Heritage Note Parliament of Victoria
Parliamentary Library & Information Service Department of Parliamentary Services Heritage Note Parliament of Victoria No. 2, October 2016 Liquor, temperance and legislation: The origins of six o’clock closing in Victoria during WWI Liquor legislation in Victoria has always been a lively area of the law and it was particularly the case during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Long before the start of the First World War, various groups promoting abstinence from alcohol had brought pressure to bear on the Victorian Parliament. Numerous temperance organisations, churches and social reformers waged tireless campaigns against alcohol consumption, having some success but never achieving a total prohibition on alcohol at federal or state level in Australia.1 Over the years, a number of state parliamentarians were also prominent in the temperance debates. In 1915, the Parliament legislated to change the closing times of Victorian hotels from 11.30pm to 9.30pm, and then to the earlier closing time of 6pm in 1916. The six o’clock closing time was made permanent after the war in 1919 and it remained that way in Victoria for 50 years, until 1966. Early liquor legislation and alcoholic beverages.5 Over a period of many years, temperance interests sought to influence temperance interests Victorian liquor laws, with mixed success. One of The control of liquor licences and trading hours in the earliest temperance groups established in Victoria has been an issue of enduring concern to Melbourne was the Total Abstinence Society, the Parliament. Since separation from New South founded in 1842. The Society embarked on its Wales in 1851, Victoria has amended, reviewed work for ‘the prevention and cure of 6 and rewritten its liquor laws many times. -

Philologically, the word " lark " is traceable from more than one V./A- root; as, for instance, from the sky-lark that mounts in the air, and sings flying. -

T He Hi S Tor Y of St. Kilda
T HE HI S TOR Y OF ST. KILDA FROM ITS FIRST SETTLEMENT TO A CITY AND AFTER 1840 T O 1930 VOLUME I. Compiled by Order of the St. Kilda City Council by JOHN BUTLER COOPER " Aut scribenda agere, aut legenda scribere." " To do what is inset to be recorded, or to write what is worthy to be read." [Inscription taken from the monument of John Stow, London's 16th Century Historian and Topographer] Registered under the Commonwealth Copyright Act, 1912 Melbourne: PRINTERS PROPRIETARY LIMITED 27 LITTLE BOURKE STREET 1931 PREFACE I thank the Councillors of the City of St. Kilda for conferring upon me the distinguished honor of the appointment of Official Historian of the City of St. Kilda. I hope that my work will be considered by them of such merit as to justify their choice of myself for such an important commission. I am indebted to the Town Clerk, Mr. F. W. Chamberlin, for submitting to me old records of St. Kilda that he has, from time to time, patiently collected, and thoughtfully husbanded for historical purposes. In other ways Mr. Chamberlin has given to me generous assistance; and also inspiriting encouragement, in my attempt to complete the difficult task of writing the history, in such a way, as to be worthy of the city. I have endeavored to make, in the text, adequate acknowledgment of any source of important local information that I have happily tapped. Throughout the work I have indicated when it is a surmise I am projecting, so that the reader may not accept a surmise as face value for a fact, and so be misled. -
David Syme the Father of Protection in Australia
David Syme The Father of Protection In Australia By Ambrose Pratt With Introduction By The Hon. Alfred Deakin Illustrated Ward Lock & Co. Ltd. London: Warwick House, Salisbury Square, E.C. Melbourne: Windsor House, MacKillop Street 1908 Digital edition prepared by Gary Edwards in Australia 11th September, 2006. David Syme Introduction By The Hon. Alfred Deakin When a final study of the career of David Syme appears, it must form part of the most memorable chapters in the history of the colony of Victoria and of the making of the Australian Commonwealth. These cannot be written until the lapse of time shall have furnished a sufficient perspective, an array of documents now unpublished, and also allowed the light of subsequent events to rest upon the work done by him during his long and fruitful life. No complete estimate, either of the man or his methods, being possible at present, the book to which these few paragraphs serve as an introduction makes no such pretence. Yet it possesses an immediate interest as well as the enduring value of original materials which cannot be superseded. A biography of this character, published today, comes opportunely while the facts which it chronicles are more in men's minds than they are likely to be years hence, when the freshness of impressions still current will have died away. For many years [begin page vi] past, so far as the public knew, Mr. Syme was The Age and The Age was Mr. Syme. Most Australians had no other knowledge of his life. To him the paper owed everything; its survival, character and policy. -

The Significance of Individual Contributions to the History of Kildonan Unitingcare
The Significance of Individual Contributions to the History of Kildonan UnitingCare. SUBMITTED IN TOTAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY JULY 2018 NATIONAL SCHOOL OF ARTS SHARRON LANE B.A AND M.A. ABSTRACT This thesis explores the history of the Victorian community service organisation which until June 2017 was known as Kildonan UnitingCare, and its historical predecessors, through the prisms of leadership and change. The Neglected and Criminal Children’s Act 1864 established a child welfare system where both the government and private establishments could take charge of children. Successive governments did not merely tolerate these private providers but actively partnered with them, and over the course of two decades this entrenched a decentralised system. The thesis argues that this created an environment where individuals within private organisations could develop new methods of care and use their organisations as a platform to change the nature of the sector more broadly. Kildonan, established in 1881, provides three examples of such significant contributions. Selina Murray MacDonald Sutherland founded the work as a lady missionary at the Scots’ Church in Melbourne, and achieved a position of such prominence that she was able to persuade government to legitimate the work of private child rescuers through legislation, a recognition that was sought but rarely achieved by child rescue advocates in other parts of the world. In the 1950s two more leaders emerged, transforming not only Kildonan but also leading changes across the sector as a whole. Alison Player brought insights from her training as a social worker to lead the planning process that moved the organisation away from a focus on institutional care in the 1950s. -

THE Historical Society of Victoria was established on 21st May, 1909, for the purpose of collecting and publishing material relating to the history of the State of Victoria, and since the October of that year has held monthly meetings, at each of which a paper dealing with some phase of the subject has been read and discussed. The first two of these papers are now given to members and to the public in printed form, to be followed by the remainder in their proper order as means permit of publication. In addition to the holding of meetings in Melbourne, efforts have been made by the Council to bring the Society's objects under notice in other parts of the State, and to induce the formation of sub-centres for the collection of historical material in the country districts.
