SENATE VACANCY Resignation of Senator the Honourable Sir Robert Carrington Cotton, K.C.M.G. Mr Speaker reported the receipt of a message from His E.xcellency the Governor transmitting a copy of a despatch from the President of the Senate notifying a vacancy in the Senate caused by the resignation of Senator the Hon. Sir Robert Carrington Cotton, K.C.M.G. 36 ASSEMBLY--Senate Vacancy Mr Speaker informed the House that pursuant to the provisions of section 15 of the Commonwealth Constitution ancl with the advice of the Excc~~tiveCouncil, His ExceIlency had, on 26th July, 1978, appointed Christopher John Guelph Puplick, to hold the place in- the Senate until the-expiration of fourteen days_-after the beginning of the next session or until the election of a successor, whichever first happens. Mr WRAN (Bass Hill), Premier [2.33]: I move: That this House meet the Legislative Council for the purpose of sitting and voting together to choose a person to hold the place in the Senate ren- dered vacant by the resignation of Senator the Honourable Sir Robert Carring- ton Cotton, K.C.M.G. Mr COLEMAN (Fuller), Leader of the Opposition [2.34]: In supporting this motion I feel it proper, in a completely non-party spirit, to point out and place on record the humiliating position in which this Parliament is now placed in the new procedure which you, Mr Speaker, have referred to in the filling of casual vacancies in the Senate. I am fully aware that the new procedure was adopted by way of referen- dum and was heavily supported in this State. I should like to stress the fact that this Parliament is now simply a rubber stamp for a political party-in one case it will be the Liberal Party and in another case it will be the Labor Party. The Parliament is involved in an empty procedure without any opportunity whatever to exercise its own judgment. The procedure now required to be followed by this Parliament in the filling of a Senate vacancy involves such uncertainties as what is to happen when the former Senator was an independent, or when the former Senator had defected from the party, or where the party has changed its name, or where the party has amalgamated with another party or where the party has disappeared. These are the sorts of uncertainties in the procedures with which we are now involved. Fundamentally the Parliament is placed in a position of not exercising its own judgment but of simply being a rubber stamp. It is pointless for the Parliament to be reduced to following this procedure. Having said that, I support the motion. Mr WRAN (Bass Hill), Premier [2.36], in reply: In response to what the Leader of the Opposition, in a non-partisan and non-political way, has chosen to put to the Parliament I remind honourable members that the procedure being adopted to fill the vacancy for Senator Cotton's seat in the Senate was decided upon by a greater parliament than even the Parliament of New South Wales. It was decided upon by the people of Australia at a referendum duly constituted because of the unsavory spectacle that had been created in New South Wales when the honourable member for WollondiUy was Premier of this State, but worse when a ballroom dancer named Field was appointed by a Premier called Bjelke-Peterson to fill a vacancy in the federal Senate. That appointment did not reflect the wishes of the people of Queensland any more than the former Liberal Government's filling of the vacancy caused by the retirement of a Senator who is now Mr Justice Murphy of the High Court of Australia reflected the wishes of the people of New South Wales. I have said what I have said in a non-political and non-partisan way. Mr HATTON: Mr Speaker, the situation is- m SPEAKER: Order! The Premier has spoken in reply and therefore the debate is Cad. Motion agreed to. Senate Vacancy-1 5 August, 1978 37 Message Motion (by Mr Wran) agreed to: That the following message be sent to the Legislative Council: Mr President- The Legislative Assembly having resolved to meet the Legislative Council for the purpose of sitting and voting together to choose a person to hold the place in the Senate rendered vacant by the resignation of Senator the Honourable Sir Robert Carrington Cotton, K.C.M.G., requests the Legis- lative Council to name the place and hour for such meeting. SENATE VACANCY Resignation of Senator the Honourable James Robert Meclelland Mr Speaker reported the receipt of a message from His Excellency the Governor transmitting a copy of a despatch from the President of Senate notifying a vacancy in the Senate caused by the resignation of Senator the Hon. James Robert McClelland. Mr Speaker informed the House that pursuant to the provisions of section 15 of the Commonwealth Constitution and with the advice of the Executive Council, His Excellency had, on 9th August, 1978, appointed Keny Walter Sibraa, to hold the place in the Senate until the expiration of fourteen_daysp&er the beginning of the next session or until the election of a successor, -whichever first happens.

