Dissertation Committee: • Elizabeth Holloway, PhD, Committee Chair • Tony Lingham, PhD, Committee Member • Stephen Bygrave, PhD, Committee Member Copyright 2019 Christopher George Taylor All Rights Reserved Acknowledgements I want to acknowledge the support that I have had in completing this research over the past five years. To my good friend John Bourne of MarketIntel, your guidance, patience, and on-going support throughout my quantitative research phase was beyond anything I could have ever imagined. I know at times I pushed the boundaries of our mateship, but I have to say this dissertation would never have been completed if it wasn’t for you. To my editor, Dr Norman Dale, thank you. Having a Canadian as an editor was always going to be a challenge given the focus of my topic and the unique nature of its exploration. Your willingness to invest in me and my research goes beyond what I can adequately express in words. You are a gifted man who knows how to get the best out of people. More importantly, I think it is fair to say that no words can adequately express the influence you have had on me on this journey. The joy you infused into my topic and my life when things were dark was a gift that I will cherish forever. Your support in helping me shape my language and my expression was remarkable and poetic. Your sensitive feedback and considered voice have made my topic all the more meaningful to me, the author, and I thank you for that. I have always had a close affinity to Canadians, and I have to say you have enhanced my view on a people that I respect and hold close to my heart. This paper is as much yours as it is mine. I can never express how much you mean to me; you are a top bloke. To my Chair, Dr Elizabeth Holloway, your patience and guidance never faltered even when I did. I cannot thank you enough for everything. Having spent five years under your guidance has been a privilege; you have helped develop me as a scholar and as a leader. I will remain indebted to you for the rest of my days. Dr Stephen Bygrave, for your leadership and friendship I thank you. It is truly an honour to have a distinguished colleague such as yourself as my third reader on this dissertation. The i ongoing commitment you show in terms of enhancing the way energy is managed and your leadership in crafting conversations regarding alternate technologies is an inspiration that I draw upon in my everyday life. Dr Tony Lingham, I want to acknowledge your contribution to my learning and your support as my methodologist. Your advice and guidance helped shape both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of my research and for that I am thankful. To my cohort, thank you. Studying in the United States was always going to be interesting. Studying with this cohort proved that to be the case. I want to thank my colleagues for their friendship and support and look forward to the influence they will have on the world as their research comes to life. I want to thank my parents who always emphasized the importance of learning and growth. Both my mother and father sacrificed so much to support my brothers and me to have the opportunity to grow as individuals. I dedicate this research to them and can openly say that my father embodied the notion of the Good Bloke in everything he did. This dissertation is a bridge that I hope will bring your legacy to life through to your grandchildren. To my wife Jane and our three boys, Harry, George, and Jack: I simply say thank you and I love you. I wrote this for you. The support I have received and the care in which you have given it will stay in my heart forever. Jane, your support has been immeasurable. I cannot thank you enough for all the late nights you spent reviewing each phase of the study and each piece of the research that I completed over these past five years. This paper would not have been completed had it not been for you. I can promise you I will stop now. Lastly to the community in which I live, our mates in Byron Bay I say thank you. There is something wonderful about the people I know up here. I and my family are truly blessed to be ii surrounded by so many genuine loving and caring people, this place is the most wonderful place to raise a family and I thank you for all your mateship and unconditional love. iii Abstract This study explored the nature and significance of a common but widely misunderstood phrase encountered in Australia: The Good Bloke. Underlying this enquiry was awareness, based on the researcher’s personal and professional experience, that the idea of a Good Bloke powerfully influences individual perceptions of leaders in Australian small-to-mid sized for-profit firms. The study commenced with an exploration of the origins and history of the phrase, tracing it to the 1788 arrival of a disproportionately male Anglo-Celtic population was composed significantly of transported convicts. The language and mores of this unique settler population evolved for two centuries based on relationships, primarily among males, where Good Bloke characteristics were key to success and survival. This research entailed a qualitative phase leading to a detailed quantitative analysis. The qualitative Phase 1ncluded semi-structured interviews and focus group research to broadly identify ostensible characteristics and qualities of the Good Bloke. A survey was administered to 354 Australians. Results were subjected exploratory and then, confirmatory factor analysis, yielding three main factors of a Good Bloke: being relatable, fair/inclusive, and affable. A major additional finding was that while both men and women manifest these qualities, the Good Bloke still has an inherently gendered nature, a legacy of Australian history. A second survey of 301 Australians from small to medium enterprises was followed by structural equation modelling to explore the connection between Good Bloke factors and employees’ experiences of engagement, satisfaction, and commitment. Implications are discussed for the Good Bloke ideal’s continuing relevance, including appreciation of differential impact on gender and other categories that make many contemporary Australians less readily perceived as Good Blokes. I conclude that the term Good Bloke can have a constructive role in Australian culture. The key challenge is exploring how the positive nuances associated with the term become incorporated into the development of future generations whilst acknowledging and addressing the term’s iv limitations, in order to support fuller and more meaningful inclusion in Australian business and society.

