Compilation of 2020 Summit Submissions 1 Governance Stream 2020 Summit Submissions of Relevance to Beyond Federation Draft in progress as at June 2009 [Compiled by Mark Drummond in August and September 2008 based on submissions presented at http://www.australia2020.gov.au/submissions/home.cfm, and then spell-checked and corrected as best as possible in June 2009] The tables on the following pages refer to the 790 Governance Stream submissions on display at the 2020 Summit website at http://www.australia2020.gov.au/submissions/home.cfm as at 11 September 2008, though please note that these 790 submissions include four submissions that are repeated on this 2020 Summit website and a further five submissions in which no Governance Stream submission was actually provided. These tables include Submission ID codes, Publication Names (i.e. names of submitters), extracts considered relevant to Beyond Federation objectives, and brief codes under the heading of "Relevant?" that describe the nature of relevance to Beyond Federation objectives. The relevance codes used are as follows: N = not relevant, though this in no way implies that the submission lacks merit, but, rather, that it doesn't cover ground relating to BF objectives (submissions dealing purely with the Republic issue or media issues, for example) YA = submissions which explicitly support the abolition of State governments and a move to a system comprising national governments and regional and/or local governments at the sub-national level. YC = submissions that nearly offer explicit support for the abolition of State governments, but don't quite make this support fully clear. Ynat = submissions that call for national laws (including a national Bill of Rights) and national systems (generally under national government control) in health, education, the environment etc. Yloc = submissions that call for constitutional recognition of local government and/or strengthening of local government (or local community government) Ynat, Yloc = submissions that qualify for both the Ynat and Yloc relevance codes as above. Yrev = submissions that call for a review of Australia's current system of government in ways that suggest that they are supportive of or at least open to reforms that BF supports – specifically, the reforms captured by the YA, YC, Ynat and Yloc codes as above. Y = submissions calling for some form of reform that is known to be of interest to at least some BF members but such that none of the above relevance codes seem apt. All submissions considered relevant to BF objectives are assigned a code beginning with the letter "Y", and all of these relevant submissions have been allocated just the one relevance code at this stage except for the Ynat and Yloc codes, where "Ynat, Yloc" refers to submissions that have been assigned both the Ynat and Yloc relevance codes. The assignment of relevance codes is not an exact process, and may be improved upon for a later version of this compilation, but for the vast majority of submissions the selection of codes has seemed a fairly clear-cut and simple process, such that it's considered likely that most people will agree with at least the vast majority of code allocations made here. A coding hierarchy among the Ynat, Yloc and Yrev codes has been established such that Ynat and Yloc are assigned 2 a higher priority than Yrev, but Ynat and Yloc are assigned equal priority. In practice this means that if a submission is considered relevant to BF objectives but the YA and YC codes are not deemed suitable, the submission will be assigned (1) the Ynat code (alone), the Yloc code (alone), or the combined "Ynat, Yloc" code, if it calls for a national approach in one or more areas of government responsibility and/or constitutional recognition of local government and/or strengthening of local government in some other way, and (2) the Yrev code if it doesn't qualify for Ynat and/or Yloc as just described but does call for a review of Australia's system of government – especially in terms of the distribution of powers between levels of government and the boundaries that define sub-national units of government. The full compilation of submissions follows the brief summary tables shown on the next two pages. The first of these summary tables is based on the full set of 790 submissions provided at http://www.australia2020.gov.au/submissions/home.cfm as at 11 September 2008, and the second summary table is based on the 781 submissions provided at http://www.australia2020.gov.au/submissions/home.cfm as at 11 September 2008 less four repeated submissions and five submissions in which there was no Governance Stream submission as noted above. 3 Summary of 2020 Summit Governance Stream Submissions in Terms of Beyond Federation Relevance – all 790 Governance Stream Submissions as Listed on the 2020 Website Percentage of All 790 Number of Relevance Code Governance Stream Comments Submissions Submissions includes five in which no Governance Stream N 447 56.6 submission was actually provided: submissions 419, 2490, 3553, 3984 and 4722 includes one repeated submission (counted twice here) : YA 91 11.5 submission 1000480 is same as 1000542 YC 43 5.4 includes three repeated submissions (each counted Ynat (i.e. Ynat only) 81 10.3 twice here): 869-900, 7747-1000376 and 8473-100377 Yloc (i.e. Yloc only) 27 3.4 Ynat, Yloc (i.e. both Ynat and Yloc) 7 0.9 Yrev 47 5.9 Y 47 5.9 Total 790 100 YA + YC 134 17.0 Ynat-all = Ynat only + (Ynat, Yloc) 88 11.1 Yloc-all = Yloc only + (Ynat, Yloc) 34 4.3 Ynat-tot = YA + YC + Ynat-all 222 28.1 all these submissions support national approaches all these submissions call for a bigger role for Yloc-tot = YA + YC + Yloc-all 168 21.3 local/regional governments Yrev = YA + YC + Ynat + Yloc + (Ynat, Yloc) + Yrev 296 37.5 Yall-tot = YA + YC + Ynat + Yloc + (Ynat, Yloc) + Yrev + Y 343 43.4 4 Summary of 2020 Summit Governance Stream Submissions in Terms of Beyond Federation Relevance – the 781 Submissions Listed on the 2020 Website Excluding Four Repeated Submissions and Five Submissions in which no Governance Stream Submission was Actually Provided Percentage of All 781 Number of Relevance Code Governance Stream Comments Submissions Submissions N 442 56.6 YA 90 11.5 YC 43 5.5 Ynat (i.e. Ynat only) 78 10.0 Yloc (i.e. Yloc only) 27 3.5 Ynat, Yloc (i.e. both Ynat and Yloc) 7 0.9 Yrev 47 6.0 Y 47 6.0 Total 781 100 YA + YC 133 17.0 Ynat-all = Ynat only + (Ynat, Yloc) 85 10.9 Yloc-all = Yloc only + (Ynat, Yloc) 34 4.4 Ynat-tot = YA + YC + Ynat-all 218 27.9 all these submissions support national approaches all these submissions call for a bigger role for Yloc-tot = YA + YC + Yloc-all 167 21.4 local/regional governments Yrev = YA + YC + Ynat + Yloc + (Ynat, Yloc) + Yrev 292 37.4 Yall-tot = YA + YC + Ynat + Yloc + (Ynat, Yloc) + Yrev + Y 339 43.4 5 Submission Summit or Further Publication Name Extracts of Relevance to Beyond Federation Relevant?

