The first edition of the Parliamentary Handbook was published in 1922 and together the succeeding volumes represent one of the best historical record of any Parliament in Australia. In this edition a significant restructure of the Handbook has taken place in an effort to improve usability for the reader. The staff of both Houses of Parliament have done an enormous amount of work to restructure this volume for easier reference which has resulted in a more accurate, reliable and internally consistent body of work. -

SWAN RIVER COLONY IN 1829. Most of Britain’s overseas colonies suffered many problems, having to negotiate seasons which did not match the accustomed months; hostile indigenous peoples; communication problems with the outside world; and a lack of essential supplies and amenities. The Swan River Colony, however, arguably suffered greater exposure to the above than the rest of Britain’s colonies owing to its insular geographical location; being a colony that nobody wanted or wished to visit; very little British government investment; and the existence of thinly scattered settlements with a combined population of fewer than 5000 by 1850, twenty-one years after settlement. -
North West Ministry of Western Australia a Separate Ministry
North West Ministry of Western Australia A separate Ministry responsible for the North-West was established during the Mitchell Nationalist Government in 1919. Since then there have been 21 Ministers for the North-West. There was no Ministry for the North-West in the Collier, Mitchell & Richard Court Governments. In the Gallop Government 2001 the Ministry of the North West was divided into specific areas of the Kimberley, Pilbara, Gascoyne & Goldfields-Esperance. This arrangement continued during the 2006 Carpenter Labor Government. In the 2008 Barnett Government the Minister for Regional Development is now responsible for all regional matters including the North West.

Full Name of Degree: Bachelor of Arts in History with Honours Thesis Title: Cracking the Code: Why Western Australian abandoned rugby for Australian rules football in 1885 Author: Sean Douglas Cowan Year: 2015 iii ABSTRACT This study of the early years of football in Western Australia investigates the reasons for the abandonment of the Rugby Union rules and the adoption of the new Victorian rules in 1885. Through an examination of the newspapers of the day – which are the only known primary material concerning those events – it will be established that the people of Western Australia were not wedded to a particular code before the 1880s. This changed in 1882 when the first clubs were formed and the Rugby Union rules were adopted. -
