  • The Administration of the Juvenile Correction System Reverted to the Institutional Practices More Characteristic of the Middle of the Nineteenth Century
    1 . ‘UNENLIGHTENED EFFICIENCY’: THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE JUVENILE CORRECTION SYSTEM IN NEW SOUTH WALES 1905-1988 Thesis for Doctorate of Philosophy University of Sydney Peter Quinn, January, 2004 2 Certification I certify that this work has not been submitted for a degree to any other university or institution and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, contains no material previously published or written by any other person, except where due reference has been made in the text. Peter Quinn January, 2004. 3 ABSTRACT This work traces the history of the juvenile correction system in twentieth century New South Wales, focusing on the evolution of major reforms aimed at curbing delinquency. The study begins in 1905 with the Neglected Children and Juvenile Offenders Act. It concludes in 1988, when another set of significant reforms, designed to deal with perceived inadequacies of the established system, commenced. The main focus of the thesis is the government system of corrections. Although there was an active non - government correction system, this sector was increasingly absorbed by the larger public sphere. The principal argument is that, although there were sporadic periods during which changes to the system were made, its progress through most of the twentieth century was characterised by an underlying attitude which regarded the boys and girls it dealt with, particularly those committed to institutions, as belonging to an inferior, delinquent class. As such, they were treated as the progeny of a criminal class destined for the most part to remain part of that class. This idea of a delinquent class coloured all aspects of the way juveniles were treated, specifically lack of resources, the dominance of economic considerations over the welfare of children, excessive regimentation, harsh discipline and illegal punishments.

  • Corporations, Crime and Accountability Theories of Institutional Design
    Corporations, Crime and Accountability Theories of institutional design SERIES EDITOR Robert E. Goodin Research School of Social Sciences Australian National University ADVISORY EDITORS Brian Barry, Russell Hardin, Carole Pateman, Barry Weingast, Stephen Elkin, Claus Offe, Susan Rose-Ackerman Social scientists have rediscovered institutions. They have been increasingly concerned with the myriad ways in which social and political institutions shape the patterns of individual interactions which produce social phenom- ena. They are equally concerned with the ways in which those institutions emerge from such interactions. This series is devoted to the exploration of the more normative aspects of these issues. What makes one set of institutions better than another? How, if at all, might we move from a less desirable set of institutions to a more desir- able set? Alongside the questions of what institutions we would design, if we were designing them afresh, are pragmatic questions of how we can best get from here to there: from our present institutions to new revitalised ones. Theories of institutional design is insistently multidisciplinary and inter- disciplinary, both in the institutions on which it focuses, and in the methodol- ogies used to study them. There are interesting sociological questions to be asked about legal institutions, interesting legal questions to be asked about economic institutions, and interesting social, economic and legal questions to be asked about political institutions. By juxtaposing these approaches in print,

  • Political Corruption, Accountability and the Media: a Study of Motives and Justifications
    Political corruption, accountability and the media: A study of motives and justifications by Stephen John Tanner B.A., M.A. Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Tasmania June 1999 This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any tertiary institution and that to the best of my knowledge and belief, this thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference is made in the text of the thesis. Stephen J. Tanner Authority of Access !his thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying m accordance with the Copyright Act 1968 . Stephen Tanner June 4, 1999. Abstract Political corruption, accountability and the media: a study oi motives and justifications This thesis is about political corruption. Specifically it is concerned with two issues: (1) the way in which people alleged to have committed a corrupt act seek to justify their actions; and (2) how the media report the process of allegation and justification which invariably occurs when such an issue becomes public. In short the thesis is about accountability processes as they apply in Australia to elected public officials, particularly political leaders. The thesis uses a single case study - the so-called Metherell affair in New South Wales - to argue that public figures will invariably struggle to justify conduct which has been labelled corrupt. The Metherell affair represents an important case study because it illustrates how behaviour can be variously interpreted by different groups and individuals.

  • Factions and Fractions: a Case Study of Power Politics in the Australian Labor Party
    Australian Journal of Political Science, Vol. 35, No. 3, pp. 427– 448 Factions and Fractions: A Case Study of Power Politics in the Australian Labor Party ANDREW LEIGH Of ce of the Shadow Minister for Trade, Canberra Over the past three decades, factions have cemented their hold over the Australian Labor Party. This has largely been due to the entrenchment of the proportional representation of factions. One of the effects of the institutionalisa- tion of factions has been the development of factional sub-groupings (‘frac- tions’). This article analyses the phenomenon by looking at a case study of a single ALP faction—the Left in New South Wales. Since 1971, two major fractions have developed in the NSW Left, based on ideological disagreements, personality con icts, generational differences and arguments over the role of the union movement in the ALP. This development parallels the intra-factional splits that have occurred in many other sections of the Labor Party. Yet the factional system in the 1980s and 1990s operated relatively effectively as a means of managing power. The question now is whether it can survive the challenge of new issues that cross-cut traditional ideological lines. Introduction Factionalism in the Australian Labor Party (ALP) is a phenomenon much remarked upon, but little analysed. Like the role of the Ma a in Italian politics, few outside the system seem to understand the power networks, whilst few inside are prepared to share their thoughts with the outside world. Yet without understanding factions, it is impossible to properly comprehend the Labor Party. Every organisation, and certainly every political party, contains organised power groupings.

