Community Development Division Department of Premier and Cabinet MESSAGE from the PREMIER 2009 Community Development Division Department of Premier and Cabinet MESSAGE FROM THE PREMIER It is with great pleasure that I present the biographies of the women selected for inclusion on the 2009 Tasmanian Honour Roll of Women. The life stories of these women are inspirational. They have made a real difference in the lives of others and have assisted in building a culture of social inclusion. Their diverse stories reveal an impressive range of contributions to the Tasmanian community. Some of these women are quiet achievers, who have worked tirelessly for their local communities. Other women have made contributions at a level of state, national and international significance. The Honour Roll salutes women who have contributed so much to our wonderful community, from all walks of life and fields of endeavour, from humanitarian pursuits and community service, to business, science and the environment. The members of the Honour Roll have set a precedent that will continue to inspire all members of the Tasmanian community. Through this public recognition, we can share their stories and celebrate their achievements now and in the future. I commend these biographies to you and I’m left in no doubt that you will feel as inspired as I was when reading about the lives of these remarkable Tasmanian women. David Bartlett Premier CONTENTS Baker, Florence Jean 4 Masterman, Evelyn (Eve) Loois AM 19 Barnes, Vera Florence OAM 5 Mead, Isabella Jane 20 Bjelke Petersen, Marie Caroline 6 Miller, Dame Mabel Flora DBE 21 Colville, Margaret Jean AM 7 Park, Priscilla OAM 22 Crisp, Mary Murdoch 8 Rooney, Marjorie Lorna MBE 23 Fitzallen, Lilah Maude 9 Searle, Myrtle 24 French, Sandra Anne 10 Shields, Ethnee Patricia AM 25 Frohmader, Carolyn Patricia 11 Smit, Nellie (Nel) Suzanna 26 Fullard, Corrie Lavinia 12 Sparkes, Jantina (Jan) Maria 27 Greig, Annie 13 Swan, Louisa 28 Hodgetts, Diana 14 Watson, Lilian Delsa 29 Irvine, Alice Christina 15 Wayn, Amelia Lucy MBE 30 Jackson, Judith (Judy) Louise 16 Weeks, Josephine (Jo) Frances Emily 31 Jackson, Marilyne Jayne 17 Wellard, Sister Emmeline Louisa 32 Kelly, Merma 18 Willson, Barbara Brenda 33 BAKER, FLORENCE JEAN AWARDED FOR SERVICE TO DEFENCE Florence Jean Baker (nee Crawford) was born in Launceston on 13 January 1920. A successful student, sportswoman and fondly remembered mother, Jean inspired many as an exceptional role model during WWII. In her early days at school, Jean underlined a quote from one of her school principals “…for these higher things are not only knowledge and scholastic attainments, but the higher graces of character and above all service.” This sentiment epitomised how Jean lived her life. Jean has been described as a gentlewoman who sought no recognition but who quietly contributed to and served her community. She had great enthusiasm and excelled at what she did. A keen tennis player, she became both singles and doubles champion of Tasmania. In later years she was an A-grade champion at bowls. However, her great determination and courage was manifest during WWII. Jean joined the Australian Women’s Army Service in 1942 and was commissioned as one of the first two female officers from Tasmania. By the end of the war, Jean was the Commanding Officer of the female barracks in Papua New Guinea (PNG). The then 26 year old Tasmanian female officer was given the responsibility for hundreds of female soldiers who served in the Pacific. Her courage and service has been well recognised. For her services in WWII, Jean Baker was awarded the 1939-1945 Star; Pacific Star; 1939-1945 British War Medal; 1939-1945 Australian War Medal; and the 1945-1975 Australian Service Medal (PNG). Following the war, and as a young mother, Jean continued her contribution to her community. She became one of the first welfare officers in Tasmania. She also joined the Australian Army Medical Women’s Service and served as its President for 50 years. Jean is also remembered for her service to the Royal United Services Institute, where she was made Life Member for her outstanding contribution. Jean died in Hobart on 8 May 2007. 4 BARNES, VERA FLORENCE OAM AWARDED FOR SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY Vera Florence Barnes was born on Currie, King Island, on 21 July 1907. She married Jeffrey Barnes and together they raised five children. Before her marriage, Vera had worked at the King Island Hospital in Currie. They moved to Longford in 1940. Vera’s commitment to the Longford community saw her give her time generously to many community organisations. In 1966, her 20 year voluntary service to the Toosey Memorial Hospital was rewarded with a Certificate of Merit, presented on behalf of the Minister for Health. Vera was also the Country Women’s Association nominee to the Hospital Board. Vera joined the Country Women’s Association on King Island and was