  • Our Cup Runneth Over | 431
    1987 – Our cup runneth over | 431 1987 Our cup runneth over Life-stories from Fremantle go national Per Henningsgaard Fremantle was a busy place in the lead-up to 1987. Four years earlier, an Australian yachting syndicate skippered by John Bertrand, bankrolled by Perth businessman Alan Bond, and armed with a secret weapon – the controversial winged keel – had wrenched the America’s Cup away from the New York Yacht Club, where the trophy had, until then, resided for an unbroken 132-year stint. A nation that reserved most of its sporting attention for cricket and various football codes was momentarily enthralled by this historic win. The Prime Minster of the day was memorably recorded on television declaring an unofficial public holiday: “Any boss who sacks anyone for not turning up today is a bum,” Bob Hawke eloquently proclaimed. (Hawke had a personal appreciation for record-breaking feats: he boasted a world speed record in beer drinking as a university student). Quickly, sleepy Fremantle, a port town in Western Australia not far from Perth and better known for its well-heeled hippies and stevedores than yachting prowess, found itself at the centre of massive infrastructure projects funded by government and private sources. Following Fremantle’s lead, the State itself was rebranded. Vehicle registration plates no longer incongruously decreed it “The Wildflower State” and “The State of Excitement.” Instead, Western Australia was declared “Home of the America’s Cup.” It was a heady claim that could be made for a short time only; the Cup was lost in 1987 when “Stars and Stripes 87” trounced “Kookaburra III.” Fremantle’s status as the address of the America’s Cup was fleeting, and with it vanished the port town’s claim to have originated a story big enough to capture the nation’s imagination and alter the State’s image.

    Josephite Justice Office PO Box 1508 North Sydney NSW 2059 SUBMISSION TO SELECT COMMITTEE Submission to the inquiry on Australia’s declarations made under certain international laws. Submitted by Josephite Justice Office Contact Jan Barnett rsj Submission to the inquiry on Australia’s declarations made under certain international laws. The Sisters of St Joseph is a religious congregation founded by Mary MacKillop. This submission comes from the Josephite Justice desk. We are grateful to the Senate for this opportunity to comment on this matter of high importance. The circumstances of Australia’s declarations made in 2002 concerning the jurisdiction of the ICJ or ITLOS are a source of disturbance for a growing number of Australians. We share this distress. Further information about these circumstances and about subsequent events impel us to call on the Senate to review the declarations and then to call on the parliament to reverse the declarations. The declarations removed Australia from the oversight of the two UN bodies which concern themselves with maritime boundary matters. It is now common knowledge that Australia used its withdrawal to engage in acts which severely disadvantaged Timor-Leste, in attempts to bring to Australian interests significant financial gain instead. The Timorese long-held preference for an internationally recognised border was unable to be pursued due to Australia’s highly advantageous position in not being under scrutiny as negotiations progressed. Furthermore, Australia sought to gain even greater benefits by spying on the Timorese during those negotiations. There are more untoward consequences of the decision to withdraw from the ICJ and ITLOS conventions.

  • Sally Morgan: Aboriginal Identity Retrieved and Performed Within and Without My Place
    Sally Morgan: Aboriginal Identity Retrieved and Performed within and without My Place Martin RENES Universidad de Barcelona [email protected] Recibido: 13/05/2010 Aceptado: 15/06/2010 ABSTRACT Sally Morgan’s auto/biography My Place (1987) played an important but contested role in recovering the indigenous heritage for Australia’s national self-definition when the country set out to celebrate the start of British colonisation with the Bicentennial (1988). My Place is strategically placed at a cultural and historical crossroads that has placated praise as well as criticism for its particular engagement with mainstream readership. indigenous and non-indigenous scholarship has pointed out how Morgan’s novel arguably works towards an assimilative conception of white reconciliation with an unacknowledged past of indigenous genocide, but two decades after its publication, the text’s ambiguous, hybrid nature may merit a more positive reading. A sophisticated merging of indigenous and non-indigenous genres of story-telling boosting a deceptive transparency, My Place inscribes Morgan’s aboriginality performatively as part of a long-standing, complex commitment to a re(dis)covered identity. On the final count, My Place’s engaged polyphony of indigenous voices traces a textual songline through the neglected and silenced history of the Stolen Generations, allowing a hybrid Aboriginal inscription of Sally Morgan’s identity inside and outside the text. Keywords: Australian Indigeneity, Aboriginal history, identity formation, reconciliation, performance Sally Morgan: la identidad Indígena recuperada y articulada dentro y fuera de Mi Lugar RESUMEN La auto/biografía Mi Lugar (1987) de la mestiza Sally Morgan jugó un papel importante aunque polémico en la recuperación de la herencia Indígena para la autodefinición nacional australiana cuando el país celebró el bicentenario (1988) del comienzo de la colonización británica.
