    Undergraduate Scholarships 20111 Letter from the Vice-Chancellor Access to good education can make a huge difference to your life and the life of your family and wider community. Being the first person in your family to go to university is possible — I know, I was that person in my family. Education provided me with many opportunities as I’m sure it has for many others. Opportunity and support make all the difference. Students from a variety of backgrounds continue to be under-represented in universities because circumstances work to deprive them of that opportunity and support. Through our exciting scholarship program, Macquarie University wants to ensure that equality of opportunity extends to everyone with the ability to benefit from higher education. If you think you can’t afford to study at Macquarie, come and talk to us. We have a strong commitment to supporting students who need financial assistance and have dedicated services to support you during your study.

    BECAUSE SHE’S A WOMAN: GENDER STEREOTYPES AND WOMEN’S PARTICIPATION IN AUSTRALIAN POLITICS KATHRYN GOOCH 2015 A dissertation by Kathryn Gooch, BA (Hons.), University of Western Sydney Submitted for the degree requirements of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY under the supervision of: Dr Kate Gleeson, PhD Senior Lecturer, Macquarie Law School and Professor Marion Maddox, PhD, PhD ARC Future Fellow, Modern History, Politics and International Relations, Macquarie University and Dr Judy Lattas, Interdisciplinary Gender Studies, Macquarie University. July, 2015 Candidate Declaration I certify that the thesis entitled Because She’s A Woman: Gender Stereotypes and Women’s Participation in Australian Politics and submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Politics is my own work. It is the result of my own research, except where otherwise acknowledged, and has not previously been submitted as part of the requirements for a higher degree to any institution other than Macquarie University. I declare that all information sources and literature used are appropriately acknowledged. Signature: ………………………………… Date: ……………………… Student ID: 41683110 i Acknowledgements My acknowledgement and gratitude is first directed to Professor Marion Maddox, whose gentle guidance was integral to my completion of this thesis. Marion’s consistent confidence in my research was especially encouraging. I once remarked to Marion that simply being in her presence was calming and inspiring; this, along with Michael’s perfect coffees, is to be blamed for my tendency to stretch out our supervision meetings. I have learned a great deal more from Marion than I could have anticipated: about research and academy; politics, the media and cynicism; and how much personality chickens have.

Michael Kirby AC, CMG MACQUARIE UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL 40TH ANNIVERSARY SYDNEY, 19 OCTOBER 2012 A.R. BLACKSHIELD AND REALISM IN AUSTRALIAN CONSTITUTIONAL LAW* THE HON MICHAEL KIRBY AC CMG** IN THE BEGINNING As befits a pupil, I honour a teacher who helped to ready me for a life in the law. He helped me to see law, especially public and constitutional law, in its governmental and political context. He was one of the early professors of law at the Macquarie University Law School. But before that, in his first years of undergraduate teaching at the University of Sydney Law School, he taught a class that included Murray Gleeson, David Hodgson, Graham Hill, Jane Matthews, Brian Tamberlin, me and others. In Professor Blackshield’s hands were placed two future Justices of the High Court of Australia, judges of the New South Wales Court of Appeal and of the Federal Court and other Federal and State courts, two future professors of law, leading businessmen, politicians and legal practitioners.1 Great is the responsibility of the teachers who introduce untutored law students to the concepts of law that will dominate their lives, so important for their society. Great is the debt that we, the students owe to our teachers, including Tony Blackshield. * Inaugural Tony Blackshield Lecture, 2012. ** Justice of the High Court of Australia (1996-2009); President of the New South Wales Court of Appeal (1984-1996); Judge of the Federal Court of Australia (1983-84); Chairman of the Australian Law Reform Commission (1975-84).
