  • A 'Common-Sense Revolution'? the Transformation of the Melbourne City
    A ‘COMMON-SENSE REVOLUTION’? THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE MELBOURNE CITY COUNCIL, 1992−9 A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April, 2015 Angela G. Munro Faculty of Business, Government and Law Institute for Governance and Policy Analysis University of Canberra ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis is the culmination of almost fifty years’ interest professionally and as a citizen in local government. Like many Australians, I suspect, I had barely noticed it until I lived in England where I realised what unique attributes it offered, despite the different constitutional arrangements of which it was part. The research question of how the disempowerment and de-democratisation of the Melbourne City Council from 1992−9 was possible was a question with which I had wrestled, in practice, as a citizen during those years. My academic interest was piqued by the Mayor of Stockholm to whom I spoke on November 18, 1993, the day on which the Melbourne City Council was sacked. ‘That couldn’t happen here’, he said. I have found the project a herculean labour, since I recognised the need to go back to 1842 to track the institutional genealogy of the City Council’s development in the pre- history period to 1992 rather than a forensic examination of the seven year study period. I have been exceptionally fortunate to have been supervised by John Halligan, Professor of Public Administration at University of Canberra. An international authority in the field, Professor Halligan has published extensively on Australian systems of government including the capital cities and the Melbourne City Council in particular.

    ews-Sheet of the Geelong College Community No. 42 NOVEMBER,1979 JUBILEE OF CAMPBELL HOUSE The report of the Principal (Rev. F. W. Rolland) in December, 1929, included the following paragraph, " Next year we are adding to our Preparatory School a class for boys of four to seven years of age. It will be on Kindergarten lines and will embody the results of the painstaking scientific observation of the young child which has been going on for the last thirty years. The trained child teacher of today does not let children do anything they like, nor does she take a fixed syllabus and force it on her class. She says: All these children have many natural instincts and activities. How are these activities, which are the most valuable for the individual and social life of the child, to be encouraged and developed? What is the environment and material that these children should have if their restless energy is to be guided into the right chan· nels and they are to make steady progress from easy to more difficult achievements? In short it works from the human end, as some day all education will do."

  • Issue 40: Summer 2009/10
    Journal of the Melbourne Cricket Club Library Issue 40, Summer 2009 This Issue From our Summer 2009/10 edition Ken Williams looks at the fi rst Pakistan tour of Australia, 45 years ago. We also pay tribute to Richie Benaud's role in cricket, as he undertakes his last Test series of ball-by-ball commentary and wish him luck in his future endeavours in the cricket media. Ross Perry presents an analysis of Australia's fi rst 16-Test winning streak from October 1999 to March 2001. A future issue of The Yorker will cover their second run of 16 Test victories. We note that part two of Trevor Ruddell's article detailing the development of the rules of Australian football has been delayed until our next issue, which is due around Easter 2010. THE EDITORS Treasures from the Collections The day Don Bradman met his match in Frank Thorn On Saturday, February 25, 1939 a large crowd gathered in the Melbourne District competition throughout the at the Adelaide Oval for the second day’s play in the fi nal 1930s, during which time he captured 266 wickets at 20.20.

  • Melbourne Club Members and Daughters Dinner
    MELBOURNE CLUB MEMBERS AND DAUGHTERS DINNER Friday 2nd August 2019 Mr Richard Balderstone, Vice President, Melbourne Club Members Daughters, Grand Daughters, God Daughters, Step-Daughters, Daughters-in-Law and Nieces First, I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land upon which we are gathering and pay my respects to their Elders past and present. A few months ago, I asked a friend, a member of this Club, if he could tell me a little about the history of the Club, as I was preparing to say a few words for this evening’s dinner. I did not understand just how much he would warm to the task, until he delivered to my door, your Club History. That is, what I thought was your Club History. As I blanched under the weight of it, I realised that this was not your Club History as such – at least, not your full Club History. It dealt only with the period 1838 to 1918! Although I could barely lift it, it still had 101 years left to go, just to reach current times! So, please don’t test me on its finer details: I may not have digested every word of it. I did read enough though, to be struck by the Club’s long history, and how it runs parallel with so much of what has occurred across that time in our State. 1 That makes me observe that, similarly, the history of my role runs alongside the last 180 years of what has happened right here and across what later became known as Victoria.
