The Brethren and the “School Wars” Since 1997, the PBCC have received generous government subsidies in Australia for the operation of their schools alongside other non-government schools. Since 2004, however, they have been the most heavily scrutinized of the recipients of state aid. Historical Background. Below: The Goulburn School State Aid in Australian Strike, 1962. Education 1. 1870s: Australian Colonies settle on ‘free, compulsory, and secular’ education sector to avoid sectarianism. 2. Roman Catholic Bishops under leadership of Archbishop Roger Vaughan establish Catholic system without government aid. Archbishop Vaughan “[We] condemn the principle of secularist education and those schools founded on that principle…they are the seed plots of future immorality, inkidelity and lawlessness.” (1879). -
Case Summary the Commonwealth V Australian
Case Summary The Commonwealth v Australian Capital Territory [2013] HCA (12 December 2013) C13/2013 1. Reference details Date of Decision: 12 December 2013 Link to full court judgment: http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/cth/HCA/2013/55.html 2. Facts of the Case The case concerns the status of the Marriage Equality (Same Sex) Act 2013, enacted by the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). Specifically, the issue is whether the Act is inconsistent with or repugnant to either or both of two Acts of the federal Parliament: the Marriage Act 1961 and the Family Law Act 1975; and if it is so inconsistent or repugnant, to what extent is the Act of no effect? The defendants in this case are the ACT. The Australian Marriage Equality Inc intervened in the case as amicus curiae . All parties submitted that the federal Parliament has legislative power to provide for marriage between persons of the same sex. The Marriage Act does not currently provide for the formation or recognition of marriage between same sex couples and holds that marriage can only be solemnised in Australia between a man and a woman. Moreover, a union solemnised in a foreign country between a same sex couple must not be recognised as a marriage in Australia. 3.

Chronology of Marriage Equality and Social Rights in Australia Lawtalk Blog
LawTalk Blog Chronology of marriage equality and social rights in Australia Author: Troy Roulstone Email: [email protected] Phone: 08 8238 6666 Date: Thursday May 28, 2020 . In 1978 the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and the Sun published the names, home addresses and occupations of over 50 people who had been charged with taking part in Sydney’s first Mardi Gras march and a further 100 plus names of people who were arrested arising from public protests to advance social rights. Fairfax, operator of the various media outlets, would eventually apologise for the reports in February 2016. The past decade alone has seen significant changes in laws surrounding treatment and discrimination of the LGBTIQ+ community. Many State and Federal laws have previously excluded same-sex couples to marriage, adoption, access to assisted reproductive technology, and a whole host of other matters offered to heterosexual couples under the law. As we have seen shifts in societal norms and acceptance around more modern families and lifestyles, laws at both the State and Federal levels have slowly changed to provide more equal recognition and decreased discrimination against minority groups. Arguably, the most significant change for members of the LGBTIQ+ community, and certainly the most widely televised change, occurred on 7 December 2017 when legislation passed Federal Parliament to allow marriage equality at law. Australia’s History of Marriage Equality The journey of marriage equality in Australia was a lengthy one. Following the second anniversary of the passing of marriage equality legislation on 7 December 2017, it is worth delving into the long and drawn out process that led to marriage equality in Australia and other laws that have progressed social equality, specifically those in South Australia. -

Chapter 1 Introduction Section 1.1: ‘A fit place for women’? Section 1.2: Problems of sex, gender and parliament Section 1.3: Gender and the Parliament, 1995-1999 Section 1.4: Expectations on female MPs Section 1.5: Outline of the thesis Section 1.1: ‘A fit place for women’? The Sydney Morning Herald of 27 August 1925 reported the first speech given by a female Member of Parliament (hereafter MP) in New South Wales. In the Legislative Assembly on the previous day, Millicent Preston-Stanley, Nationalist Party Member for the Eastern Suburbs, created history. According to the Herald: ‘Miss Stanley proceeded to illumine the House with a few little shafts of humour. “For many years”, she said, “I have in this House looked down upon honourable members from above. And I have wondered how so many old women have managed to get here - not only to get here, but to stay here”. The Herald continued: ‘The House figuratively rocked with laughter. Miss Stanley hastened to explain herself. “I am referring”, she said amidst further laughter, “not to the physical age of the old gentlemen in question, but to their mental age, and to that obvious vacuity of mind which characterises the old gentlemen to whom I have referred”. Members obviously could not afford to manifest any deep sense of injury because of a woman’s banter. They laughed instead’. Preston-Stanley’s speech marks an important point in gender politics. It introduced female participation in the Twenty-seventh Parliament. It stands chronologically midway between the introduction of responsible government in the 1850s and the Fifty-first Parliament elected in March 1995. -
