  • Melbourne Press Club Laurie Oakes Address 15 September 2017
    MELBOURNE PRESS CLUB LAURIE OAKES ADDRESS 15 SEPTEMBER 2017 Thank you all for coming. And thank you to the Melbourne Press Club for organizing this lunch. Although I’m based in Canberra, I’ve long felt a strong link with this club and been involved in its activities when I can-- including a period as one of the Perkin Award judges. Many of the members are people I’ve worked with over the years. I feel I belong. So this farewell means a lot to me. When I picked up the papers this morning, my first thought was: “God, I’m so old I knew Lionel Murphy.” In fact, I broke the story of his terminal cancer that shut down the inquiry. But making me feel even older was the fact that I’d even had a bit to do with Abe Saffron, known to the headline writers as “Mr Sin”, in my brief period on police rounds at the Sydney Mirror. Not long after I joined the Mirror, knowing nothing and having to be trained from scratch, a young journo called Anna Torv was given the job of introducing me to court reporting. The case involved charges against Mr Saffron based on the flimsy grounds, I seem to recall, that rooms in Lodge 44, the Sydney motel he owned that was also his headquarters, contained stolen fridges. At one stage during the trial a cauliflower-eared thug leaned across me to hand a note to Anna. It was from Abe saying he’d like to meet her. I intercepted it, but I don’t think Anna would have had much trouble rejecting the invitation.

  • A Retrospective View of the 1975 Apsa Conference. I. the Conference and the Authors
    KING GOUGH : MADNESS OR MAGNIFICENCE ? A RETROSPECTIVE VIEW OF THE 1975 APSA CONFERENCE. Professor Roger Scott Kate Wiillson Professor of Publliic Management Snr. Research Offiicer / Tutor, Applliied Ethiics Facullty of Busiiness Facullty of Busiiness / Arts Queenslland Uniiversiity of Technollogy Queenslland Uniiversiity of Technollogy I. THE CONFERENCE AND THE AUTHORS In 2000, I chose to mark the 25th anniversary by a personal project to complement the formal conference on the topic of the Whitlam years held later in the year on the specific anniversary. As President of APSA in that momentous year, I chaired the committee which organised the conference that year, held amid damp conditions at the Canberra CAE. The conference occurred in the hothouse environment of July 1975, a period of unprecedented levels of political uncertainty. Indeed, the very title of the conference, “The First Thousand Days of Labor” devised by John Power inadvertently begged a momentous question: Would Whitlam last beyond his first thousand days? Answer – just, 1074. The attendance at the conference, over 400 including the down-town public servants, was also abnormally large. Finally, the format of the conference, squeezing all contributors into a straight-jacket of a single theme, was also an innovation – and never repeated because some vocal groups felt disenfranchised by its intellectual parochialism. These special characteristics of the conference justify this exercise in retrospectivity. It fits into a theme of reviewing Australian federalism since 1975 was such a cataclysmic year. It was a mirror of where the Whitlam government was taking the public policy agenda – towards institutional reforms in the public service, reaching into local and regional communities, creating new slants on federalism and engaging in an activist and independent foreign policy (not least with respect to East Timor).

  • 15. Darkness Descends on Whitlam
    15. Darkness Descends on Whitlam An important factor in the downfall of the Whitlam Government was the affair involving the Deputy Prime Minister, Dr Jim Cairns, and Junie Morosi. The media could not get enough of the yarn—splashed as a ‘bombshell sex story’. Cairns’ colleagues in the Caucus and journalists in the gallery were, to say the least, surprised. Until then, it had been assumed that Cairns and his devoted wife of many years were inseparable. Morosi turned up, out of the blue, becoming a regular visitor to the office of the Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister for Customs and Attorney-General, Lionel Murphy. She was a stunning beauty, slender, with beautiful black hair—in short, a knockout. Morosi was not on Murphy’s staff but the general view around Parliament was that Murphy was ‘knocking her off’. Murphy came to the Parliament as a NSW Senator in 1962. His promotion was rapid: Leader of the Opposition in the Senate in 1967 and Leader of the Government in the Senate when Whitlam came to power in 1972. With his promotion came a more commodious office, allowing him, when the Senate rose for the night, to host some of the best parties in Parliament House. Frequently, the parties would, in the early hours of the morning, move to Murphy’s fine house in Arthur Circle, Forrest—an exclusive address. Lionel’s gorgeous wife, Ingrid, a former model, was the hostess. No matter how late the party, Murphy would be in Parliament House next morning bright and early.