Secretary of the Longford branch for over 35 years. In 1974, Vera’s commitment to the Country Women’s Association of 37 years earned her an award for outstanding service. A long standing member of the R.S.L. Memorial Club, Vera was made a Life Member in 1987. Her voluntary work included organising six R.S.L. balls and arranging the catering at Longford Motor Racing, the Longford Agricultural Show and R.S.L. fairs, all of which proved to be excellent money raising events for many years. Vera also assisted with the Anzac ‘Dawn Breakfasts’ as well as luncheon and afternoon teas at the annual Anzac Sports. Vera was a keen bowls enthusiast and a great supporter of the Longford football and cricket clubs. She was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia on 26 January 1980 in recognition of her service to the community. Vera died at Longford on 28 July 1988. 5 BJELKE PETERSEN, MARIE CAROLINE AWARDED FOR SERVICE TO THE ARTS Marie Caroline Bjelke Petersen was born in Jagtvejen near Copenhagen, on 23 December 1874. She migrated to Tasmania with her family, arriving in Hobart on 13 October 1891. A talented artist, Marie initially pursued a career in art to please her father, but without a ready outlet for her work she did not enjoy much success. Her real passion was writing, a profession of which her father disapproved. Marie’s brother, Christian, was a physical education teacher. He recognised the benefit of physical education for women and asked Marie to join him teaching. Together they taught at The Friends’ School and also gave private lessons at Christian’s newly established Bjelke-Petersen School of Physical Culture. Ill health eventually forced Marie to abandon this career, allowing her the opportunity to pursue her long-held ambition to write for a living. A devoted Christian, Marie’s first published books were the religious tracts The Mysterious Stranger (1913) and Before an Eastern Court (1914) followed by Muffled Drums (1914). This genre of books only appealed to some segments of society and Marie turned her talent to writing romance novels. Her first romance novel,The Captive Singer (1917), was set in Tasmania and was highly successful. Marie was one of the first authors to include vivid descriptions of the majestic Tasmanian scenery in her novels, providing excellent publicity for the State. Her other books set in Tasmania included Dusk (1921), Jewelled Nights (1923), Moon Minstrel (1927) and The Rainbow Lute (1932). Jewelled Nights was turned into a film in 1925, another great promotion for Tasmania. Over 250,000 copies of Marie’s books were sold world-wide. Marie Bjelke Petersen lived an independent and successful life full of achievements that were rare for a woman of her era. She remained a proud Tasmanian until her death on 11 October 1969. 6 COLVILLE, MARGARET JEAN AM AWARDED FOR SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY Margaret Jean Colville was born in Victoria on 21 July 1943. She met her husband Jim at a Melbourne church, where he was a Minister in training and Margaret a member of the choir. They moved to Tasmania in 1967. They have four children. Margaret has long been committed to her community. Her involvement became even more focused after the birth of her third child who has Down syndrome. Her drive for services and support for parents of children with Down syndrome led her to establish Towers Incorporated, a multifunctional service for people with special needs; Toy Town, a toy library for children with disabilities; and the Down Syndrome Association of Tasmania. Margaret is a strong advocate for people with special needs. For many years, doctors referred parents of newly born Down syndrome babies to meet with Margaret. She passed her skills onto others who continue this work today. In 1973, Margaret assisted her husband Jim when he founded Colony 47. She held office both nationally and locally with the Australian Association of Special Education and Down Syndrome Association. She also was President of the Hobart Zonta Club. Margaret served on the Guardianship and Administration Board of Tasmania for ten years, before being appointed Deputy Public Guardian in the Office of the Public Guardian in 1998, a position she still holds. She brings to the role her supportive and warm personality as well as her immense insight into the needs of those with special needs. Margaret, with her husband, has also spent ten years restoring their historic home ‘ Bangalor’ in Bagdad. The cottage and gardens are often visited by community groups for fundraising purposes. Margaret was named as a Member of the Order of Australia in 2002 for her service to people with disabilities, particularly through Towers Incorporated, Toy Town: Toy and Equipment Library and the Down Syndrome Association of Tasmania. 7 CRISP, MARY MURDOCH AWARDED FOR SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY Mary Murdoch Crisp was born in Hobart on 30 April 1924.

