    A 'Common-Sense Revolution'? the Transformation of the Melbourne City

    A ‘COMMON-SENSE REVOLUTION’? THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE MELBOURNE CITY COUNCIL, 1992−9 A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April, 2015 Angela G. Munro Faculty of Business, Government and Law Institute for Governance and Policy Analysis University of Canberra ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis is the culmination of almost fifty years’ interest professionally and as a citizen in local government. Like many Australians, I suspect, I had barely noticed it until I lived in England where I realised what unique attributes it offered, despite the different constitutional arrangements of which it was part. The research question of how the disempowerment and de-democratisation of the Melbourne City Council from 1992−9 was possible was a question with which I had wrestled, in practice, as a citizen during those years. My academic interest was piqued by the Mayor of Stockholm to whom I spoke on November 18, 1993, the day on which the Melbourne City Council was sacked. ‘That couldn’t happen here’, he said. I have found the project a herculean labour, since I recognised the need to go back to 1842 to track the institutional genealogy of the City Council’s development in the pre- history period to 1992 rather than a forensic examination of the seven year study period. I have been exceptionally fortunate to have been supervised by John Halligan, Professor of Public Administration at University of Canberra. An international authority in the field, Professor Halligan has published extensively on Australian systems of government including the capital cities and the Melbourne City Council in particular.

    Part 5. the Battle of Bet Bet 1986-1988

    The New Dissenters The Renewal of Victorian Goldfields Agitation in the 20th Century Part Five The Battle of Bet Bet 1986-1988 The Battle of Bet Bet was about a local government placing a whole new layer of approvals and bonds on Miner’s Right Claims and Leases. It also tried to introduce a set of heritage overlays they effectively shut down the shire in respect of mining. It culminated a period of intense anti-mining ideology. Prior, in the years 1986 and 1987 there was a near unbelievable continuous inflow of argument and expectations about mining law, rights and amendments. This included intense activity from land protection groups and the government with its rapidly multiplying departments. The only people who did not go on the anti-mining attack were the small-scale gold miners, who found themselves continuously on the defensive against further restrictions and losses. Underlying and disguised by all of this chaos and regulatory tinkering was a new threat which appeared to be simply another review of mining. Stephen Barnham Copyright Stephen Barnham 2011 The author asserts the moral right to be identified as the author of this work, and owner of this intellectual property. DEDICATION To the previously unrecognised people who worked so hard to try and protect Victoria’s gold prospecting and small-scale gold mining heritage and those who realise the importance of understanding your own history. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS John’s wife Nola Winter who had the foresight not to throw out numerous documents when John Winter died.

    Report on the Judicial Conduct and Complaints System in Victoria

    THE JUDICIAL CONDUCT AND COMPLAINTS SYSTEM IN VICTORIA A REPORT Professor Peter A Sallmann Crown Counsel for Victoria Dec 2003 Dedication This report is dedicated to the memory of the late Richard E McGarvie AC QC, leading barrister, Supreme Court Judge, University Chancellor, Governor of Victoria and noted constitutional and political reformer, who made a huge contribution to the conduct of public affairs in Australia. Of special significance in the context of this report is his substantial influence on the development of the judicial branch of government in Australia and judicial administration in general. He was a member of the Judicial System Committee of the Constitutional Commission, a founding father of both the Australian Institute of Judicial Administration (AIJA) and the Judicial Conference of Australia (JCA) and, through a host of inquiries and committees, led many significant judicial administration reform initiatives. His numerous papers and published articles on key aspects of judicial administration are standard reading for students and judicial system practitioners alike. Richard McGarvie, who died in May this year, and the author of this report were good friends and judicial administration colleagues. They worked closely together on a number of justice system projects over the years. He contributed significantly to this particular report by providing various ideas and suggestions at key stages of the review. P.S. The Judicial Conduct and Complaints System in Victoria: A Report 2 About the Author Peter Sallmann is Crown Counsel for Victoria. He was the inaugural Executive Director of the Australian Institute of Judicial Administration (AIJA) from 1987-96 and before that he taught law and criminal justice at La Trobe University, and was a full-time Commissioner with the Law Reform Commission of Victoria.

    Samuel Griffith Society Proceedings Vol 10

    Chapter One A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Referendum Sir David Smith, KCVO, AO On Friday, 13 February, 1998, in the House of Representatives Chamber of Old Parliament House, Canberra, republican delegates to the 1998 Constitutional Convention began to clap and cheer and embrace each other as the vote on the final resolution was taken. Spectators in the public gallery stood and cheered with them. But in the months that have followed, the republican euphoria has dimmed, even for some who had so enthusiastically joined in the clapping and the cheering and the embracing back in February. Not only have some of them predicted that the referendum to turn this country into a republic will fail: some have even dared to suggest that it will be a disaster for Australia if the referendum is carried. The final resolution recommended to the Prime Minister and the Parliament that the republican model supported by the Convention be put to the people in a constitutional referendum. This resolution received the votes of 133 of the 152 delegates. It was supported by delegates representing Australians for Constitutional Monarchy because we, too, want the issue of the republic settled once and for all. We welcome the opportunity to have it taken out of the hands of the various elites who have controlled and stifled the debate to date, and to have it put to the Australian people.1 Of more significance was the preceding resolution, which called for the Convention to support the adoption of the Turnbull republican model in preference to our present constitutional arrangements.