Yrev Any substantial amendment should, wherever appropriate, again have multiple choices. And, if the new constitution continues to divide the country into a small (even) number of States, it is an excessive demand that amendment should require a majority of voters in a majority of states. In a country of the size and diversity of Australia, it seems inevitable that the constitution should envisage a second level of government - States, Territories, or Provinces. To change existing boundaries would probably cause unnecessary conflicts.

  • The Deakinite Myth Exposed Other Accounts of Constitution-Makers, Constitutions and Citizenship
    The Deakinite Myth Exposed Other accounts of constitution-makers, constitutions and citizenship This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2005 Geoffrey Trenorden BA Honours (Murdoch) Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. …………………………………….. Geoffrey Trenorden ii Abstract As argued throughout this thesis, in his personification of the federal story, if not immediately in his formulation of its paternity, Deakin’s unpublished memoirs anticipated the way that federation became codified in public memory. The long and tortuous process of federation was rendered intelligible by turning it into a narrative set around a series of key events. For coherence and dramatic momentum the narrative dwelt on the activities of, and words of, several notable figures. To explain the complex issues at stake it relied on memorable metaphors, images and descriptions. Analyses of class, citizenship, or the industrial confrontations of the 1890s, are given little or no coverage in Deakinite accounts. Collectively, these accounts are told in the words of the victors, presented in the images of the victors, clothed in the prejudices and predilections of the victors, while the losers are largely excluded. Those who spoke out against or doubted the suitability of the constitution, for whatever reason, have largely been removed from the dominant accounts of constitution-making. More often than not they have been ‘character assassinated’ or held up to public ridicule by Alfred Deakin, the master narrator of the Conventions and federation movement and by his latter-day disciples.

  • The Constitutional Conventions and Constitutional Change: Making Sense of Multiple Intentions
    Harry Hobbs and Andrew Trotter* THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTIONS AND CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGE: MAKING SENSE OF MULTIPLE INTENTIONS ABSTRACT The delegates to the 1890s Constitutional Conventions were well aware that the amendment mechanism is the ‘most important part of a Cons­ titution’, for on it ‘depends the question as to whether the state shall develop with peaceful continuity or shall suffer alternations of stagnation, retrogression, and revolution’.1 However, with only 8 of 44 proposed amendments passed in the 116 years since Federation, many commen­ tators have questioned whether the compromises struck by the delegates are working as intended, and others have offered proposals to amend the amending provision. This paper adds to this literature by examining in detail the evolution of s 128 of the Constitution — both during the drafting and beyond. This analysis illustrates that s 128 is caught between three competing ideologies: representative and respons ible government, popular democracy, and federalism. Understanding these multiple intentions and the delicate compromises struck by the delegates reveals the origins of s 128, facilitates a broader understanding of colonial politics and federation history, and is relevant to understanding the history of referenda as well as considerations for the section’s reform. I INTRODUCTION ver the last several years, three major issues confronting Australia’s public law framework and a fourth significant issue concerning Australia’s commitment Oto liberalism and equality have been debated, but at an institutional level progress in all four has been blocked. The constitutionality of federal grants to local government remains unresolved, momentum for Indigenous recognition in the Constitution ebbs and flows, and the prospects for marriage equality and an * Harry Hobbs is a PhD candidate at the University of New South Wales Faculty of Law, Lionel Murphy postgraduate scholar, and recipient of the Sir Anthony Mason PhD Award in Public Law.