  • Papers on Parliament No. 17
    Housekeeping the State Women and Parliamentary Politics in Australia Marian Sawer I have taken the title for today's lecture, 'Housekeeping the State', from Catherine Spence, whose photograph appears in the 'Trust The Women' exhibition curated by Ann Millar and currently on view in Parliament House. I shall begin with a sketch of Catherine Spence, based on the biographical work done by Susan Magarey, as an introduction to today's theme. Spence arrived in South Australia from Melrose in Scotland in 1839 when she was fourteen years old. A year later she witnessed what is believed to have been the first public election in the world conducted using proportional representation (PR) - an election for the Adelaide Municipal Corporation.1 Spence's father had become Clerk to the Corporation and she later recalled in her autobiography how he had explained to her the bearings of this unique system for minority representation. Later again she became Australia's most active advocate of PR, promoting the ideas of Thomas Hare and John Stuart Mill on the subject and visiting them in London together with Rowland Hill, who had been responsible for the use of PR in Adelaide back in 1840. They enthusiastically endorsed the pamphlet she had prepared, A Plea for Pure Democracy, which was designed to popularise this election method. By the 1850s, after a period working as a governess and teacher, Spence had become a writer, publishing (anonymously) novels such as Clara Morison. A later novel, Handfasted, was submitted for a prize offered by the Sydney Mail but rejected as 'calculated to loosen the marriage tie'.

Conclusion 247 Bibliography 251 Appendices 260 i Abstract While all houses of Australian parliaments using proportional representation use the Single Transferable Vote arrangement, district magnitudes (the numbers of members elected per division) and requirements for casting a formal vote vary considerably. Early chapters of this thesis analyse election results in search for distinct patterns of proportionality, the numbers of effective parties and partisan advantage under different conditions. This thesis argues that while district magnitude remains the decisive factor in determining proportionality (the higher the magnitude, the more proportional the system), ballot paper numbering requirements play a more important role in determining the number of (especially) parliamentary parties. The general pattern is that, somewhat paradoxically, the more freedom voters have to choose their own preference allocations, or lack of them, the smaller the number of parliamentary parties. Even numbered magnitudes in general, and six member divisions in particular, provide some advantage to the Liberal and National Parties, while the Greens are disadvantaged in five member divisions as compared to six or seven member divisions.

  • Response to COVID-19
    Response to COVID-19 Student numbers, risk mitigation and the issue of fees, credits and refunds The issue of how members are dealing with student numbers, risk management and particularly, fees (see point 3 at page 3), has generated many queries. There is no uniform measure amongst the colleges and halls, however, here is a brief national snapshot provided by the Executive Committee and Dr Brenda Holt (Melbourne chapter). Further information will be provided as it becomes available. 1. Student numbers ACT ANU residents, especially domestic students, in the range of Halls, Colleges, Houses and Lodges have been encouraged to return home if safe to do so. As at 6 April there were still some 2,200 students in residence on campus, many of course international students unable to return home. John XXIII College has closed, with a small number of residents transferred to Wright Hall. New South Wales Numbers are down at all University of Sydney colleges ranging from St John’s full closure from 8 April to significantly fewer numbers at other colleges. St Andrew’s is accommodating just 22 (of 390) students. Students at UNSW’s halls of residence who have been unable to leave have been relocated to apartments with ensuites. Residency levels at UNSW’s Shalom College, New College and New College Postgraduate Village are approximately 50%. Levels at Warrane and Creston would be somewhat higher. Queensland Cromwell has paused operations until further notice and International House has closed operations with around twenty students in residence. St John’s has 15 students in self catered accommodation.
