THE OLD EDITORS. Jpl| EORGE ARDEN, the Co-Proprietor and Editor of the Gazette, was an accomplished and florid writer, not only as a journalist, but as a pamphleteer. The literary power of which he was capable was unballasted by experience, and, there was no mental brake to keep him within bounds. He had for a time the sole newspaper at his command; but he was absorbed by an inordinate self-sufficiency, and lacked perseverance. When newspapers were small, and their success mainly depended on the active personal supervision of the editor, Arden, who understood little of, and cared less for, journalistic minutice, was satisfied when he supplied an elaborate "leader." He was also much given to libelling, and falling into trouble thereby. In 1839, he was convicted and fined; in 1841, he was committed for trial, but the prosecution was abandoned; in 1843, he was again convicted of libel in connection with the first Corporation selections, and his brilliant and splenetic tirades against the first Resident Judge (Willis), though powerful agents in the ultimate un-benching of the official, proved the ruin of the writer. -

Apart from any use permitted under the Copyright Act, no part may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted by any means or process whatsoever without prior written permission. ISBN 0 7311 5984 5 Front endpaper: Audit Office staff, 1907. Back endpaper: Audit Office staff, 2001. iii Foreword he year 2001 assumed much significance for the Victorian Auditor-General’s Office as Tit marked the 150th anniversary of the appointment in July 1851 of the first Victorian Auditor-General, Charles Hotson Ebden. In commemoration of this major occasion, we decided to commission a history of the 150 years of the Office and appointed Dr Peter Yule, to carry out this task. The product of the work of Peter Yule is a highly informative account of the Office over the 150 year period. Peter has skilfully analysed the personalities and key events that have characterised the functioning of the Office and indeed much of the Victorian public sector over the years. His book will be fascinating reading to anyone interested in the development of public accountability in this State and of the forces of change that have progressively impacted on the powers and responsibilities of Auditors-General. Peter Yule was ably assisted by Geoff Burrows (Associate Professor in Accounting, University of Melbourne) who, together with Graham Hamilton (former Deputy Auditor- General), provided quality external advice during the course of the project. -
Irish in Australia
THE IRISH IN AUSTRALIA. BY THE SAME AUTHOR. AN AUSTRALIAN CHRISTMAS COLLECTIONt A Series of Colonial Stories, Sketches , and Literary Essays. 203 pages , handsomely bound in green and gold. Price Five Shillings. A VERYpleasant and entertaining book has reached us from Melbourne. The- author, Mr. J. F. Hogan, is a young Irish-Australian , who, if we are to judge- from the captivating style of the present work, has a brilliant future before him. Mr. Hogan is well known in the literary and Catholic circles of the Australian Colonies, and we sincerely trust that the volume before us will have the effect of making him known to the Irish people at home and in America . Under the title of " An Australian Christmas Collection ," Mr. Hogan has republished a series of fugitive writings which he had previously contributed to Australian periodicals, and which have won for the author a high place in the literary world of the. Southern hemisphere . Some of the papers deal with Irish and Catholic subjects. They are written in a racy and elegant style, and contain an amount of highly nteresting matter relative to our co-religionists and fellow -countrymen under the Southern Cross. A few papers deal with inter -Colonial politics , and we think that home readers will find these even more entertaining than those which deal more. immediately with the Irish element. We have quoted sufficiently from this charming book to show its merits. Our readers will soon bear of Mr. Hogan again , for he has in preparation a work on the "Irish in Australia," which, we are confident , will prove very interesting to the Irish people in every land. -

TARIFF PROTECTION AND POLITICS: CASTLEMAINE 1870-1901 by Joan Mildred Hargreaves BA (Hons.) SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS FACULTY OF ARTS DEAKIN UNIVERSITY APRIL 1999 Produced on acid-free paper III DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to the memory of my father, John A. Hargreaves. IV ABSTRACT This study, set within the contextual background of Victorian politics, ‘seeks to identify the economic, political and social implications of tariff protection for the Castlemaine region from 1870-1901. The introduction of the Victorian tariff in 1865 precipitated a reversal of earlier attitudes towards protection by politicians and their constituents. Reasons are sought for changes in the perceptions of the Castlemaine electorate and its political representatives towards the tariff between 1870 and Federation. An examination has been made of the role of the tariff in the creation of employment in the region’s primary and secondary industries together with its influence on politicians, primary and secondary industry leaders and workers. -
The Victorian Country Party, 1917 to 1945
OF MEASURES AND MEN The Victorian Country Party, 1917 to 1945 Antony Lamb A Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Institute for Social Research Faculty of Life and Social Sciences Swinburne University of Technology 2009 ABSTRACT This thesis is concerned with how the Country Party in Victoria from its formation in 1917 until 1945 differed from its counterparts in the other states and federally and formed alliances with the Labor Party to restrict the conservative parties (variously named) to the opposition benches. The often close cooperation of the non-Labor parties federally and in other states was rarely replicated in Victoria. The central argument of the thesis is that the ‘difference’ in the political behaviour of the agrarian party in Victoria was the product of five related factors. First, the harsh farming conditions in the Mallee and Wimmera regions often led farmers to adopt more political ‘radical’ stances (especially over wheat marketing) than elsewhere in Australia. Second, Victoria manifested a very high level of anti-Melbourne electoral malapportionment during the period under review, which aided the Country Party. Third, the local Labor Party had a prolonged gestation and was particularly weak, being unable to form a majority government until 1952. Fourth, the Liberal/Nationalist/United Australia Party in Victoria was notably conservative and was heavily influenced by Melbourne financial and Western District pastoral interests. Fifth, all the Victorian parties (including the Country Party) were highly schismatic which helped produce an unstable political environment in which minority parties could exercise influence beyond their parliamentary numbers or their voter support. -

The Corio Oval Tribe: a Prosopographical Perspective of the Geelong Football Club in the Nineteenth Century
1 The Corio Oval Tribe: A Prosopographical Perspective of the Geelong Football Club in the Nineteenth Century Mark Pennings is a senior lecturer in Art & Design at Queensland University of Technology. Email: [email protected] Robert Pascoe is Dean Laureate and a Professor of History at Victoria University, Melbourne. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Geelong, Victoria’s second city, soon lost out in the competition with Melbourne to dominate the young colony formed in 1851. The ‘Pivot City’ continued to serve as the entrepot for Victoria’s squattocracy based in the lush Western District of the colony, but failed to capitalise on the wealth generated by Victoria’s famous goldrushes of the 1850s. However, an important aspect of Geelong’s cultural identity was its Australian Rules football club in 1859, which was supported by squatting families and was soon based at Corio Oval. The success of this club proved to be important to the psyche of the city, and that success began in 1878 after the demise of its working‐class rival, Barwon Football Club, and when a wider cross‐section of players was added to the Geelong Football Club ‘tribe’. Introduction One of the unsolved puzzles of Australian Rules football history is the consistent success of the Geelong Football Club. The new code of football proved popular in all four southern colonies of Australia, but in none of the other regional centres (including Kalgoorlie/Boulder in Western Australia) did a non‐metropolitan club prove as successful as Geelong. And, as one of the Victorian Football League’s eight foundation clubs of 1897, Geelong also eclipsed football‐mad Ballarat, which had boasted up to four clubs during the colonial period, but failed to win a place in the champion competition. -