  • The Making of Australian Federation: an Analysis of the Australasian Convention Debates, 1891, 1897-1898
    The Making of Australian Federation: An Analysis of The Australasian Convention Debates, 1891, 1897-1898 By Eli Kem Senior Seminar: Hst 499 Professor Bau-Hwa Hsieh June 15, 2007 Readers Professor Narasignha Sil Professor David Doellinger Copyright Eli Kem 2007 I The English constitution played a pivotal role in the shaping of the Australian constitution. This paper seeks to demonstrate the validity of this claim through an analysis of the debates in the Australian colonies of 1891-1898 and through emphasizing inter alia the role payed by one of the delegates Alfred Deakin. The 1890 Australasian Conference, held in Melbourne, had been instigated by a conference in England in 1887 where all the colonies of Britain met. The 1890 conference represented the British colonies in the region of Southeast Asia. Seven delegates from each of the seven colonies in the region met, and forced the question of unification of the colonies. Independence from Britain was not on their mind, only uniting to have one common voice and an equal stake within the Commonwealth of the United Kingdom. At the conference, the delegates initiated a discussion for the path to unification that would continue until 1901. The colonies had written a constitution in 1891, and debates took place in 1891, 1897, and 1898 with the lapse in debate due to an economic depression. By 1901 the colonies had agreed on a constitution and it was ratified by an act of Parliament in Britain, which allowed the five colonies on Australia and Tasmania to unify. Essentially, the debate centered on the distribution and balance of power among the states.

  • 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.

For obvious reasons it would be invidious for me to record my impressions of the Court from that time onwards. The article reviews the work of the Court and endeavours to convey a picture of the contribution and personality of some of the individual Justices. The article concludes with the statement that the Court has achieved the high objectives of which Alfred Deakin spoke in his second reading speech on the introduction of the Judiciary Act 1903 (Cth). The Court has established its reputation as one of the world’s leading courts of final appeal and has fulfilled its role alongside the Parliament and the executive in our constitutional framework.] CONTENTS I Introduction.............................................................................................................864 II In the Beginning......................................................................................................865 III The Early High Court..............................................................................................866 IV Conflict with the Executive ....................................................................................867 V Conflict with the Privy Council ..............................................................................868

Among the essential characteristics of any genuine federal system the first and perhaps the most indispensable is dualism of sovereignty.4 The government of Australia is a dual system based upon a separation of organs and powers. The maintenance of the States and their powers is as much an object of the Constitution as the maintenance of the Commonwealth and its powers.

  • The Sydney French Club, 1885–1893
    30 THE SYDNEY FRENCH CLUB, 1885 TO 1893 LES HETHERINGTON In March 1893 author Robert Louis Stevenson, visiting from his Samoan island home, could say that he owed Sydney’s Cosmopolitan Club ‘the expense of the journey to Paris and back’ as lunch there satisfied his ‘Samoan dream’ of entering a French restaurant, drinking good wine and meeting French gentlemen. But in little more than six months the Club was gone,1 and an institution that dated back almost nine years had gone with it. The Club had been founded as the ‘French Association’ and formally established in January 1885. However, for most of its life, more than five years from 1886 until early 1891, it had been known as the Cercle français, or French Club, transforming into the Cosmopolitan Club only in early 1891. Despite Stevenson’s comments so late in its life, the club has been largely overlooked in histories of the French community in Australia. It has been concluded on the period up to 1914 that ‘the concentration of the French in the urban areas of New South Wales and Victoria, that is mainly in Sydney and Melbourne, did not even promote any sense of solidarity among them’ and that ‘nearly every settler had a story of his own, not linked with another Frenchman’, so that the ‘increase of the French population was not accompanied by any development of group settlement …’. The French were not supposed to be ‘interested in recreating La France in the Antipodes, in meeting their fellow countrymen or in promoting ethnic group activities…’ (Stuer 1982, 147, 137 & 165; Jupp 2001, 359).

  • A Tale of Two Ships: the Mv Tampaand the Ss Afghan
    Stephen Gageler* A TALE OF TWO SHIPS: THE MV TAMPA AND THE SS AFGHAN ABSTRACT This article tells the tale of two events of constitutional significance: the arrival in 1888 of steamer the SS Afghan into Sydney Harbour and the entry in 2001 of Norwegian containership the MV Tampa into Australian territorial waters. More than 100 years apart, these incidents raised parallel issues about the scope of the executive power to control entry into Australia and the role of courts in the formulation and implementation of migration policy. I INTRODUCTION he international movement of people has become in the second decade of the 21st century a source of increasing tension between nations and within Tgroupings of nations. It has also become a source of increasing tension within nations between national institutions. Disagreement within and between politic­ ally accountable branches of government over the formulation of migration policy has been accompanied in a number of countries by conflict between politically accountable branches of government and judicial branches of government over the implementation of migration policy. Migration litigation has emerged as a battle­ ground in which courts and executives have at times been the principal adversaries. Although it is a distinction the merits of which remain controversial, the fact is that Australia has been at the forefront of the recent global move to tighten restrictions on the entry of foreign nationals. Here, as elsewhere, conflicts over the implementation of migration policy have manifested in institutional conflicts which have played out in the courts. My intention in this article is to draw some parallels between some events of national constitutional significance in Australia in the early part of the 21st century and some events of colonial constitutional significance in New South Wales in the late part * Justice of the High Court of Australia.
