Glebe Society Bulletin 2008 Issue 08 Congratulations to our new City Council team The Glebe Society congratulates the Lord Mayor, Clover Moore, and all other council- ors on their recent election, and looks forward to a productive relationship with the new Council. The clear vote by residents against introduc- ing a ward system settles that question, and it is no doubt appropriate that councilors need to focus not just on their local area but on the broader issues that face Sydney as a global city. However, it does mean that we now have only one councillor who is a resident of Glebe - Lord Mayor Clover Moore at our meeting Meredith Burgmann, the sole Labor member on 13 September.

  • Thesis August
    Chapter 1 Introduction Section 1.1: ‘A fit place for women’? Section 1.2: Problems of sex, gender and parliament Section 1.3: Gender and the Parliament, 1995-1999 Section 1.4: Expectations on female MPs Section 1.5: Outline of the thesis Section 1.1: ‘A fit place for women’? The Sydney Morning Herald of 27 August 1925 reported the first speech given by a female Member of Parliament (hereafter MP) in New South Wales. In the Legislative Assembly on the previous day, Millicent Preston-Stanley, Nationalist Party Member for the Eastern Suburbs, created history. According to the Herald: ‘Miss Stanley proceeded to illumine the House with a few little shafts of humour. “For many years”, she said, “I have in this House looked down upon honourable members from above. And I have wondered how so many old women have managed to get here - not only to get here, but to stay here”. The Herald continued: ‘The House figuratively rocked with laughter. Miss Stanley hastened to explain herself. “I am referring”, she said amidst further laughter, “not to the physical age of the old gentlemen in question, but to their mental age, and to that obvious vacuity of mind which characterises the old gentlemen to whom I have referred”. Members obviously could not afford to manifest any deep sense of injury because of a woman’s banter. They laughed instead’. Preston-Stanley’s speech marks an important point in gender politics. It introduced female participation in the Twenty-seventh Parliament. It stands chronologically midway between the introduction of responsible government in the 1850s and the Fifty-first Parliament elected in March 1995.

  • The Hon. Dr Meredith Burgmann AM
    The Hon. Dr Meredith Burgmann AM Former President of the NSW State Legislative Council and outspoken feminist The Honourable Dr Meredith Burgmann AM has been an early feminist and anti-racism activist, an academic, a senior MP and a writer. She was President of the NSW Upper House and has written four books. She has been President of the Australian Council for International Development and a Consultant to the United Nations Development Program. She is currently an Ambassador for the Sydney Swans. Dr Meredith Burgmann is a dynamic public speaker on vital contemporary issues including politics, feminism, and international aid and development. She is a regular contributor to radio and TV current affairs shows, particularly Weekend Breakfast on ABC TV. More about Dr Meredith Burgmann: Dr Burgmann’s passion for politics is long standing. She was active in the Vietnam and apartheid protest movements at Sydney University, and spent time in prison for running onto the Sydney Cricket Ground in 1971 during the Springboks tour. Having gained her PhD at Macquarie University, she taught industrial relations and politics there for 18 years. She was the first woman President of the NSW Academics union. Dr Burgmann entered State Parliament in 1991 and in 1999 was elected President of the NSW Legislative Council to replace Virginia Chadwick. As a member of parliament, she served as the chair of the Parliamentary Privileges and Ethics Committee where she led an inquiry into certain paedophile conspiracy allegations made by former politician Franca Arena. It was generally acknowledged that the committee observed procedural fairness during that inquiry, and that her time as a politician has shown her to be an “independent and intellectual member” of the New South Wales Parliament.

  • Legislative Assembly
    1162 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Thursday 26 May 2011 __________ The Speaker (The Hon. Shelley Elizabeth Hancock) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. The Speaker read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country. TRIBUTE TO ROBERT GOULD Mr JOHN ROBERTSON (Blacktown—Leader of the Opposition) [10.00 a.m.], by leave: I acknowledge the students in the public gallery from St Andrews Primary School at Marayong. On behalf of the Opposition I acknowledge the passing of Bob Gould; a great contributor to this city's intellectual and political capital over many decades, who died suddenly on 22 May 2011. This House is a place of robust debate and differing· views. We often find ourselves in agreement on matters but more often in disagreement—sometimes quite passionate and heated disagreement. But regardless of which point on the political spectrum we come from I think we all agree that all points are needed. We agree that diverse views, contrary views, majority and minority views are all equally important contributors to the healthy and robust debate that underpins our democracy. We should never silence in this place the dissenting view but rather allow it to have its voice. There would not be one member of this House who can say that he or she has not experienced moments of being in the minority and yet was afforded the respect and right to state his or her case. Bob Gould was far more than the proprietor of the business that bears his name; he was also a great contributor to keeping this principle front and centre in the life of this city.

    Vale Glebe Post Office Something happened on 19 December 2010 that roused the Glebe community into unified action. No, Australia Post did not make an announcement that they were planning to close Glebe Post Office. Australia Post never had any intention of informing the community. The Communications Electrical Plumbing Union (CEPU) Branch Secretary gave a statement to the Sunday Telegraph. This was the first we knew about the intended closure.
