ISBN 0 7311 5984 5 Front endpaper: Audit Office staff, 1907. Back endpaper: Audit Office staff, 2001. iii Foreword he year 2001 assumed much significance for the Victorian Auditor-General’s Office as Tit marked the 150th anniversary of the appointment in July 1851 of the first Victorian Auditor-General, Charles Hotson Ebden. In commemoration of this major occasion, we decided to commission a history of the 150 years of the Office and appointed Dr Peter Yule, to carry out this task. The product of the work of Peter Yule is a highly informative account of the Office over the 150 year period. Peter has skilfully analysed the personalities and key events that have characterised the functioning of the Office and indeed much of the Victorian public sector over the years. His book will be fascinating reading to anyone interested in the development of public accountability in this State and of the forces of change that have progressively impacted on the powers and responsibilities of Auditors-General. Peter Yule was ably assisted by Geoff Burrows (Associate Professor in Accounting, University of Melbourne) who, together with Graham Hamilton (former Deputy Auditor- General), provided quality external advice during the course of the project. -

Queens Bridge Street (originally called Moray Street North, along with City Road, provided the main access into South and Port Melbourne from the city when the only bridges available for foot and wheel traffic were the Princes the Falls bridges. The Kearney map of 1855 shows land north of City Road (then Sandridge Road) as poorly-drained and avoided on account of its flood-prone nature. To the immediate south was Emerald Hill. The Port Melbourne railway crossed the river at The Falls and ran north of City Road. By the time of Commander Cox’s 1866 map, some industrial premises were located on the Yarra River bank and walking tracks connected them with the Sandridge Road and Emerald Hill. -
Lowe Kong Meng and the Legacy of the July 1880 Election
CHAPTER 2 Chinese Political Values in Colonial Victoria: Lowe Kong Meng and the Legacy of the July 1880 Election Paul Macgregor Abstract Lowe Kong Meng, pre-eminent merchant and community leader of goldrush Melbourne, was active in Australian politics, self-regarded as a British subject yet engaged with the Qing dynasty, and was likely the first overseas Chinese awarded rank in the Chinese imperial service. Victoria’s mid-1880 election was a watershed: the immediate aftermath was the re-introduction of regulations penalising Chinese, after over 15 years of free immigration and no official discrimination. After the election it was claimed that Lowe Kong Meng persuaded Victoria’s Chinese to vote for the government, but was it in his interests to do so? This chapter examines the nature of Lowe Kong Meng’s engagement in European and Chinese political activity in the colony, as well as the extent of his leadership in Chinese colonial and diasporic life. It further explores how much Lowe Kong Meng could have used that leadership to influence electoral outcomes. The chap- ter also examines how Lowe Kong Meng and the wider Chinese population of the col- ony brought changing political agendas to Victoria and developed these agendas through their colonial experiences. Keywords Chinese in Australia – Chinese political activity – colonial Victoria Several members of the House are reported to have been indebted to the Celestial vote at the late contest. Kong Meng, in gratitude for having been made an Exhibition Commissioner, helped to distribute circulars written in Chinese denouncing the Liberal party, and used his influence with the same object, so that his countrymen throughout the Colony polled to a man wherever they could for the party of ‘law and order’. -
A Colonial History of the River Murray Dispute
Adam Webster* A COLONIAL HISTORY OF THE RIVER MURRAY DISPUTE ABSTRACT This article examines the history of the dispute over the sharing of the waters of the River Murray between the colonies, with particular emphasis on the period from the mid-1880s to the mid-1890s. The article shows that the change in water use by the colonies during this period had a signifi- cant impact on the question of how the water should be shared between the colonies. The article examines the early legal arguments regarding the ‘rights’ of the colonies to the waters of the River Murray and argues that these early legal analyses influenced the drafting of the Australian Consti- tution, which in turn has influenced the way similar disputes between the states are resolved today. I INTRODUCTION alk of reducing the flow of the waters of the River Murray evokes strong emotions in South Australians, and especially in their members of parliament.1 TThis is not a recent phenomenon and has been the case since colonial times.2 This article examines the history of the dispute over the sharing of the waters of the River Murray between the colonies, with particular emphasis on the period from the mid-1880s to the mid-1890s. I argue that this period, in the lead up to the Austra- lasian Federal Conventions of the 1890s, shaped the Convention debates, which in turn influenced the drafting of the Australian Constitution and the way in which the issue of the sharing of the waters of the River Murray between the states has been dealt with since Federation. -

It is a story, which is worth the telling, of a time when high ideals inspired men to effort, and may repeat itself sooner than we think in a struggle for the closer Union of the British peoples. If the names of the actors be unfamiliar to English readers, let it be remembered that Galt, George Brown, Tupper, and John A. -

TARIFF PROTECTION AND POLITICS: CASTLEMAINE 1870-1901 by Joan Mildred Hargreaves BA (Hons.) SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS FACULTY OF ARTS DEAKIN UNIVERSITY APRIL 1999 Produced on acid-free paper III DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to the memory of my father, John A. Hargreaves. IV ABSTRACT This study, set within the contextual background of Victorian politics, ‘seeks to identify the economic, political and social implications of tariff protection for the Castlemaine region from 1870-1901. The introduction of the Victorian tariff in 1865 precipitated a reversal of earlier attitudes towards protection by politicians and their constituents. Reasons are sought for changes in the perceptions of the Castlemaine electorate and its political representatives towards the tariff between 1870 and Federation. An examination has been made of the role of the tariff in the creation of employment in the region’s primary and secondary industries together with its influence on politicians, primary and secondary industry leaders and workers. -
