's help in finding some examples of 'automobile pornography' - not as research, but for his private delectation.
