    The Children’s Court: Implications of a New Jurisdiction Jennifer Marie Anderson https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5562-6383 Williamstown Police Court c. 1890s with children in foreground Andrew Rider (1821 – 1903), State Library Victoria, H86.98/640. Doctor of Philosophy March 2021 Melbourne Law School and School of Social and Political Studies University of Melbourne Submitted in total fulfilment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ABSTRACT This thesis examines the establishment of Children’s Courts in the state of Victoria through the Children’s Court Act 1906 (Vic) and the campaign for legislative change in the city of Melbourne. It asks as its central question why the foundation of a separate Court was, and continues to be, understood as a primary response to children’s social and economic disadvantage. The thesis employs social history methodologies to show, through close jurisprudential examination of archives, how the Children’s Court was theorised by middle class reformers as a solution to their anxieties about the public behaviour of poor urban children in early twentieth-century Melbourne. It reveals how those anxieties were projected on to concerns over Court environment and procedures, as well as how key decisions about which children should be included within (and excluded from) the new jurisdiction reflected reformers’ social and moral understandings about criminal responsibility, poverty and welfare, race and gender. The thesis also documents the experiences of children who were the subject of historical Court intervention. Their life stories demonstrate the close interrelationship between structural disadvantage and a Court appearance. This research project has both historical and contemporary significance.

    Aspects of the Victorian Parliament at the Exhibition Building, 1901 to 1927

    Parliament in Exile: Aspects of the Victorian Parliament at the Exhibition Building, 1901 to 1927 Victor Isaacs * For 26 years the Victorian Parliament met in the Exhibition Building in Melbourne whilst the Commonwealth Parliament temporarily occupied Parliament House in Spring Street. Especially during the early years the Victorians protested periodically about the arrangement and for a brief period returned to their own building. Much of the discontent centred on access to and use of the Library. The Federal Parliament occupied the Victorian State Parliament House at Spring Street from 1901 to 1927. Various political histories of the Commonwealth have examined Federal occupation of this building. 1 This article, however, examines the impact on the Victorian Parliament. These included an attempt by the Victorians not to leave their home, but to have the Commonwealth Parliament occupy the Exhibition Building, and an attempt by the State to occupy the Spring Street building simultaneously with the Commonwealth Parliament. The Commonwealth’s choice There was no mention of the site of the future Federal capital in the draft Federal Constitution submitted to colonial electors for approval in the 1898 referenda, and this was one of the factors leading to the failure of the referendum in New South Wales. Consequently, a Premiers’ Conference of 1899 settled this and some other contentious questions. The revised draft Constitution, in section 125, now provided that the future federal capital would be in territory granted by New South Wales, and that ‘The Parliament shall sit at Melbourne until it meet at the seat of Government.’ Both New South Welsh and Victorian honour was satisfied.

  • A History of Victorian Public Service Unionism 1885-1946

    A History of Victorian Public Service Unionism 1885-1946

    From Servants to Citizens: A History of Victorian Public Service Unionism 1885-1946 Dustin Raffaele Halse Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Swinburne Institute for Social Research Swinburne University of Technology 2015 Abstract The history of Victorian departmental public service unionism had its genesis in the era of ‘New Unionism’ in the 1880s. On 17 June 1885, a group of approximately 1,000 Victorian public servants packed into Melbourne’s Athenaeum Theatre to create Australia’s first state departmental public service union. And yet despite its age, Victorian departmental public service unionism has seldom been the subject of serious historical analysis. It has alternatively been posited that public servants are devoid of the ‘bonds of class feelings’. Public servants have commonly been treated as a residual class in both Marxist and non-Marxist labour history writings. This dissertation therefore fills an obvious lacuna in Australian trade union historiography. It focuses on the experiences of ordinary Victorian public service unionists and the actions of the various configurations of Victorian service unionism from 1885-1946. The central argument of this history is that public service unionists, with the aid of the public service union, challenged the theoretical and practical limitations placed upon their political and industrial citizenship. Indeed, public servants refused to accept the traditional ‘servant’ stereotype. Throughout this dissertation the regulations governing the unique employment status of public servants are revealed. What becomes evident is that public service unionists are frequently subjected to extreme levels of political coercion as a direct result of the historical influence of the master and servant legacy.
