The Large Professional Service Firm: a New Force in the Regulative Bargain
21 UNSW Law Journal Volume 40(1) 11 THE LARGE PROFESSIONAL SERVICE FIRM: A NEW FORCE IN THE REGULATIVE BARGAIN JUSTINE ROGERS, DIMITY KINGSFORD SMITH AND JOHN CHELLEW I INTRODUCTION This article charts the rise of a new force in the regulative bargain:1 the large organisation or ‘professional service firm’. The ‘regulative bargain’ refers to the bargain, both theoretical and real, 2 between the professions and the state, on behalf of society. Increasingly, these parties actively negotiate the exchange of professional benefits and responsibilities, and how, where and for what purpose these will be allocated and enforced. This bargain is shaped too by the political climate and culture, and the access to the networks within which this agreement takes place. 3 The classic bargain is the grant of self-regulation and other Lecturer, UNSW Law, MSc (Oxon), DPhil (Oxon).

CHAPTER 3 KOALA and OTHER MATTERS – the 1910S
CHAPTER 3 KOALA AND OTHER MATTERS – THE 1910s ‘Some years ago, the Wild Life Preservation Society of Australia found that almost the whole of the skins of the koala were being sent for sale to the United States of America – many of them during closed seasons in Australia, when the killing of the animal was forbidden.’ David Stead KOALA The preservation of the koala and the re-establishment of the animal in at least some of its native haunts in the Eastern States of Australia were among the major objectives of the Society since its inception in 1909. The Society was successful in obtaining official protection for the koala, first in 1911 and 1912, in New South Wales. David Stead always insisted that 'koala' should be pronounced 'k'ola'; he also frequently referred to it as the 'native bear' which of course is a misnomer as the koala is not a 'bear.' Although the battle to save the koala began as early as 1909, action was still being taken in the 1920s and 1930s, and in fact continues even into the 21st century. The Story of the Great Slaughter was the heading to an article by David Stead accompanying the Annual Report for the year 1927. In 1927 the Queensland Government declared an open season of one month during which the koala could be killed for its skin. No less than 584,738 koalas were actually recorded as being killed during that time, although many of the skins would have been collected earlier, in expectation of a new open season. -
Upholding the Australian Constitution Volume Nineteen
Chapter Six The Politics of Federalism Ben Davies In 1967 Sir Robert Menzies published Central Power in the Australian Commonwealth. In this book he adopted the labels coined by Lord Bryce to describe the two forces which operate in a federation—the centripetal and the centrifugal. For those uneducated in physics, such as myself, centripetal means those forces which draw power towards the centre, or the Commonwealth, whilst centrifugal forces are those which draw power outwards towards the States. Menzies remarked that these forces are constantly competing against each other, and that the balance between them is never static.1 Not surprisingly, his view in 1967 was that the centripetal forces had well and truly predominated during the previous 66 years of Federation. Of course, he would not need long to reach the same conclusion were he to consider the same question now, 40 years later. Essentially there are three levels on which these two forces exert themselves. The first and most fundamental is the legal level, which describes the constitutional structures which determine the federal balance. On questions of federalism this Society has since its inception quite rightly concentrated most on this level of federalism, as it is at this level that the most profound changes have occurred. It is also the most influential level, as it sets the boundaries within which the other two levels can operate. The second level is what I would call the financial level, and this level concerns itself with the question of the relative financial powers of the States and Commonwealth. In particular, this level is characterised by the ever-increasing financial dominance of the Commonwealth relative to the States, and the “vertical fiscal imbalance” with which the States have had to contend for most of their existence since Federation. -
