David was a staunch supporter of the CMAA Dand proudly held the positions of Federal Councillor and Federal Executive Member from 1998 to 2003. His dedication to the success of the CMAA – directly and indirectly – will always be remembered and acknowledged for the success that the CMAA achieved during his part of that stewardship. It has to be acknowledged David also will be remembered for his tireless pursuit of auction items – a task he undertook for many years for the Association’s Ted Noffs Charity Fundraiser Day. As a gentleman who possessed a very warm sense of humour, a kind and generous spirit and a strong earthy approach to David Graham life’s successes and failures, David was a friend to many. He was extremely popular with his CMAA colleagues and trade suppliers along with his coterie of friends that would meet regularly at Rockdale RSL Club where David was the Secretary Manager for more than 20 years. To David’s family – his wife Noelene, his son Stewart and daughters Lisa and Linda – the CMAA extends there sincere condolences on behalf of everyone in “club land” who had the pleasure of meeting and working with David Graham. Goodbye and thanks, old friend ... it remains a great honour to have known you and call you my friend. Rest in Peace. 6 Club Management November 2005 Amalgamation brings another page of history to Mounties ounties has formally outlined said Mounties and Harbord Diggers the proposed amalgamation have held harmonious talks and the Mof the club with Harbord best interests of Mounties members Diggers Memorial Club Ltd, otherwise have been paramount in negotiations. known as Harbord Diggers. “Mounties has approached this Mounties has recommended its opportunity in a very responsible members approve the proposal, as manner, having received advice from outlined to them in a letter sent its financial and legal consultants, Mr recently by the club.

  • House of Assembly Wednesday 2 May 2018
    Wednesday 2 May 2018 The Speaker, Ms Hickey, took the Chair at 10 a.m., acknowledged the Traditional People, and read Prayers. QUESTIONS Royal Hobart Hospital - Emergency Department Issues Ms WHITE question to PREMIER, Mr HODGMAN [10.02 a.m.] Did you know that yesterday there were 63 patients stuck in the emergency department at the Royal Hobart Hospital, patients were being treated in three corridors, and there were 10 ambulances ramped? This is bad for patients and bad for stressed staff. If anything, it looks like this winter will be worse than last winter. Why was the hospital not escalated to level 4, as staff were asking for? Was there political pressure not to escalate due to the parliament resuming? ANSWER Madam Speaker, I thank the Leader of the Opposition for the question but would cast a very healthy level of scepticism over any suggestions from her as to what this Government might do other than ensure we get on with the job of delivering on our record level of investment and commitments that will go to delivering the health service, which is improving under our Government and that we promised in the election. That is what we are focusing on. We recognise that there are pressures on the health system. That is why, with our budget back in balance, we have been able to commit a record amount over the last four years, $7 billion in the last budget and $750 million, to boost our efforts to improve the health system Tasmanians need. We will need to not only build the health system and the infrastructure to support it - Members interjecting.

  • The Unbalancing of Australian Universities
    1 THE UNBALANCING OF AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITIES Richard Davis September 2002 ‘We university teachers have let our values slip and that is why the university is disintegrating around us. It will not come to life again as a true community, with a purpose of its own which it understands and believes in, until we, as individual persons and in our groups, set ourselves to the task of examining the foundations of our beliefs.’ Sir Keith Hancock (1954)1 The Problem of Australian Academia in the 21st Century Nearly fifty years after the eminent Australian historian, Sir Keith Hancock, raised the issue Australian Universities are in turmoil. Barely a week passes without news of underfunding, staff and student dissatisfaction or the intrusion of corporate demands into scholarly activity. The pages of papers like the Australian Higher Education Supplement teem with the jargon and rhetoric of educational privatisation and depict the bizarre commercialized offshoots of public universities. Student beer-drinking, no longer a diversion from study, becomes a constitutent part of a beer brewing course.2 TV comedy shows like Peter Berner’s Backburner exploit academic gyrations for an easy laugh. The Bob Connolly and Robin Anderson 2001 documentary, Facing the Music, graphically depicts the total demoralisation of the renowned Sydney University Music Department after persistent financial cuts. La Trobe University’s Music Department, with an excellent research record, is abolished.3 While Australian public opinion firmly rejects the entry of refuge-seeking ‘boat people’, it requires an influx of full fee-paying foreign students to shore up its ailing tertiary education structure.4 Pressure is applied to adapt standards.

