ML MSS 5288 Add-On 1956 and FM4/10502 PACIULLO, GEORGE ML MSS 5288 Add-on 1956 and FM4/10502 PACIULLO, GEORGE Papers, 1949 — 1992, mainly re his parliamentary career, together with the personal papers of his father, Sisto Paciullo, 1923 - 1935 MS., typescript, duplicated typescript, photocopies, printed, newscuttings, photographs. Microfilm 15 boxes; 2.70m. Presented by Mr George Paciullo in 1992 George Paciullo was born in Sydney in 1934 to Italian parents who had migrated from San Giovanni di Gerace, a small village in Calabria. His father, Sisto Paciullo, arrived in Sydney in 1926, followed by his mother, Immacolata, brother, Vincenzo, and sister, Maria, in 1933. The family lived firstly at Maroubra and later at Casula in Sydney's south—west. From an early age Paciullo displayed a keen interest in sport both as a competitor and administrator. In 1965 he was a tennis umpire at White City for the Davis Cup Challenge Round. From 1967 — 1971 he served as Secretary, and later as President, 1972 — 1976, of the NSW Lawn Tennis Umpires' Association. In 1959 Paciullo entered the political arena as a Labor Party Alderman on Liverpool City Council. In 1967, at the age of 33, Paciullo became the youngest Mayor of Liverpool. Following a double term in office, he was elected to the Legislative Assembly for Liverpool in 1971. Elected to the Shadow Ministry in 1973, he obtained the portfolio of Sport, Recreation and Tourism, and in 1976, upon Labor's victory in the State elections, he assumed the positions of Parliamentary Secretary to the Premier and the Government's Liaison Officer for Ethnic Communities. In 1982 as Chairman of the Joint Parliamentary Standing Committee for Road Safety, Paciullo was chiefly responsible for the introduction of driver random breath testing. He was elected to Cabinet as a result of a vacancy in November 1983 and appointed Minister for Roads. A Cabinet reshuffle in February 1984 resulted in a brief term as Minister for Industry and Decentralisation and Minister for Small Business and Technology. State elections one month later saw another major Cabinet reshuffle. Paciullo went on to serve as Minister for Consumer Affairs; investigations into and exposure of unfair trading practices were his main carriages for improved consumer protection. Paciullo became Minister for Police and Emergency Services in February 1986. He implemented various reforms in the NSW Police Force, gained significant increases in police strength, which resulted in widespread reductions of crime levels, and continued to campaign for road safety. The resignation of Barrie Unsworth after Labor's defeat at the polls in March 1988 left a vacancy for Opposition Leader. Paciullo withdrew his nomination for the position when he became aware Party officials had taken an active involvement in the ballot against him. Disillusioned with this result, and unable to maintain his enthusiasm and involvement as a backbencher, Paciullo resigned from Parliament in February 1989. In recognition of his achievements, the Greiner Coalition Government appointed Paciullo as its consultant on road safety to the Roads and Traffic Authority in 1989. In 1990 George Paciullo was appointed Chairman of the Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation by the Federal Government. While promoting Australian wine exports vigorously, Paciullo remains an advocate of moderate and responsible alcohol consumption, especially where drink driving is involved.

  • Chapter Four How the West Was Won: Retail Development in Sydney’S Western Suburbs
    Chapter Four How the West was Won: Retail Development in Sydney’s Western Suburbs This chapter examines shopping centre development in the outer west of Sydney during the 1970s – the decade when ‘Western Sydney’ became a ‘distinct region [of the city] with a definite identity’, and when Australia, along with much of the Western world, entered a new era of economic and social change.1 The long boom came to an uncomfortable end as the economy suffocated under steep increases in oil prices; consumer spending dropped; several major property companies collapsed; inflation went through the roof and unemployment rose; retailers warned of union-driven wage increases; and real discretionary income declined.2 Despite these difficulties, shopping centre development and expansion planned during the 1960s boom continued fairly steadily, although a slow down in the latter half of the decade can be seen as a direct result of the economic problems of the first. Some of the major shopping centres in the Western suburbs which were developed in the 1970s were: Penrith Plaza (1971), Westfield Liverpool Shoppingtown (1972), Westpoint Blacktown (1973), Westfield Shoppingtown Parramatta (1975), and Macarthur Square, Campbelltown (1979). From the Sixties onwards, the west was the city’s major area of industrial and demographic growth, and a key area in the expansion programs of major retailers.3 This chapter will focus on four shopping centres which followed and helped stimulate this growth in Liverpool, Blacktown, Parramatta and Campbelltown. Liverpool and Blacktown illustrate the importance of big retail development to local government and communities in the outer west. Parramatta is important as the major city in the western suburbs, because it has traditionally been the strongest retail area outside of central 1 Lesley Johnson, ‘Western Sydney and the Desire For Home’, Australian Journal of Social Issues, vol.
