You may not see all of us unless we want you to, but we are there. Whether you choose to acknowledge our presence is another issue. Historical prejudices against minority groups and those who are 'different' still exist in many parts of the world and in many of our universities. There are significant cultural, religious, national and regional differences in how minority 'tribes' or 'groups' are identified and treated. There is a significant body of esearr ch discussing issues of homosexuality and discrimination against homosexuals. A simple search of the World Wide Web (WWW) will lead any interested person to thousands of pages and sites that discuss the discrimination. The research discusses many different aspects of same sex attraction and same sex practices. However, many of those who are in charge of our tertiary institutions systematically ignore this body of research.

  • An Examination of the Parliamentary Disqualification Provisions of the Commonwealth Constitution*
    Who May Sit? An Examination of the Parliamentary Disqualification Provisions of the Commonwealth Constitution* John Kalokerinos THE PLACE OF SECTION 44 IN CONTEMPORARY AUSTRALIAN PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY The right to choose political representatives is a fundamental right of the citizens of a democratic polity. Section 441 of the Commonwealth Constitution sets out the disqualification provisions for persons seeking to sit in the Senate or the House of Representatives in order to ensure that Australia’s parliamentarians have an undivided loyalty to Australia and to the Parliament. Using the 1890s Convention Debates, decisions of the Court of Disputed Returns, government reports, and academic commentary, this paper explores the purposes and justification for s 44, and its operation in the contemporary Australian context, to argue that reform is necessary. The paper reviews the latest developments in this dynamic area of the law, examining the most recent litigation, including the Hill2 decision. Particular consideration is given to Sykes v Cleary,3 where the High Court held that three of the candidates for election to the seat of Wills were ineligible, raising the question whether this rate of disqualification is extraordinary or simply demonstrative of the pressing need for reform of s 44. * This is an edited version of an Honours Thesis submitted for the Research Unit, Faculty of Law, the Australian National University, June 2000. 1 The full text of ss 44 and 45 is set out in the Appendix below. 2 Sue v Hill (1999) 163 ALR 648. 3 Sykes v Cleary (1992) 176 CLR 77. I conclude that the existing disqualifications are deficient.

  • Thesis August
    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.

  • Eina 121 What Should Our Children Read by Nick Enright
    English in Australia 121, March 1998 ENGLISH IN AUSTRALIA 'What Should Our Children Read?' Paper given to the Sydney Institute, 22 July, 1997 by Nick Enright (with an introductory comment by Ernie Tucker) I was fortunate to be in the audience when Sydney playwright and film writer Nick Enright gave the following paper to a public audience at one of The Sydney Institute's regular discussion functions. His passion was inspiring, reminding me of Yevtushenko's poem, 'Telling lies to the young is wrong'. Enright and two others had been invited to speak on the topic 'what should our children read?' because a media circus, lasting from February to April 1997, gave the moral minority a victory it had been denied for the previous six years of campaigning to censor texts set for Years 11 and 12 students. NSW still has one externally set and marked public exam, the Higher School Certificate (HSC), and in English there are usually about 25 texts listed, for teachers and students to choose about six to study for each course. In the most academic of the three courses, there was only one compulsory text, Hamlet. These text lists are devised by a representative committee of teachers and academics, then passed to a wider reference group before being approved or rejected by the Board of Studies. This triple test was devised by a Liberal Party minister in the 1980s and, to the chagrin of the ultra right wing religious members of the NSW parliament upper house, the Reverend Fred and Mrs Elaine Nile, it allowed texts to be selected for study which they regarded as obscene, anti-religious, sexual , shocking, depressing or undermining parental authority (and these descriptors are only a sample).