  • Contrasting Paths: Political Careers of Labor and Liberal State Party Officials
    CONTRASTING PATHS: POLITICAL CAREERS OF LABOR AND LIBERAL STATE PARTY OFFICIALS STEPHEN MILLS, UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY When Robert Menzies convened the Canberra Conference in October 1944 to unite the diverse fragments of non-Labor politics into a national party, he made clear his respect for the governing Labor Party’s organisational model. Addressing an audience familiar with war, Menzies employed military metaphors to describe Labor as a “concerted force with one command and with one staff”; he suggested non-Labor could not prevail in the “political warfare” with their “divided units under separate command, and with no general staff”. Listing the “defects” in non-Labor’s organisational structure, Menzies’ first item was the lack of a Federal organisation, “which means we have no Federal secretariat, and therefore no true nexus between the Federal Parliamentary Party and those who are to do the political work in the field” (Starr, 1980, p. 75). Seeking a Federal Director to head up this inaugural federal secretariat, the Liberals found a real brigadier for its general staff. Don Cleland was a Perth lawyer and perennially unsuccessful conservative candidate for parliament; he was also an experienced wartime military administrator, where he had risen to the rank of brigadier as a quartermaster in North Africa and New Guinea. Appointed in October 1945, Cleland lost his first campaign in 1946 - and Menzies returned to the theme of Labor’s superior campaigning methods: “We need to face up to the fact that the Labor Party has a clever set of advertising tradesmen at work in the centre.” The Liberals then hired Labor’s advertising agent, Sim Rubensohn, whose long-running campaign of anti-Labor radio and print advertising helped the Liberals to victory in 1949.

  • House of Assembly Thursday 25 June 2020
    PARLIAMENT OF TASMANIA HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY REPORT OF DEBATES Thursday 25 June 2020 REVISED EDITION Thursday 25 June 2020 The Speaker, Ms Hickey, took the Chair at 10 a.m., acknowledged the Traditional People and read Prayers. QUESTIONS Hobart Showgrounds Renewal Project Ms WHITE question to PREMIER, Mr GUTWEIN [10.03 a.m.] COVID recovery will require an approach that considers all regions and all sectors of the economy. Labor has consulted extensively to identify existing projects and new proposals that could be fast-tracked to create jobs, promote social and economic renewal, and create a better and fairer Tasmania. Our COVID recovery package has now been submitted to your Premier's Economic and Social Recovery Council. One of the projects we have put forward to consideration is the Hobart Showgrounds renewal project, which is the result of funding provided by your Government to produce a master plan for that site. This exciting proposal presents a great opportunity to redevelop the site to provide more than 500 new homes, including affordable housing and community areas, a new exhibition venue and improved recreational spaces. The renewal project will create hundreds of jobs and help put a roof over the head of more than 1000 people. With this project now enjoying bipartisan support, will you commit to providing funding in the upcoming Budget to help make it a reality? ANSWER Madam Speaker, I thank the Leader of the Opposition for that question. I thank the Opposition for at least taking the time to actually put something together - Mr O'Byrne - Are you damning us with faint praise, Premier? Mr GUTWEIN - You are spot on.

  • Imagereal Capture
    FW Guest Memorial Lecture 1994 THE POTENTIAL POWER OF COMMITTEES IN A. "HUNG" PARLIAMENT PROFESSOR DOUGLAS J WHALAN AM* Francis William Guest, MA, LLM, was the first Professor ofLaw and the first full-time Dean ofthe Faculty ofLaw in the University ofOtago, serving from 1959 until his death in 1967. As a memorial to Professor Guest a public lecture is delivered each year upon an aspect oflaw or some related topic. A SMALL PIECE OF REMINISCENCE I am here tonight as the F. W. Guest Memorial lecturer because the Council of the University of Otago made a better decision in choosing Professor Francis William Guest as the Foundation Professor of Law than in appointing tonight's Guest Memorial lecturer. Yes, at age 29 I applied unsuccessfully for the foundation chair of law in the University of Otago. Exactly 35 years ago today I received a letter dated 2 August 1959 from my friend Frank Guest. I knew and greatly respected him as a lawyer who, in the best traditions of the profession, was always willing to give his time and advice to us younger practitioners when we sought his help. I also knew him as a highly qualified philosopher and I knew of his reputation as a meticulously careful and inspired law teacher, for I was just too old to be a student of his. His letter to me of 2 August 1959 shows his kindness, thoughtfulness, humanity and humility. After all this time, I don't think Frank would chide me for putting these parts of it on the historical record: "Dear Doug, [Y]ou probably know by now that I have been appointed to the Chair.