INSIDE THE STATE 387 FULL ABSTRACT 404 BIBLIOGRAPHY 420 2 Acknowledgments I wish to express my appreciation to those whose insight and assistance made the completion of this thesis possible. During the period I have worked on this thesis, I have been an employee of the Criminal Justice Branch (later Criminal Law Branch) of the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Department. My supervisors have allowed me several periods of extended leave, and my colleagues have carried a considerable burden of additional work in covering for my absences. The professionalism, enthusiasm, thoughtfulness and intelligence of these colleagues has been a constant source of inspiration and insight. They have given me an incredible opportunity to work at the heart of federal criminal justice policy for the better part of a decade, and I have learned a lot from all of them. Among those to whom my thanks are due are Sarah Chidgey, Geoff Dabb, Andrew Egan, Maggie Jackson, Laurel Johnson, Geoff McDonald, Ricky Nolan, Suesan Sellick, Geoff Skillen and Anastasia Tearne. I should add that neither these officers, nor anyone else in the Attorney-General’s Department, saw or vetted any part of this thesis prior to submission, and nor did I discuss the specific content with them.

  • The Challenge to Medical Autonomy and Peer Review Embodied in the Complaints Unit/Health Care Complaints Commission of New South Wales
    THE CHALLENGE TO MEDICAL AUTONOMY AND PEER REVIEW EMBODIED IN THE COMPLAINTS UNIT/HEALTH CARE COMPLAINTS COMMISSION OF NEW SOUTH WALES David Gervaise Thomas Submitted July 2002 Supervisors Associate Professor Gerard Sullivan, School of Policy and Practice, Faculty of Education, University of Sydney Dr Craig Campbell, School of Policy and Practice, Faculty of Education, University of Sydney A thesis submitted in satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Faculty of Education, University of Sydney ABSTRACT The exercise of autonomy and self-regulation is seen in the literature as one of the basic criteria of professionalism. Since in modern states Medicine has generally been the occupational grouping which has most completely attained that status, it is seen as the model or archetype of professionalism. This study focuses on just one aspect of medical autonomy, that relating to the right of medical professionals to be accountable only to their fellow professionals as far as the maintenance of practice standards are concerned. In this thesis, the theory underlying this system of "peer review" is examined and then its application during the course of the 20th century is traced in one particular jurisdiction, that of the State of New South Wales in Australia. The reason for the focus on NSW is that in this jurisdiction, medical autonomy existed and was exercised in a particularly pure and powerful form after it was instituted in 1900. However, it was also in NSW that for the first time anywhere in the world, an institutional challenge to medical disciplinary autonomy emerged with the establishment in 1984 of the "Complaints Unit" of the Department for Health.

  • The Modern Legislative Council Committee System – David Clune
    Keeping the Executive Honest: The Modern Legislative Council Committee System – David Clune Department of the Legislative Council NSW part one A COMMEMORative MONOGRAPH: Part One of the Legislative Council’s Oral History Project Marking 25 years of the committee system in the Legislative Council President’s foreword Over recent decades we have witnessed the increasing importance of parliamentary committees in systems of government across the world. This trend is especially evident in the NSW Legislative Council, where committees are pivotal to the effective governance of this State. It is appropriate then that we commemorate the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Council’s first Standing Committees, an event that was not only seminal in enhancing Parliamentary democracy in New South Wales but has influenced developments in other states. The Legislative Council’s commemorative monograph: Keeping the Executive Honest draws on the memories of five former Members who were integral to the establishment of the modern committee system in the Council: Max Willis, Liz Kirkby, Lloyd Lange, John Hannaford and Ron Dyer. Dr Clune’s monograph locates the genesis of the committee system in the momentous reforms to the Council in 1978 when, for the first time, Members were popularly elected. The Council’s renaissance continued with its transformation to a full time House and the advent of its modern committee system in 1988. Keeping the Executive Honest is the first instalment of the Legislative Council’s Oral History Project. I look forward to future monographs which will explore many other fascinating aspects of the history of Australia’s first Parliament, as remembered by the very people who have shaped its evolution as a dynamic institution of deliberative democracy.

    Tribute by Rodney Cavalier VALE RON MULOCK 1930-2014 Officer of the Order of Australia Captain De La Salle (Marrickville) First XI St George CC, Waverley CC and Cumberland CC Alderman Penrith City Council 1965-71 Mayor of Penrith 1968-71 Member of the Parliament of New South Wales 1971-88 Minister in the Wran and Unsworth Governments 1976-88 Admirers of cricket and sportsmanship, Ron Mulock passed from our midst peacefully in his sleep during Thursday night 04-09-2014 (Australian time). Ron was an opening bowler with a demonic speed. His ability was apparent early. He was Captain of the De La Salle First XI, First XIII and Senior Athletics Champion. Ron played first grade cricket 1949-62 in the Sydney competition. He was opening bowler for St. George, Waverley and Cumberland. In 1959-60 he took 49 wickets which made him the highest wicket-taker for the season. Ron was conscientious, hardworking, kept on top of the paper, and was well regarded by his public servants. Around him was not a whiff of scandal. Cricket and the SCG brought us together. We found ourselves conversing at games and enjoying the conversation. Such civilities we had avoided during our time in parliament. When the people running Cricket NSW took the governance corporate, they decided they had no places at lunch during the Test for their former vice presidents. Places were going to the more important, like sponsors and potential sponsors. The excluded were some distinguished stalwarts of the game, a bracket that included Stan Sismey (Australian Services wicket-keeper) and Maurie Lilienthal, probably the last witness to Stan McCabe's epic 187 not out against Bodyline.
