This thesis has not been suBmitted for any degree or other purposes. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources have Been acknowledged. ______________________________________________________________ Andrew Mason-Jones 2 This thesis is dedicated to my dad, Nicoll Mason-Jones, who served in Vietnam from 1967 to 1968. 3 Thesis ABstract Between 1968 and 1971 the Australian government, under the leadership of Prime Minister John Gorton, began to rethink its foreign and defence policy: from one that had as its central tenet a strong relationship with ‘great and powerful friends’ and fighting communism in Asia, to one that saw Australia withdraw from overseas military action in Vietnam and take on a greater degree of self-reliance. This rethink was thrust on Gorton by British and American announcements to play a lesser role in Southeast Asian affairs, announcements that meant, in effect, the collapse of Australia’s Cold War policy. Such changes in relation to British and American intentions to remain engaged in the region prompted a wave of unprecedented national soul-searching in Australia, a key part of which was the task of re-setting the coordinates of Australian defence policy towards a more self- reliant posture.

  • William Mcmahon: the First Treasurer with an Economics Degree
    William McMahon: the first Treasurer with an economics degree John Hawkins1 William McMahon was Australia’s first treasurer formally trained in economics. He brought extraordinary energy to the role. The economy performed strongly during McMahon’s tenure, although there are no major reforms to his name, and arguably pressures were allowed to build which led to the subsequent inflation of the 1970s. Never popular with his cabinet colleagues, McMahon’s public reputation was tarnished by his subsequent unsuccessful period as prime minister. Source: National Library of Australia.2 1 The author formerly worked in the Domestic Economy Division, the Australian Treasury. This article has benefited from comments provided by Selwyn Cornish and Ian Hancock but responsibility lies with the author and the views are not necessarily those of Treasury. 83 William McMahon: the first treasurer with an economics degree Introduction Sir William McMahon is now recalled by the public, if at all, for accompanying his glamorous wife to the White House in a daringly revealing outfit (hers not his). Comparisons invariably place him as one of the weakest of the Australian prime ministers.3 Indeed, McMahon himself recalled it as ‘a time of total unpleasantness’.4 His reputation as treasurer is much better, being called ‘by common consent a remarkably good one’.5 The economy performed well during his tenure, but with the global economy strong and no major shocks, this was probably more good luck than good management.6 His 21 years and four months as a government minister, across a range of portfolios, was the third longest (and longest continuously serving) in Australian history.7 In his younger days he was something of a renaissance man; ‘a champion ballroom dancer, an amateur boxer and a good squash player — all of which require, like politics, being fast on his feet’.8 He suffered deafness until it was partly cured by some 2 ‘Portrait of William McMahon, Prime Minister of Australia from 1971-1972/Australian Information Service’, Bib ID: 2547524.

  • MEDIA RELEASE: 'Don Parties On' by David Williamson
    MEDIA RELEASE: 'Don Parties On' by David Williamson http://m0o6i5d6y5.mailerlite.com/m3l8q0/ Holden Street Theatres www.holdenstreettheatres.com MEDIA RELEASE: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 2016 'DON PARTIES ON' by David Williamson David Williamson's sequel to his smash hit comedy and classic Australian play and film 'DON'S PARTY'. 40 years later Don and the gang are back for another election night party and ready to prove all over again that politics, strong personalities and drinking create the perfect cocktail; a Molotov cocktail... Don's original party was held on federal election night in 1969 when a very young Gough Whitlam fought a close battle against Prime Minister, John Gorton. 'Don Parties On' is set on election night in 2010 when Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott locked horns and delivered a hung parliament and headaches as big as a 'Don's Party' hangover. There are curious similarities between the 1969 and 2010 election campaigns. Both Gorton and Gillard were leading their parties as unelected Prime Ministers. Gorton was appointed as PM by the Liberal Party following the mysterious disappearance of Harold Holt while swimming, and Gillard became the Labor Party PM following the infamous coup which toppled Kevin Rudd. It would seem that sharks swim just as well in parliament as they do in the sea. Both Gorton and Gillard went to the electorate, the voting public turned against them and in both instances they retained their leadership by the narrowest of threads. Sadly, for them the threads were too fine and neither survived the circling sharks within their own party rooms and neither led their party to the next election.

  • Proceedings of the Twenty-Fifth Conference of the Samuel Griffith
    Chapter Four Independents and Minor Parties in the Commonwealth Parliament J. B. Paul I accepted Julian Leeser’s invitation to address the Society on this subject without a second thought. Had I thought twice about it I might have queried him on a vexing problem: how to compress this subject into a presentation confined to thirty minutes. It follows that my fully prepared statement will have to be published with the other papers. The first and shorter part of this paper will deal with the House of Representatives; the second and more important part will deal with the Senate. The House of Representatives Two factors have limited the role of Independents and minor parties in the House: it comprises single-member constituencies and two succeeding electoral systems have governed its elections. From 1901 to 1918 the simple majority/plurality system applied. This has been misnamed “first-past-the-post”: a misnomer because there was no fixed post for the winning candidate to get past. Independents found it difficult to top the poll against candidates endorsed by political parties. Independents found their position more favourable under the preferential system introduced in 1918 especially when a seat was being contested by three or more candidates. If the count went to preferences an Independent could move to a winning position from behind with each distribution. Not that this happened often! I would isolate two examples when an Independent has succeeded. In the 1922 election, a prominent leader of the Victorian Bar, J G Latham, KC, contested and won the seat of Kooyong, then held by a grandee of the Nationalist Party, Sir Robert Best.
