  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Royal Assent in Victoria
    Royal Assent in Victoria # Kate Murray * In October 2005 the Governor of Victoria withheld the royal assent from a bill on advice from the Premier. This caused private concern for parliamentary staff, outspoken complaints from some members of Parliament and even somewhat of a media frenzy — well a frenzy relative to the usual media attention paid to parliamentary procedure. The withholding of assent led to a range of questions. What exactly is the legal and constitutional basis for royal assent in Victoria? How has the procedure for giving assent changed over the 150 year history of the Parliament of Victoria? What are the roles of the clerk of the parliaments, the governor and the executive in the process and, in particular, who can and should advise the governor? This paper will attempt to answer some of those questions and examine a range of situations in which there have been difficulties with the royal assent process in Victoria. New comers to the Victorian Constitution might be surprised to find that it is not a ‘how to’ on democracy in Victoria. Much of what happens in the three branches of government and the relationships between them is left unsaid. 1 Instead the traditions of the Westminster system, together with various adaptations developed during the 150 years of responsible government in Victoria, are followed. And so it is with the process for royal assent. Royal assent is one of the stages of making a law in Victoria. It occurs when the governor, on behalf of the Queen, approves a bill that has been passed by both Houses of Parliament.