    Political Briefings: - Barry O’Farrell MP, NSW Leader of the Opposition: Thursday 27th May 2010 1) Libertarian and Progressive Conservatism: Concept/Strategy as stated to Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs, Julie Bishop MP, re Chief of Staff emails in late 2009 for then Federal Leader of Opposition, Malcolm Turnbull MP. 2) Tailored Policies/Programmes: Obviously the Federal and NSW political, economic, social and cultural circumstances are different or at least not exactly the same. Sydney’s “regionalism” has historical peculiarities as the “founding city” of the nation. Sydney always looked to the Mother Country, UK, and its colonial “off-shoots: in Tasmania, Victoria, New Zealand and Queensland, and through them to the Pacific Islands in the South West Pacific. NSW was predominantly Free Trade in persepective rather than Protectionist as in Victoria. 3) Political Parties in New South Wales: The ALP – since Sir William McKell MP, Premier 1941-47 a) McKell to Renshaw - Premiers 1941-65 b) Wran and Unsworth – Premiers 1976-88 c) Carr to Keneally – Premiers 1995-2011 The Liberal Party – since Sir Robert Askin MP, Premier 1965-75 a) Pre WW11 – Bertram Stevens 1932-39 b) The Bob Askin years - a decade of alleged “corruption”. c) Greiner and Fahey – 1988-1995 4) Barry O’Farrell – State Leader of the Opposition: a) Comment by Nick Greiner: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/opinion/election-is-the-only-opinion-poll-that- matters/story-e6frg6zo-1225869365983 b) The Rudd/Abbott contest for PM -2010 c) Three/four terms of ‘Good” Liberal Party Government – 2011/27 5) ACCCI Interests a) NSW is “in” the Trade Business – Ministry for Foreign Economic Relations b) Greater Sydney as a World City – one Mayor, many Deputies.

  • John Curtin's War, Volume One: the Coming of War in The
    SPRING / SUMMER 2017 VOL 32.2 John Curtin’s War, Volume One: the coming of war in the Pacific and reinventing Australia by John Edwards. Penguin Viking, 2018, 538 pp, RRP $50.00. David Clune Honorary Associate in the Department of Government and International Relations, University of Sydney _________________________________________________________________________ When lists of Australia’s greatest Prime Ministers are compiled, John Curtin is invariably at or near the top. He is something of a sentimental favourite: the man who waged a continuous, painful struggle against his personal demons; the physically and temperamentally ill-equipped wartime leader who triumphed against expectations; the tragic hero who died on the eve of victory. There have been two previous biographies of Curtin, neither completely satisfactory. Lloyd Ross’ 1977 book was a welcome start, but no more than that - certainly not in the same class as LF Crisp’s Ben Chifley. In 1999, David Day published a lengthy biography of Curtin. Day is a capable historian and indefatigable researcher who falls down in one area: readability. He compulsively and indiscriminately piles up every fact he uncovers, ultimately to stultifying effect. On the evidence of John Edwards’ first volume, Curtin may have at last received the biography he deserves. Certainly, Edwards wins in the good read stakes. He is an elegant stylist, adept at providing context and personal detail without letting it take control of the narrative. It is easy to become absorbed in this book, effortlessly turning page after page. The axis Edwards uses to tell Curtin’s story is that of Australia’s role in the Second World War and the dramatic changes to national security and identity that ensued.

  • A Study of the Art Gallery of New South Wales and Australian
    A Study of the Art Gallery of New South Wales and Australian Aboriginal Art: Aboriginal Perspectives and Representations in State Art Galleries Vanessa Russ Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours), College of Fine Arts, UNSW This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Western Australia School of Architecture, Landscape and Visual Arts May 2013 i Vanessa Russ: Dissertation Abstract This study of the Art Gallery of New South Wales explores the role that Australian Aboriginal art has had in one important state institution. It also provides the groundwork for furthering our understanding of how state art galleries manage their discourses of Australian and Aboriginal identities. The search by Aboriginal people, for belonging and trust in national representations, continues to challenge state art galleries. If as art historian Amelia Jones suggests the notion of art, art history and art institutions are inventions, then such inventions should make room for new art and new art theory (Jones 23). While state art galleries are currently working to generate new displays of Australian art that include Australian Aboriginal art, there remains no complete study of how any state art gallery has managed its Aboriginal collections. This study of the role of Australian Aboriginal art within the Art Gallery of New South Wales provides evidence of personal advocacy as the driving force behind its achievements. Here personal advocacy and by extension, cultural subjectivity, is the key to the creation of an art gallery. ii Vanessa Russ: Dissertation Table of Content 1. Abstract page ii 2.
