  • The First Federal Election
    142 Marian Simms APR 16(1) 1901: the first federal election • Marian Simms •• The first federal election could easily be called the forgotten election. Key historians, such as La Nauze, dismissed it as of little interest, for it was not a ‘conventional election’ 1. Contemporary players, notably Deakin, gave it scant attention in their otherwise prolific writings. Political historians, such as Dean Jaensch, Peter Loveday, Joan Rydon and Allan Martin devoted their considerable historical energies to colonial and state elections and parties. Interesting fragments, however, are to be found in less fashionable sources, such as the memoirs of George Reid and Robert Garran, a biography of William Morris Hughes and the artist, Tom Roberts’ Unpublished Notebooks for his historical painting of the first Parliament. 2 By delving into such sources and the contemporary record an interesting picture emerges that reinforces one political adage, namely, that ‘all politics is local’. For example, whilst it is true that the overall voter turnout was disappointingly low, on closer inspection the local and state variations are fascinating. This ranged from around 30% in Fremantle (Western Australia) to 97% in Newcastle (New South Wales). In general the turnout was low in the West, probably on account of the late move into the Federation. Sir John Forrest, interviewed by the Sydney Morning Herald (2/4/01) after the election, was despairing about the low turnout: ‘Such apathy was much to be regretted. The interest in the elections was not equal to that of the Perth Mayoral elections.’ Australian voters went to the polls in 1901 very much as electors from the different states, under different laws, different ballot papers and on different days.

    POLITICS Biographies of politicians in mid-career are an interesting Bobby Burns Is Late gamble. The revelations contained in Blanche D’Alpuget’s biography of Bob Hawke did him no harm with the electorate, whereas Christine Wallace’s life of John Hewson turned many Beverley Kingston readers against him. Those who distrust Carr and believe him to be too opportunistic will find confirmation here. But the Bob Carr portrait of the working-class boy who has dragged himself up WHAT AUSTRALIA MEANS TO ME by his own determination and hard work could win sympathy. Penguin, $9.95pb, 76pp, 0 14 300160 4 The opening sentences capture the quintessential Carr.

Parkes Carr’s life. But so are self-discipline, invoked by the image of published his own poems and wrote two earnest vol- the boy studying late into the night and schooling himself N through numerous political disappointments, usually engi- umes of autobiography. Carr, so far, has tried his hand at a novel, a memoir and a diary, as well as writing lots of neered by the disastrous Graeme Richardson, to keep slog- occasional pieces.

They are concerned with battles-in Egypt, Gallipoli, France, and Palestine; with the activities of the young Australian navy; with medical services; with the occupation of territory formerly under German government. Substantially the greater part of those works relates to what was done by Australian soldiers, sailors, medical officers, and administrators outside their own country, though on duties vitally affecting Australia and the Empire to which she belongs.

  • BOOK I-AUSTRALIA at WAR CHAPTER 1 If
    BOOK I-AUSTRALIA AT WAR CHAPTER 1 THE OUTBREAK OF WAR ON the 30th of June, 1914, the Australian daily newspapers contained cablegrams announcing the startling fact that two days previously the heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian empire, the Archduke Frariz Ferdinand, together with the Archduchess, had been assassiiinted at Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia, by a Serbian political desperado. The news was, of course, published under large headlines in the journals. Obviously an important event in world politics had occurred. Some serious consequences might be expected to follow. But nobody in Australia dreamt that this crime committed in the Balkans was of momentous concern for this country. If anyone had suggested that nearly 60,000 men in the prime of life and physical capacity were marked for death, and that 140,000 more would suffer maiming, as a consequence of what had happened at Sarajevo, his prediction would have seemed too absurd for credence. Where was Sarajevo? It is likely that many Australians had never even heard of the place, though memories of a school geography lesson, or study of the map of Europe, may have brought the name to the minds of a few. Shakespeare did not know where Bohemia was: in a stage direction at the head of Act 3, Scene 3, of The IVinter’s Tale, he referred to it as “Bohemia, a desert country near the sea,” though it is an inland country with no seaboard whatever. Where Shakespeare tripped we shall intend no reproach if we assume that Australians were not very well informed about a remote town in a small Balkan state.

  • The Prime Minister Who Never Was: Sir William Lyne and the Politics of Federation
    Chapter One The Prime Minister Who Never Was: Sir William Lyne and the Politics of Federation Big, bluff, ebullient William Lyne never became Prime Minister, but he came very close. He holds the dubious distinction of having been the only person to have held the Governor- General’s commission without succeeding to the office. The popular history tells us that the approach to Lyne to become the first Prime Minister was the result of vice-regal ineptitude: an ill-informed newcomer to the new role of Governor-General disregarding the political circumstances and offering the job to the Premier of the largest and oldest colony, New South Wales. That Lyne had been considered an opponent of Federation appeared not to have entered the thoughts of John Adrian Louis Hope, the seventh Earl of Hopetoun, in what we have come to know as the ‘Hopetoun blunder’.1 But to dismiss the episode as such is to miss the complexities and nuances of the situation which unleashed a series of power plays that demonstrated clearly that while the Federal issue had been resolved, the tensions, strains and enmities developed in its making persisted – and would continue to resonate for another decade at least. What was achieved in the cause of unity also brought division. One of the key players in the Federation process, and a participant in the protracted and divisive controversies that attended the issue in New South Wales, Bernhard Wise, noted years later that …Lord Hopetoun’s error introduced into the first Federal Parliament much of the bitterness which had been the unenviable distinction of the Parliament of New South Wales, and gave a tone to Commonwealth politics from which they did not recover for several years.2 It was the eruption of these tensions that doomed Lyne’s short-lived bid for the prime ministership; he was the first victim of the politics of Federation.
