  • Upholding the Australian Constitution Volume Nineteen
    Chapter Six The Politics of Federalism Ben Davies In 1967 Sir Robert Menzies published Central Power in the Australian Commonwealth. In this book he adopted the labels coined by Lord Bryce to describe the two forces which operate in a federation—the centripetal and the centrifugal. For those uneducated in physics, such as myself, centripetal means those forces which draw power towards the centre, or the Commonwealth, whilst centrifugal forces are those which draw power outwards towards the States. Menzies remarked that these forces are constantly competing against each other, and that the balance between them is never static.1 Not surprisingly, his view in 1967 was that the centripetal forces had well and truly predominated during the previous 66 years of Federation. Of course, he would not need long to reach the same conclusion were he to consider the same question now, 40 years later. Essentially there are three levels on which these two forces exert themselves. The first and most fundamental is the legal level, which describes the constitutional structures which determine the federal balance. On questions of federalism this Society has since its inception quite rightly concentrated most on this level of federalism, as it is at this level that the most profound changes have occurred. It is also the most influential level, as it sets the boundaries within which the other two levels can operate. The second level is what I would call the financial level, and this level concerns itself with the question of the relative financial powers of the States and Commonwealth. In particular, this level is characterised by the ever-increasing financial dominance of the Commonwealth relative to the States, and the “vertical fiscal imbalance” with which the States have had to contend for most of their existence since Federation.

  • Final Submission – Western Distributor Tunnel Project EES Process by (Dr) Pat Love, Geoff Hjorth, Marlene Monahan, Jacob Holley, Jenny Harrison
    1 Final Submission – Western Distributor Tunnel Project EES Process By (Dr) Pat Love, Geoff Hjorth, Marlene Monahan, Jacob Holley, Jenny Harrison 1. Achieving the Project Objectives 1.1 Why are we doing this project? (slide 3) The EES identifies four objectives as targets that this project is designed to meet: (3) Improve transport performance in M1 Corridor Reduce reliance on West Gate Bridge Improve freight access to the Port of Melbourne Improve community amenity on local streets in inner west All of these are worthy goals. If transport is understood in its broadest sense – road, rail and active transport - then improving connectivity and providing transport options and building in network resilience is important for our long-term economic sustainability and liveability. However, this submission holds that this project of itself will not achieve all these aims. It is essentially a road project. It is transport in its narrowest definition. The addition of cycling infrastructure is window- dressing, and will not of itself ensure that more people of the M1 Corridor take up more active transport options, such as walking and cycling. The WDA presentation did not allude to any other city in the world taking these or similar steps to solve the future problems of amenity, transport connectivity and resilience. Melbourne is not the only city in the world with a traffic congestion problem. Is London proposing to build urban freeway through Shoreditch to the City? Is New York building an expressway through Manhattan? Not since Jane Jacobs defeated Robert Moses in protecting the Village. Where were references either in the EES or in the Business Case to the successful examples of cities other than Australia’s east coast capitals and US car-dependent mega-sprawl cities? The short answer is, there are none.

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.

Drawing on published work in urban social history and urban policy analysis, as well as a wide range of archival sources, it provides an account of the defeat of this freeway proposal through community protest and the exertion of political pressure on government.
