    Howard at the Crossroads? The October 2004 Federal Election David Clune ••• On 1 September 2001, PP McGuinness wrote that although John Howard’s electoral prospects at the beginning of that year had looked ‘extremely dismal’, he had opined that ‘You can never write Howard off until he is buried at the crossroads with a wooden stake through his heart’. 1 In the first half of 2004, many commentators seemed to have forgotten this fundamental tenet of Australian political science in their haste to proclaim the forthcoming defeat of Howard by new Opposition Leader Mark Latham. Alan Ramsey, for example, wrote in March: The circle is closing. In a bit under 100 days and after just four weeks of the Parliament sitting, Mark Latham’s leadership has collapsed John Howard’s political authority even more thoroughly than it has weakened his Government’s electoral dominance. The signs are everywhere, unmistakably. 2 The Labor Leadership On the night of the 2001 election, defeated Opposition Leader Kim Beazley announced his resignation from the position. It was largely a personal decision. Beazley’s situation was by no means untenable. He had fought a good campaign that had averted what appeared to be a looming landslide defeat for Labor. 3 In retrospect, his decision was a much more momentous one than it seemed at the time and was to cause Labor serious, ongoing problems. On 22 November, Deputy Leader Simon Crean was elected unopposed as Beazley’s replacement. It proved to be a disastrous choice. Crean’s public image was the . • Research Service New South Wales Parliamentary Library .

  • The Race Issue in Australia's 2001 Election
    The Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy Working Paper Series The Race Issue in Australia’s 2001 Election: A Creation of Politicians or the Press? By Paul Kelly Shorenstein Fellow, Spring 2002 Editor at Large, the Australian #2002-8 Copyright © 2002, President and Fellows of Harvard College All rights reserved 1 The Origins of the Crisis In late August 2001, the routine journey across the Indian Ocean of a Norwegian freighter, the Tampa, would become a voyage from hell, with the Tampa itself transformed into a floating monument to inhumanity, the focus of an international political dispute, and a bitter symbol in Australia’s 2001 national election. The story of the Tampa is a modern morality tale: it documents the tragedy of refugee policy and global migrations – the conflict between asylum-seekers desperate to find a better life and the reluctance of citizenry of the rich stable democracies to embrace them. It also contains a powerful lesson for the press – and a warning of challenges to come. On August 26, the Tampa was traveling from the Australian port of Fremantle to Singapore. In response to an Australian search and rescue broadcast, it intercepted a stricken Indonesian vessel and took aboard 433 people, nearly all of them Afghans headed for Australia’s remote Christmas Island and what they hoped would be a new home in Australia itself. The pick-up occurred within the Indonesian rescue zone∗ and so the Tampa’s experienced captain, Arne Rinnan, set course for the port of Merak on the Indonesian island of Java 250 miles away, where permission to land had been given.

  • Inaugural Speeches Inaugural Speeches Extract from NSW Legislative Assembly Hansard and Papers Wednesday 6 May 2015
    Inaugural Speeches Inaugural Speeches Extract from NSW Legislative Assembly Hansard and Papers Wednesday 6 May 2015. Page: 241 The SPEAKER: On behalf of the member for Granville, I acknowledge the presence in the gallery of the Federal member for Werriwa, Mr Laurie Ferguson, MHR, as well as family, friends and supporters of the new member. Ms JULIA FINN (Granville) [5.54 p.m.] (Inaugural Speech): I am honoured to stand here as the member for Granville and as a representative of the Australian Labor Party. Labor has a long and proud tradition of local representation in Granville, and I am pleased and honoured to recommence that representation after the recent election. The possibilities open to parliamentarians to improve the lives of others by creating opportunities and providing protections for the vulnerable has been a great motivation. The electorate of Granville was created in 1894. It elected the Labor candidate, George Smailes, who was born in Durham and who started work at the age of 10 in coalmines at Newcastle. He studied at night to educate himself and eventually became a minister. Some time after migrating to New South Wales he was appointed Pastor of the Primitive Methodist Church at Parramatta. The next Labor representative, elected in 1913, was former Premier J. T. Lang, who represented the electorate of Granville until 1920. He was instrumental in the introduction of valuable social legislation to implement the 44-hour working week; advances in workers compensation, including compulsory insurance; establishment of the Industrial Relations Commission; and the elimination of fees for secondary education. It was a privilege to know Jack Ferguson, the former Deputy Premier and member for Merrylands, which now falls within the Granville electorate, whom I came to know after his retirement.

  • Frank Walker Memorial Lecture 2014
    NEW SOUTH WALES SOCIETY OF LABOR LAWYERS THE INAUGURAL FRANK WALKER MEMORIAL LECTURE “A GOLDEN ERA OF LAW REFORM” PARLIAMENT HOUSE THEATRETTE, MACQUARIE ST, SYDNEY 6PM, 11 NOVEMBER 2014 G.D. WOODS 2 My remarks tonight are chiefly about Francis John Walker, Attorney General for New South Wales from 1976 to 1983, and partly about his friend and colleague Peter Duncan, Attorney-General of South Australia between 1975 and 1979. Both were instrumental in effecting major social law reforms. Both held numerous ministerial and other appointments and you can consult “Who’s Who” for those details. I am concerned tonight particularly with some of their state law reform achievements while Attorneys-General in the Wran and Dunstan governments respectively. The two of them shared a house in Canberra during the Hawke government when both served as commonwealth ministers in the 1980s, but that period is another story. Their respective periods of service as state Attorneys-General represented something of a golden age of progressive law reform, continuing in the spirit which prompted some of the law reforms of the Whitlam federal government between 1972 and 1975. Of course I need hardly tell this audience that I use the term “golden age” as it might have been employed by EG Whitlam – that is, communicating awareness that the expression is in a sense inflated and faintly comical, but nonetheless that it contains a central core of truth. Both Walker and Duncan were brave law reformers and they needed to be. The areas in which they had their greatest successes involved overcoming entrenched opposition.

  • Gough Whitlam and the ‘Grounds’ for a University of Western Sydney
    THE WHITLAM LEGACY A SERIES OF OCCASIONAL PAPERS PUBLISHED BY THE WHITLAM INSTITUTE VOL 1 | OCTOBER 2011 GOUGH WHITLAM AND THE ‘Grounds’ FOR A UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN SYDNEY ‘ A riveder le stelle’ DR MARK HUTCHINSON Editing: The Whitlam Institute ISBN: 978-1-74108-225-8 Copyright: The Whitlam Institute within the University of Western Sydney, 2011 Authored by Dr Mark Hutchinson Mark Hutchinson took a PhD in History at the University of NSW (1989), with a thesis on the development of 19th century Australian historiography. He has been particularly interested in Australian cultural and intellectual history. From 1990-91, he was senior researcher (with Professor Bruce Mansfield) on the Macquarie University 25 Year History Project, which resulted in the book Liberality of Opportunity: A History of Macquarie University 1964-1989 (Sydney: Hale & Iremonger, 1992). At the completion of that project, he took up the position as founding Director of the Centre for the Study of Australian Christianity at Robert Menzies College (1991-1999), a research centre which produced numerous books, articles and working papers, and which attracted significant interest internationally. From 1998-2002, in addition, Mark was Assistant Director of the Currents in World Christianity Project at Cambridge University. From 2000-2010, he was Dean, Graduate Studies (later Dean of Academic Advancement), and Reader in History and Society, at Alphacrucis College, Sydney. Mark is currently University Historian at the University of Western Sydney in preparation for the celebration of the University’s 25th Anniversary in 2014, a position which he feels may best be viewed as helping one of Australia’s great universities reflect upon its own nature, mission and heritage.
