  • The New South Wales Parliament Under Siege
    ‘Build your House of Parliament upon the River’: The New South Wales Parliament under siege Gareth Griffith and Mark Swinson * You must build your House of Parliament upon the river . the populace cannot exact their demands by sitting down round you. — The Duke of Wellington This piece of advice is attributed to the Duke of Wellington, a man who knew about such things as pickets and blockades, but also about Parliament and its ways. On Tuesday 19 June 2001, a part of the populace associated with the trade union movement, determined to have its demands satisfied, massed round the New South Wales Parliament House. For those who do not know it, the New South Wales Parliament is not built on a river, or a harbour for that matter, but on the crest of a modest rise, fronted by Macquarie Street to the west and, at the rear, by Hospital Road and beyond that by a spacious open area called the Domain. To the north side is the State Library building; to the other, Sydney Hospital. At its height, in the early afternoon of 19 June, the Parliament was surrounded by a demonstration estimated to be 1,000 strong. The Premier called it a ‘blockade’. 1 Unionists called it a ‘picket’. 2 Some press reports referred to it as a ‘riot’. 3 * Gareth Griffith is a Senior Research Officer with the New South Wales Parliamentary Library; Mark Swinson is Deputy Clerk of the Legislative Assembly, Parliament of New South Wales. 1 L. McIIveen, ‘House is shut down by union blockade’, The Sydney Morning Herald , 20 June 2001; G.

  • The Slow Death of a Salesman
    The slow death of a salesman Authors: Deborah Snow, Andrew West, Publication: Sydney Morning Herald Mathew Moore & Damien Murphy Section: News Review Date: 13/09/2008 Pages: 28-29 Words: 4,010 Source: SMH Like Kevin Rudd, Nathan Rees's ambition was enough to put him above other would-be contenders for political leadership. To those outside politics, Nathan Rees's installation as Premier came as a bolt from the blue. But forces working against Morris Iemma had been gathering for months. As a number of Labor insiders tell it, his unwavering support for privatisation of the state's power industry was not the only cause of Iemma's downfall. The NSW Labor headquarters in Sussex Street, under the leadership of its secretary, Karl Bitar, 37, had tu rned against Iemma months before when his disapproval ratings soared. Iemma told colleagues he detected a change in Bitar's attitude towards him from about Christmas. "By March you could see that Morris was doing worse than the party," a source said. "The punters out there thought they had been conned; Morris came in as premier and said it was a new government. They had given him the benefit of the doubt and progress had not been made. So the electorate was pissed off." Against the drum-beat of the polls, the privatisation debate was growing steadily more bitter. Party bosses had kept a tight lid on the festering tensions over electricity during last year's federal election campaign. But once that was out of the way, all bets were off. "Karl Bitar and Joh n Robertson [the UnionsNSW boss] did nothing else from the Monday after the federal election until the state party conference in May except try to manage the electricity debate," said a source.

In a society where most of the people live in poverty, the principle that 'more is better' applies. However, when a society becomes affluent this is no longer the case. Many of our problems originate in the fact that some people have not yet grasped this simple truth. One of the problems emanating from this state of affairs is the depletion of natural resources and the pollution of our land, air and water. This book gives a brief account of some of the groups who have attempted to restore a balance, or sanity, into the debate about where we, as a society, are heading.

  • 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.

  • A Government of Advisers: the Role, Influence and Accountability of Ministerial Advisers in the New South Wales Political System
    A Government of Advisers: The Role, Influence and Accountability of Ministerial Advisers in the New South Wales Political System By Benito Folino School of Social Sciences and International Studies A thesis presented to the University of NSW for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2010 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: FOLINO First name: BENITO Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCE AND Faculty: ARTS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES INTERNATIONAL STUDIES Title: A Government of Advisers: The Role, Influence and Accountability of Ministerial Advisers in the New South Wales Political System Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) This thesis explores the roles, influence and accountability of ministerial advisers in the New South Wales (NSW) political system with a focus on developments during the Greiner/Fahey and Carr Governments. Important normative concerns are raised about advisers' functions, their power and influence, the legal and ethical framework in which they operate, and their involvement in managing interactions between ministers and the permanent public service. Much of the Australian research on advisers has focused on developments at the federal level with little attention being paid to political staffing arrangements in state jurisdictions. This thesis contributes to scant knowledge about advisers by focusing on the developments of political staffing in NSW. A grounded-theory based methodology is used on data collected from 23 interviews with advisers, ministers, government officials, and interest group representatives. Interpretivism was chosen as the principal research paradigm for eliciting an understanding of advisers' place in the NSW governmental system.

  • Inquiry Into Electoral and Political Party Funding
    Submission No 83 INQUIRY INTO ELECTORAL AND POLITICAL PARTY FUNDING Organisation: Terrigal Area Residents Association “TARA” Inc Name: Ms Sue Edwards Position: President Telephone: 4385-6020 Date received: 13/02/2008 Terrigal Area Residents Association “TARA” Inc. 2007-08 Officers President: Sue Edwards Vice-President: Ted Sandeman Secretary: Mary Johnsson Treasurer: Ted Edwards P.O. Box 523, Terrigal 2260 Submission by email to: [email protected] 13 February 2008 The Legislative Council Select Committee on Electoral and Political Party Funding TARA welcomes the Legislative Council of NSW’s initiative on 27.06.07 in appointing a select committee to inquire into and report on the funding of, and disclosure of donations to, political parties, and candidates in state and local government elections. It is disappointing, however, that apart from the media release on 15.11.07 and a call for submissions on 19.11.07 little publicity has been given to this matter. The period 19.11.07 - 15.02.07 (closure of submissions) conveniently some might add, coincided with Federal Elections, Christmas and the January holidays. All media attention is currently on the return to Parliament of the new Federal Government and The Sorry Bill. One must ask the Question: Who could fund the advertising to raise awareness of the people of the Inquiry by this Select Committee into Electoral & Political Party Funding? The Liberal Party? The Labour Party? The Unions? The Development Industry? The Association of Hotels, The Gaming/Racing Industry? The Food Industry? The big Corporations? The answer of course is “NO” because all of the above are either major donors or major beneficiaries of electoral and political donations, and it would not be in their interest.
