The first edition of the Parliamentary Handbook was published in 1922 and together the succeeding volumes represent one of the best historical record of any Parliament in Australia. In this edition a significant restructure of the Handbook has taken place in an effort to improve usability for the reader. The staff of both Houses of Parliament have done an enormous amount of work to restructure this volume for easier reference which has resulted in a more accurate, reliable and internally consistent body of work.

  • The Political Career of Senator Paddy Lynch (1867-1944)
    With an Olive Branch and a Shillelagh: the Political Career of Senator Paddy Lynch (1867-1944) by Danny Cusack M.A. Presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University December 2002 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not been previously submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. ……..…………………………… Danny Cusack ABSTRACT As a loyal Empire man and ardent conscriptionist, Irish-born Senator Paddy Lynch swam against the prevailing Irish Catholic Labor political current. He was one of those MP’s who followed Prime Minister W.M. Hughes out of the Federal Labor caucus in November 1916, serving out the rest of his political career in the Nationalist ranks. On the face of things, he represents something of a contradiction. A close examination of Lynch’s youth in Ireland, his early years in Australia and his subsequent parliamentary career helps us to resolve this apparent paradox. It also enables us to build up a picture of Lynch the man and to explain his political odyssey. He emerges as representative of that early generation of conservative Laborites (notably J.C. Watson, W.G. Spence and George Pearce) who, once they had achieved their immediate goals of reform, saw their subsequent role as defending the prevailing social order. Like many of these men, Lynch’s commitment to the labour movement’s principles of solidarity and collective endeavour co-existed with a desire for material self-advancement. More fundamentally, when Lynch accumulated property and was eventually able to take up the occupation which he had known in Ireland – farming – his evolving class interest inevitably occasioned a change in political outlook.

  • The Life and Times of Sir John Waters Kirwan (1866-1949)
    ‘Mightier than the Sword’: The Life and Times of Sir John Waters Kirwan (1866-1949) By Anne Partlon MA (Eng) and Grad. Dip. Ed This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2011 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not been previously submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. ...............................................................

At a time when the Premier of Western Australia Sir John Forrest had begun to doubt the wisdom of his resource rich but under-developed colony joining the emerging Commonwealth, Kirwan conspired with Perth Federalists, Walter James and George Leake, to force Forrest’s hand. Editor and part- owner of the influential Kalgoorlie Miner, the ‘pocket-handkerchief’ newspaper he had transformed into one of the most powerful journals in the colony, he waged a virulent press campaign against the besieged Premier, mocking and belittling him at every turn and encouraging his east coast colleagues to follow suit.

  • WEIGHT of the CHAIN Biographies of Mayors and Shire Presidents in Kalgoorlie and Boulder 1895 - 2011
    CITY OF KALGOORLIE-BOULDER WEIGHT OF THE CHAIN Biographies of Mayors and Shire Presidents in Kalgoorlie and Boulder 1895 - 2011 INTRODUCTION The following people who are in this exhibition are men, who have been elected by the people, whom they believed would be best for the community and its progress. All were business men who had a passion for politics and who had the drive to create communities that were progressive for a young country. In 1895 when the Municipality of Kalgoorlie was first gazetted, all Mayors were elected by the people for a year. In effect every year was an election year. Under the Local Government Act of 1960 the Mayor could either be elected by popular vote or appointed from those that were elected. The Councils of Kalgoorlie and Boulder retained the popular elected Mayors. During the course of the Mayor’s term that person is the voice of Council and makes sure the best is done for the local government region the he represents. The Mayor is Chairman of the Council, he presides over meetings; guides and leads the community; carries out civil and ceremonial duties such as Citizenship ceremonies; speaks on behalf of the Council; and liaises with the CEO on local government affairs. The Chairmen of the Roads Board and Shire Presidents biographies have deliberately not been included; those men actually took a back seat to the goings on in Kalgoorlie and Boulder. The Roads Board managed all the land and infrastructure that existed outside the Municipalities boarders. The Roads Board managed the Golden Mile and the small communities that supplied the labour in the mines.

Susan Elizabeth Walker was born in Plymouth, England on 14 September 1951, daughter of Joseph Herbert Walker, a builder, and Sheila Webster.

  • Compulsory Arbitration and the Western Australian Gold-Mining Industry: a Re-Examination of the Inception of Compulsory Arbitration in Western Australia
    IRSH 47 (2002), pp. 59±100 DOI: 10.1017/S0020859002000487 # 2002 Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis Compulsory Arbitration and the Western Australian Gold-Mining Industry: A Re-Examination of the Inception of Compulsory Arbitration in Western Australia Naomi Segalà Summary: In 1900, Western Australia, a self-governing British colony, adopted compulsory conciliation and arbitration legislation, the ®rst Australian colony to do so. This article focuses primarily on the roles the colonial state and capital played in the adoption of the legislation and proposes a broader, more complex explanation for the introduction of the legislation than current mainstream Western Australian historiography, which, mostly, constructed the event as an unproblematic regional labour triumph. This article argues that the legislation was passed to prevent disruption to gold mining, the industry driving the development of the colony, and to revive the ¯agging political fortunes of the colonial government. It asserts that the timing of the legislation pre-empted a more effective bill being introduced under conditions less favourable to capital. Organized labour, which, through its lobbying, had created consensus about the desirability of introducing the legi- slation, was unable to in¯uence the shape of the legislation signi®cantly. INTRODUCTION Western Australia, a British colony granted self-government in 1890, was, in December 1900, the ®rst Australian colony to pass compulsory conciliation and arbitration legislation.1 Compulsory arbitration was to dominate industrial relations in Australia at state and federal level until the late twentieth century. Intended as a dispute settlement mechanism, it à The author thanks especially her supervisor, Patrick Bertola, and Bert Altena, as well as the anonymous reviewers for their helpful comments on earlier versions of this paper.

    ROBERT FURSE McMILLAN." I. THE SUPREME COURT OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA: ITS EARLY HISTORY. Robert Furse MeMillan devoted 28 years of his life to the service of Western Australia. He arrived at Fremantle on 19th February 1903, less than a month after his forty-fifth birthday, the newly appointed second puisne judge of the Supreme Court; and he collapsed and died at Crawley on 24th April 1931, in his seventy-fourth year, Chief Justice and Lieutenant Governor of the State, having just delivered a characteristically appropriate and witty speech at the official opening of St. George's, the first of the residential colleges at the Cra,wley site of the University. These 28 years spanned, more or less, the middle of the first century of the Supreme Court's existence, and his was a com- manding influence in the development and administration of the law in the State in this era. His judgments dominate the Western Austra- lian Law Reports;' to a great extent he set the pattern for the Court; he was an example to and commanded the respect of all the members of the profession; and that he did much to bring to the Court the prestige it now enjoys cannot be denied. My purpose in writing this biographical account of him is to bring about a better awareness and appreciation of his contribution to the development and administration of the law. I have tried to do this mainly by an analysis and appraisement of some of his very many reported judgments. My enquiries into his private life have not been deep.
