Much of this literature has virtually ignored the basic sub-units of Australian politics—the states, although events in the federal arena in the past decade have more often than not been sparked off or im­ pelled by events, parties or personalities in the states. This study of South Australian politics is intended to close the gap. In many ways South Australia has a unique political history. The "Paradise of Dissent" had no convicts and no gold rush, and it began self-government with the most progressive constitution of the colonies. Equally, it has had a different contemporary political history. The picture of South Australia under (Sir) Thomas Playford from the 1930s to the mid- 1960s was that of a politically somnolent state with political change ignored rather than resisted. By 1976, a virtual revolution had apparently occurred: leadership has been tran­ sformed, with the dynamism and charisma of Donald Allan Dunstan dominating political life; South Australia leads the nation in progressive legislation, especially in social and individual behavioural fields; the party system has been transformed, with the once-hegemonic Playford-L.C.L. divided into three warring parties, and the Labor Party increasingly appearing as the "natural government". Yet this transformation has occurred in the context of marked stability of electoral behaviour. This book sets out to provide the basic information about the workings of South Australian politics and government. It also out­ lines and attempts to analyse the aspects of politics—both formal and informal—which make South Australia unique. To achieve this, I have depended on many and various people who are too numerous to list, or, in some cases, would prefer not to be listed. My greatest debts are due to those in government, in parties, in libraries, who took an interest in the project and assisted in many diverse ways; to Colin Hughes who ensured that the research and the writing did not gather dust, and ultimately to my family who had to share a house with South Australian politics. D.J. 1 The society and the people THE HISTORICAL BACKGROUND In 1903, a notable historian wrote that in the history of South Australia there has been little that is striking or picturesque. For the most part it is but the record of an industrial development, which has been marked by none of those extra-ordinary circumstances which characterize the progress of the Eastern Colonies.' Twentieth-Century South Australia, too, has been described in terms of a stereotype, equally incorrect. Traditionally regarded as a "poor relation" in the Commonwealth, South Australia is still often described as one of the lesser states, sparsely populated, mainly primary producing, and as a constant pleader at the feet of the Canberra government. Political historians in general have rather ig­ nored the central state on the grounds that the relative radicalism of the 1890s had apparently mellowed into a long period of stability and gentility by the 1940s. South Australia's own historians have painted a different pic­ ture. They have emphasized the different origins of the state, the far- reaching influence of Wakefield, the absence of convicts, the radical ideas of the founding fathers and the production of the most liberal of the colonial constitutions. The first two decades of the state's history culminating in the 1856 Constitution have received great at­ tention^ as it was then that social and political traditions were formed, sentiments which were not seriously questioned until 1900, and which were not markedly changed until decades had passed. South Australia's early political history mirrored the ideals of the founding fathers. As R.L. Reid wrote in the first version of this study, the leading colonists were satisfied with the 1855 constitution. They had the pick of the land, together with cheap, docile labour and, most important of all, their own government. Civil and religious liberty, as they understood these terms, had been won. Church and state were separated. Manhood suffrage and secret ballot were won. Ties with Downing Street had been greatly reduced. The province. The society and the people and not the Whitehall bureaucrats, controlled its own land and im­ migration. In Adelaide there might be a few protests from disgruntled extremists, but the 'old colonists' were satisfied. Their rights were protected against the external despotism of Westminister; their property safeguarded from internal depotism by a constitution un­ alterable without the consent of a Legislative Council elected by the owners of property themselves.' But satisfaction with victories won did not bring political harmony and stability.

  • Sixteen Years of Labor Government in South Australia, 2002-2018
    AUSTRALASIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW Parliament in the Periphery: Sixteen Years of Labor Government in South Australia, 2002-2018* Mark Dean Research Associate, Australian Industrial Transformation Institute, Flinders University of South Australia * Double-blind reviewed article. Abstract This article examines the sixteen years of Labor government in South Australia from 2002 to 2018. With reference to industry policy and strategy in the context of deindustrialisation, it analyses the impact and implications of policy choices made under Premiers Mike Rann and Jay Weatherill in attempts to progress South Australia beyond its growing status as a ‘rustbelt state’. Previous research has shown how, despite half of Labor’s term in office as a minority government and Rann’s apparent disregard for the Parliament, the executive’s ‘third way’ brand of policymaking was a powerful force in shaping the State’s development. This article approaches this contention from a new perspective to suggest that although this approach produced innovative policy outcomes, these were a vehicle for neo-liberal transformations to the State’s institutions. In strategically avoiding much legislative scrutiny, the Rann and Weatherill governments’ brand of policymaking was arguably unable to produce a coordinated response to South Australia’s deindustrialisation in a State historically shaped by more interventionist government and a clear role for the legislature. In undermining public services and hollowing out policy, the Rann and Wethearill governments reflected the path dependency of responses to earlier neo-liberal reforms, further entrenching neo-liberal responses to social and economic crisis and aiding a smooth transition to Liberal government in 2018. INTRODUCTION For sixteen years, from March 2002 to March 2018, South Australia was governed by the Labor Party.

  • A Case Study of the Murray-Darling Basin. Final
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This case study was commissioned by the International Water Management Institute as part of an Asian Development Bank supported regional study on water management institutions. This case study is one of three case studies of advanced river basins (Murray-Darling Basin in Australia, Omonogawa in Japan and Brantas in Indonesia), and five other river basin studies in North China, West Sumatra of Indonesia, Philippines, Nepal and Sri Lanka. The Murray-Darling River Basin in Australia provides some interesting lessons on how a resource that crosses many jurisdictional lines can be managed by balancing economic principles and ecological sustainability in a political context. Given the complexity of the situation that involves four States, a territory government, a federal government, many catchment boards and hundreds of local governments, it is amazing that the system functions and has evolved as well as it has. The system grew out of a desire to develop an irrigation industry after World War II. This development era has past and the focus has shifted to the management of a scarce resource and the need to bring a set of environmental policies under control. There are elements in the present political arrangements that have encouraged the various jurisdictions to work towards management solutions. Jurisdictions must work in a context which is characterised by “over commitment” or, at least, “full commitment” of the Basins’ resources and serious water quality problems. An important element in the present political arrangements is the National Competition Policy which is designed to encourage the States and Territories to participate in a process of reform.

  • Bibliography of the History of Australasian Science, No. 39, 2017/8
    CSIRO PUBLISHING Historical Records of Australian Science, 2019, 30, 66–81 https://doi.org/10.1071/HR19901 Bibliography of the history of Australasian science, no. 39, 2017/8 Compiled by Helen M. Cohn eScholarship Research Centre, The University of Melbourne. Email: [email protected] Readers of this, the 40th bibliography, will note from the title that it covers material published in both 2017 and 2018. With the change in publication from June and December to January and July, there were inevitably a considerable number of items that could not be included in the previous bibliography: included here are publications issued between the latter part of 2017 and September of the following year, as well as some items from 2016 that, despite her best efforts, had managed to escape the attention of the compiler. The subject coverage is, as usual, Australia and its near neighbours (including Antarctica), and the natural and applied sciences in their broadest sense, from anthropology and astrophysics to zoology. In compiling the bibliography a large number of journals and websites are checked for citations to relevant articles, books and book reviews on subjects covered. Library resources were again most useful, particularly those at The University of Melbourne and the State Library of Victoria. The databases of the National Library of Australia and the National Library of New Zealand Te Papa Ma¯tauranga O Aotearoa, also were invaluable in the pursuit of significant publications. The compiler is most grateful to these readers and authors who alerted her to new publications. Often those people are aware of sources unknown to the compiler.

  • New Name but Same Game for Aboriginal Body Jack Waterford Looks at Progress Made by the Department Set up for Blacks, and Challenges Ahead for the New Commission
    New name but same game for Aboriginal body Jack Waterford looks at progress made by the department set up for blacks, and challenges ahead for the new Commission. Canberra Times 2 March 1990 The Department of Aboriginal Affairs goes out of existence today, to be replaced on Monday by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission. Few departments have begun with such high aspirations, few have had such humiliating experiences in learning that real change is harder to achieve than to imagine. But, disappointments or not, the department deserves credit for most of the significant advances in Aboriginal affairs over the past 20 years. The department had its origin in the Council for Aboriginal Affairs, established by Harold Holt to advise him on matters Aboriginal in the wake of the 1967 referendum which gave the Commonwealth power to legislate in the area. The size of popular support for the referendum had staggered Mr Holt. The council consisted of Nugget Coombs, the late anthropologist Professor Bill Stanner and former (and future) diplomat Barrie Dexter, the latter heading a small office providing the council with support. Mr Holt's initiative reflected a wide spread feeling that the Commonwealth ought to be doing more in the field, but it would not be true to say that the Common wealth had not been playing a considerable role for years. It had, through the Department of the Interior and its management of Aborigines in the Northern Territory. The problem was that Interior was a Country Party fiefdom with strong assimilationist views. More modern integrationist models were bluntly rejected.
